Today, I bought a $3000 HD camera. It never shipped to my house, so I was concerned. I then realized I had given the seller the address for a house in California. I live in Maine. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, Amazon delivered an item I need urgently for air travel later in the day. To the wrong address. From the photo, I could see which house they had delivered it to. They weren't home, but a camera was pointing at the item. My behaviour was indistinguishable from that of a porch pirate. FML
Today, I ordered a surveillance camera for my home. The package got stolen after being delivered. I think they're onto me. FML
Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML
Today, a "friend" tried to sell me a digital camera that I recognized that was stolen from my home a week earlier, along with a few other things. FML
Today, I found out that when buying my $500 dollar dress I put my address as Austria instead of Australia. FML
Today, I received my camera in the mail that my mom sent from home since I forgot it when I moved to Italy. It was wrapped in 4 layers of bubble wrap and packed in foam peanuts to keep it from getting broken. As I was removing the last layer of bubble wrap I dropped it, breaking the screen. FML
Today, the package I've waited for months for finally arrived. It turned out it wasn't for me, but for my sister, who bought the same thing only 2 weeks ago. When I called, the company told me they received my payment, but that there were no more of the item in stock. FML
Today, I learned that last week, the UPS man gave my package to my neighbor for safekeeping. It was over five-hundred dollars' worth of merchandise. My neighbor left for Canada on Saturday. FML
Today, I went to work 300 miles away from where I live. I couldn't find my customer's address, so I decided to call him. I'd picked up my wireless house phone instead of my mobile. FML
Today, I was so tired that I thought the item I'd ordered a few months ago had been delivered then stolen, so I emailed the company about it. When I checked back on the website, I realized it hadn't actually been delivered yet and I read the invoice wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When FML can't track the person's location, it defaults to France.

Hm. YOU just called people IDOTS instead of IDIOTS. Who, exactly, needs an education? :p

then how was this posted in France u dumb butt
eMo_gurll200 0
You're the IDIOT you can't even spell it right. Oh the irony. And besides this says that it was from Nord-Pas-de-Calais. So save your horrible spelling for someone who cares. And if you're posting an FML from a cell phone or iPod it will default it to France if it cannot detect a location.

"did you never had an education?" seems like you're the one that needs an education dumbass.learn to think before you speak.

FMLs sent from a mobile location (cell phone) default to France. Don't tell the OP where they live... seriously... your ignorance is showing.
Kattfan 0
yeah, cuz not watching what you write really means you dont have any education...

whoa you look like a cerial killer, i would get that face checked out if i were you. i've always been against plastic surgery but now i know for some people it's more of a necessity...do they even let you out in public without supervision? you're a joke and your life's a mistake. if i were you i would have killed myself years ago. your face encompasses the entire concept of an fml, go **** yourself

That location is FML's default. So if someone submits with a phone or anything where we can't detect their location, that's what it uses.

When you send an FML from a mobile device and it can't detect where you are, it defaults to France.

and when you send an FML via a mobile device and spend $3000 on a camera without checking the shipping address, people default to thinking you're a dick.

are you an idiot though? i think we'll go with yes, dumbass. stop being so judgmental. so what? its the freaking default. just feel bad for the OP for making an expensive mistake, hes only human. you're sure as hell not perfect, you're a douchebag. cut the guy a break then go and make some friends.

It automatically says France when it cant figure out where you're actually posting from, because the website is based there. He probably posted it from an iphone or something

No, the default location is France, this is originally a French site...

Hmm, there is a Maine in France aswell.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of searching through Madison Wisconsin to pick up a girl to give her a ride to pitsburg for a wedding that had no clue where she had been living for the past 3 months. I actually had to say to her, " Is there a peice of mail anywear in your house for you or your roomate..... READ THAT ADDRESS AND TELL ME WHAT IT IS!" She was a little flighty. for #7

This makes no sense. It sounds like he just happened to send it to some random house in Cali...and it says he's from France. This is ridiculous!

the site automatically makes France your location if you don't enter it.

wow, this has fake written all over it. u say u had it shipped to cali, when u live in maine. first off how do you **** that up? secondly, it says you live in France, my suggestion? dont try to get people to feel sorry for you cuz u make a complete idiot out of urself
eMo_gurll200 0
Hun, you're the idiot. AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SAID, FML defaults the location to France if they can't find the location because it is a French website. Would you rather people assume you're a moron by not saying anything or prove it by speaking?
