Today, I ran for editor-in-chief of a magazine. I spent hours working on my speech, and offered a bunch of new ideas to increase readership. My opponent just said that she, "loved the organization". I lost by a 4-1 margin. My opponent later announced her plans for next year. They were all of my ideas. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to give a speech as part of my campaign for school captain. I was rather happy with it and so I told another candidate my speech. Apparently it was a good idea as minutes later that same candidate stole my entire speech, leaving me looking like a complete idiot. FML
Today, after submitting a 500-word essay to a writing contest, I found out that I lost to someone who wrote 3 sentences. FML
Today, it was the elections for Student Council President. I decided to be nice and vote for the only other competitor because it was her birthday. I lost by one vote. FML
Today, I was having an in depth discussion with my girlfriend's father about how corrupt journalists are and how our town's paper is the worst paper on the planet. After insulting basically everything about the newspaper, I asked him what he did for a living. He's the editor of the newspaper. FML
Today, my boss asked for recommendations on how to improve the office. I sent her an e-mail full of my ideas. Later, my boss sent me a reply, saying, "Here's what head office thinks of your ideas." It contained a list of insults upper management made about me. FML
Today, I gave my boss a report I wrote on my own time, full of suggestions on how to increase productivity and profits at our company. He said my ideas made "about as much sense as pistol-whipping a ghost" and that I was impressing no one. FML
Today, we had a meeting at my job and we had to introduce new ideas to our boss. Earlier, I was talking to one of my close friends who also attended the meeting about my idea. As we start the meeting, she decides to steal my idea and take complete credit for it. My boss loves "her" idea. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, after interviewing for a promotion to a position that was created with me in mind, I eagerly accepted a call from my boss, expecting good news. Turns out, they found a better applicant, who they don't believe will need support from the position I currently hold, so it's being eliminated. FML
Today, due to nepotism, I lost to a competitor. They rarely contributed to the competition and were literally distracted all the way through. Their quality was pretty low as well, but they were friends with the judge. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sorry to hear that Dude. My feeling is that you lost because: A: She is hot and the people voting were male. B: The voting panel was primarily female. C: She's the office suck-up and kisses everyone's ass so she got the popular vote. D: She blew and/or ate out four of the five people on the voting panel to win. People like her get their come uppance later on when she has to operate on her own brains and fails. Stick in there, you'll get what you deserve!

You're an idiot. She probably got the job because she was more qualified and had been there longer. Heaven forbid a woman gets a job over a man. Welcome to the 21st century. Men like you make me sick you chauvinistic pig.

Don't call him an idiot, idiot. You used the word probably, which means that it could happen. And it does. I'm certainly not saying all women do, but quite a few will do anything to get a job. A lazy and stupid interviewer or human resources manager are corrupt enough to hire double D staff because of their looks, you cannot argue that. Women can use their bodies and suggestible personalities to get ahead of men, although not all do. So therefore women can have an unfair advantage over a male, if the interviewer is male or female. Good day.

Thank you SKoomaKi. I was crying in the corner over her caustic remarks. I very much appreciate you coming to my defense *oink*!

That's politics, OP! You win some you lose some but don't let it get you down! You could get started on your next campaign even if it says OP 2014. At least they will have someone to go to if and when she fails before the year is out.

Quit and let her try to implement!

Op ydi big time. You were stupid enough to give specifics of your ideas in front of her, and deserved to have them stolen. Next time here's a great idea - keep your specific detailed ideas to yourself until you get the job.

He was making a speech smart ass, yu have to have ideas for the part yu are wanting... How would they have known he knows what the hell he is doing if he didnt have ideas???? Even though the bitch won, and took his ideas.. He still showed he is right for the job and when she fails in front of every damn person in the building, it will finally be his time to shine...

Her speech was that she loved the organization. I'm all for women qualifying for jobs, but If that's all she came up with in addition to OP's ideas then you know she isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

She probably promised a lot of blow jobs.

They probably got to listen to each other's speeches.

I'm going to guess that she was listening to OP's speech...

Chances are she probably got it due to social pressure to get women Into more higher placed jobs. Sexism in its purest. But to them it's not because they're fighting the sexism. So basically trying to put out an imaginary fire with a real one, thus burning people like op.

maybe you'll be her boss one day.

Your speech was boring and tedious, but her remarks were brief and to the point. Who would be a better editor? Get some breast implants before the next election (yeah, I know you're a dude.)

It must of been her ****.
