Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I covered a 10-hour shift for a sick coworker. Glad to earn some extra money for the holidays, I went to clock out. I hadn't even clocked in when I first got there at 7 am. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, during my work shift, my car got stolen and I had to walk home on the rain. While I was walking home, my stolen car drove by. FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, when I went to work, my nice coworker gave me a gift basket. And cookies. I had to tell him that I caught his kid keying my car last night. FML
Today, a co-worker called in sick due to a family emergency. I ended up working an unplanned 12-hour overnight shift. After I clocked out, I dragged myself out to the parking lot to go home. Someone had smeared tacos all over my car. FML
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, I got a well paying job that requires me to drive around and present a product to potential customers. After going out for a victory meal with friends, I came home to find my car broken into, and my GPS stolen. I need it for the job. FML
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least you did something nice for somebody else

Cars are worth money. People like having money. Some people don't like working at a job to make money. You can take someone's car and get money for it. Car theft is a logical enterprise. Of course, it is totally unacceptable in a civilized society which is why it is a crime and people caught doing it go to jail. I hope that straightens out things for you.

I honestly don't understand how someone could be low scum enough to steal a car. It boggles my mind. Good luck getting it back OP

The car park should have CCTV in it. If it doesn't, then it can easily be retrieved by the police looking up the reg plate etc. Statistics state that 82% of all stolen cars are returned at some point.

Potato chips may not be as valuable, but they are less likely to send you to jail also.

My mother once had her car stolen in Boston when she lived there and it was found later that day about half a mile away. The cops said the crook probably chickened out and just ran for it after realizing what they had done. My dad had his car broken in to with the stereo system stolen as well as some of cassette collection. His favorite ones were still there...he felt insulted.

Hopefully the gift card was for a bus pass...

Looks like you won't be covering any closing shifts anytime soon.
loloalltheway 23
Why wouldn't OP do that? A car can be stolen at anytime at the day and night not just on closing hours.

He might not be able to cover any shifts, if he can't find a ride.

You made 2 people's day better. The person you covered for and the person you have a free car to. Your such a nice person :)

I'm sorry but it shouldn't be 'covered'. Rather, it should be 'cover'. I shall dig myself a trench to protect myself from the artillery shells now.

For some reason i read it as "cat" not "car"
mikeymayhem_87 15
Why yes.... No good deed goes unpunished. Thus, some asshole stole OP's cat!
