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

I kind of have to say **** you, since you have the audacity to complain that you just got 15k and you want MORE?! **** you, you don't deserve shit, let alone my sympathy.

At least you have a place to store all that dough. (Not a good idea, though.)

Now you can buy your boss a bigger bag pack.

I don't see how mentioning your wife's bonus was relevant or necessary. Your work giving you a backpack as a bonus still would've sucked, regardless.

If that was my wife, I would celebrate. You know there are people who can't afford backpacks, so be blessed you have one.

There is no downside in this situation. You are just a jerk. Be happy for your wife.
