Today, I found a great recipe for dinner, and emailed it to myself with the subject "Dinner tonight". Hours later, I'd forgotten all about it, opened my emails, saw the subject line, and thought someone was asking me out to dinner. I got really excited until I saw the sender address. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was cleaning out my email folders and found a message I'd sent myself five years ago with the subject "IMPORTANT." I opened it, expecting something useful. It was a reminder saying, "Remember to look up what this is about." I apparently trusted future me far too much. FML
Today, I sent an important email to my entire team, but I accidentally left a shopping list as the subject line. They responded with grocery items they needed. Nobody mentioned the email content. FML
Today, I received an email from a potential employer with an awesome job opportunity. I was so excited, I immediately went to forward the email to my husband. My email included a lot of "I love you" and "we are going to celebrate tonight ;)". In my excitement, I hit reply instead of forward. FML
Today, I got overly excited because someone texted me, but then realized that moments before, I had sent myself a message. FML
Today, I got an email from my cute teacher about reminding us to bring stuff for the next lesson. As a joke I clicked on reply and wrote about how I think he is so cute and handsome. Right then and there I clicked to go look at other messages. A little box came up..."MESSAGE SENT". FML
Today, I was preparing a dinner for some business associates, in hopes of closing the deal on a promotion. I emailed them with the menu, in case there were any allergies. Hours later, I checked the email again to find that instead of serving Roast Duck I would be serving Roast Fuck. FML
Today, I updated an e-mail I've saved to drafts and have been updating every day for the last few months to a girl I really adore. In this letter, I told her everything I ever kept from her. Instead of saving it to drafts again, I accidentally sent it. And she's online. FML
Today, I decided to write a romantic email to my boyfriend describing how much I love and miss him. An hour later, I got an email back saying, "I think we need to discuss this." It seems I sent it to my teacher by mistake. FML
Today, I texted a somewhat overweight girl I wanted to hook up with and asked her "Have you been dating anyone lately?" Unfortunately with predictive text, "dating" came out as "eating". I didn't realize it till after it sent. FML
Today, I ordered a food delivery and tracked it obsessively because I was starving. When it 'arrived', I realized I’d sent it to my old address from two years ago. Support said it was “successfully delivered.” Somewhere, a stranger is enjoying my dinner while I eat crackers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's almost like a nice little surprise like finding money but that surprise turns into pain when you realize it's Monopoly money..

Great recipe doesn't always translate great meal. it's possible to mess up when cooking.

Not just possible... it's too easy to turn a delicious dish into a disaster

One missed spice and you turn foie gras into foie gross.

**** won't solve her loneliness. It's not all about sex, bud.

#2, I gotta say, if **** is your go-to solution for things like this, you have to be really messed up.

How do you forget all about that and think that someone asked about dinner?
Nordrag 26
oh cmon, shit like that can happen to anyone. she didn't necessarily forget, as much as she just read the subject and got a bit excited without thinking.

I suppose you're right, I read the FML a little too fast and misread, my mistake.
OverFlash 15
OP specifically stated that she forgot
rocker_chick105 31
39- yes, I realize. Like I said, I misread the FML

That feeling is the worst. Same feeling happens when you call yourself to find your phone. You find your phone, think someone wants to talk to you and then realize you still don't have friends

Just more yummy food for you!
