Transportation: Today, out of the goodness of my heart, I went to work to help...

Today, out of the goodness of my heart, I went to work to help out a co-worker even though my last day was last week. I parked in a garage a block away for 2 hours. I paid $20 to park, didn't get paid, am spending $400 to get my back window replaced, and I have to buy a new iPod. FML

Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML

Today, I searched for free parking near my work for 30 minutes, trying to avoid paying $12 at a pay lot. I scored a spot, but 1 mile away from the office. I trekked through rain, cold, and got to work late. It was a long hard day, crawled back to my car, and had a $30 ticket on my windshield. FML

Great organization

Today, while leaving late for work, I walked out to my car only to find the back window broken. Worst part was, I still had to go to work because no one who could cover me showed up. FML

Today, I decided to cover a coworker's closing shift because she felt sick. My boss even gave me a $10 gift card for doing it. I felt good about it, until I walked outside and found that my car had been stolen. FML

Today, I gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML

Today, I walked ten miles to pick up my car from the towing station. Turns out there was enough change for the parking meter in the glovebox after all. FML

Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML

Today, I parked my car in a garage that cost $13 for every 10 minutes past 10 o'clock. When I came back to the garage at 10, I had forgotten where I parked it and spent an hour looking for it. I paid $78 to lose my car. FML

Today, I finally got my paycheck from working at my minimum wage job for the last three months. I was delighted when I saw it was worth $846. On my way to cash it, I destroyed my car's suspension. It's going to cost almost $800 to fix. FML

When clampers attack!

By frustrated - 04/09/2019 06:00 - Australia

Today, despite being parked in my work's car park, my car got clamped. It cost me $150 to get the clamp removed and all I got was "bad luck" from my boss and the clamper. FML

Yeah, that sucks. I hate how people are so dishonest. It really annoys me when people steal stuff. (I assume your ipod was stolen from your car...)

Only cost me $140 to fix my back window. You need to find another glass place. Even if I didn't get the deal it only would've been $165.

ok FYL but you should understand that it doesn't really have anything to do with you going back to work to help an ex coworker. it could haven happened anywhere. So don't feel bad for being a nice person. Good karma will follow you. On the other hand, I think you'll be more careful from now on not to leave any valuable thing visible inside your car.

if he did have insurance, the insurance would cost more than the damage.

Hopefully, your friend will split it with you -- Or even buy you a new IPod as a thanks for helping out. Is it a good friend? Remember -- A friend will help you to move. A GOOD friend will help you to move a body.
