Today, I worked 4 hours for a huge mail call to get all the troops their Christmas mail. And just like every other mail call I did not receive one package or letter. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I noticed that even though I got all my Christmas shopping done a month earlier than usual, I forgot to put anything in the mail. FML
Today, I returned from wading in a foot of snow to go to a hearing and back, and opened my emails. My boss had sent me an email on Friday at 4:30 telling me I didn't have to go in. On Friday, there was the company Christmas party. He was there. So was I. He told me nothing. Nor did he call me. FML
Today, I used my Christmas holiday time to open up a load of old letters. There were a lot of bills, of course, but there was also a note telling me that I'm due for a tax inspection. Merry F*ing Christmas! FML
Today, I found the Christmas 'newsletter' my mom sends out every year to our extended family and friends that details our activities and achievements of the past year. I wasn't mentioned once. FML
Today, I decided I was going to do something nice for my parents for Christmas. So, I cleaned the entire house top to bottom, baked cookies, and made them both Christmas cards. What did I get in return? They asked me to wrap my four year old sister's presents, and let me know I got nothing. FML
Today, the management office of my apartment building announced it will be keeping packages in the office until you can pick them up. They also posted new hours. There will be someone in the office once a week, for two hours only. I work those two hours, every single week. No more mail for me. FML
Today, my Christmas tree was finally shipped. FML
Today, I work at a debt collections center and I had to call my own father. Merry Christmas. 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 manager rejected my leave application for Christmas. Later I found out that I'm going to be the only employee working at the office during Christmas. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sorry to hear that man. Although it isn't much of a compensation, at least you're doing your country proud, even at one of the worse times of the year to be risking your ass.

Don't worry people do appreciate you. Maybe christmas cards aren't their thing. And anyone who put this a ydi has no heart.

I'm so sorry. My son was in the Army, and I know the importance of being thought of not just on holidays but on every day. You ARE appreciated. I thank you for your post. Sometimes we all need to be reminded to not just think about ourselves.

Im sorry, OP. I'm sure we all appreciate you here in the FML community. I'm sure your friends and family just didnt have time (even thought that is unacceptable still). God bless you and everyone else serving our country to keep us safe. God bless this country.

I'm sorry. Here in Korea we were fortunate enough to have 3 mail calls today. Thank you your time. I'm sorry your family and friends hurt you.

Well that sucks but what do you want, sympathy? I guess so since you came on a site where nobody gives a rats ass. So uh...sorry that happened to you?

Obviously there are people who "give a rat's ass" if you took even half a second to look at other comments. Seriously, take your "I'm not happy, so nobody should be happy" attitude and go in the corner.

You obviously don't know what the website is for. It's an FML, not a plea for sympathy.
