Today, I had organised to go for an all day fishing trip, but had forgotten to book a day off. I called my boss and told him that I had to stay with my mum in hospital after a car crash that she had last night. He called me a liar and fired me. Turns out my mum is having an affair with my boss. FML

Today, I was making the daily commute to work when suddenly my mother calls me, crying that there's been a death in the family, then abruptly hangs up. I speed home, to find my mother holding the tiny corpse of a fish that she got 2 weeks ago. I got fired for being late to work. FML

Today, my sister called me at work and told me our elderly mom had passed away. I dropped everything and rushed home, to find out she was fine, and that my sister was just pranking me. When I explained this to my boss, he accused me of lying to get out of work, and I was fired. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, after getting fired, I went home only to find my boss sitting my living room. Apparently, he and my mom had been dating for months and he felt compelled to let me go because it was a "conflict of interest". FML

Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Are your parents still married? Or is your mom just sleeping with your boss? If your dad is in the picture, I'd have a very long discussion with your mother. Not to get the job back, because I'd refuse to work for a man willing to break up a family, but to tell her just how ****** that is... Now if your dad is out of the picture, that's called sleeping with... Also use sick days dude.

YDI for lying, how in the world do you forget to get the day off? and I guess FML cause you got fired. And your mom sleeps around. I guess though, if she's your boss's fuckbuddy, get her to get your job back!

At this point, your mom should threaten to out your boss to his wife about the affair unles he re-hires you, and gives you a promotion and large raise.
