Today, I had to call the Australian Passport office to track my passport. Turns out they lost it in the mail. A week ago, I got my dream job as a flight attendant. Without a passport they won't accept me. I lost my dream job before I even started it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML
Today, I was unable to go on my dream vacation because I thought I'd lost my passport. Feeling incredibly stupid, I had no choice but to watch my plane depart without me. Shortly after, my brother handed me passport, saying that since I wasn't going on my trip, I could use my refund to pay for his cat's surgery. My trip was non-refundable. FML
Today, my mental state went down another 2 levels when after 2 years of unemployment, I finally got offered a great job abroad. However, I probably won't even be able to go because I've reached the point where I'm too broke to even apply to get my passport made. FML
Today, I finally received my passport. Too bad my flight to Italy left last week. FML
Today, after 3 months of job hunting, I finally got a job. But now my birth certificate and social security card are somehow lost, and I can't start until I let them see a copy. FML
Today, I found out that my passport expired two days ago, two days before my first vacation abroad. I only found out when the airline employee scanned it at check-in, looked at me with sympathy, and said, "I don't think you're going anywhere today." My friends are currently posting beach photos while I'm filling out passport renewal forms. FML
Today, I picked up my passport, as my previous one was damaged in a car crash. As the teller warned me that a pattern of damaged passports would result in longer processing periods, she spilled her coffee - all over my new passport. I'm supposed to go overseas in a month. FML
Today, after spending 2 years saving for my flights, I was denied boarding due to issues with my passport. I heading straight to the embassy only to be told a replacement will take 8 days. The airline will only hold my place for 7. FML
Today, we had movers come in to take all of our stuff as the final step to our move to the States. We have our flight scheduled for tomorrow evening. Thing is, they accidentally took my carry-on bag without my knowledge. In that carry-on there was a little something called a passport. FML
Today, I found out my email hasn't been working for 10 days. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but it just so happens that a position opened up for my dream job while this was happening. I would have gotten the job, but instead they gave it to someone I just finished training. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh man that sucks!! Try to explain your situation to someone in charge and maybe they'll let you work?!

Can't you explain what happened to the airline that hired you? Shit happens and I'm sure they'll understand.

I think the funny part is the fact that your dream job is a flight attendant.

Is that was your dream job, shouldn't you have gotten a passport well in advance? It seems like you waited til the last minute to get it, and that's never a good idea.

You can get the government office to mail you a letter saying they lost it and a new one is on its way. Then maybe they will accept you.

If being a flight attendant is your dream job, I have to say I admire you. I'm really scared to fly :-(

Flight attendant was your dream job? Lol

ok firstly: the post office lost your passport not the passport office, secondly: all passports are sent via registered post therefore there are various tracking methods to see where the problem happened, thirdly: I know from EXPERIENCE that if the post office genuinely has lost your passport then the passport office WILL REPLACE THIS PASSPORT, and fourthly: if you were planning to go for a job as a flight attendant you should have already had a passport and fifthly if: your job is not understanding of these genuine circumstances then do you really want to work for them?

Wow, great job! Perhaps some day we will be flying together, because I want to be a pilot :D I hope the airline will hire you, even after the AusPost's minor lapse :) Good luck at, Qantas?
