Today, I got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML

I agree, your life sucks (15280) - you totally deserved it (1143)

Well done, my deepest congratulations go out to you *YAWN*

Incidentally, YDI for getting excited about 60 fucking dollars. What are you, TWELVE? Were you planning to buy up the world's candy stocks, or go rent out a cheap whore for the evening?

Seriously?!
$60 is a help. It can get you groceries, a tank of gas.
I am grateful for the $50 my aunt gives me every Christmas. As a medical student, it means I can actually enjoy not forgoing something I wanted because I kind of need to pay for food to eat every now and then.
Besides, it'll also get you a new pair of Converse, for example. You can use it to buy a gift for someone, or put it towards something you want.
Some of us know the value of a dollar, and don't want to live with debts.

Also, read up a bit, it's called sarcasm. But at this rate it'll soon degenerate into a sissy slapfest between you and some even bigger retard whilst I munch popcorn :D

Maybe you should think of another way to express your so called sarcasm.
A way that doesn't annoy people and make them think that you're a dumb b*tch trying to be clever (which I have a feeling you probably are).

Sigh, I feel sad for you :(.

Do I tell you how to spend your time or express yourself? No? Ah!

And I'm annoying nobody; you're choosing to get all angsty over a few words. And if you think I'm trying to be at all clever, then perhaps you should turn your pity inwards? For you clearly need to tone down the assumptions and judgementalism. Just saying!

So what about your original comment was supposed to indicate sarcasm?

I mean, obviously the part about buying up candy stocks was a joke, but I don't get how the first part was supposed to be sarcastic. It actually did just look like you being an incredible bitch.

You really should be able to see where the sarcasm went, dear friend; after all, you're taking such great offence at an irreverent comment. Perhaps you don't quite understand anything but the most basic forms of sarcasm? Maybe you're just looking for a fight with random people online. Either way, you're clearly not looking to understand anything, you just feel like having a go, so yeah... If you think having a go at me affects me in the least, you're very sorely mistaken, so perhaps both our time could be better spent elsewhere, rather than having a bitchfight.

I mean...it obviously affects you since you bothered to give me a response.

If it didn't affect you, why did you see a need to do anything other than ignore me?

I don't expect anyone except a certain few people here to get the sarcasm part :P But I don't expect people to spazz out over some facetious remarks lol

And I meant it doesn't affect me as in it doesn't really do anything other than bounce right off me. I bother to respond because quite frankly it's a slow night and I'm bored. Though I figured I'd try to "enlighten" you as to my meaning in the comments. I mean enlighten in a non-patronising way. I suppose "explain" may be a better choice.

My outlandish/outrageous comments are purely non-aggressive, despite what most will probably assume. I'm actually a pretty sane person, really :P

The sarcasm was obvious to me (presumably because it's my default setting), but it was not the best example of sarcasm in text I've ever seen.

KaySL, get a life. The sarcasm in your comment doesn't make the comment any fucking less bitchier.

"Incidentally, YDI for getting excited about 60 fucking dollars. What are you, TWELVE? Were you planning to buy up the world's candy stocks, or go rent out a cheap whore for the evening?"

It was only the second part that was sarcastic, so the first part about getting excited over $60 is still pretty fucked up. $60 is a lot of money - enough to feed a starving child for a month. So stop being a fucking whore and stfu.

Evidently, you're incapable of READING, otherwise you'd have at least considered doing as recommended and just shrugging it off. But I see you're like half the people on this site, the ones ruining it by getting all self-righteous with the weakest provocation. In other words, all you want to do is randomly have a bitch at people, so I'll just refrain from responding to your equally very bitchy and very pointless comments, how's that? =)

I don't think you understood. Even if this person does know the "value of a dollar," they can't cash the check with the wrong name on it. The bank would be pretty suspicious about someone whose name on their id and check don't match.

Your sarcasm isn't funny. Stop trying to sound so smart. Are you fucking five years old? If someone insults you, you should fucking know that you should ignore them. Have a go? Are you shitting me? This is not preschool it's kinda, I don't know... FML? Yeah. So, you're the one trying to start a fight by saying that everyone wants to start a fight with you. Grow. The. Fuck. Up, KaySL thanx.

For some people, $60 can mean the difference between having groceries to eat and gas in the car for a week versus not. As a struggling student in my early 20's so broke I was wearing shoes with holes in the sole and eating Ramen every night, receiving $60 for my birthday would have been a huge blessing. I understand the OP's dismay at not being able to cash the check.

Before you correct others, adress your own spelling mistakes.

cheque: You should've capitalize the "C", it's the beginning of your sentence.

its: If you're an American and confuse the words "it's" and "its" you're an idiot. That said, it's supposed to be "it's."

Two options:

1) "Hey Auntie , you must've stuck the wrong cheque in the envelope. Whoop! Could you write me a new one?"

2) Endorse the back of the cheque with the name she put on. As long as your Aunt doesn't call the bank claiming fraud, you should be fine. ;)

Hardly the end of the world, or a FML moment.

I have a long name & family even misspell it, so I go by a nickname.
I've had family write checks out to my real name & misspell it.
I've had family write checks out to my nickname.

You have to endorse the check first with the name they wrote.
-THEN- below it you have to endorse it again with your actual name.

This lets the bank know that there was a mistake, but puts your real name on it too.

You'd be forgetting the one pesky fact that is "I'm not taking myself seriously, unlike quite a few other people around here today". When you realise that, maybe you'll be less annoyed by a few of my words, and be just plain indifferent...

LaLaJoy, the "comment" was directed at me, so I responded to it. Is it so unusual for you to see someone stand up for themselves like that? Just because I'm an easy target (oh, 2 or 3 other people with similar lack of backbone are doing it, I may as well too) doesn't mean I'm going to cower out. Good day.
