Today, I was moving to my new apartment. I left some furniture outside as I drove to dump the first load at my new place. When I got back, everything was gone. Apparently, today is the day the donation truck was coming around to take everything we don't need. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I packed all my clothes in a black garbage bag, so I could easily move them to my new house. When I came back outside to load it into my car, the bag was missing, and all I could see was a garbage truck driving away with the week's trash. FML
Today, my roommate of a year and good friend of several more decided to move out. When I came home from a long work shift, I found all the cupboards emptied out of everything, including all the new stuff I bought to replace what she was going to take with her. FML
Today, I went to Houston to help with hurricane relief and to donate supplies. Later, I realized that I'd accidentally donated a bag that had my brand new truck keys in it. I've been waiting for 5 hours already to find it. FML
Today, I ran out of moving boxes so I used a few garbage bags to pack up my clothes. My new roommate decided to be helpful by putting those green garbage bags in the dumpster. It was garbage day. FML
Today, when leaving my apartment, I instantly noticed there was a giant dump truck in our lot, which turned out to be directly behind my car. After making a 20-point escape from my parking space and getting to work late, my roommate texts me, "DUDE guess what I got last night." A giant dump truck. FML
Today, my roommate was packing up her kitchen stuff as she prepared to move out. Apparently that included the majority of things I bought last week to replace all of her stuff she is taking. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, my ex-roommate, who decided to move out when my other roommate and I told her we didn't want a giant dresser for her dogs' clothes and stuff in the dining room, took the door knob out of the door to her former bedroom and threw some of my things in the recycling bin. FML
Today, I just got a new assignment for the moving company I work for. Two weeks ago my fiancé dumped me and I moved out of the house. Almost all of the furniture was mine and it took forever. The new moving assignment I have is moving her new boyfriend into my old house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're moving without help? How could you place your furniture outside, not have a friend watch it and actually expect it to still be there when you return? I think this shoulda been common sense.

Well... At least you donated it to someone who will really need it

Time to go thrifting? Let out your inner Macklemore and get that furniture back

There has to be a way to explain it to the donation agency and get your stuff back.

You should take your advice to heart #45.

Davewilliams78 - You should CHAIR the meeting on puns, seeing that you're such an expert.

They come when you least expect it..

Time to take people's donation lolz
Pesticides 19
well you figured out that they take donations. good job!
not_a_robot 15
I thought that they had to come and ask you what you were donating before taking anything. They basically just stole it. Downvote me if you please but I call B.S. until I hear more.
tiptoppc 21
Those damn inquisitive spanish!

He did a surprise good thing. Something similar kinda happened to me. We sat out a bunch of old TVs to be thrown away and they got picked up.
sjonnemans 3
that is similar in no way whatsoever... man, you are on a roll with bad comments! u a troll?
MissMae93 23
But... What if OP really needed that furniture? Speaking from a broke student's perspective - cheap, new furniture is very hard to come by!

Knowing how society is today, it will probably go to some drug junkie or alcoholic who won't even attempt to get a job and lives on welfare. At least OP would have had good use for it.
Danielle7994 18
...What kind of a society do you live in 68??
teresa96706 29
@ #68: yes I totally agree, because in today's economy all the non druggies have jobs, and they're are all rich enough to buy those brand new leather couches they always dreamed of. That was sarcasm by the way.
ScaryGamer 6
I didnt mean similar in the fact that he needed it. Just that we actually didn't know pickup day was that day. Not a troll. Just really bored on a road trip
tgagliano95 15
I think OP is the one that really needed it
tiernang 21
They must have been fast to get it all before you got back.

Well I'm sure they can give it back to you since you actually do need it.
illegalbeagle69 23
But the people who the furniture is being donated to don't actually need it.. that makes sense. Not saying he shouldn't get it back, just saying your logic is.. dumb.
Emily062611 6
I think you interpreted this differently than I did. I was assuming it was more meant as "Since you now have no furniture and you obviously are in need, they don't need to feel weird about giving it to you because that's their purpose", as opposed to "You are the only one who needs furniture."
Brock_Dudeson 11
Well did you get the stuff back?
ohjoy15 33
I'd stare at the furniture for weeks with unbearable guilt knowing that I took it back from charity. But I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Do what you have to do OP!!
emilyjgraham 34
64, fair enough if he did give it to charity but he didn't. I don't think he should feel guilty as he didn't donate then change his mind.

Some people live in areas where theft is not much of a problem. Op may have lived in the county, or in a small town. Not everyone even has to bother locking their doors at night.

#22 - Crime happens everywhere. Don't be one of those people that leaves the car running when they go into the store, then complains their car was stolen.
KiddoKS 19
22... Lots of things can happen to it other than getting stolen also. Depending on where it was, someone might have thought it was out for garbage and took it, birds could poop on it, it could start raining. It's just not smart to leave your belongings unattended.

Where I'm from it's not theft. You leave it on the sidewalk and it's fair game for anyone who wants/needs it.
imtooshy 18
Theft or an accident....pretty sure we're all feeling a pinch or two from this recession so most are gonna jump at anything that appears free.
xInwex 12
I live in the biggest city in my province and have never had a problem with theft. Everyone in my neighborhood is always leaving their shit out or not locking things up. Bikes and expensive lawn furniture especially. All that aside, 41 makes an excellent point!

Well, now you won't have to make as many trips!
