Today, my cute coworker begged me to cover his shift tomorrow, and told me that he wanted to take me to dinner to make up for it. I was very excited because I've been crushing on him for a long time. I later overheard him tell his friend that he didn't plan on showing up for our dinner. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the coworker I've had a crush on for the past few months asked me if I was busy Friday night. I was so excited, I immediately replied, "I thought you'd never ask!" He gave me a funny look and said, "Good, because I need you to take my shift." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML
Today, the girl I like asked me to take over her shift at the place we both work at. Being nice, I readily took over. Later, I found out she went on a date with my best friend. He knows I like her. FML
Today, my boyfriend was seated in my section at work. As he sees me his face drops... he's on a date. He had forgotten I work there. I had to serve him and his date, and they didn't leave a tip. FML
Today, the cute coworker who's been flirting with me drove me home. While I was contemplating asking him to kiss me, he politely told me to, "Please get out, I promised my girlfriend I'd pick her up." FML
Today, I covered for my friend at work because he said he was having car troubles and was going to be late. Two hours into the shift, I got a call from my roommate asking why my girlfriend had moved out. Turns out, I'd covered my friend's shift so he could help my girlfriend move out behind my back. FML
Today, I sent a heartfelt text to my crush confessing my feelings. I was over the moon when I saw they were typing a response. Turns out they were just asking if I could cover their shift at work. Rejected and now on the night shift. FML
Today, I surprised my boyfriend with lunch at work. He surprised me too, when I caught him making out with one of his coworkers. FML
Today, as I was leaving the office, I heard my very cute coworker behind me say "Hey gorgeous, where are you off to?" I turned around with a smile and said "About to hit up happy hour." He was on the phone with his wife. I'm calling in sick tomorrow. FML
Today, due to a misunderstanding, I unintentionally agreed to have a dinner date with a co-worker. He's ten years older than me. Not only do I have to find a way to reject him, but I have to work with him on weekends. The worst part is, he's the first guy to ask me out in ages. FML

You've been had! Tell the same coworker, within earshot of your crush, that you don't plan on showing up for his shift.

Here's what you do. Call the guy 5 mins before the dinner. Say you can't show and make up an excuse. Go out, party with friends. Take photos (with time stamps), post them on FB and make sure he see's them. And then bitch about him to a common friend/co-worker about how he's lame and that you would never want to see him outside of work. You WIN.

Nice one. You must have been thru a lot to think of that. Lol.

Obviously some people don't have jobs, or else they'd know that not showing up is deadly. More than likely a manager was informed of the switch. And if she didn't show up, their employment could call the guy and he could say she was supposed to cover... in which both of them get in trouble. OP, just do it this once, and make the cash. Never cover his shift again, and warn co-workers that he doesn't keep his end of the bargain when he asks others to cover for him.

You should wait till the last minute and say you can't cover his shift because you've got a hot date and that he better make reservations for just himself. Or shit on his desk. Either way its a win.

He probably learned that trick from a woman. I have seen way too many women do exactly the same thing.

#55 Oh, EvilDave. You and your usual woman-hating antics. When will you learn that not all women are treasonous snakes? The same goes for men. Not all women are bitches, and not all men are jackasses. Being a jerk isn't restricted to just one gender or the other. Being mean has no gender limits...

Tell him that you went to dinner and you're sorry he couldn't be there, but you were the 10000th customer and won free dinner for a year or a TV or something.
