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.

I'm guessing few of the previous commentors have had much experience in dealing with bureaucratic red tape. The government doesn't often "understand" such things.

Ummm... They got blown into a propeller? I really got nothing here... Skydivers aren't know for their patient demeanor. They should know that.

YDI for being a tantrum throwing little bitch!

Why assume they were throwing a tantrum. Those documents have personal/private information on them and should be shredded/ torn up before being thrown away. The OP thought they were rejected and no longer needed the documents so they got rid of them. There may have been no tantrum involved.

It's easy to assume op threw a tantrum. If op thought they didn't need the documents they probably would have added "I tore up my documents b/c I thought I no longer needed them" or something of the sort. And if it been for that reason, it wouldn't be an fml b/c it would have been understandable.

No, it would still be an FML because they would still be in the unfortunate position of having to recompile all of the paperwork.

I am sure they will have extra copies! Just explain to them what happened, I am sure they will understand.
