Today, I realized that I get more mail addressed to the old tenant of my apartment than to me. He hasn't lived here in years. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I received yet more mail for my ex-fiancé. We've been broken up for nearly a year and I've told him multiple times to change his address. Getting his mail is a constant reminder that I haven't dated since. FML
Today, it's been two weeks since one of my roommates moved out. Despite me telling the postal service he no longer lives here, they're still knocking on my door almost every day with urgent letters addressed to him. I have no idea where he lives now, and am wondering what the fuck he was up to here. FML
Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML
Today, I moved into a new apartment. While moving boxes, I ran into my supervisor from work. Guess who lives across the hall. FML
Today, the mailman delivered my new phone to my neighbour's house. This was okay, because he left a note in my mailbox informing me so. Now my crazy neighbour won't give me the package because, "*I* signed for it!" FML
Today, I came home to a noise complaint letter taped to my apartment door. I haven't been home in over a month. FML
Today, I got a notification that my food had been delivered. I opened my front door and found nothing. After ten minutes of panic, I checked the delivery photo. It was of my old apartment. I moved out eight months ago. FML
Today, my landlord sold the apartment I’ve been renting for 10 years without telling me. I found this out when the new owners showed up at the door with boxes. FML
Today, I was at an estate sale of my neighbor who recently passed. I recognized many items for sale that I had ordered or won on eBay from the past 8 years. Turns out the little old lady had been stealing my mail for close to a decade. FML
Today, after moving to a new house my life has fallen apart, paperwork lost, appointments missed, job offers rescinded, and now I know why. The postbox by my new house isn’t in use, so four months worth of the letters I've posted are sitting uncollected inside it. It even has a big "Not in use" sign on it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Mail? What the hell is that? Isn't that 18th century technology? Welcome to 2014! We pay our bills and get junk mail with science now.

May be work but phone the mailers and tell him that guy has left the coop, less annoyances in the long run.

Yeah, I thought that would work too- 3 years later (and numerous 'return to sender' requests that steadily became more and more furious), I'm still getting mail for the old tenants.

Not an fml. I don't like getting mail, it's all bills or junk. No one sends personal mail or letters anymore.

"No one sends personal mail or letters anymore" Maybe this should be an FML on it's own.

Yeah, probably only junk mail. Seriously you want that?

I wouldn't be complaining. Most of the mail now days are bills.

I was gonna say, you want mail, try missing some car payments.
