Work: Today, I was called up about a job I'd recently applied for....

Today, I was called up about a job I'd recently applied for. I was overly excited to tell them I'd be there on Monday. Then I remembered I canceled my car insurance due to financial difficulties. I have no way of getting there. FML

Today, I got a call from a job I had applied for. Everything went great until I realized I had applied to the wrong location, across town. I'm so broke, I went to the interview anyway. It will cost me more to pay for the gas to drive there to work, than what I will actually make. FML

Cancel culture

Today, I found out that my insurance canceled my contract, claiming I hadn't paid, even though I had. I only discovered this because I backed into a car. FML

Baby you can drive my uninsured car

Today, a week after I lost my job, my car was written off by someone rear-ending me, and both parties weren't insured. I tried to look for a new job, but all of them require that you have a vehicle. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I went to my insurance company to deal with some paperwork. One of their employees backed into my car before I made it into the building. FML

Today, I had my very first interview and pretty much got hired right away. Then I found out I have to drive 2 hours away for training. I don't have a car, license, or money. FML

Today, I got a callback for a job, asking for an interview. I got very excited but also anxious because it's my first job after graduating from uni. While I was on call scheduling the interview, I realised I'd accidentally applied to the Royal Post to be a mailman. Now I have to call again and explain. FML

Spiralling out of control

By Anonymous - 18/12/2023 03:00 - United States - Swartz Creek

Today, I was told a job offer that would've changed my life had been taken back, due to one part in the onboarding process. I’ve already sold my car, ended the lease to my apartment, and purchased a non refundable plane ticket. With little to no money and the Christmas break coming soon, I feel like I’m going to die with no backup plan. FML

Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML

This is a complete waste of an FML and you are a waste of a spot in the human gene pool. Those that cannot find a job - that's an FML.

if you really want the job, you will find a way there. you can get a ride from a neighbor or something.

I can think of at least 5 different ways to get there. Your life is not ******; you deserve nothing. Get your ass to work.

Here's a game I used to play during downtime with my buds in school. First person says a word. In this case it was "taxi". Next person adds a word. Then the person after that adds a word. And so on. The point is to try to make the most interesting story possible (can be funny, suspenseful, actiony, whatever). I'll start. Crashed.

So what you're saying is that you can't afford car insurance so you can't drive? And you fail to realize that when you get your first paycheck you'll pay that bill? And you can ride the bus till your paycheck? Or take a taxi? Or pay a neighbor? Or get a ride from a friend? Or bike? Or if not too far... walk? Stop eating house paint, OP.
