Today, I saw a letter from Geneseo that invited me to apply to the honors college. Excited, I wrote the required two page essay on how I am organized. I then saw the strict deadline was March 15th. My little brother thought it would be funny to hide my mail. For the past seven weeks. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML
Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML
Today, while reading over my sent application email to a job I have been trying to get, I found out my brother had put "Heil Hitler!" as my signature. FML
Today, I got a letter from Yale Law School saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing… even the bottom of the letter, which said, "April fools' ! Love, Mom and Dad." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

@72 Asking for attention the right way is fine, asking it for the wrong way deserves a beating. I am the oldest and have 2 younger sibling, so I can safely say that. If the younger brother does not get a proper punishment aka beating, then he may never learn what's right and that there are consequences.

how do you not realize you haven't gotten mail for so long? little brother is a stupid kid, but you're older and should know better. kinda deserve it.

It could have just been that one day the little bro took the mail, and he had been hiding it for 7 weeks. I'm also willing to bet OP is in high school if they're living at home and applying for college, which means they probably don't get much mail. At all.

Revenge. Put dishsoap in his mouthwash, and put Nair in his shampoo.

Murder him. Actually no. Wait until something important comes for him and hide it. Let him find out after the deadline. Then murder him.

Your parents should ground him, for 7 weeks. Haha. In all seriousness though, check your email more thoroughly, they coulda sent you some info about the app and essays. Lots of schools are moving toward more non-paper systems.

@ # 75, even though its been said before, i'll say it again for your benefit. A High School Student doesn't often get mail. For example Other than School Work, in a year I'll get 2 letters regarding my bank account, and occasionally some general junk mail.
