Today, I got rear-ended while on my way to work. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't pregnant, suffering from a horrible UTI, and running a fever. My boss called in sick, so now I'm stuck running the office alone. With whiplash. FML

Today, I didn't feel like going to work, so I called in sick. Five hours later while out shopping, I got hit by a car at a crosswalk. Now I'm laid-up in the local hospital, really wishing I was with the guys at work. FML

Today, I got into a bad car accident, where I got severe whiplash, swollen knees, and cuts everywhere. I called my boss to let him know I wouldn't be able to make it in and he fired me for being 'not dependable'. FML

Today, I got in a car accident on the way to work. I received an abusive phone call from my boss saying he shouldn't have to cover my lazy ass. I was driving to cover his shift because he was too drunk to show up to work. FML

Today, I was feeling really sick at work. I messaged my boss whether his girlfriend, who also works there, could cover me. He then came down, shouting at me that whatever illness I have, I've also passed on to his girlfriend. I'm pregnant. FML

Asshat

Today, I woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. As my boss is an asshat who hates allowing sick leave, I thought I could power through it, but halfway through my workday I sneezed so hard that I threw my back out. I had to go home early and now I can't move without pain. FML

Today, as I was pulling into work at 15 weeks pregnant, I projectile vomit all over myself and my vehicle. I had an emotional breakdown as I went back home, and called my boss to let him know I would not be in that day. I am now looking for a new job. FML

Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML

But… the economy!

Today, I found out that my boss was actually legally obligated to send me to the hospital after I was hit on the head while working. I had to finish the entire work day while heavily concussed, and by the time I got to the ER I had lost complete feeling in my right side. They asked me to come in the day after. FML

Not a morning person

Today, I was forced to come in to work early in the morning. For me, that means I will have a pounding migraine, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least the next two weeks. FML

Banger birthday

By WhoDoYouLove6208 - 11/10/2009 05:09 - United States

Today, it was my 19th birthday. My boss let me out early to celebrate. On my way home I was hit by a man doing 65 in a 40mph stretch of road. My car was completely destroyed. I spent the rest of my birthday sitting in the ER being treated for a pinched shoulder nerve and whiplash. FML

If you had gotten rear-ended in the first place you probably wouldn't be pregnant.

you could take this two ways, depending on whether she had a urinary tract infection or was under the imfluence

That's a DUI dingbat. A UTI is definitely a urinary tract infection. You fail.

So what I got rear ended by santa on my way home from a chemo appt. And I just laughed it off even though he didn't have insurance. You should have been on the way to the DR if you were that sick and knocked up anyway.

Ah, the old- I'm the boss and I don't feel good so I'm going to call my pregnant employee to come work for me and make sure that she gets rear ended on the way there just to make her day a little more interesting- trick. Classic.

If you're in a car accident while pregnant, you should have been going to the hospital, not work. I'd think you'd want to make sure your baby is alright, wouldn't you, OP?

Why didn't you call in sick? If you're pregnant and you have whiplash, that can't be good for the baby. FYL

"U r stupid then, if it was just u that's one thing but being pregnant , your an add" umm what, she's an add? Dude it's not her fault, you just can't say no to bosses in this economy. Even if some bosses, like the op's boss, leave work for a pregnant lady, it's still a douche thing to do.
