Today, I was holding a yard sale. A man came up to me and asked if he could buy a pair of red and white sneakers that I'd found in my attic and had never worn. Five bucks later, he was walking away with what I now realize was the pair of shoes signed by Michael Jordan given to me by my uncle. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while shopping for a pair of shoes, I saw a pair I really liked lying around, so I sat down to try them on. Then, a man came up to me and pointed out that they were actually his shoes. FML
Today, I wanted to sell some Jordan sneakers on OfferUp. I met up with the buyer in a parking lot. The friendly looking lady buying them said, “Thanks for the shoes, bitch!” then a guy come out, punched me, grabbed the shoes, and they both hauled ass. People saw and did nothing. There goes my kids’ Christmas gifts. FML
Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML
Today, I went down to my grandparents' house to spend some time with them. I was in the guest room when I noticed a box in the corner of the closet labelled "Crap". I opened up the box to see my Dad's John Elway Autographed Football in it. I got it for him for Christmas, it cost me $600. FML
Today, because money is a little tight, I decided to sell one of my retro video game consoles. The family member that initially gave me it to me saw the ad on Facebook and demanded I give it back to them. FML
Today, I was working at our garage sale with my dad. I sat outside for 2 hours, talked to three people, and sold nothing. My dad came outside and got angry at me, so I told him to give it a shot. He sold 3 things to the first guy who walked in. FML
Today, I was helping an old man find a pair of shoes. I told him about a particularly comfortable pair but had to inform him that they only came in black or white. Hearing this, the old man grabbed me around the neck and began to beat me in the head with our display shoe. He wanted brown. FML
Today, I paid a local homeless man to rake the leaves in my yard. After paying and driving him to the bus stop, I found his shit on my back porch. I need new shoes. FML
Today, I surprise-visited my uncle after not seeing him for 4 years because of college. When he opened the door to his house, he was wearing Crocs. Of course, that would have been completely fine if it weren't for the fact that they were the only thing he was wearing. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI What an idiot. This might be an FML if your spouse/kid had held the yard sale.

And THAT is no one's fault but your own. You didn't even look at them before selling them?

He shouldn't have let the shoes collect dust in the attic in the first place. If he didn't want them he should've sold them. At a reasonable price.

Let me know when your next yard sale is. If you're selling $5,000 shoes for $5 I definitely want to come bargain hunting.

Well, even though it sucks, if they ARE in fact real, you have no way of proving it unless you have actual photos of him signing them, or a certificate of authenticity... so it's mainly the personal value. Most likely, you or even the guy you sold them to couldn't get much money for them. My fiance has a few signed cards from Theo Flurry (I think... don't really pay attention all the time) because Theo used to date the sister of one of his friends, and he played hockey with them one day. He knows they're not worth anything, except to him. There was someone else that is the son of a guy who owns a card store in Red Deer Alberta that took him and a friend out to lunch when he went to visit his dad, because they spent all their money there as kids and were there when he came to visit. I can't remember who it was, but he signed some stuff. And then there was another hockey player from New Jersey that has a beach house, and a friend of ours went and got his brother's banner signed... just went out to his place and knocked on the door. I'm sorry... I can't remember names... the preggo brain is killing me... Anyway, it's all about sentimental value is my point....

This is a stupid comment and very useless, it would have even more value if it was personal, plus it's not hard to take it to a deal to get authenticated.

Well you should of paid more attention. You wanted to make the quick buck, but you would of made more money selling the shoes probably.
