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?

With a job that stressful, I know I'd be pissed. Especially if you don't live close by! Pranks can be fun, but some are just inconsiderate.

They suck major ass, that's all that needs to be said here. Sorry, OP

I would let supervisors hear the message and make them pay you for the day

Unless the supervisors are the ones that called her in, I doubt they'd pay her for not working.

IF (and I highly doubt they were) the supervisors were involved, OP can still take her issue to HR.

Prank them back by offering to go on a coffee run from them which has laxatives inside. They will be ******** non stop.

As much as I like what you're suggeting, I'm afraid if it really happens OP will be forced to replace them and his deed will backfire at him. We need a devious plan *thinking*.

As much as they deserve this, I don't think their patients do...

You should go back with an assault rifle and turn them into trauma patients at the hospital. That'll teach 'em!

Yes! More business for me! Uh, I mean no! Bad perdix! Terrible idea!

"Prank" them by cutting the valve stems on their tires. They get flat tires with out having to replace them.

Just take in some chocolate brownies with laxatives and get all the bastards in your department at the same time.
