Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the two weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML
Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML
Today, I caught my boyfriend cheating right after I maxed out my credit card buying him everything on his Christmas list. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML
Today, I turned on my boyfriend's computer and saw pictures of all of my credit cards, front and back, and several of my parent's credit cards. I looked in his e-mail and found receipts for items which had been billed to me and delivered to him, including golf clubs and my birthday gift. FML
Today, I found out my husband has racked up $3000 on our credit cards, and ruined my credit score. When confronted, all he had to say was, "Well you didn't tell me when you bought that ten-dollar t-shirt, so I guess we're even." FML
Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over with a broken engraved bracelet that I paid 50 dollars for. I was angry but when I stated, "I'm going to call them and get a new one!" my boyfriend said back to me, "No it's okay, I didn't really like it anyways." It was for our two year anniversary. FML
Today, I gave my friend a $5 VR set that I purchased from the dollar store for Christmas. I received a $60 gift card. Later, I realized I left the receipt in the package. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow. What a cheapo. But how could you get an armful of clothes for 50$? Do you shop at Goodwill?

Haha, That's awesome. It's not the end of the world, but it's probably the end of a boyfriend. Guys are cheap and women are too expensive.

$50 an arm fully of clothes?!? do big people clothes come cheap?

A gift card can be used to reduce the total price. In this case, the total would be $50 off and she would only have to pay the remaining amount. $50 off is better than $5 off. The FML doesn't really say if the card was going to pay for all of the clothes. But that's not the main point of the FML...

Never heard of sales? Hell, yesterday I got a dress, PJ set and a scarf for only $20. Yay for Boxing Day.

"Arm full" isn't specific. Maybe she grabbed two shirts for $45 (buy one get one half off graphic tees deal at Express), a sale shirt for $10, and to her those three things constitute an arm full. Then she'd only owe $5 for three shirts...not a bad deal!

Besides, people lie - it's human nature. So let's take her "arm full" with a grain of salt. I highly doubt she strolled up to a counter holding like 10 shirts and some jeans and a skirt and expected the gift card to cover it. This seems slightly exaggerated. Also, I've worked retail. Next time have them scan the card before you shop (only takes 10 seconds) or phone in to get the balance. I did that this morning.

Express clothes are cheap-looking. You are probably one of those trashy gals who tries to squeeze their fupa into a size 10, when you should be wearing a size 16.

I have several preferences...for jeans I like Paper Cloth and Denim or True Religion, for sweaters I like Chanel, since they are one of the few designers that don't make my petite frame look bulky. I get my button down shirts handmade in SF from a tailor, Jimmy Choo boots, and La Perla underpinnings, and of course, Hermes has wonderful bags. One of the nice things about being good-looking is having people buy you lots of gifts. I love that the guys I date (no sex of course, I'm saving myself for Mr. right :) like buying me gifts because they think someone pretty deserves pretty things.

Shut up! No one cares about your preppy, overstuffed posts! This is completely unrelated to the fml in question.

not really, the person above me asked what I wear, and I answered. Oh, and Tiffany and Co. makes lovely earrings and bracelets, although for rings Cartier is really the way to go.

dang i forgot the flea market was having a sale i needed some new used clothes for 50 dollars

i agree with #56, 51 you are a stuck up bitch no matter what you look like, you probably flirt with guys and convienintly leave out any conversation about your abstinence plan, guys only buy expensive things for girls as a offering of love, they expect the relationship to be serious and to go further if you accept expensive things from them, good looking girls dont deserve expensive stuff for free, you need to commit yourself to a man to deserve the work/effort he does to get you nice things

you get a C for effort, a D for creativity, and a D- for spelling (I'm feeling generous). Plenty of guys buy me things because, and to quote a few of them, "A pretty girl should have pretty things". I'm just lucky, I guess. :)

LOL, you're ******* kidding me right? I'm quite sure the_dod was asking rhetorically when asking what you wear, so one can only conclude that you are actually trying to impress FML'ers with your looks and knowledge of fashion? Yea, let's see how far that gets you here little otter. In case you didn't notice, this isn't eHarmony or a fashion mag looking for an intern. So please, save your pseudo ego for an audience that gives two *****.

there are people who are pretty enough to receive offers from men for expensive things, and then there are people who are self-centered, conceited and bitchy enough to constantly accept the offer. nice job, your life revolves around what you wear.

I have to say this. I shop at Burlington Coat factory for some items okay. I literally had an arm full plus a hand. I had two pairs of jeans, 1 shirt, a necklace and a pair of shoes for $60. Plus you figure in coupons. Not every female shops high end. To the FML, that sucks, im sorry this guy was a cheap ass. Kick him to the curb if you think that is the right thing to do.

One pair of my clothes are $150 where the hell do you get MULTIPLE pairs for only 50. Damn man.

That's probably just your suits or Lacoste shoes or something.

Unaware person is unaware. Good will is the only place to shop. Well maybe not for clothes, but if you want to make some cash it's a good place to shop.

probably where lady gaga got her meat bathing suit...
marc_with_a_c 3
well at least it's only 45 dollars difference, if you really planned on buying an armful of clothes, the bill would come up way higher than that.. not like he wrote 500 instead, now THAT would have been bad.. well I hope you hit him for it anyway ;p

She shouldn't go to that much expense. I'm thinking maybe draw a face on his hand, instead.

This was my first thought. Hopefully the boyfriend isn't that much of a loser...

This is most likely what happened. At my store, we scan the gift cards and then manually type in the amount. It's easy to make a mistake, especially during the rush of Christmas season.
