Today, I fell asleep while on the toilet at work. When I woke up, I tried to quietly sneak back to my desk, only to be caught by my boss. He immediately sent me packing and gave his "best wishes" for me in the unemployment line. FML

YDI simply because of your username.

How long could you have been sleeping in there? Must've been comfortable.

Unless your boss is a completely unreasonable asshole, I doubt this was the first time you screwed up. If you can't manage to get an appropriate amount of sleep prior to going into work, you must not have prioritized your job, and YDI.

What if you had actually needed to use the restroom that long because you were sick? I mean, it couldn't been more than an hour. That's an overreaction by your boss. What an asshole.

If you're that sick, stay home and don't get paid. Op basically just stole an hours wage. Not unreasonable of the boss at all to be upset.

OP does not cast their story in a good light by saying they were sleeping. We need details.

I can't speak for everybody here, but uh, I tend to fall asleep when, you know... I'm sleepy.

Why does everyone assume she deserved this? My girlfriend is narcoleptic and falls asleep in any situation. She is pretty difficult to wake up too. I mean, yes, it definitely could have been her fault, but who the hell wants to sleep on a toilette? She obviously did not mean to, and it seems she did value her job. What does it matter that she listens to a boy band by the way?

Idk, maybe it was an accident or medical condition, but why sneak back to her desk? Kind of raises a red flag.

I bet she snuck back out of embarrassment. Who wants to have everyone know you spent that long in the bathroom? Lol. She just worded her FML poorly, in my opinion.

If OP was narcoleptic her boss couldn't have reasonably fired her. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm assuming narcolepsy is considered a disability, and therefore OP would be protected from discrimination.

If OP had narcolepsy I'm guessing it would be a OHS issue that they would have had to tell their employer about anyway. No sympathy

What if it's not diagnosed? And I've known people who have passed out from the strain of..well..going. Hell, I've seen FMLs of people waking up after passing out because they tried so hard. And what if possibly, something was keeping her up all night? Ill loved one, annoying neighbor. I think there's more to this than the word limit allows.

Yeah! What if OP was drugged!? What if OP was reading something hilarious and bumped her head and got a concussion!? What if, what if, what if.... I honesty think the OP deserves it.

38-I totally agree with your comment...I don't think OP deserved to be fired! It doesn't seem like OP intentionally went to the bathroom to take a nap, and I believe the sneaking back to the desk wasn't out of guilt, but rather out of embarrassment or simply trying to cover her ass.

Say you had vasovagal syncope while trying to dump. Or you have irritable bowel syndrome and that's why you were in there so long lol

If this isn't your first major incident there shouldn't be a problem if you let your boss know this won't happen ever again (and mean it!) If not, have fun in the cheese line.

How is this a FML... You fall asleep at work (aka employer paying you to do your job) and expect Not ti get fired? Doesn't really matter where you fell asleep.. YDI

Hey stupid it's an FML because she lost her job! Frankly that's all that matters, not that she ACCIDENTLY fell asleep on the toilet!!!

*accidentally Okay, I misread an FML. This happens to a lot of people. Big ******* deal. Don't call me stupid. Greeting someone saying "hey, stupid!" proves your ignorance. Besides, you have no room to call anyone stupid, seeing as your grammar is pretty poor. I find it ******* HILARIOUS when people call other people stupid and they can't get simple language mechanics down-pat.

#59, the OP's lesbian partner could own a strap-on. I don't mean to come to #53's aid, because I can't work out his name. I'm thinking it's only possible if you suspend the law of gravity, or do it on the space station.

True, but somehow I have serious doubts about OP having an anal loving lesbian lover.

#79, I'd tend to agree with you, but I'm having a hard time focusing on that issue. I'm just so freaked out about the double-blumpkin, How can that physically be possible?

Well if my understanding of such a thing is correct then maybe two girls and they take turns? But, I could way off base in my understanding of what a blumpkin is in the first place. If it is, disregard my statement.
