Today, my yearly bonus finally hit my bank account while I was busy at work. Hurrah! Unfortunately, I'm married, so by the time I got a second of free time to check my phone, my email was full of my wife's online shopping receipts, including a non-refundable cruise. I wish we could save money… FML

Today, after my wife just cashed in $160,000 in stock options, my Christmas present was two pairs of socks she bought with REI credit. I suppose it’s better than last year’s spatula. FML

Today, I got a $200 bonus at work and was super excited about getting a plane ticket to see my family. On the way back from work I got a $300 speeding ticket. FML

What?
Today, my coworker got a raise by making our boss give me a pay cut for doing his job while he was slacking off. As we were heading home for the day, he found $100. FML

Today, I got a 15% pay raise. My parents responded by saying, “Congratulations! You can now forget about online shopping packages coming in on a weekly basis and start chipping in for rent and utilities!” FML

Great, some ice cream!
Today, after three years of working at my current occupation, they decided to give me a bonus for all of my hard work and effort. A 5$ gift card to Cold Stone. FML

How can I make this about me?
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML

Why don't you just feel happy for her instead of complaining?

It's the equivalent of grade school lunch time. You open your lunch to find your mom packed you a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, while your friend's mom packed pizza with a pudding cup.

You can't just be happy and proud of her?

#27 I'm pretty sure he's upset about getting a backpack instead of money as a bonus.

Hooray for working for REI. I got the red one.

So you're going on a backpacking trip, I take it? Bonuses for regular workers these days are nearly unheard of anyway (although wanting one is understandable). Be happy that your household has received such a windfall, not jealous that your wife outearned you. If your marriage is decent I'm sure she would be glad as well if the roles were reversed.
