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?

i can't understand 1 why peoples are so fanatic about samourai sword, that's weapons and i don't display weapons in my living room. 2 why you can truly hope buying an "antique samourai sword" for 399, even the smallest documentary about japan explain that they are all handcrafted by craftmaster and take at least 2 weeks to make it. So, if you buy it 399, you know something is wrong ( or you will buy real rollex or viagra online, and you will help rich nigerian widows)

Point 1... you don't like it so how could anyone else possibly want to buy one? Yes, that makes sense. I'll be sure to check with you to see if my tastes and preferences are in line with yours so I adhere to the gold standard that is your refined sensibility.

You can actually have someone arrested for that. Or am I thinking eBay?

why the hell would you buy anything on craigslist

I believe that is considered theft by deception. I would make a police report, contact Craigslist and make them aware that you have filed the report and see if they will trace the IP address and email address. Also, the courts can order them to do so if you file a small claims suit. Don't let this asshole get away with that shit. BTW, NEVER buy shit off Craigslist that you don't have in hand when money exchanges hands. Would you send $250,000 through western union for a Ferrari listed on Craigslist that you wanted to buy?

Craigslist and Kijiji are cesspools. You only go there if you're desperate and prepared to be ripped off.

I'm pretty sure you can sue for that.

That's why you don't dish out $400 up front before you even see the product
