Today, my husband received the "antique" samurai sword that he bought on Craigslist with $399.99 of our money. He only shared my outrage at the waste of money when he opened the package, only to find a toy sword along with a note saying, "HAHA, TROLLED." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband brought home a machete. In the process of showing me a trick he learned, he managed to slice a nice big hole in our brand new very expensive sectional. FML
Today, for my birthday, my boyfriend bought me a sword from a TV show called Game of Thrones. He seemed disappointed at my reaction, since he spent so much money on the limited edition version. I've never watched the show, and I also have never had any interest in swords, so I don't know what he was thinking. FML
Today, my dad bought a one hundred dollar collectible light-saber. He plays with it. In the front yard. With sound effects. FML
Today, it was my dad's retirement. He is traditional Japanese, so I had custom-ordered a samurai sword from a traditional Japanese blacksmith with dad's name engraved on the blade in kanji script. He loved it, right up til my drunk cousin tried to use it to cut down a tree and snapped it in two. FML
Today, after my husband bought our son a sword for Xmas, sure enough, I found a stab mark in my living room wallpaper, and the sword now has a bent tip. My son denies everything and my husband claims I’m overreacting by yelling. FML
Today, after my husband refused to donate to Children in Need because it’s a "waste of money", he came home with swords and shields so he and our son could "wage war in the garden like knights". I wanted to donate £20, the swords and shields cost £500 at least, but I’m the one wasting money. FML
Today, I gave my husband an expensive watch. The first words out of his mouth were, "You didn't use our joint bank account for this, right?" He then asked if I still had the receipt. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend keeps a sword under the bed, a proper sharp 'knight on horseback' sword instead of the typical baseball bat for burglars, I found this out after I was groping under there for a dropped earring and cut one of my fingers down to the bone. FML
Today, I got a gift from my wife. It was a beautiful watch. The same exact watch I'd sold to our local jewelers for 6k. She bought it for 10k. When I told her, she said, "Hmmm, I thought it looked familiar." There goes 4K from our joint account. I could’ve thought of 4000 ways to spend that money. FML
Today, my husband sold a bunch of stuff from our garage to buy himself the latest Xbox. Unfortunately, the clown also sold the bicycle I don’t ride anymore. It was my nana’s vintage bicycle, with original wicker basket, worth several thousand to collectors. He accepted £80 for it on Facebook Marketplace. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This does suck OP. First because your husband trusted someone off Craigslist. Second because this person was obviously a huge douchebag. I would suggest suing them though since it is false advertisment. You and your husband would be well within your rights to sue the guy and get your money back. Hopefully your husband learns his lesson after this though too.

Don't feel bad OP. I received a check before sending my DS to a buyer and it was anyone related to the name that was making te purchase. I would have spent alot of money to return the money and federal offense.

Did your husband not look at the item he bought before he paid? I've purchased things off Craigslist many times, but always inspect before you buy. If your husband bought and they sent it to him. He deserves it cause there's a giant red sign that says beware of shipping as they are scams.

Yea sorry to beat a dead horse, but I know it's Cl so maybe not but if you have an actual return address or accurate name you can sue for fraud in small claims court

If you have their account and proof that they cheated you out of almost 400 bucks, I bet they can get in trouble.

First off your husband is a gullible tit. Secondary: If there was an email exchange, you should have an IP address that is trackable. Hope the troll was dumb enough to not spoof his IP address, and fail to cover his digital prints. Good Hunting!
