Today my boss fired me via text message. I don't have a text-messaging plan. I paid twenty-five cents to get fired.

Your girlfriend dumped you, your car broke down, your boss passed you over for the big promotion. Life's not fair, but there is one surefire way to ease your pain: laughing at someone else who had an even worse day than you did.
Enter the devastatingly funny world of F My Life, where calamity is comedy. Covering every disastrous pratfall in love, work, family life, and more, F My Life offers other people's ruinous, real-life happenings to brighten your gloomiest day: someone getting dumped through a greeting card, ignored at their birthday party, or insulted by their own grandmother. Spanning everything from ironic twists of fate to downright shameful moments, F My Life's squirm-inducing stories are schadenfreude at its finest. So start reading and take solace in knowing that at least you're not that guy. There now, don't you feel better?

Today my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was twenty-five cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain.

Today I received my passport in the mail. They got my birth date wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate, which I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for sixteen years.

Today I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said, "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream."

-Hayz's Review-
I loved this book! It was so funny! Omg my sister thought I was going to crash the car because I was laughing so hard when she was reading it to me. I give this book 5 stars because no matter how bad of a day you've had someone else has had one just as bad or worse. So pick up this book read some of the stories and you'll forget about your shitty day.
