Today, I received the $30 parking pass that I ordered over 4 weeks ago. My class is only 4 weeks long, and next week is the last week. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked a traffic cop if it was okay to park my car briefly in a 'Monday to Friday only' parking spot, since it's Saturday. She politely replied I could. I came back less than ten minutes later, only to find a parking ticket stuck to my windshield. FML
Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, my new passport arrived, along with my expired one and its 20-year-old picture. I was comparing the photos when my husband came to look. He laughed and said, "Time is cruel." FML
Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. It's OK, though, she says we can still go on the vacation I planned next month for our 3 year anniversary, just "as friends." The tickets are non-refundable. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He told me one of my lights was busted, and I couldn't help but point out that one of his was out too. He said, "Thanks, I'll get that fixed right away." then gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Seems more like you waited until the last minute to order it.

Well he ordered it over a week in advance. Seems like enough time to me...

Contact the company and ask for a refund.

Did you ever talk to someone about not receiving it in the mail?

I'm also wondering why (or if) OP didn't walk into the office responsible for campus parking permits and talk to someone. Parking at my university was a nightmare, and campus police were notorious for writing a lot of parking tickets, so there's no way I would've waited for my permit to come in the mail after the term began.

I know the feeling OP

You can probably get a refund on it if you talk to the school if it's on them. Or if your school charges for parking, they may just reimburse what you spent. Good luck either way OP!

Can you return it? I believe I still have $25 dollars on my parking card for my local community college...and I can't withdraw it so I know how you feel

Only $30?? That's so cheap. Be grateful you're not in Minneapolis, where $300/month parking is common.

Yeah except that he had to pay on top of it since he didn't have the pass on time. No matter how cheap it is, if you order something for a certain period of time, the least they you should do is send it in a timely manner.

$30 sounds nice. At my school it's over $100 each quarter. Because, you know, we're not paying enough tuition as it is.

This happened to me at school as well

You ordered it a week in advance and expected it to arrive before your class started?
