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.

Harsh, but at least now you can sort out your apparent bad-breath problem?

Would you have liked it better if everyone forgot your birthday, it's the thought that counts. And maybe mouth wash was on sale......

A little passive-agressive, but trust that they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't needed. I might add, brushing and mouthwash will NOT be enough. You need to floss as well. Daily. With a fluoride dental floss. DAILY. And if anyone offers you gum or a breath mint, take it.

It seems apparent that you probably need it, but it probably would have been better if they would have mentioned something before the day they did that. Just to mess with them, I would gargle it very loud right there at the desk and spit it into the most commonly-used trashcan at the place. If someone asks what you are doing, tell them you are taking the hint and wanted to use the new gift right away!
