Today, my boss called me in to tell me I had got a raise. I bought a $1500 Chanel bag. Two hours later he called me in to tell me he was kidding. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. He laughed at me and said, "That's hilarious because I was going to ask you if you could take a pay cut!" FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a cupcake. FML
Today, I discovered that as thanks for my successful efforts to increase my company's monthly revenue, my dumbass of a boss has been awarded a pay bonus. He's wasted no time telling everyone about the sports car he's planning to buy with it. FML
Today, for some reason, I called my boss "Mum" in a meeting. To make it worse, I panicked and followed it up with, “Can I have a raise?” Everyone laughed except my boss. FML
Today, my boss asked me to talk to the HR manager to see if I was happy about my pay, which made me think I was going to get a raise. Turns out they paid me nearly twice as much as they should have for the last 2 years and I owe them over €5000. FML
Today, I was in a bad mood after being stuck in traffic for 2 hours and late for work. I was walking to my building when I saw a 100 dollar note flying my way. A man called after me for it, but being selfish I took the note in my pocket as a little reward. That man was my boss. Yes, I'm fired. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, at the job I've had for eight years, I finally got the raise I was supposed to get a year ago. One hour later I found out the store was closing and we were all out of a job in two weeks. FML
Today, I met with my boss hoping to hear about a possible raise that had been promised many months ago. He then told me that the only way I would get a raise was if I found a better paying job and took it, and that the company was in no position to offer anyone a raise. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It was stupid on your bosses part, but even more stupid on your part. Here is some advice for you: don't spend money that you don't have! But, I guess anyone who spends $1500 on a handbag wouldn't be smart enough to do that. The next time you want to throw away money like that, give it to me and I'll use it to spend on my tuition.

even a complete game system with multiple games costs way less than $1500. just by the way. I got a raise a few days back. You know what I did? I was happy. That's it. I diddn't go out and spend a huge sum of money on useless crap.

There is a big difference between buying a $1500 bag and taking your family out to dinner, etc., cuz that at least benefits others as well as her. A bag's only use is to hold more useless stuff. And before every girl on the site attacks me about the necessity of a bag... Then why don't men use them? Because they aren't necessary.

I don't understand, the reason why all the anxiety, 1500 on a bag isn't all that much considering she may have adequate salary to back it off, not everyone live on $25 a week like some of you may think, however I have to agree with some people that her boss is being an absolute tard in this one.

You just throw money around, don't you? The first thing you do when you hear you have a raise is buy some expensive and unnecessary thing? And you want a $1,500 bag... why? I bet you could find a non brand name bag that looks just as good for cheap at any old store.

You think that every girls first thought is going to be 'how dare he question the usefulness of bags?!' We are not all as stupid as the OP thanks.

sexist... usually, smart women figure out that 1500 is too much...
