Today, I tore up my airborne academy admission documents because my lab results weren't good enough. A few hours later, they called me to apologize for the misunderstanding, mine turned out to be perfect and they'd accepted me. They need me tomorrow with all the documents to finalize the admission.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got an email back at 3 a.m. from a university I applied for, saying that I got in on a provisional basis. That provision was that I had to provide certain documents to prove my prior learning. The due date for the documents was yesterday. FML
Today, after constantly checking my email for a week, I finally got a letter saying that I was accepted to take a test for a job position. The only problem is I was scheduled to test today, eight hours ago. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML
Today, I got kicked out of university after missing/failing two exams on the same day, because I was told I could submit my family member's family emergency documents. Turns out, they didn't recognise it because of different last names. My parents never officially married, so couldn't prove it. FML
Today, I called the college of my dreams to check the status of my application. Turns out they "never received" copies of my transcripts. They did however cash the $70 application fee that was mailed with them. FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, my high school diploma came in the mail. I accidentally ripped the diploma while opening it. FML
Today, I was told that, although I was sick on the last day before break, they would still accept the 24 page essay that I had written. Tonight, as I went to print it out, I found that my dad had "cleaned up a bit" on my computer, including the documents from last semester. I have school tomorrow. FML
Today, I received a call from a top-rated university accepting me into the program of my dreams to begin my ultimate career. Two weeks ago, I accepted a permanent, full time and legally-binding job position in my depressive hometown because the school had previously rejected me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell them what happened. They were the idiots that made a mistake and it is their fault.

I can't because a few hours prior, my dictionary told me I wasn't good enough so I ripped all the pages up.

tape it back together and then make a photocopy and take that in to them. if they want the original tell them that you put it in a frame because you were so excited that you got accepted. I'm sure they'll take the photocopy then. just don't forget picture ID

It's good to know that someone with such a short fuse will soon have access to WMDs. I just hope I'm not around when you go on your demented rampage, Lee Harvey.

It may not have been a short fuse issue. It may have simply been the fact that those documents have personal information on them and the OP was throwing them out since they had been rejected and thought they no longer needed them. I shred or rip up anything with personal information on it before I throw it out.

not to mention that being airborne does not mean we have access to WMD's. it just means we are crazy enough to jump out of perfectly good aircraft with a shit ton of gear strapped to us.

I'd say I mistook the document for something else and accidentally tore it up. If you tell them you tore it up in anger, they'll take that as emotional instability and anger management issues. Trust me.

Don't worry, if you have been in the military for more than two minutes, you know that they have everything on digits. Just request another copy.

It looks like you're grabbing Bigbird's crotch.

My experience with the military and paperwork tells me that no one ever has a copy of anything on file, and you're lucky if they don't lose information you already gave them. I remember that it took 4 trips to finance, filling out the required forms and submitting a copy of my orders, before they finally got me into their systems. Now whenever I turn in a form, I make sure to have at least 2 extra copies.

I told 'em the truth, and after they blamed me harshly, They gave me only 3 days to recollect the papers I tore down, which btw took me 8 days to compile. And when I mentioned that, they retorted; if u wanna be a flier, u'll do it!

Tell them your dog got it and tore it up. i'm confused though.. Did they send you what you needed for admission and say you weren't accepted at the same time? That doesn't make sense..

There, now your learning a lesson. Don't count your chickens before they hatch. You should have waited a couple days before assuring yourself you were not accepted & tearing up your documents.

I'd figure a letter saying he is not accepted usually means he is not accepted no assurance necessary
