Today, it’s my birthday. At work, at my desk, I found this beautiful gift-wrapped box and a card that read, “From all of us, we really care about you, and hope you like your present!” I opened the box. It had body shower gel, deodorant, soap, fragrance spray, and “frizz shampoo.” Hint taken. FML

Today, while teaching English in Korea, my boss gave me a birthday present from her and all of my co-workers. It was a really fancy box. It had very nice wrapping. It had a pretty bow. It was kind of heavy. It was 6 bottles of dandruff shampoo. FML

Birthday blues
Today, it's my birthday. I lit my birthday candles on the cake I made myself and blew them out alone, while my worthless husband sat on the couch stuffing Doritos in his face. My present? He sprayed Lysol in the bathroom after he took a dump. FML

Thanks, I guess…
Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML

Today, it is mine and my twin sister's birthday. We both wanted a day at the spa for our birthday. My sister got a gift certificate to the spa, while I got mouthwash and a $20 gift card to Target. My mom said it would cost too much to make me also pretty. FML

Oh gosh
Today, I noticed a strange mark on the inside of my mouthwash bottle. As I was bending down to investigate, my hands tightened around the bottle and mouthwash squirted in my eye. It still burns. FML

The big bow is a nice touch.

Either it's a gag gift or someone really is sending you a message in a hostile way.

At least you now know about your bad breath and can change your flaw. Maybe they were just trying to save you from further self-humiliation. Don't be upset, just take the hint and use the mouthwash. =D

Hint much? I can't help but feel there's something sexual behind this, but maybe that's just me. Bows can make almost anything look classy. Except mouthwash.

You will thank them in ten years when your gums aren't rotting.

Did you know that BRUSHING YOUR TONGUE REMOVES BAD BREATH?! There are a shit-ton of people in the world who know this not, and I am disgusted by each and every one of you. You don't need mouthwash for minty-fresh breath. YDI for not understanding basic hygiene.

YDI for improper oral hygiene.

Oh come on, no-one deserves this on their birthday, it's a bit harsh! Just take it as someone trying to help you out in a poorly thought out, not wanting to confront you kind of way? and uh.....Happy birthday!
