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!

Brilliant. "Right, I need to give this kid a present. I know! I'll take one from under the tree, the place where the presents I have bought for my family are, including that very expensive Playstation 3 for my son. Ah well, this random kid probably deserves some random present I got for one of ny family, more than the member of the family I actually got it for." Under your tree isn't a little storeroom of presents for kids that pop round for dinner. What the **** were you thinking robbing a present for SOMEBODY ELSE and giving it to this kid you don't know? And if you knew the PLAYSTATION 3 was under there, that makes it even more ridiculous. Also I have to question why, when picking him a present, which, for the son fo your boss who comes round to dinner would normally just be like, some chocolate or something, did you pick the really big PS3-box-sized box?

YDI. Why would you give him someone else's present? That's just stupid.

This fails harder than anything I've seen in a long long time. I hope you were able to get it back though O_o

I call bullshit. PS3's weigh enough you wouldn't think its something cheap and easily replaceable.

Ditto 74. There's no way you would grab a gift as big and as heavy as the PS3 box. OP go play in traffic.

"OP go play in traffic." I like your style, lol.

My thoughts exactly. I have no contact with video games/consoles, but come on, why in the world would you hand a freakin huge box off hoping it's like a plastic toddler's toy?

I wonder how the OP's boss's other kids felt about that kid getting a PS3 when they probably just got candy or a trinket.
