Today, I had to pay a $150 late fee because my landlord didn't receive the rent check. My boyfriend had addressed the envelope to himself and put the landlord's as the return address. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I learned that my building never received my rent check. Now not only do I have to pay a $40 late fee, but also a $40 fee to stop the payment of the check that went god knows where. FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, my landlord came and beat on my door demanding the rent check. I just got home from a trip and my wife was supposed to pay it while I was away. What happened to the money? Black Friday. FML
Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML
Today, I transferred rent to my landlord and realized I’d sent it to the wrong “Alex” in my contacts. My bank said the payment was already completed and they couldn’t reverse it without the other person’s permission. I had to message a guy I went on one awkward date with two years ago asking him to please send my rent money back. FML
Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML
Today, I found out, through Facebook, that my landlord hadn't been paying the mortgage on the house I'm renting from him. It's going into foreclosure. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Next time send the check less than a day before it's due?

Ever heard of Internet banking? Much safer and quicker that posting a cheque!

PsychoticAsylum, I'm gonna use that piece of advice every time I mail a letter for the rest of my life now :) . Unfortunately that probably means that I'll use that piece of advice 8 times. I've done what OP's boyfriend has done too. Shit, just 2 months ago I had to mail a letter. I didn't know what to do, and I didn't have an envelope from one of those mass mailed bank offers to use as a reference (my original idea), so I had to ask my mom for help. She wasn't sure either, so we ended up calling a 50 year old woman who told us. My mom did it for me because she was on the phone with her at the time. Since my mom mailed it, I still didn't know how to mail a letter because I use email all the time on the internet. In one of the most perfect examples of irony I've ever encountered in my life, I used the internet, which is the reason why I don't know how to use snail mail, to look up "how to mail a letter" on ehow... a website on the internet.

21- i read your personal info.. biggest load of bs.. one give away was the fact that you got the name of your supposed 8 million dollar car wrong. It's a Bugatti Veyron, not a Veyron Buggati. That's like me saying a drive a Camaro Chevrolet

Considering we're in the age of technology, it's not that surprising a lot of the Gen Y'ers wouldn't know how to address an envelope. When I was a kid, it was rotary phones nobody could figure out.

Please someone tell me that it's not normal to not know how to post a letter or simply write an address on an envelope when you are more than 10...

It's not normal. For ****'s sake, even if someone has never sent a letter surely they've SEEN mail before.
