Today, I found a credit card at my job. As store policy goes, we have to cut up lost cards immediately after finding them to protect the cardholders. As I grab the scissors and cut, my manager calls out, "Has anyone seen my credit card?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wanted to use my gift card for a liquor store. I went to pay the cashier, who said he needed to see my license. I gave it to him, along with my gift card. After paying, he asked me if I wanted him to cut it up, since the card was now worthless. I said yes. He cut up the wrong card. FML
Today, at work as a cashier, a guy came up with a cart full of stuff and it took me 10 minutes to ring it all up. When I told him his total, he felt his pockets, said, "Oh shit, I forgot my wallet!" and walked off. He left about 15 bags worth of things for me to put back. FML
Today, I finally found out that someone had stolen my debit card and maxed it out. The good news? Whoever it was forgot to change the address on the card, so everything they bought online has been shipped to me. The bad news? I've received 16 snuggies so far, and I'm still counting. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML
Today, I took my printer to work because the one in my office is broken. When I tried to leave, my boss stopped me and accused me of stealing it from the office. Nobody would believe me when I explained. Now my boss has a new printer. FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I got rejected for approximately the tenth credit card I've applied for, so I called a bank to find out why. Apparently I took out a car loan in 2004 and bought a house in 2006. I was 13 in 2004. The credit report does not have any records of this. Thank you identity theft. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Today, whilst out shopping with my crush, I decided to jokingly try on a silly-looking dress in an overly-expensive shop. Apparently I took the wrong size as I couldn't get out. Not only did the shop assistants have to publicly cut me out of the dress, I had to pay for it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Didn't you recognize your bosses name on the card...?

The name on the card should have given it away that it was your bosses card. If the name was the same as an employee then you should ask if it's theirs or not before playing Edward Scissorhands.

I wouldn't worry. You were only following policy, he'll understand, surely. Or you could hide what you've done? Lol

Guys, the policy itself has nothing to do with it. The OP isn't in the position to question it, so what puts you there?

Good job, OP, for following store policy! Although I do think it's a dumb policy, I realize that you didn't make it and *not following it* could cause you serious trouble at work. Such as being fired, or at least written up. Even if you *knew* it was your boss' card, it's best to follow policy.

Maybe this will show your boss how stupid the policy is and he'll change it! I read a story about a daycare worker who saved her class of kids by putting out the small oven fire in the kitchen and getting the kids to safety. She was fired for violating policy by leaving the classroom-

-to put the fire out in the kitchen. Yes, totally stupid, but employers can f#*% you on dumb things like that. My question is: once you've destroyed a card, how does the owner of the card know what happened to their card? I'm assuming you're not writing down their names to tell them when they call

about it? I wouldn't mind my card being cut up (better safe than sorry & all that) but it WOULD bother me to lose my card and then never know what happened to it. Nevermind, I suppose I'd cancel it as soon as I realized it was missing and it wouldn't matter anyway. Sorry for the broken posts!

Your company policy should be to cut them after three days if the owner hasn't come for it.

Policy or not you should of looked at the name on the card and known it was your boss' card. and I would talk to him about changing the policy to 3 days as someone else suggested

It's his fault for losing the card.
