Today, I lost my job. Why? Because I'm taking care of my dying mother. My boss actually said, "Well, if she dies today, we can hold your job." FML

Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML

Today, I busted my ass to help this old lady move her stuff because she was going to a nursing home. I was told I would get paid. When I finished four hours later the lady took me to a room and told me to pick out anything in her little goody bag. I got a race car as payment. FML

Today, I was working when my boss left briefly, leaving me with her elderly, senile mother. Not only did I have to chase her when she ran after a stranger on the road, I turned my back for 5 seconds to do my actual job and she walked off. When my boss returned, I had to tell her I lost her mother. FML

Today, our cleaning lady's son came to our house claiming that his mother had died of a heart attack. We gave him her entire month's salary as well as some extra money. A few hours later, our cleaning lady turned up for work. Turns out she doesn't have a son. FML

It's all too much
Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML

Today, I asked my mother to pay back the $50 she owes me. Rather than paying me back, she raced off to "work". She's been unemployed for 3 years. FML

Well done for defending yourself, OP. These people are making huge assumptions. Fact of the matter is, you did a job and didn't get paid. That's an FML. Double FML if she was racist and called you names, just for strangers to judge you for caring about being paid to endure said name-calling!

i swear i lose IQ points reading fml comments... he was doing a job and didnt get paid for it irreguardless of why his pay was not recieved does not matter. He is not implying that hes angry about it but rather expressing the situation he was in. Dont say your going to kick his ass all you keyboard warriors, stop being retarded and make sure you understand the OP before you post shit...

I completely agree. Everyone's bashing the OP for being a selfish jerk, but it's perfectly reasonable to expect to get paid. I imagine taking care of an elderly person isn't the easiest job. Thumbs up for having common sense.

You made her life easier. You were paid with the satisfaction of being a good person to an elder.
