Today, I hurried into the bank to cash in the $5,000 check my grandparents had given me for college money. I found out that instead of my name, they wrote 'our sweet iddle pumpkinbutt'. I couldn't make eye contact with anyone after. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was finally paid back by a friend who wrote a check out. Not really looking at it, I went to the bank to deposit it. As I handed it to the teller, I noticed that he had written "sex" in the "for" memo. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML
Today, my grandparents took me out for dinner for my birthday. After singing, "Happy birthday dear…" they froze. I had to say my own name because they'd forgotten it. FML
Today, I had to cancel my plans to go see my grandma, because I wasn't feeling too well. I called her to apologize, but she had trouble remembering who I was. When I told her my name, she said "Oh, the FAT one." Yes grandma, the fat one. FML
Today, I inherited several buttloads of money from my grandmother, including property, and by gosh did so many relatives appear from the woodwork to remind me of money granny owed them, or how they just needed an investment to kickstart their business venture. The whole lot of them can screw off. FML
Today, I visited my grandparents' house. While getting a drink from the fridge, I noticed the Christmas card my family sent them had my face scratched out. When I confronted them about it, they said it was the cat. They don't have a cat. FML
Today, my grandpa took the family out for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turned around without thinking and give him a big hug, and said, "Thanks for dinner Grandpa." It wasn't my grandpa. FML
Today, I attended the reading of my grandfather's last will and testament. My parents, as well as my brothers and sister, all inherited a nice sum of money. I got 69 cents, because, "young Jack always was an immature little shit." FML
Today, I found out my late grandfather left me a significant amount of money in his will. I thought it was weird because he always acted like he hated me. When I got the envelope, there was $500,000 inside, all in Monopoly money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

a bank won't cash a check to someone if it's not in their name! (unless it's signed over to them) so the op didn't get the 5000 hence the fml

Yeah, it really sucks when someone gives me five grand too.

Yes, **** your life. You're grandparents gave you 5 grand free. You should kill yourself you life is so bad. I think you're missing the big picture here, who cares what they wrote, you got 5 ******* thousand for ******* free.

Who cares? The OP cares because he can't get the money with that name on it. I don't understand why SO many people on this post don't get this.

#82/blastvortex has a good point. This story just doesn't sound real. Why would the grandpartents do that? Surely the must at least somewhat understand banking... o_O' But anyways, cheer up pumpkinbutt! I'm sure they'll write you up a new one! :D Also, you totally should have tried insisting that that was your name and watch their reactions! :D

See the *idle* part? It implies “get a job”. The grandparents were having a little fun at the expense of their sweet idle pumpkinbutt.

You couldn't put the check in either. That's not your legal name. So either you're lying and this story is made up, or...?

I don't understand why everyone takes the phrase FML so seriously. The OP wanted to share an embarrassing story, and it was mildly amusing even if it wasn't all that tragic. I'm not aware of any rule that says a story has to inspire suicide-inducing emotional pain for it to qualify as an FML. Also, there's no need for anyone to be bitter. $5,000 is a generous gift, but it really is an insignificant amount of money when it comes to paying for college. So it isn't like the OP just received an enormous windfall or anything like that.
