Today, I invited my boss and his family over for dinner. As usual, I bought his kids Christmas' presents, nothing too fancy though. This year, he had one more that wasn't here last year. So I just pulled something from under the tree to hand him. He opened it on the spot. It was my son's PS3. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at the office, everyone in my department swapped secret santa presents. I bought the guy whose name I picked a DVD box-set of his favorite TV series. One of my friends got a fancy make up kit. Another got a pack of posh notebooks. I got a toilet plunger. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, my boss sent a Christmas present… to my dog. FML
Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML
Today, my husband called me from the store, trying to decide whether or not to buy the new games console he's been wanting. I'd already purchased one and hid it, ready for Christmas Day. I couldn't talk him into not buying himself one. There goes a $500 surprise. FML
Today, my son told me the Christmas letter he wrote to Santa was a joke and he didn't want the stuff he asked for. I already bought everything. FML
Today, my coworker and I announced that we are spending our holidays together, because we both have kids. My boss then announced that he's coming with us. FML
Today, I finally got a Christmas gift, a calligraphy set, for my father that I have been looking for for a month. My dad came home happily with the same calligraphy set today, saying that he surprised himself for Christmas. He got it cheaper than me. FML
Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". 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 you wanna impress your boss, try sucking his **** instead. It's cheaper and you'd enjoy it more.

I REALLY hope you took it back. Or if you were too spineless, that your boss was decent enough to recognize that surely this wasn't meant for his kid and hand it back. This happened to my aunt just the other day at a Christmas party - when the gift was opened, it was evident that it was not intended for the recipient. She simply said "oh my gosh, sorry, yours is wrapped just like this, let me run up and get it!" and everyone laughed and no ******* of lives was necessary. I think the gifts should've been foregone all together, once you realized you didn't have one for every kid.

How did you not know it was the PS3? The things weigh a ton and come in a HUGE box. o.0

Maybe the PS3 was from her son's other parent & she didn't know.

But in this case, I don't think she was giving the kid the present for the BOSS'S sake. The boss probably would have understood. She felt like she had to give a present because you can't give two siblings a gift and then turn to the last one and go, "well, I didn't know you were coming, so sorry! You'll get one next year." The KID wouldn't understand. It was for his sake, not the boss's.

What next? I mean surely you must've just said "Oh, wait, there must've been some sort of mistake" then get a new present. Also, a PS3 box is fairly big, how on earth could you have given it away and not noticed.
