Today, as my friend was rudely rummaging through my phone, she saw a picture of the pottery I've painted her for Christmas. Not only did she see it, but she also declared it ugly. That's probably the present I'm the most proud of this Christmas. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. I presented her with an oil painting of her that I'd been working on for over a month, and she started to cry. I thought it was because she liked it, until she asked if she really looks that ugly and disproportionate in real life. FML
Today, I spent the whole night and day painting a portrait of my girlfriend. Being proud of it, I sent it to her hoping she would appreciate it. I spent hours working on that picture only for her to reply with, "That's not me, is it?" FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, my roommate asked for my opinion of her new painting. The same painting I hand-painted for over ten hours. She apparently thought it was a gift. She won't give it back. FML
Today, I spent hours hand-painting an awesome design on a gift for a friend. My husband was supposed to assemble it when I finished, but when I stepped back to admire my work, he informed me that the whole thing was sideways. He watched me paint it. FML
Today, my wife sold her first painting and was so proud of herself, until she found the buyer online and realized his YouTube page is full of videos where he paints over horrible art and turns it into good art. Her painting was on it, and yes, he visibly improved it and yes, my wife is raging at me. FML
Today, my toddler proudly presented me a "beautiful drawing" he'd made... on my freshly painted living room wall. When I started to scold him, he said, "But I made it for YOU, Mommy!" Now I feel guilty for being mad at Picasso Jr, and having to paint over it. FML
Today, my daughter wore my favorite Christmas sweater to an ugly sweater party. FML
Today, I won a raffle organised by a friend. I discovered one of the "prizes" was actually a present that I had given to her, that she had "loved". When I asked her where she had gotten it, she said, "Oh, just some crap someone gave me once." She didn't even remember that I had given it to her. FML
Today, I was texting an artist friend telling her I wanted to buy her paintings; going on and on about how much I wanted it and loved the way they looked and couldn't wait to have them. I realized my phone had corrected paintings to panties. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't worry about it, OP. Your friend is uglier than your pottery, personality-wise.

It's the thought that counts. And after reading this, I thought your friend was a twat.

Don't worry, whether they appreciate it or not it's still a lovely gesture. Your friend is also an ass. But that sounds like a cute gift idea never the less!

Send it to me instead. I'd love some art for christmas instead of the usual bodylotions and showergels.

She shouldn't snoop through your phone, but honestly, she probably didn't know you made that pottery and that her honesty would hurt your feelings. Giving self-made presents is a tricky bussiness, you know. But think positive: now you can give that pottery to someone who really likes it (why not yourself, tbh?) and you can buy your friend a gift she'll really appreciates. Or bake cookies, you can't do anything wrong with that.

You didn't see how's reindeer cookies turned out last year. Yes, things can go wrong with cookies rofl. They tasted good but none of us could eat them without busting into hysterics first.

1. Say "this is the Christmas present for you." 2. Change the Christmas present. 3. Quit a relationship with her. 4. Suddenly God comes and then help you.

I fed this through my Idiot-English Translation Engine, and the damned thing shorted out. For everyone's sake, PLEASE stop huffing asphalt fumes just prior to commenting.

You should still be proud of it op. Give it to someone who deserves it. Just because she thinks it is ugly doesn't mean someone else won't appreciate it.

The gesture is lovely but not everyone shares your same taste in art. Especially home made stuff. Is it best for your friend to secretly lie about something she hates? Ex: I have many knitted sweaters from my Nana. I had to pretend to love them. Little white lies all for the sake of sparing her feelings since I know she worked so hard on them. :P
