Today, I bought a CD off a man who always plays Spanish guitar in the subway. When I got to work and tried playing the CD, it was blank. I paid $15 for a blank CD. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, a co-worker gave me a couple of CDs he said he wanted me to listen to. I got excited, thinking that they were playlists he'd made for me. They were self-help tracks. FML
Today, I arrived at work to find an email from the manager whom I had bought concert tickets from the night before. He said he had actually sold those tickets to someone else. He still expects to be paid. 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 spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML
Today, I finally released my first music album. I dropped out of college to pay for it after my friends who liked my music urged me to. They keep telling me how much they love the CD. I've only sold one copy. Turns out they put it on a sharing site so only one of them would have to buy it. FML
Today, I was playing guitar on the sidewalk and had my guitar case open for tips. A man came up with a folded piece of green paper, smiled and walked away. After I was finished, I looked at my tips. I unfolded the paper, it was a note that said "You suck!" FML
Today, at work, I put my earphones in to listen to some music. An hour later, I realised I never pressed play. FML
Today, my mate came over wanting me to listen to a new music CD he got. It was by some unknown band, and at the end he asked me what I thought, and I said it was ok but the lead singer couldn't sing even if his life depended on it. Turns out my mate's the lead singer, and it was his own band. FML
Today, I met my favourite singer, but when she signed my CD, the marker was out of ink. By the time I realised there was no signature, she was already gone. FML
Today, I had an old man yell in my face because the boxes in our store only had Spanish words on them. I spent 15 minutes apologizing and trying to explain that the English was on the back side. He stormed out before I could even show him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's actually smart though; poor musicians labelling blank CDs as real ones. Never thought of that. I'll hold on to that when I visit my next metropolitan area.

Go back and find him and when you do, throw the cd at his face

OK so here's the update: I've been carrying around the CD with me all week in hopes of finding him in the subway again. Finally, today, I saw him and I went up to him with the CD and said "hey! I bought this from you last week and it's blank!" He's very very nice and gave me another one. I took it out and looked at the back and told him it didn't look written to either. He insisted that "the company was good." He doesn't speak English very well. I think he meant that the whoever produced the album for him is a good person....anyway the new CD is also blank but he's not doing it on purpose! Whoever recorded him and made the CD's for him screwed up the burning. So...I guess I'll tell him again next time...

I know the guy you are speaking of. I always found him to be extremely nice. He used to be on either the orange 6th Ave or the green Union Square every morning when I lived in NY; can't remember which. Please do help him!
