Today, it was supposed to be payday. Instead, it was the day I found out that, for two weeks, I have been volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, and am not actually employed by a construction company. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished my project two weeks early. Now I am being laid off because there is no work to do. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, I got hired and now I have to work. FML
Today, I was expecting a big sum of money for skipping last year's vacation while working as a freelancer, as I've done the last four years. Turns out I won't get the money, as last month I accepted a full time employment, and now that money has been turned into vacation days instead. Guess I won't buy a new home yet… FML
Today, I went in for my first day of work. I told them three months in advance that I was going away for 2 weeks to build a school in a third world country. I was fired. FML
Today, I took unpaid leave for a month to work as a temp at a charity organisation, assuming it was paid due to the great benefits mentioned. During my placement, I noticed clues it was voluntary but it didn't register. At the end, I discovered it was unpaid. I get to do voluntary work for a whole month. FML
Today, I was laid off on the day I was about to put in an offer on a house. This company promised me the world, and I broke myself working to prove my worth. Turns out, I wasn't getting paid for the lunches and breaks I didn't take either. FML
Today, I got a badly-needed job at a local discount store. After being hired, I found out I'm to help with the soon-to-begin store closing sale, and I'll be jobless again after 3 months. FML
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML
Today, it was the day that I had been waiting for weeks to arrive: I finally finished the hiring process for my new job… Only to find out not only my paycheck, but the job itself was fake. Thanks Indeed, my first new bank account after years of debt, my disability, and my will to live greatly appreciate it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hmm. It's pretty obvious this FML is total bullshit. There's no reason that you shouldn't have known what you were getting into (aside from maybe a mental disability). On the other hand, if you faked this FML, then quit being a dumbass and buzz off.

You should have known something was amiss when all of your co-workers were singing "Kumbaya" all day. Paid construction workers only speak in short sentences with some form of the word "****" in each one them at least once.

Or how much they'd be paid. That'd be one of my first questions. If the answer was "nothing" that might have been a good hint...

How can you not know that? To be employed you have to sign a contract. If you did sign a contract, you should read it properly. YDI.
