Today, I packed all my clothes in a black garbage bag, so I could easily move them to my new house. When I came back outside to load it into my car, the bag was missing, and all I could see was a garbage truck driving away with the week's trash. FML

Today, I was moving to my new apartment. I left some furniture outside as I drove to dump the first load at my new place. When I got back, everything was gone. Apparently, today is the day the donation truck was coming around to take everything we don't need. FML

Bye bye clothes

Today, I ran out of moving boxes so I used a few garbage bags to pack up my clothes. My new roommate decided to be helpful by putting those green garbage bags in the dumpster. It was garbage day. FML

Today, I came home and saw my roommate had taken out the garbage for the first time in the three years we have lived in the same house. Unfortunately, the bag of laundry I had by the door was taken out with it as well. FML

Today, I put all my clothes into two piles. One pile had clothes I usually wear, the other clothes I wanted to donate. When I was done, I put the piles into two jumbo trash bags. I came back a bit later and they both were gone. My mom donated both bags. I have no clothes. FML

Today, I went to drop the garbage in the compactor as I left to do some shopping. I quickly put my handbag down on the side, threw the 'garbage' in the machine, watched it do its thing, and then turned round to find... the bag of garbage on the side. FML

Today, I went to the dry-cleaner's and went to get my bag of laundry from my trunk, but I ended up dropping the bag. My dirty underwear blew around the parking lot. I had to chase it all down as a bunch of people looked on. FML

Today, after putting a bag of dirty laundry in the laundry room to wait for an open washer, I came back to find a "free stuff" sign on all of my expensive jeans, new towels, and favorite sweatshirts. The bag was over half empty. FML

Sticky situation

By CodyS - 03/09/2013 05:03 - United States - Rocky River

Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. FML

Today, I left on a 2 month trip. I was in a hurry to pack so I wouldn't miss my plane. There were 2 piles of clothes on my bed. One pile was clothes that didn't fit to take to a thrift store, one was to take with me. Guess which one I brought? FML

Today, I spent the entire day packing my car full of boxes for my move tomorrow. When I finally finished, I realized I didn't have the car key. It's inside one of the boxes. FML

Hey, think about it this way OP. The hobos that visit the junkyard or the garbage dump will have a new wardrobe! :D It's a win for them.

I bet when OP was running down the street chasing a garbage truck all the neighbours had a great lasting impression of her as they watched.

Yes but have you ever held a bag of clothes? Much different than a bag of garbage.

20 - Unless you are throwing away old clothes.

Sunday 8 July 2012 2:46

Well why didn't you chase it down

JustDerpin 11

Sunday 8 July 2012 3:31

at least this gives OP a reason to buy new clothes :D.

Who throws away clothes? There is always someone less fortunate in need of old clothes

Yeah, I'm sure people would love old, raggedy clothes with holes and stains. Why throw those away?

Omg! I would chase that truck for miles! I love my clothes!

Sadly it will probably just sit under a mountain of trash for the rest of time :/

Oh yeah, didn't think about that... Hey, maybe the mice and roaches will enjoy them just as much. :D

So optimistic. I like that. It's kind of a weirdly cute comment.

Sorry OP ... Maybe you should've kept it inside ...

Sunday 8 July 2012 5:16

How did this get thumbed up? Op was MOVING and the bags got picked up outside of the old home mistaken as trash and they should have left them inside?? How does that work?! Reading comprehension people.

Kgirl2cute 6

Sunday 8 July 2012 5:42

She meant that she should have left the bag inside until she was ready to load it directly into her car, obviously. "Reading comprehension". Try some.

Sunday 8 July 2012 11:37

Well common sense says you don't put valuables outside by the curb on garbage day, in garbage bags. So yes they should have kept them inside.

Chase down that truck and say,"excuse me may I get something out of there?"

Shouldn't be hard to catch a truck that stops at almost every house in the neighborhood.

Get in your car and drive after it? Those trucks stop often so you can just talk to the driver.

Most trucks compact everything. All the clothes are probably ruined anyway.

SkoomaKi 27

Sunday 8 July 2012 1:31

Or the clothes could be neatly compressed by the compacting?

I'm surprised all of your clothes fit in one bag. Sorry OP, that sucks. On the bright side, time to hit the mall!

On the down side, way less money for OP after the mall!

I don't know but I don't think after purchasing a HOUSE I would have a lot of money to buy a bags worth of clothes. ***** expensive.

It might've helped to label the bag, say, with a bright red marker. Anything to set it apart from the bags with trash. You should've thought this through.
