Today, I had to sell over $400 worth of china at a flea market. I barely got paid enough to refill my gas tank. FML

Today, my mom sold the car I've been working on for the last few years for 100 dollars. To buy gas for her car. FML

Today, I went to the local used books store to sell all my college textbooks. I spent several hundred dollars on them in total. I ended up walking out of the shop a pathetic $3.50 richer. FML

Today, I had to empty out my coin jar to pay for gas. Trying to be considerate, I only brought quarters, but the cashier refused to take it because they didn't want to count out my $10. I don't know how I'll get to work today. FML

Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML

Today, I'm so poor that I've been scrounging around my house all day trying to find quarters and dimes so that I can buy myself a cup of coffee tomorrow. FML

Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML

Today, after selling things on eBay all week to afford a nice weekend with my husband and kids, my car died. Now we have to spend the money on a battery. FML

Today, I looked at the revenue from my Etsy shop. After hours and hours of hard work, I was ecstatic to find that I made about $560 so far. That is, until I remembered that it all went to my mom's bank account and I paid all the fees out of my own pocket. And yes, she won't give it back. FML

Idk whenever I get such a shit deal on things I usually keep it anyway. like I was going to sell my rockband 2 at gamestop with instruments and all and they would only give me $7 for it all. I gave them the finger and walked off. well then again it is gamestop where they gave you shit deals for every trade in.

are you comparing 400$ China to a used video game?

Doesn't Rock Band 2 only sell for like 20 dollars now anyway? How much did you even expect to recieve?

It costs me over sixty dollars to fill my car. Sounds like you got a reasonable hourly wage for doing it.

I've never understanded the point of chinas.. I mean, you buy plates, vases, etc. to NOT use them?

Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter. birthdays, anniversaries. Many special reasons to put the plastics away and pull out the fine China.

I own fine China and used it as decorations. (:

"understanded"? Would it not be "understood"?

#59: You are absolutely correct. "Understood" is the correct way to say/spell it.

Anyone else think this FML sounds like a repeat?

well it is a flea market people go there so they don't have to pay a lot of money for things like that.
rosenkrieger223 24
Yeah, its more of a large yard sale than a store. The biggest difference is that one allows haggling prices down.

Chime is worth at least 10,000, 000 times that. Oh wait..... Not the country?

You either have a really crappy car or really crappy china...

It's a gas-tank, doesn't matter what the car's like...
rosenkrieger223 24
It does if the vehicle has a large tank, gets shitty gas mileage, or possibly even both.

I'd say you've done well but I guess I wouldn't be very truthful now would I?

should have sold it to an antique store, if it was really $400 worth of china (matching china) they would have taken it. Hell even a decent thrift store would have given you much more money. OR you sold it on craiglist or ebay you would have made way more money and spent less time/effort and no gas doing it. People go to flea markets to be cheap, haggle and generally pay less for times than they are worth.
