Today, my coworker and I announced that we are spending our holidays together, because we both have kids. My boss then announced that he's coming with us. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my 2 week Christmas vacation my boss was talking about wasn't for this year, but 2010. I spent the day with my husband cancelling flights to Florida, and explaning to my 8 year old why we were not going to Disney World. FML
Today, I got back from a holiday to find that my coworkers had prepared a “Welcome Back!” surprise. I pretended to be excited, only for them to awkwardly whisper that it was intended for another coworker, who was on her way back from maternity leave the same morning. FML
Today, my coworker and I agreed to come clean and tell our fellow employees that we have been secretly dating for a while. Before we could, I received a promotion. I'm now his boss. FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Today, I was told I would also be covering some of my boss's shifts next week. She gets to go on a vacation to Europe with the bonus we earned her last year. That's why she was tightening our deadlines to the point where some of the employees had to hire babysitters for their children so we could stay at work. FML
Today, my boss joined me on my vacation, to "make sure I actually went". FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
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, I swapped a shift so I didn't have to work on New Year's Eve. An hour later, I realized I didn't have anyone to spend it with. I swapped it back. I'll be ringing in the New Year with my boss. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'll bring the movies to play in the background of all the pictures that are taken. They can also be used as a time tool for the police when they try to identify what happened after we all die from an axe in the head.

Jennifer aniston is now a crack ***** psycho that gives herself promotions while stripping down? I'd definitely watch that.

Maybe tell him the wrong date and time?
PresidentNorth 16
Can you change the date for Christmas like that to?
GoldFishPony 21
How badly do you want to get fired?
turdoblast 21
I'm sure you have to get your leave signed off by your boss though don't you?
dyehardxen 19
It would have to be place seeing as how their boss already knows the times because he had to approve it..
buckstop1 37
Yep... that may be a bit akward.

You gotta bite the bullet on this one

More like the boss might be biting the bullet for this one...

Christmas is often sad and lonely for some people. Make the best of it by knowing someone won't be alone on such a special day.
letmehavemytea 21
When someone invites themselves to your vacation, even knowing that it might make things awkward (as he should know, he's their boss), the op doesn't actually have to be okay with it?? If someone told me that they're inviting themselves to a vacation with me and my family I'd definitely be creeped out and tell them no.
Im2Shy 16
It said spending their holidays together not going on holiday together, so with it being November and the Christmas season, I assumed that they meant The Holidays and not a trip.
letmehavemytea 21
That's still creepy. People should learn not to invite themselves to hang out with people that would be obviously awkward about it. Most people wouldn't want to spend the holidays with their boss. Most people actually use the holidays to get away from work and spend time with family and friends. Most people don't like when other people invite themselves into their social lives. It's common decency.
XxDanno316xX 27
Common guys and gals, we should all go. I'll bring the candy cane hot chocolate.
magickitten 26
Only common guys and gals? So unfair on everyone else!!
XxDanno316xX 27
Shucks. I guess we can invite the op also.

My co-worker and I* *waits for downvotes*
Tthug 34
You'd probably get less down votes of you don't ask for them. Everyone here loves being a grammar nazi.
Dgarcia2014 13
Well, since you mentioned it, I might as well say it. if*
hoopgrug 5
Also, it's "fewer votes", not "less votes".
Tthug 34
Hahaha. I didn't actually realize that. Oh well. Life goes on. Gotta love irony. And yes, hooprug is right whoever down voted him. Unlike the autocorrect/spelling mistake, fewer/less is actually a grammar mistake.
Flaming_Pandas 15
Lol apparently they added my grammar correction to the FML, so my comment above doesn't really make sense anymore. The feeling of accomplishment is worth it, though.

Enjoy the misery
PSYqualiac 17
I am in misery, there ain't nobody who can comfort me. Why won't you answer me? The silence is slowly killing me!
