Today, I didn't feel like going to work, so I called in sick. Five hours later while out shopping, I got hit by a car at a crosswalk. Now I'm laid-up in the local hospital, really wishing I was with the guys at work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got hit by a car walking to work. My first thought wasn't to call 911 or my husband, but to call work to let them know I wouldn't be able to make it in for my shift. FML
Today, I got hit by a car while walking into the hospital to visit my wife, who had also gotten hit by a car. FML
Today, I got rear-ended while on my way to work. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't pregnant, suffering from a horrible UTI, and running a fever. My boss called in sick, so now I'm stuck running the office alone. With whiplash. FML
Today, I was riding an electric scooter on my way to work when a car sped out of a driveway and hit me. Not only did I end up in hospital, but I missed my job on the second day back. FML
Today, while driving to work, an idiot pulled out of a junction without looking and wiped me out. I'm now in hospital with two broken legs, looking at employment pages because I didn't give work "enough notice" about my absence. FML
Today, I was sick, so I went into work to see if I could get my shift covered, instead of just calling in. I ended up working an extra hour. FML
Today, I found out that my boss was actually legally obligated to send me to the hospital after I was hit on the head while working. I had to finish the entire work day while heavily concussed, and by the time I got to the ER I had lost complete feeling in my right side. They asked me to come in the day after. FML
Today, the day before I was supposed to go back to work after I got sick, ended up in the hospital, and primary doctor put me on medical leave, I got fired. FML
Today, after three weeks in the hospital for a lung infection, I was released. On the way home, another car ran a red light and T-boned my car. Back to the hospital I go. FML
Today, I was legitimately sick so I called in to work. Apparently, 4 other guys on my line called in too. My boss thought we planned it. Now we're all written up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good luck explaining to your boss why you were out shopping and getting hit by cars when you were supposed to be "sick".

Lying is bad, but I'm sure we all get tired of work and just want one day off. No?
brasiliano 16
He didn't lie he bended the truth, he was sick, sick of work.

Not every job gives free days. Mine doesn't, I only get sick days and vacation days, and vacation days have to be submitted by request form, then approved.

@23 - Mental health is important. Just look at the numbers, people with more time off are far more productive.

@44 - There are massages that help people like you. Maybe you could actually move your spine horizontally instead of being so stiff. Sorry, I didn't know a job serving french fries or bagging groceries was a "duty". I'm guessing there was no oath taken that says OP has to be morally upstanding. Nobody will die if he doesn't show up, except for maybe OP when he gets hit by a car.

#22 that's how we bend the rules too...I like that...

Don't you think that's a extreme for karma to go to? Maybe them getting caught or something else would be a more appropriate punishment. Someone could have gotten hurt.

The good news is, OP probably earned himself another day off.

He got hit by a karma...?

Ouch): but karma decided to **** you over for lying too! Hope you heal fast!

Shouldn't lie - but hey hope you recover well!

needed to get medicine? it isn't that hard.
smeboo 12
Wouldn't be too hard! ;) Still doesn't justify lying though.
samantha236le 17
Like I'd tell my boss why I got hurt..
BlindlyWandering 17
No need to tell him anything at all beyond that you have to take medical leave. The hr department might want proof of being in the hospital, but by federal law they can't ask why.

You can as well go shopping if you are "sick". How else are you supposed to get groceries or medicine? Or would you rather starve at home? Of course it has nothing to do with the "shopping" the OP did but to say you can't go shopping if you're sick is just not right.
ShenaniganNinja 20
Easy explanation. They were out getting medicine at the grocery/pharmacy. OP is going to collect a good check from that car driver, assuming it wasn't a hit and run. Also, to those who say it's Karma, unless OP is an ER technician and skipping worked cause someone else to die, then this Karma is extremely disproportionate. Apparently people think that skipping on a day at work makes you deserving of being struck by a vehicle at a crosswalk.
Cathrin 26
I saw a similar FML about someone going into a shopping center to buy cold medicine(and getting accused of faking being sick as a result), maybe the OP could have said that?
penel96 15
Instant karma
fishstick557 14
There's no way that you didn't deserve it
Mightyrif 23
There's no way op didn't deserve to be hit by a car for skipping work? How about if OP's boss was a real jerk?! Saying OP deserved it is just harsh.
sweetnsourrr 11
He just skipped work, I don't think he deserves it at all.
brand125 17
they derserved something, not being hit by a ****** car
xninix_fml 36
I agree with #49.

It was a pun morons. So quick to down vote.

That was cute #34, well done. lol

#34 Damn, you owned them and I thought I was the only one who noticed the pun. ahaha
SweetasCandy0609 28
talk about your instant karma maybe next time you will think twice about lying but I do hope you feel better soon.
sweetnsourrr 11
Everyone lies and its very hypocritical to pretend you don't do the same. Although he did lie, I don't think he deserves to get hit by a car...that's a little too much for a lie.
YepThatsMeee 23
Believe it or not: Not everybody lies about being sick because they don't feel like going to work. "Everybody does it" is just a way to justify it to yourself - telling yourself another lie to not feel bad about the first lie.
PenguinBitch 44
This 'Karma' chick must get around. Everyone here seems to know her.
Turtle_Man 21
Maybe stop lying
