Today, I made an excuse and didn't turn up at work. Little did I know my boss did the same. We both bumped into each other at the shopping centre across town. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I snuck out of work 2 hours early. As I was speeding away so I wouldn't be seen, I rear-ended my boss as he was leaving the lower parking lot for a late lunch. FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I sneaked off work early. As I was in the elevator on the way down to leave, it stopped at my boss's floor, and he got in. FML
Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML
Today, I found out my co-worker had made plans for a night out, just as I'd cancelled all of mine to work with him on a project for the next 4 hours. FML
Today, I got roped into work on my day off because the two new guys weren't showing up. My boss promised that I would get tomorrow off if I did, so I said okay. However, as soon as I came in and got all ready to go, guess who came in? FML
Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML
Today, I showed up to work at 6am, only to find out the schedule was changed. I wasn't actually supposed to be there until 9:15. My boss never told me this. I didn't get to go home either, he just said, "Oh well. Get to work." FML
Today, I went in to work and was handed a write-up for having lied about being sick in order to leave early yesterday. Apparently, a co-worker saw me leave the parking lot, then immediately pull into the shopping center next door. I was going to Walgreens for cold medicine. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick me up from work. We work at the same place. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well even if the boss doesn't get him/her in trouble, he now knows what kind of person he/she is and will be less likely to trust them.
Oceanborn_fml 24
well, the same kind of person as the boss then...

He could be one of those "Do as I say but not what I do" types of boss.

Well if your boss did it too they can't really get mad at you. They're just as guilty.

One of the perks to being the boss is that you need not follow the rules. Note that the post is not "I skipped out of work and ran into my employee FML".

Well at least he can't blame you for a crime he commited as well. Hope you don't get in trouble, but it is kinda your own fault.

its not a crime to ditch work. I say they deserved it because they lied just to stay home. They deserve to get fired for that sort of thing. Luckily, their boss doesnt have a good reason to fire them since they did the same thing.

Here's to hoping you don't get written up while he gets away with it

In line at the unemployment office. -"Damn cutbacks and corporate downsizing. My entire office was off-shored. How'd you lose your job?" -"It's a funny story actually..."

Well if both of you did the same, just hush up and say nothing... Just do the nod and move on.
