Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. FML
Today, my best friend went to my boss and offered to do my job for half the pay. FML
Today, I found out the time I'd requested off for a trip in 2 months, that my boss said that I could go on, wasn't fully processed, just in case he decided I couldn't go. He told me the second part after I'd bought no refund tickets for shows for both me and my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was going to a big concert at my university. I paid around a hundred twenty bucks for my ticket. Outside the venue, people were handing out the tickets. For free. FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I was supposed to take a test, but the professor didn't have it ready because he went to a concert last night. I sold my own tickets to that very concert in order to study for the test. 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, my boss selected me to be the company representative at an important meeting in Portland with one of our biggest clients. I was thrilled, until I realized he hadn't said anything about my plane ticket or hotel reservation. He later told me that I'll need to acquire those things myself. FML
Today, my cute coworker begged me to cover his shift tomorrow, and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner to make up for it. I was very excited because I've been crushing on him for a long time. I later overheard him tell his friend that he didn't plan on showing up for our dinner. FML
Today, I was working a concert ticket booth. A lady gave me her ticket, I punched it, and told her to enjoy the show. She asked for the “hotel.” Apparently, she thought that the concert ticket cost included a hotel stay, since she traveled from out of state. She cussed me out and had to be escorted out. FML

Photocopy the tickets, sell the photocopies to him, and the real copies to someone worthy of them. Voila.

Gah, he was just trying to be nice. You know you'd rather be working than going to an awesome concert, right? Jeesh, so ungrateful. But seriously, your boss is a bastard.

Sell the other to the girl above with Chlamydia. And send her a dozen roses from your boss ;).
FMLKitten 15
32- Damn, I didn't know girls were so easy. All it takes is a dozen roses to win our virginity? Suddenly not too glad to be a woman.
CrewBoy 10
She's already lost her virginity... But no, you're completely correct. Instead of roses Get some shitty vodka. It's cheaper. And works better.

Shitty booz and a STD! Good times? Humm,no.
MDTeddy 13
Go to the concert. The worst he can do is fire you.
NothernNightmare 18
Ugh so many double standards for bosses!! He's sucking the fun out of your work life and now your social life! Stand up to him and tell him what's he's doing isn't at all fair.
X_Codes 11
I'd be surprised if this was legal. At the very least, OP should report this to HR.
kofeinisti 6
Yes, because party-pooping is against the law.
Jf770 10
Or just tell him you don't wanna sell the tickets to him. His plan would be spoiled.
simonsaysYDI 8
Actually in many states there is a minimum amount of time bosses must inform you of schedule changes and such. OP needs to check his laws out and see if he even has to show up. Normally I'd advise just working, but when he is so obviously trying to get cheap tickets.. screw him.

I had a teacher named Mrs. Burns in 4th grade. She was the only teacher in the school who didn't celebrate any holidays. Halloween Parade= Math Class.

More like an asshole from the sounds of it :/ Unless you're a cold hearted capitalist of course.

13- You used a disappointment face. That means you know what a disappointment face looks like and how it would be used on the Internet. 5 used a disappointment face. Since 5 used a disappointment face, you should know that 5 was being facetious in an otherwise ironically false comment. Check yoself befo' you wreck yoself.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Most tickets have security features which include copy protection that reveals watermarked texts or hidden words once copied - voiding both the copies and the real tickets. Take your 'voila' back bud.

MormonPornstar - Did you hear that whooshing noise just now? That was the sound of the joke going over your head.
forever_born 6
Hey 24 he was saying that so the boss would get caught. So take your comment back!
HunkyFes 6
If the person with the real tickets go to the concert first, then only the boss would get in trouble. Winning.
Sitaaboo 6
I like that idea!!! **** him the way he ****** you! Rude guy.. Then tell him it was funny though! :D
NeonPopRocks 14
Then OP ends up jobless, and her boss would have probably told the police who sold then to him. Voila, unemployment!
FMLKitten 15
88) I don't know about you, but I'd rather be unemployed than be working for an asshat. Just sayin'
babykakes96 4
if he's gonna do that and get fired for that, then he might as well just go to the concert himself like he wanted..
LSS_fml 18
Tell him to stick his job up his arse....
Pretty_Pink_Lady 10
Because being fired would totally help the OP's situation.
LSS_fml 18
Probably not... It would make me feel better if I were in OP's shoes. Stick it to the man!
ICastillo 25
Ya or tell him **** off you aren't selling him the tickets and sell them to someone else in front of him.

Find two of your friends who hate their bosses as well and draw up an elaborate plan to murder each other's boss but beware of Mother fucka Jones he is not to be trusted.

Try to trade shifts with another worker possibly... Then you'll have the last laugh if you can get your shift traded.
enormouselephant 15
Or just call in a sick day!
halestorm911 0
...as long as OP doesn't work in a place where the boss has to approve shift trades
anstismike 6
I believe Offspring said it best. "Say no way! Say no wayyyah! No waaaaay! Now now go and find a new job."
tygerarmy 35
Call in sick, go anyway! Or if that'll get you fired, give it to family, friends or sell them on StubHub. Then using the least amount of tact possible while not getting in trouble tell your boss they're an asshole.
