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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

did you call in? if you didn't call and just went to the er that's on you. you can't go well I'm hurt so nothing else matters. of course you will still go to the er but you have to tell people that are depending on you where you are at of you are going to be late.

How do you all know that the OP didn't call in and tell the boss? "Well, duh, they didn't! Otherwise the boss wouldn't be mad!" Or maybe the boss would be mad either way.

There are these magical devices everywhere that allow you to contact anyone in the world (including your boss) with a few magical button pushes. The best part? They can help you not get yelled at by your boss.

And can you tell me how you know they didn't call their boss? I mean, for all we know, the boss is a jerk and would yell at OP either way. Some bosses are like that. "Broken your arms?! Too bad! Get into work RIGHT NOW!" Some bosses are just simply bad.

Well, watch where you're walking next time. And did you ask how he'd like a broken arm? I mean seriously, come on people. No matter how clumsy you are, you broke your arm. What did he want you to do? Have a limp arm all day? Jeezus.

Did you call? If you gave your employer a ring and let then know and he reacted this way, he's a ****.. but... if you didn't take the time to let them know, then that's what happens.
