Today, I was planning on enjoying my one day off work from the hospital, at home. I got a call saying I had to come in because my department was short-handed. I went in to find almost everyone there. Turns out it was a prank by my coworkers. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on my day off, I received a call from my boss asking why I wasn't at work yet. After getting dressed and an hour-long train ride later, I got there only to find out that it was an April Fool's prank. I had to take the train back home. FML
Today, I was legitimately sick so I called in to work. Apparently, 4 other guys on my line called in too. My boss thought we planned it. Now we're all written up. FML
Today, I spent all day doing a project for myself and then for a friend who's sick. Turned out it was a prank everyone in the class was pulling on me. I missed a baseball game because of it. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to prank call my job on my day off. I star 69’ed the numbers and prank called my coworkers. However, when I got to my boss, he knew who I was, and threatened to report me to the police. I’d forgotten to star 69. Safe to say, I was fired on my day off. FML
Today, just a few minutes after I got to work, my usually laconic boss came into my office and said, "Pack your stuff and get the f*ck out." Apparently, half my department was being downsized. Thinking it was an April Fool's, I burst out laughing and told him how funny the prank was. He wasn't kidding. FML
Today, my boss called me to inform me that I'm being laid off. In my ensuing fit of rage, I deleted the recent project I've been working on for weeks. Pretty soon after, he called me back to let me know it was a prank. 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, the highlight of my day was someone prank-calling me. FML
Today, I got back from a holiday to find that my coworkers had prepared a “Welcome Back!” surprise. I pretended to be excited, only for them to awkwardly whisper that it was intended for another coworker, who was on her way back from maternity leave the same morning. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get revenge; stick a cardio-pulse-reader-sticky-thingy to each of their eyebrows.

I have to ask, why would #1 say lmao at the end if it wasn't supposed to be funny :/

Although that's a shitty thing for your co-workers to do, I'm sure it didn't absolutely wreck your day. You definitely didn't deserve it, so I guess FYL??? (Although your life is far from ******).

Or, 34, OP could make sure that the coworkers end up spending a few months in said hospital...

Or OP could tell them they missed their kid's birthday for this, and walk away leaving them to feel guilty!

I've had something similar happen when I changed departments at work and everyone knew how much I missed my old department so a manager told me they were extremely busy and needed me in for my old department. I rushed over with joy and then was told it was a joke... but they apreciated the enthusiam.

Time to call one or two of your cow-orkers to tell them that their shifts were cancelled at the last minute, then watch them get canned for missing their shifts.

At least you didn't have to stay and work. Go back home and put your phone on silent.

That's awful, FYL. Now the the question is what shall you do to make their lives ****'d?! Surely this calls for retribution!

I can't help but to get reminded of Scrubs reading your post.

Look at it this way, maybe they missed you and wanted to see you again. You never know, one of those co-workers might be your significant other.

You're thinking too hard.

Even if that were true chances are OP wouldn't have the same feeling back after that incident.

Get them back. I'm sure there's something that you can do to make them regret it.

Well, on your way home go to the store and buy some eggs and egg their houses. A prank for a prank, right?
