Today, I hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML

Today, I pulled out a book and my bookmark fell out. My crush picked it up and a weird look came across his face. I then realized I had used toilet paper. Now I'm the girl who reads while taking dumps. FML

Today, I found out that someone found my lost library card, and instead of returning it, took out multiple items. If they don't return them, I'm on the hook to paying over $100 for them. FML

Today, I went to the park to read “The Book Thief”. I fell asleep and when I woke up, my book was gone. FML

Today, I went to my university bookstore and tried to use my debit card to pay, but got the "Insufficient Funds" notification. I was buying a single postage stamp, which costs 57 cents. FML

Double down
Today, I forgot my library book on a bench then I got on a bus, so I got off at the next stop and walked back to get it. I arrived just in time to see some guy pick it up and hop on another bus. So now I'm not on the bus I needed, and I have to pay for the book. FML

Today, I went to have a drink with my friend. On the way I withdrew 20 bucks and when I arrived at the bar I realised I had taken my credit card but not the banknote. 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

Well, your stupidity is "paying off". Real bad. YDI, mate.

Lol. Try a piece of paper instead. Or essentially anything else not of any real value.

I won't dog ear my books because I am anal, but I would rather just note the page number in my head and look for it next time I open the book, rather than use any card of any importance, as a book can be easily misplaced/lost. Not to mention how easy it would be for the card to just fall out of place from the book anyways. Ydi

You won't dog ear your books because you're anal? Okay then
MandieL 27
Yes, I like my books to be in pristine condition. Have you never heard the term anal used as such?
trtnt25 19
Anal is a synonym for picky, right?
SnailMail 12
Never heard of it that way

It's "anal retentive" but phrased as anal for short. It does mean picky but more to the point of obsession. I'm this way with my book collection.

I find tissues or old shopping dockets make good bookmarks, whatever is handy really. I'm a bit like you in that I like my books in good condition and refuse to dog ear them.

I've heard the term "anal" used in this context many times; I knew exactly what you meant. :)

I would say it's time to invest in a bookmark.... But.
