Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML

Sucks more for the OP, they're the ones that have to deal with it. The old man's dead, he has nothing to worry about anymore. I'm sure he lived a full life, full of its own FML moments.

Today, I really wanted to spend a night of passion with my lover, so I'd arranged to meet him in a very classy hotel, gave him the room number, and waited for him in a super-sexy outfit.
