Today, in my rush to do my hair and get to work, I managed to trip over my dog, hit my eye on the counter, and sprain my ankle. I arrived at work with a black eye and a painful limp. My boss didn't care, and fired me for showing up late. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got into a bad car accident, where I got severe whiplash, swollen knees, and cuts everywhere. I called my boss to let him know I wouldn't be able to make it in and he fired me for being 'not dependable'. FML
Today, I called into work because I was too tired to keep my eyes open. My boss berated me over the phone, saying I should be more like that other employee who came in with a broken toe. That was me. FML
Today, I realized I was late for work, so I rushed out of bed only to accidentally step onto my dog which then promptly bit my leg and now I'm in the ER. FML
Today, at work, we had a fire drill. I was the first to run out of the building, but in my haste, I tripped on the stairs, and rolled down the flight. When I got to the bottom, I tried to stand up, but my ankle was already swelling. What felt like the entire office watched as I limped to the designated meeting point. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for being 3 hours late. I was late because I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. Apparently, breaking my arm is not a good enough excuse. FML
Today, I woke up an hour and half late to work, sleeping through nine alarms, then fell and injured my knee going into work. I'd forgotten my work ID and door card, and misplaced my coffee mug. It's only 9 a.m.! FML
Today, I got up early to go to the gym before work. As I was walking to my car, I slipped on a patch of what appeared to be a patch of wet moss and fell, spraining my ankle. Not only did I have to miss my workout, but I had to call in sick to work and spend the day at home, hobbling around with a swollen ankle. FML
Today, I was walking to work, when I slipped and landed on my tail bone. Worse still, my hot coffee went flying into my face. I currently can't see out of my left eye. FML
Today, I helped save three people, including a newborn, when I was sole witness to a bad car crash. My boss said that wasn’t a valid reason to be 4 hours late for work and fired me. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML

True, the boss may suck. But a couple questions - is this the first time you were late? Or is this a common occurrence and the "last straw"... And did you even call to explain you would be late and why? Just sounds fishy he would up and fire a great employee for one late morning...

28-Those were my thoughts exactly. If OP was in such a rush, she had to know the boss wasn't going to tolerate tardiness for whatever reason, whether it was by her own actions or company policy.

Am I the only one who cares if the dog is okay!?

Tell him you just wrestled a crocodile and if he fired you then you would beat the shit outta him

Kudos for using "Richard" instead of d**k

Because using asterisks makes the word less 'offensive'.

Asterisks make me angry.

Your boss is a douchecandle, OP and I hope you can find a new job quickly or get your old one back!

Why candle?
Blackcatluck 19
Wait what?! You put a candle up there? That's a strange way of cleaning it...

DoucheCandle. I've never heard of that before! Although my boyfriend and I call each other douchemonkies.

You should've gone to the hospital and taken a sick day!

And that's when you bring up the"other guy" into the conversation. Just don't let him catch on that the "other guy" was actually your dog who effortlessly got the shit beaten out of you.
