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?

if it was just in the memo line, who cares, you just got five grand. and i seriously doubt they actually made the check out to their "sweet little pumpkinbutt" instead of your real name, since obviously they know you couldn't cash it then.

I would hope this is the case, but the OP said it was "instead of [his] name"...

It wasn't in the memo line, it said instead of his name. Just to reiterate -- INSTEAD OF his name. That means it replaced his name. So .. where his name would normally go - the made out to section - would instead be pumpkinbutt, which means he can't deposit it.

@90- I know, most people can't tell the difference between saying MLIF and FML. My life is f***ed would imply that their life is f***ed. F*** my life implies that they hate their life. I mean, is that so hard to understand?

@96- I know, most people can't tell the difference between saying MLIF and MILF. My life is f***ed would imply that their life is f***ed. Mother I'd like to f*** implies that they want to f*** a mother. I mean, is that so hard to understand?

You didn't even look at the check before sprinting to the bank? FAIL

YDI for not looking at the cheque first. What, did you just see the 5000 written on it and run off to the bank? On the other hand, FYL for having grandparents who don't know how to write a cheque. If it doesn't have your name on it's useless.

It could be cashed. If it were a bearer check. If it were crossed "Not Negotiable" Then it would have to go into an account in the name written on the check...
