Today, I was at the Polish border when I found my passport was gone. I contacted the last place I stayed at and the owner said he would handle it. I reluctantly agreed as I was being charged international rates. Apparently, "taking care of it" means telling the embassy I'm retarded. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my family and I were coming back from a trip to the US. As we reached the border patrol we realized that we were one passport short. The border patrol lectured us for 30 minutes about how irresponsible we were for not realizing that they had forgotten to give us one of our passports back. FML
Today, my purse was stolen. Too bad it had all of my money and my passport. My flight is tomorrow, and the embassy is closed until Monday. Guess who gets to stay in a foreign country with no money and no identification for the next three days. FML
Today, I was unable to go on my dream vacation because I thought I'd lost my passport. Feeling incredibly stupid, I had no choice but to watch my plane depart without me. Shortly after, my brother handed me passport, saying that since I wasn't going on my trip, I could use my refund to pay for his cat's surgery. My trip was non-refundable. FML
Today, I picked up my passport, as my previous one was damaged in a car crash. As the teller warned me that a pattern of damaged passports would result in longer processing periods, she spilled her coffee - all over my new passport. I'm supposed to go overseas in a month. FML
Today, we're taking the plane home from Dublin after a school trip that I only barely got onto after troubles with my passport. Luckily for me, a kind person had decided to save me from the passport this evening - together with the rest of my wallet. I'm stuck. FML
Today, while in Holland, I lost the bag with my passport, debit and credit cards, license, and camera. I froze my accounts and filled out the paperwork for a new passport. My bag was found the second time I went to the police, with everything in it. Now my accounts are frozen for the 3 weeks I'm here. FML
Today, I was at the airport waiting for my flight when I realized I had forgotten my passport at home. I panicked, called my mom in a frenzy, only to realize I was holding my passport in my wallet the entire time. It was so embarrassing, and my mom will probably never let me forget it. FML
Today, my husband told me that he can't find his passport. We're supposed to be leaving for Prague in two days. He's known about the trip for months. It was the anniversary vacation that was going to help our frayed relationship. Now my money is going to a hotel in Prague, but I'm not. FML
Today, I found out that one of my best mates had his backpack, clothes, and everything else in it stolen at an airport overseas. I was feeling sorry for him all day. It took me 9 hours to remember that I actually loaned him my backpack for his trip. FML
Today, after cancelling work, arguing with my family, scrambling to pack my bags, speeding to the airport and filling in immigration forms to fly out to have a much needed holiday, I wasn't allowed to check in. My passport has less than 6 months away from expiration on it. Yes, that's a thing, apparently. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

some of these comments are so mean. poland is a great, beautiful country that is in many aspects much better than america. for example, our school systems aren't half as good as poland's. when the US sinks into a nuclear war someday, i'll be escaping to poland, laughing at all of you who dissed my country who will be stuck here. :D

Great idea. Your plan for escaping a nuclear war, one of the few viable threats to all life on Earth, is to run to a country with nearly zero natural border protection; a country that will be smack dab in the middle of the east-west crossfire. I can see it now: "Today, there was a nuclear war. I am in Poland right now, counting the missiles and watching the grass bake in the radiation. FML."

It might be nice to add that I think the US has or is trying to put nukes in Poland. So good luck dying when the retaliatory strikes come.

I'm originally from Poland but moved to America when I was young. Poland def has some better qualities. In general the people are a lot friendlier. The history is richer and far older. Especially the schooling system. Was gonna go to college at the Jagiellonian University, since citizens can get a good education for not as much as here (it's a well known European university that's one of the oldest, even Copernicus went there). But since I got my primary education in America, I'd be lacking behind Poland's and I'd have to take an entire year of intro courses to just catch up. So yes Poland does have better things than America. As good as the USA is, it's not the center of the world.

Don't think it is. Never did. The US scored some of the worst on global tests in 2006. I vow that my kids will not be americans, not the way the countries going.

Indeed. The high school level is at least a year behind Belgian's as well. Does make it easier for exchange student to pass, though.

Well you got back didn't you? The guy did you a favor. Not a total fml.
