Today, I was volunteering at a gift-wrapping booth to raise money for autism, and helping others takes my mind off the fact that my mom died at Christmas. While carefully wrapping a present, offering bows, ribbons, and a gift tag, a snobby bitch said to me, "You're not doing a very good job." FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, Amazon didn't deliver the present I bought my mother for Mothering Sunday, so she called me an 'Ungrateful bastard.' And about half an hour ago, I cut my thumb whilst making her lunch. She said, 'You're doing this on purpose so I feel sorry for you. Well I don't.' FML
Today, I reduced a customer to tears and she had a tantrum, saying that nobody loves her, her life is a joke, and she’d be better off dead. This ordeal happened to grab the attention of my manager who was nearby. All I did was tell her that an item she wanted was sold out and offered to help her order it online. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, I was at work. I work at a grocery store and a woman pulls a cart to me filled with chips, breads, lunch meats, and sodas. I said to her "Looks like you are going to have a fun party" she then looks at me and says "My mother just died, this is for after the funeral. FML
Today, I already hate the holidays. My mom has been trying to be helpful, but has severe undiagnosed memory problems that our family ignores. They've also ignored all the house repairs, but have no problem consoling her while she cries how mean I am for missing her party, because I used my vacation time to fix the house. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents while watching a terrible Netflix Christmas movie to get into the holiday spirit. Halfway through, I realized I had wrapped my scissors and tape inside one of the gifts. Now I’m sitting here with unwrapped gifts and a deep annoyance at Christmas all together. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents for various people; 17 to be exact. It wasn't until I placed the last present on top of the stack that I realized I didn't put gift tags on any of them. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, I lost my job. Why? Because I'm taking care of my dying mother. My boss actually said, "Well, if she dies today, we can hold your job." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hope it wasn't for autism speaks.

why is everyone saying that?

They have a bad rep because they are very "pro-cure" and don't have anybody with autism working for them. A lot of us high-functioning autistics don't like the idea that we have a "disease".

not only "high functioning" (how I hate that term) autistic people hate Autism Speaks. They're just despised in general for their misinformation and abuse of autistic people, including claiming that autism is a worse affliction than cancer, that it somehow "steals" children, and purposely putting autistic kids through hell so that they can point and be like "SEE SEE THESE THINGS ARE THE WORST". Also they're anti vaccine so if you don't hate them for their hatred of those they claim to "help", then hate them for their hatred of science. If you want to support autistics, go to ASAN (Autistic self advocacy network) or related (NOT AUTISM SPEAKS) charities and organizations

What a ****, unhappy miserable people are everywhere. So sorry for your loss.

Well if she is paying to have her present wrapped then I think she should be able to say if her present wrapping is worth her money. It also depends on the way the person said it. There's no need for OP to call her a snobby bitch when she is paying to have it wrapped. It's the same as saying someone didn't make your burger right

the holidays bring out the generosity in some and the bitch in others

I don't mean this in a rude or horrible way but like you said. You put bows and ribbons and gift tags. Maybe the woman thought that it was a little bit tacky because of how cluttered it was. Or maybe she was just being a nitpicker and doesn't understand the meaning of charity. Either way it doesn't really matter because you were doing it for a charity and its not about her or you. Its about the kids.

She offered them the op didn't just put them on. Read the post before being stupid.

Maybe you should have read my whole comment before calling me stupid. Like i had said i meant no offense and it wasnt about her or the woman but the children. Because like she said, she was doing it to for them.
