Glad to help out

Today, while at work, I was asked if I wanted to leave early. I said no and let my coworker go instead. Two hours later, I was punched in the face by one of my patients, with absolutely no warning or provocation. FML

Well, have you ever been giving a warning that someone is going to punch you? "Hey I'm gonna punch you!" "Hey, this one patient tends to punch people."

He's a psych worker. He let his co-worker go home early and then got punched in the face by a patient. If the OP had chosen to leave early, he co-worker would have gotten punched instead. So the OP was punished for being nice.

I fail to see how this is an FML. What happened to you was pure coincidence. It was equally plausible that you had met the woman of your dreams instead, if you were single, or the camera crew showed up for some reason and you got to be on TV.

How is a really bad coincidence not an FML? If either of the good examples you mentioned happened to someone, that would be worthy of LML (love my life)

I hear you OP, I have some violent clients at my work too. Ill get punched in the head several times with no warning for no obvious reason at all. It really sucks. Next time, go home, these offers come around for a reason

sounds like a tort battery to me... maybe you could recover some money from that patient. it doesnt matter that they were crazy

To anyone that commented that the OP deserved it, next time you're sick and call 9-1-1 for an ambulance, remember that the reason paramedics or EMTs show up is because people like the OP willingly take a thankless, dangerous job to save YOUR ass.

Very similar to how Chuck Norris communicates, except you may not die in one hit from this. If the patient starts beating the s**t out of you next time, he's may be thanking you for the great service you have provided. This is not an FML - this is an LML!

Do you work in a pediatrics ward? a mental institution? a prison infirmary? I think you left out some details.

The first half is to show that he/she didn't deserve it.

how the **** are these two even related to be an FML?! here let me make one up: today i had an enjoyable time with my friends at work then two hours later someone accidently spilled coffee on me with no warning. FML YOU SEE?! **** YOU FUCKTARD!

That kicked so much ass! LMAO!! I hate these stupid FML's... Who the hell is the retard moderating these and letting them through? I moderated some actual FML's and what gets through? Craptastic BS like this... What doesn't? Actual FML's.
