Today, I've been waiting for a very important document in the mail. It has been two months. I reviewed my application and realized I forgot to put a mailing address down. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I rushed to the post office to mail an important document for the study abroad program that I'd applied for, which was due in a few days. Just as the envelope slipped out of my hand and into the mail box, I caught a glimpse of the upper right corner where there was supposed to be a stamp. FML
Today, after waiting 3 months to see if I got the job I had applied for, I was told that they never received my application. Turns out that the email address that they told me to send it to was not being checked anymore and that they would be happy to consider me for the following year. FML
Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML
Today, I called in about a job application I put in over a week ago. Apparently, the branch of the company that I applied to was never given my information, and the position was filled days ago. I've been checking the status of the position online daily, and it still says that it's open. FML
Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML
Today, I noticed that even though I got all my Christmas shopping done a month earlier than usual, I forgot to put anything in the mail. FML
Today, while checking my voicemail, I noticed I had received one from a job that I've been trying to get in for months. Too bad they called two weeks ago. FML
Today, after moving to a new house my life has fallen apart, paperwork lost, appointments missed, job offers rescinded, and now I know why. The postbox by my new house isn’t in use, so four months worth of the letters I've posted are sitting uncollected inside it. It even has a big "Not in use" sign on it. FML
Today, I wrote an email for a job offer. I checked it, double-checked it, triple-checked it, and then sent it. It's only THEN that I realised my CV wasn't attached. FML
Today, I realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's why you go all psycho ocd on important stuff and check it 100 times.

Checking 100 times is a bit excessive. 99 times should suffice.

But 99 isn't a big round number!

#33 may I suggest 88. It's round, symmetrical in all ways, and is divisible by all single digit even numbers.

What about 6?

Hate it when that happens. Mistakes are part of being human. Better luck next time OP.

Serious FYL next time make sure to double check like crazy!
yourlifesucksHA 14
Lol he might after that!
HowieDoIt 21
That really sucks, but wouldn't the time for double checking be before you send in the important document?
HersheySquirts 17
Yes it would be. However, OP did not. After two months of waiting, I'm sure OP won't make the same mistake.

So are you going postal?

He's going all out UPS in this...

Woah this is a serious issue we need to address, let's stamp out these puns!

Regardless of the weight of this issue, I feel like I should be able to Express myself!

If it's so important then why did you forget??

Well you're already fitting in with the American way of life, a life full of derp moments.

Ironic that you say this, since it's an FML about the consequences of not double checking things. OP is from Canada.

I've seen Canadian publications use the term "American" when referring to Canadians. Not incorrect since they are on the North American continent too.

I don't know about you, but if I was Canadian, I'd be super pissed if someone called me American, knowing that I was Canadian. I'd be like, "Canada, bitch!" *slap*
gracehi 33
Although, OP's name is American Alien, so I'm guessing that OP is an American in Canada, waiting on an important document that has something to with him residing in a country as a foreign national.
sadistmonkey 19
Wouldn't you immediately apologize after the "Canada, bitch!"?

25 - So is Mexico, but you don't call Mexicans Americans.
gracehi 33
No. I'd be the rebel Canadian. Slappin' people, jay wakin', and putting recyclables in non-recyclable garbage. Yep, that'd be me. The bad ass rebel Canadian, livin' the bad ass rebel Canadian life.
