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.

Maybe they want you to drink it, since it's 70-proof.

It's ruder to have halitosis that offends all of your colleagues. Did you not know? Do you brush your teeth? Eat a lot of smelly food? Take some kind of medication that gives you bad breath? I don't know, but I'd check it out, use that mouthwash, and invest in strongly minted gums. :P

at least it has alcohol in it? maybe someone was leaving you a birthday drink, assuming your turning 21.

Some people have ridiculously bad breath and don't know it - maybe that's you - if it is they did you a favor buddy, how do you expect to hook up with hot ladies with halitosis??

Actually if people were trying to tell the OP that they had bad breath I think this was the best way to go about it, less embarrassment overall.
