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.

Give it to her anyway, in person. If she wants to put her foot in her mouth, she should have to taste it.

If you haven't already told her who it was for, just wait until christmas and make sure you give it to her in person. Attaching an insult can't hurt either... "I made it ugly to suit your personality" or something. You can probably think of something much better; either way, make sure you embarrass her. Preferably in front of people.

Damn. That's like a stab through the heart especially since you made it for her. I want to know this, why were you letting her go through your phone? Next time set the screen lock on it to to 10 seconds. It works if it idle or not. Anyways I suggest giving someone that gift that'll appreciate it.

Keep it & give her a bag of coal!

Rude friends who root through other people's property, and make hasty judgements are not really good friends and certainly do not deserve treasured gifts. Time for a friend reassignment. New bestie in order.

Aw don't worry, your friend doesn't deserve it then give it to someone who will appreciate it and your friend can have a lump of coal instead lol

Well know you don't have to give her a present since she was being rude and a prude. :)

She must have realised it was important to you otherwise why have a picture of it in your phone? Give her another gift, if you think she deserves it, but make it a gift card or something equally impersonal. Then apologise for not getting her something nice but explain that when she saw the picture of the gift you'd made especially for her, she rubbished it. Tell her after that, you weren't confident that any gift you chose would be something she'd enjoy & appreciate. If she has any decency she will beg you to give her the hand made gift - which you will have already lovingly presented to someone else.
