Today, I had organised to go for an all day fishing trip, but had forgotten to book a day off. I called my boss and told him that I had to stay with my mum in hospital after a car crash that she had last night. He called me a liar and fired me. Turns out my mum is having an affair with my boss. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was making the daily commute to work when suddenly my mother calls me, crying that there's been a death in the family, then abruptly hangs up. I speed home, to find my mother holding the tiny corpse of a fish that she got 2 weeks ago. I got fired for being late to work. FML
Today, my boss fired me after chewing me out for the horrible date he had with my mother. FML
Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Today, I was driving to work and I got a text from my girlfriend. She said she was breaking up with me. I was a little heartbroken, but I had to get on with my day. I got to work and my boss fired me. Turns out, my boss and girlfriend have been having an affair and she told him to fire me. FML
Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML
Today, my boss fired me because he wants to start dating my mother and apparently doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, my boss left early, so I decided to take an extended break and run home. I found my wife in bed with my boss. I got fired for leaving work. FML
Today, I got fired for taking time off to see my sister in the hospital after she got in a car accident. Before I got fired, I found out my boss took time off because her horoscope said she should. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

I've never lied to get out of work before, I'd be way too afraid of getting caught and looking stupid.

How does he deserve it? What if your boss banged your mom?

I wouldn't say it's your fault, everyone lies, i don't see why everyone is acting like it's such a big deal. Especially since he found out his mom was having an affair. That's much worse.

Agreed, this one goes both ways. YDI because you lied to your boss, but what a messed up way to get caught in a lie. That's awful--FYL.

You need to tell him you're calling his wife. You're in the best position now! It's HIS FML now that you know! Also - how the heck can you lie? When you go to work tomorrow you're gonna have SUNBURN you idiot!

What if he isn't married? The way it sounds to me is that his mother is the one having an affair on her husband.

Ouch. That sucks. But like number 10 said - call his wife. :P Revenge is a sweet dish best served cold.
