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.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

No biggie, just explain to them that you have a problem controlling your emotions so you tore up some important documents they sent you.

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!

everyone who thinks that ripping up the admission was over-dramatic is obviously not a pilot.

way to go... you should know that you don't tear up documents not matter what they're for. You never know when you might need them again.

... looks like their selection process is still working... Instructor: "Where is your flight logbook?" OP: "Oh, you said some of the entries weren't perfect, so I tore it up."

... but the good news for OP is that re-filling in forms that were only recently compiled usually takes much less time than the first time through. And for the harder questions, you could tape those pages back together and copy from them.

Navigator: "Where the heck is the map???" OP: "Oh I didn't like all that turd-brown color, so I tore it up."

Mechanic: "Where are the WINGS?" OP: Oh, they refused to barrel-roll the way I wanted, so I tore them off!"

Instructor: "Why haven't you pulled your rip-chord???" OP: "I *told* the quartermaster I didn't want a rectangular parachute - so I tore it up!" Instructor: "mm-hmm - selection process is still working..."
