Today, my landlord came and beat on my door demanding the rent check. I just got home from a trip and my wife was supposed to pay it while I was away. What happened to the money? Black Friday. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML
Today, a week after spending most of my paycheck on a down-payment and rent on a new apartment, I found out the "landlord" I paid was a scammer. Turns out the real owner was away on vacation, and he'd stolen most of her stuff before showing me the place. FML
Today, I had to pay a $150 late fee because my landlord didn't receive the rent check. My boyfriend had addressed the envelope to himself and put the landlord's as the return address. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, I had to text my landlord to tell him I’m gonna be short on rent. The guy who mugged me last night took the money I made from tips that was supposed to complete my rent. He replied, “Wow that’s wild. I don’t know how you’re gonna come up with the rest by 11:59 tonight, or you’re evicted in 30 days.” FML
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, I had to bail my husband out of jail. It turns out that in the Black Friday rush, he beat a guy up just so he could get his hands on the last of a heavily-discounted item. The item in question: a toaster. FML
Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. FML
Today, I found out the paycheck I deposited on Tuesday bounced. This means that the checks I sent to my landlord, the electric and gas company and my mom will also bounce. When I told my boss, we got into an argument over bank fees and he fired me. I had thumped him, though. FML

Never a good idea. I admit, sales catch my eye. Though I manage to not buy useless things.

She could have spent the money on something worse...

Like something else that could get them evicted by not paying the rent? Yeah, outstanding point.

Let me guess, she bought you an eviction for Christmas?

Pack up your stuff when she's gone, move to another place and let her deal with being evicted.

too bad she spent all the rent money on Black Friday, she could have gotten way better deals and free shipping on Cyber Monday.

ydi: should have spent it on drugs and booze while you're on that vacation, before she got her claws into it.

Nice job, asshole. With that, you just got evicted and jail time...

I'm confused as to why you went on a trip without your wife, unless it was a business trip.

did you not leave a cheque??? Or did you actually leave bills of cash and tell her to pay the rent? Either way, you deserve it. You could have pre-paid the landlord your rent, or better yet, leave a cheque with his name on it. :)

Are you a moron or a massive douchebag, 42?

I would have imagined he transferred the funds into a joint account for her to remove and pay with, not wads of cash or a check...
