Today, I went to a work party where we had a Secret Santa. I gave a nice set of beer bottles with glasses. When my name was called I naturally picked the biggest gift. I got groceries. I now have dog food and men's body spray. I don't have a boyfriend or a dog. FML
Collection
Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, at the office, everyone in my department swapped secret santa presents. I bought the guy whose name I picked a DVD box-set of his favorite TV series. One of my friends got a fancy make up kit. Another got a pack of posh notebooks. I got a toilet plunger. FML
Today, we did a Secret Santa at work and instead of buying cringe romance novels and candy for this other girl, I bought her a fantasy novel and a bag of dried mangos. When I went to leave for the day, I found both of my thoughtful gifts in the trash can. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I gave each other early Christmas gifts. I gave him a basketball signed by his favorite player, which took me forever to find. He got me diet pills. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, I was at a small secret Santa with a group of friends. Everyone got each other some amazing gifts, the first person got a homemade self portrait, the second person got some professional grade playing cards, the third person got an album of past memories, and I got a pack of pens. FML
Today, after weeks of tirelessly organising a Secret Santa with work colleagues, we finally exchanged gifts. I got a stapler, which had been stolen from my desk the day before. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I worked late, so I was looking forward to spending a quiet evening with my husband. When he suggested we go grocery shopping, I got excited thinking he had organized a surprise party or something. He actually just took me grocery shopping. FML
Today, my boss sent a Christmas present… to my dog. FML
Today, I think my friends were trying to tell me something with all my Christmas gifts being mostly perfume, deodorant, and soap. FML
Today, for our Christmas gift exchange, we were supposed to all bring alcohol. I got a Crown Royal Apple box with a couple of positive pregnancy tests. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for being greedy and a size queen. Bigger isn't always better. ;)

That's a weird secret santa gift... Donate the dog food to an animal shelter and re-gift the body spray. No harm, no foul.

If you got more than just that, since you mentioned "groceries," then it's not much of a problem. Just give away the mens spray and dog stuff.

Ydi for "naturally" picking the biggest gift...

Beer and glasses seems just as arbitrary of a gift. The recipient of your gift could complain that she's an alcoholic, allergic, or whatever. You always take a risk with one of those type of gift exchanges.

The real FML here is that you don't have a boyfriend.

When it comes to Christmas, NEVER chose the biggest present. I remember one Christmas party I went to, some kid picked the biggest box there. Turns out it was 7 boxes stacked one after the other with different sizes and the present was a new bag of sox. I picked the smallest present there and it turned out to be a huge Hershey's Bar + $20. LOL

a gift exchange where people wrap cheesy gifts, and crap that they don't want, just for kick and giggles.

YDI and by the sounds of it that sort of party is called a White Elephant. You don't get to pick your present with a secret Santa.
