Today, I was fired for being late to work, even though the only reason I was late was because I had to stop at Starbucks to get my boss a drink. His son, who is at least 30 minutes late to work every day, was just walking in as I was walking out with all of my stuff. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired for being late. Apparently you're supposed to be on time after your boss specifically tells you that the office will open an hour late. FML
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, despite leaving early to go to work, I still ended up late because some dude decided to have an argument with the bus driver, delaying us by 20 minutes. As a result, I was fired without a write-up. This was my first ever time being late. FML
Today, I did the walk of shame at work after walking in 20 minutes late with a venti iced coffee in my hand for the umpteenth time, my boss then told me to pack up all my things and get out so I could have all the time in the world to get iced coffees. FML
Today, my new boss, the CEO's son, finally showed up for work, three days late and right after lunch break. His first order of business was to call a meeting and scream at everyone for not having a diet latte waiting for him on his desk. God help us all. FML
Today, after waking up in a panic because I was running late for work again, I realized I was fired for that exact reason the day before. FML
Today, my boss fired me because I "didn't get the right kind of coffee beans." FML
Today, I was late for work and got chewed out by my boss. To console myself I decided to drink a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. My work provides this for free. When I did, my boss told me that in fact it wasn't, nor has it ever been, free; all this time I've been stealing other people's coffee. FML
Today, I was let go from my job for not being able to come into work early. FML

Talk to the HR committee! They will help you. Or at least tell us that you threw the coffee in his face!

I feel like this is one of those FMLs where we didn't get the whole story.

We're you told to get the drink or were you just doing it to get on your boss's good side?

Maybe you could have borrowed the casually sitting turd from one of the previous fml's for his coffee.

You are better off. People like that aren't worth working for.

Lots of people worked for George W. Bush and he was freaking king of cronyism. Regardless of one's politics, he hired people he liked regardless of qualifications. A paycheck is still a paycheck.

Do you happen to work for a fashion magazine with Meryl Streep as your boss? Seriously, though, that's messed up. I hope you find a better job where they actually value your hard work.

If bringing your boss his coffee is a part of your duties, then it is not a valid excuse for being late. YDI.

If you had already gave him the coffee I would have taken it right out of his hands spit in it then dropped it in the trash can then walked out only for the reason I think if you dumped it on him he could press charges

So did you keep the coffee? Throw it at his face? Drank it? Spilled it? Gave it to his son? I need answers dam it!

Hopefully they have an HR department. Smaller places sometimes don't.
