Today, I told my boyfriend that I think teddy bears are THE most pointless and careless gift. He shyly gave me my birthday present afterwards. It was a carebear. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend gave me a teddy bear keyring. I had to explain that although many grown women like cuddly toys, I don't. And even if I did, a filthy, soaking wet bear he found in a puddle on the street is not a nice gesture, despite his suggestion I can just wash it in the machine. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a teddy bear. I thought it was a sweet thing to do, until I saw him open a slit in its back while visiting later in the day and removing a bag of weed. He gave me a teddy bear just so he could smuggle drugs past my parents. FML
Today, I bought my niece a huge stuffed teddy bear for her birthday because I wanted to be the cool aunt/uncle. She hugged it, smiled, and then immediately hugged the gift bag instead, because apparently it made a "funny" crinkly noise. I have officially been defeated by packaging. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend surprised me with a gorgeous, giant stuffed tiger as a belated birthday gift. I thought it was a lovely gesture until a friend told me she had thrown it in the dumpster behind our building this morning. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a voice personalized Build-a-Bear. I thought he was going to propose to me through it, only to press the foot of the bear and hear, "We should break up" instead. FML
Today, while at Six Flags my boyfriend won a huge stuffed animal for me. After a whole day of carrying it around, when he dropped me off he told me that he wants the stuffed animal back. He just didn't want to carry it around all day. FML
Today, rather than get me a birthday present, my boyfriend just got angry that I got gifts from other people. Apparently, it "made him feel guilty." FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I don't mind crappy gifts, but I have to wonder why the hell my boyfriend bought me a home enema kit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for being a selfish bitch. I would love it if I got a teddy bear. Hell, even if i got a card or a poem. If its from the heart, It could be something they made themselves and Id still love it. I hope he left you for realizing your just another gold digger ;)

my sister used to have a Care bear. i think it was a really old 80's or early 90s version. i remember as a little kid always teasing her about it. maybe they're not so bad after all? i mean, what's wrong with giving the one you love something that they can always hold onto and think of you when you're not around? it's the sentiment, not the object, that really counts. i mean, it could be a teddybear or it could be a desklamp (light of my life :P) or a watch (always close to you :P) but teddybears are pretty cute to snuggle up in bed with..right? i mean, they don't expect you to service their manhood. I'm talking about stuffed toys in the context of birthday gifts to one's gf ... just to clear things up. which is hard to do..coz i'm tired and...stuff. but yeah, it's from the heart, it's the thought that counts in the end. he could have stayed the night for your birthday and demanded a ****** *******. thankful he's not that kind of jocktard?
