70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.

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

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

So you and your wife have $15000 more than you had yesterday? Boo-*******-hoo.

I kinda don't see how this is an FML considering husband and wives share so you should be excited your wife brought 15000 into your income..

You can use your backpack to carry that 15000$ in cash...not completely worthless

"boni"? Really?

Do you really expect sympathy for that? You're married so you get to reap the benefits of that crazy bonus. My husband gets a $20 gift card to his own place of employment and I get nothing. Try being grateful instead of greedy.....

All the woman say the same thing lol, I'm not a sexist my wife will attest but clearly they don't understand. I'm sure he is proud of here and is happy. He is just upset because he got a back pack instead of cash and he is feeling less like a man at some level. Who doesn't understand that????!

If you HAVE to say you're not sexist, then there's probably something wrong with your comment already.
