Today, I went to a yard sale and found a cute plush duck. I sent a pic of it to my friend with the message "Jackpot!" I guess she didn't see the pic because she called me up all excited, thinking my boyfriend of 6 years finally proposed to me. "No, I said, I just found a big duck for $1." FML

Today, I stopped at a park because a duck was following me. I assumed it wanted food, so I gave it a small piece of bread. It followed me to my car, waited beside the door, and then followed me across the parking lot. I may have accidentally adopted a duck. FML
Today, I took part in a raffle that was being organised in the small countryside village where I'm vacationing. I live in big city. I won a duck. A real, live duck. FML
Today, a client walked into my store with a duck in her hands. I had to explain to her that she couldn't bring the bird shopping with her. We got a 1-star review. FML
Today, I walked outside to see my boyfriend standing on my porch, looking confused. He explained to me that he had attached a prom proposal note to his pet rabbit, and let it inside my house to find me. We went looking for said rabbit, and found my dog halfway through eating it. FML
Today, after I'd spent two weeks planning the perfect proposal at the aquarium, right as I got down on one knee, a little kid pointed at me and yelled, "Mom! That man dropped something!" Half the people around us started looking around for whatever I'd "lost" instead of watching the proposal. FML
Today, I received the photos my friend took of me proposing to my girlfriend. I'd proposed at the place we'd first met: the local zoo. When I looked them over, I noticed there was an elephant taking a shit in the background. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house with his family. A kitten walked over to me with an engagement ring tied to its collar, along with a note that said "Marry Me?" I got super excited, only to find out that it was for his brother's girlfriend of 10 months, not me. We've been together 4 years. FML
Today, I found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry. I eagerly walked up to him knowing that it was an engagement ring, hoping that he would propose on the spot. He tossed it back to me and said, "Well you found it, I don't actually have to ask now, right?" FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a voice personalized Build-a-Bear. I thought he was going to propose to me through it, only to press the foot of the bear and hear, "We should break up" instead. FML
Today, my girlfriend texted me, telling me to come home quickly, because she had a "surprise" waiting for me. I convinced my boss to let me go home, and rushed out. Turns out the "surprise" was just that she'd bought herself a pet bunny. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ducks own all other aquatic birds. Seriously, they're not all snobby like swans, but not clingy like geese. What a jackpot indeed, OP. ;D

18, Ducks are awesome. You can get really cheap, delicious roast duck in Asian places like Cabramatta, Bankstown and Chinatown.

she typed "jackpot" in a message, and sent a pic of a stuffed duck in a message to her friend but the picture didnt go through, so her friend, seeing the word jackpot, assumed her bf had proposed

but why is that bad like it was just a misunderstanding
theghostofher 0
yeah, a misunderstanding. That's what most FMLs are.

What happened was the picture of the duck didn't show up when she sent the word "Jackpot" to her friend. Her friend immediately got excited thinking her boyfriend of SIX YEARS FINALLY purposed. But he obviously did not. So she was forced to tell her friend that: No, her boyfriend didn't purpose, but she found a giant plush duck on sale. Clearly she would say FML because she felt like an idiot. Her boyfriend didn't purpose, but she was excited about finding a plush duck. OP: FYL, indeed

How exactly does one 'purpose'?

So why hasn't your bf proposed? I'm guessing that's the FML here right, that he hasn't yet and it's been six years and the fact that your friend assumes that because you're excited he must've finally popped the question?

So what? Your friend think your boyfriend should propose. Oh no, your life is so ******. And who would ever say 'Jackpot!' when their boyfriend proposed?

A gold digger would.

#14 has got the idea. Moving onto the FML, it is not actually an FML unless your bf told your friend he was planning on proposing to you and she just wrecked it.
