Today, my college roomate and I received our first pieces of mail. We were very excited because our mailbox wasn't empty anymore. She got a package of home baked cookies in the mail from her family. I got a letter from a stranger in prison. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents told me that they received a letter from a prison. Being curious they opened it up and read the entire thing. It was from this girl I randomly met. Now I have a prison stalker and my parents think I date felons. FML
Today, one of my best friends and I both got mail. She got her wedding invites to send out; I got my divorce papers. FML
Today, I got a package in the mail from my girlfriend. I was really excited until I realized that it was just a box full things that I gave to her. FML
Today, I received an envelope with my name written in beautiful writing in my mailbox. I just moved in the day before and hadn't given the address to anyone or met my neighbors yet so I was a bit surprised by it, even more surprised to find nothing but a dick pic inside. FML
Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML
Today, I found a love letter in my mail. It was from a girl I met at a bar few weeks ago. I never gave her my address or last name. I guess I have a stalker now. FML
Today, while at the office, a surprise Valentine's gift arrived for me, the first I've ever received. It was a box of heart-shaped cookies. From my mother. I'm 39. FML
Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Today, I went home, where I live alone, from my dorm room at my university. The only Christmas cards I had received were addressed to the person that lived there before me. FML
Today, I got a package containing a present from my grandma. It was a pack of cookies someone gave her for her birthday, and which no one in the family wanted to take home when she offered, because we all found the cookies disgusting. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

a strange letter from prison is not an FML, it's an FTW! unless you have something against prisoners. huh? hater? hatin on the people in the pen? huh? you don't deserve letters from prison. Write the person back. Maybe it will stop a riot. And, while you're at it, get baked and eat your roommate's cookies. Then write to the prisoner.

If the letter was addressed TO YOU at your new place, you must have provided it to the prison (or someone else did). You may want to find out how the prisoner got your address.

Hopefully she shared the cookies with you...

Heh, I guess the letter from the prisoner was at least more interesting than homemade cookies. Write them back. How the heck did they get your address, anyway?

maybe someone at prison thought it would be a good joke to just write a letter and put some address on it. they may not know who exactly theyre writing to, ie. who lives there. however, if her name was written on the paper, as a means on addressing her, that would be disturbing then.

I can feel your excitement by those exclamation marks ;)
