Today, I received a package from a local guy on Craigslist. Instead of the iPhone I paid $350 for, the box only contained a photo of an iPhone. The guy had been dumb enough to attach a return address, so my husband went over and beat the shit out of him. I now have to bail him out of jail. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I had to bail my husband out of jail. It turns out that in the Black Friday rush, he beat a guy up just so he could get his hands on the last of a heavily-discounted item. The item in question: a toaster. FML
Today, I got a letter in the mail saying I'm being sued by the guy that broke into my house last week. When I walked in and saw him, I tackled him, punched him in the face a time or two, and restrained him with zip ties. I now have to pay for his broken nose and face charges of assault. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. 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 sold my old iPhone 14… or at least I tried. I met the customer and she said, “Gee thanks!” and walked away with it. When I asked for the money, she said, “Suck my dick!” and took off running. I'm too out of shape to catch her and phoneless until I can come up with the remaining $200 to pay for my new iPhone. FML
Today, I posted my phone for sale on Facebook. Someone hit me up to buy it and wanted me to meet them. I didn't really want to drive to them, but I'm a mom of two and I needed food and some extra cash, so I did it. The guy asked to look at the phone… and ran off with it. FML
Today, a phone I bought online turned up while I was at work. The delivery guy left a note saying he'd left the package with my neighbor at #10. When I went and knocked on the door and asked for the package, my neighbor said "Nope, nothing delivered here." and quickly shut the door in my face. FML
Today, I let a guy I like look at my phone. A second later I remembered I had a secret copy of his Facebook profile picture on there to show a friend what he looked like. I was forced to tackle him to get my phone back. FML
Today, a stranger asked to borrow my phone since his had died. As he was using it, he kept walking away and I had to chase him because he was walking too far. He turned around, yelled, "Stop following me, asshole!" and punched me, knocking me out cold. When I came to, I realized the fucker stole my phone. FML
Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you DO realize when shit like that happens you contact the local police and your money will be refunded AND with such a large amount the seller risks jail time

This is why calling the police to solve your problem is better than pointless payback via violence. That's for after you get a refund ;)

If he was a local, then why would you even use PayPal/electronic method to pay? It was ur fault to begin with. P.S - 98 said what I wanted to!

I can't decide. FYL cause I doubt you saw it coming but major YDI for buying from a more or less reliable site with strangers. If you want something that expensive go to a professional store where you can buy the item, be insured that you can get a refund and if needed, a warranty. Don't be stupid.

This is why craigslist deals should only be completed in person, in a public place, and cash transactions only. My only exception was a computer I sold and had them come to my house. I had someone present with me at the time just in case.

You bought something over Craigslist...what did you really expect?

I can't believe there are people dumb enough to fall for those scams.

Apple will be selling pictures of iphones soon enough. Right after they sue Polaroid and Kodak for copyright infringement.

He should not have been put in jail. The prick deserved to have the shit beaten out of him. What the ****'s wrong with our law enforcement?! Seriously.

He did the right thing. I mean, $350 for a photo seems a little too much.

You probably could of got your money back in small claims court, but that would mean time off work. I think beating that guy's ass is a better deal. Will he do it again? Probably not. Some people have a need to get their ass stomped.

whatever happens to good old street justice? police are crime fighters not babysitters.
