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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Also, people on time wasting websites shouldn't call others lazy.

Lucky for me, my boss isn't on FML (Another reason not to use a picture of myself as my profile picture)

The problem is bosses can get away with doing that, so if he's feeling hypocritical he can still get you in trouble.

Sounds like a good time as any to pretend to be your long lost identical twin.

You should be ok for this time. But it's gonna be a lot hard next time asking for a day off even with a valid reason.

Lol an old Mexican standoff. He can't rat you out and you can't rat him out. It's more of a win win. But next time don't go somewhere common

how about they dont lie to the boss to stay home. even though their boss did the same thing, they still have the right to fire them for that. I mean it wouldnt be fair if they got in trouble but they deserved it since they feel like they can take advantage of the boss and lie to them

Must be nice to have a job you can just "call off" on. I suppose now you can either ignore each other or laugh it off

i agree. they deserve to get in trouble for taking advantage of their boss and lying to them just so they can watch tv.
