Today, my boss declared total bankruptcy of the company and I lost my job. The good news is my coworkers and I all received McDonald's 10%-off coupons. They expired in 2003. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss announced that instead of holiday bonuses being on the cards, the company is going under and we'll all be out of a job next year. FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, I was just a few days away from starting the training for my promotion to management, which involved a healthy pay raise and full time benefits. Today, news came down that the company is filing for bankruptcy. FML
Today, at work, I was fired from my job for being too "forward" to my boss. All I did was get him coffee and a biscuit from McDonald's to celebrate his 15-year anniversary working there. 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, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and my coworkers gave me a $75 gift card to a restaurant chain near my house. Later in the evening, I found out the chain of restaurants abruptly closed. All of them. FML
Today, my company is doing so bad that I had to take down my symbolic first dollar so that I could buy a roll of crackers for dinner. FML
Today, I was fired from my job over a coupon a coworker offered me for bonus reward points. Apparently, it wasn't one I was entitled to. I never even looked at the coupon and assumed it was fine since they offered it to me. FML
Today, my boss told me they were letting me go because they "could no longer afford to pay me." Never mind the catered lunch they had the day before, which cost more than a week's worth of my salary. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Solution? Create a time travel machine, go back in time and save your company. Keep the coupons and use them in 2003, go back to now and be rich. You're welcome!

me tok but at least those antique coupons could be worth a fortune

If old coupons are worth a fortune, then my Mother should be the richest person in the world.

In my experience, if you can cut out the expiration date with scissors and go to a McDonalds with less customer traffic than usual, it should work

42- No because they have to scan it. Nice try though.

63, McDonald's doesn't scan coupons. they just have a percent discount button, or they promo it off. Then the keep they coupon in the drawer to be tracked, or they shred it. no scanning. nice try though. ;)

Oh no I was going to write that! Oh well, it's a great idea, do this OP!
Zimmington 21
If OP is going to create a time travel machine. Why not just go further back invest in Apple & never have to work another day in their life?

Sorry about the job, OP. Maybe if you can travel back in time you could go for ice cream at McD's.. Edit: #5 beat me to the time travel bit
