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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. I went into hospital to get it put in a cast, but still went into school afterwards. I got written up for truancy because I didn't have a doctor's note. The cast was still on my arm. 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 fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
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
Today, at work, my manager fell in front of an entire lobby full of people on a wet floor. I'm the only one who burst out laughing. Turns out she has a broken arm. FML
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, my boss called me to say that I've been slow at work this week and that I will be replaced if I don't pick up the pace. That would be understandable, if I didn't have a broken ankle and pneumonia. FML
Today, at work, yet another inappropriately stacked pallet fell on me. I thought for sure that I just hit a nerve. Nope, I fractured my arm. FML
Today, I walked into the glass door of my boss’s cabin and broke my spectacles. Thank god for a backup pair, right? Wrong. I fell down the stairs and broke them too. FML
Today, I got in trouble with my boss for not showing up to work yesterday. It seems going into anaphylactic shock isn't a valid excuse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your boss's leg...

It sucked, #23? That's odd, when I broke my leg in 5 places it was actually quite pleasant, like a nice massage :)

You still went into work three hours after breaking your arm? Your boss should give you an award, not a lecture.

It sounds like OP didn't call his/her boss to let them know, otherwise s/he would have said so. Maybe that's why s/he got yelled at.

Most likely situation.

I could argue the point that maybe due to pain meds, cell phone signal failure, etc. the OP couldn't reach their boss. If I broke my arm, I'd forget most things.

I wouldn't have even gone in that day haha. You sound like a great employee. Maybe it's time for a job where they can appreciate that.

Not really, if he didn't call the boss to tell him he wasn't coming in. Maybe OP's job is important and they were really counting on him

Despite being the injured party, you are being "cast" in the role of the workplace villian?
