Today, I asked a coworker if she would cover for me on Easter because I want to spend it with my 3 year old daughter. She said no because she wants to spend Easter with her kids, too. She doesn't have kids. FML

Today, I was going to ask my coworker to cover for me for a few hours so I could go somewhere where they would pay me for my opinion. I had rescheduled this. Before I could ask, my coworker messaged asked if she could take the exact same time and date off to take her son to a school event. She beat me to it, again. FML

Today, my boss asked me if I could work on Valentine's Day because there was no chance of me having a date. She's right. FML

Today, my mom visited, and I left her for a few minutes while I used the bathroom. While I was stuck taking a crap, she went on one of her religious rants, telling my children that Easter was off this year because their precious "pagan" Easter Bunny had been murdered. FML

Today, my coworker has once again called in and asked me to cover her shift. She does this for every single one of her shifts, and my boss told me that if I don’t cover it, I’ll be fired. I used to have a life, but not anymore. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I'd asked my mom weeks ago if she could watch my kids, so my husband and I could go celebrate. She told me an hour before we were supposed to leave I'd have to reschedule, so she could watch my brother's kids while he goes out for fun. Gee, thanks mom. FML

Today, I had a meeting at work. My boss was going around saying that she tries to give time off to the other managers so they can spend time with their family and significant others. She looked at me and said she doesn't for me because I have no one special to spend time with. 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, I told my future MIL that we couldn't see her on Christmas because I have to work that day passing out gifts to elderly patients, but that I would call off work to travel to see her any day after. That isn't good enough, so she asked my fiance to spend Christmas without me. FML

Today, I was told at my babysitting job that I can't bring my toddler with me. My employer is my best friend. Now I have to find a babysitter for my kid if I want to babysit hers. FML

Two things, one.. atleast in my line of work and where I work you have to give atleast two weeks notice for a shift change, and more for a vacation day. If you had wanted Easter off you should have done it a long time ago. Second, who are you to assume your co worker doesn't have kids. maybe they're step kids, or maybe they've passed away and she visits them every holiday and chance she gets at their gravesite. I know this to happen quite often, from personal experience with friends who visit their son all the time and especially every holiday. Might not be what's going on, but who is to know. but, it's definitely not her fault you have to work.

LOL, if you saw half the people I've had to search you would see why I would never want to abuse that "privilege". The human body is an amazing thing and is quite spectacular of hiding things in various places. I can't begin to count how many pipes (glass) I've had females remove from their nether regions, there are a lot of nasty ass crack an meth ****** in this world. Not to mention the guys stuffing baggies up their ass. Only person I'd abuse the privilege with is my husband. ;)

Some people have little green monsters on their shoulders and/or sticks in their butts. Mr. Boners is and has always been hilarious. So you can go ahead and jump off the Let's-Rag-On-Boner-Because-He-Gets-Posted-&-We-Don't bandwagon and run to your local Walmart for some Huggies, you insignificant whiners.

Op is a bitch, in no way what so ever does having kids make you or your holidays more important than someone who hasn't got kids. why should your co-worker pick up your slack?!

Boners might not have the time to defend himself, I on the otherhand have ample time on my hands and you guys ragging on him are a bunch of twats. let's look at the guy having a go at him about changing his picture, you my friend have NO profile picture so shut the hell up. then we have some guy who bums a video game so much he's dedicated his fml profile to it, **** off mate. Then we come to the dizzy bitch who's profile picture says come to the darkside... we have cookies bahahaha oh that's ****** helarious... oh wait no it isn't, that's the kind of shit my stupid friend would get printed on a T-shirt, no ones gonna laugh everyones just gonna think wow what a ******* idiot. Rant over, **** you all.

#39, where does it even imply he wouldn't do someone a favour? Most people make plans for their days off more than a day in advance. Also, the woman might just have worked five days in a row and needed a break. Asking someone to cover you for non-emergency reasons with less than a day's notice isn't asking a favour. It's a giant "**** you for having less of a life or a less important life than I" and boners' response is not completely out of line.
