Today, I camped outside of a Best Buy to guarantee I'd get a cheap Blu Ray player. My friend who got there five minutes after they opened also managed to get one. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had one more gift to buy: a copy of Fight Club. I asked a person working at Best Buy if they had any in stock. The man wouldn't sell me the last copy because I had broken the first two rules. FML
Today, I had a promo code for a free Redbox movie. Since I knew exactly which movie I wanted, I parked in a handicapped space because it was super close and I was cold. I didn't think anyone would notice, but apparently the cop that parked beside my car did. My free movie cost me $100. FML
Today, I went out and bought a copy of Black Ops 2. I got home and opened the case, only to see the game disk was missing. When I went back to the store to complain, the guy at the desk accused me of trying to pull an old scam on him. FML
Today, I bought a brand new flat screen TV. When I brought it home it didn't work. Furious, I walked into Best Buy and yelled at a guy in a tucked in blue polo and khakis. I asked him why it didn't work and he said he didn't know. I kept screaming. He didn't have a nametag. He didn't work there. FML
Today, I walked into Best Buy to buy a 42" widescreen TV I'd been saving up for many months. As I walked in, a man stopped me and handed me my wallet that I'd accidentally dropped. I thanked him. Five minutes later at the checkout, I opened up my wallet to realize it was empty. He had stolen everything. FML
Today, at the supermarket where I work, we had at least 40 people waiting outside for us to open our doors at 7:00 a.m. FML
Today, someone took my flatscreen TV at my garage sale because some kid snuck a "free" label onto it. FML
Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML
Today, I found out my old DVD player is jealous of my Blu-ray player. It fell from the top of my closet and hit me in the head. FML
Today, I went to a movie with this guy. He was late so the only seats available were the ones in the very front which he refused to sit in. As we were looking for two seats, he spotted one near the back and sat down, leaving me to sit by myself in the front. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't understand the point of camping outside of a store.

Camping out for black friday almost never works. Get used to it.

Selfish much? shouldn't you be happy that your friend was also able to get a good deal on a blu ray player and stay warm?? Ugh. You sound like an amazing friend :/ And this whole freezing outside all night to wait for the Special blu ray is Karma for your crappy friendship abilities.. just my opinion ;-)

I agree why wouldn't you be happy that your friend got one too, maybe if it was your enemy who got one 5 minutes after it opened you could complain on fml.

I think his FML was about him not knowing they were in the line near him, and he could have been spending the night hanging out with them rather than alone, and still gotten the Blu ray player

# 84 I think You are confused hun, He clearly states that his friend arrived 5 minutes AFTER they opened and still managed to get the same Blu Ray player...

Comma was not needed after cheap.

Maybe the OP camped out at Best Buy to guarantee himself a cheap, but is also choosing to address us, the FML community, as "Blu Ray player".

The 2 reasons one doesn't buy a PS3 instead of a Blu-ray player, are because they're an idiot or an X-box Fanboy.

Why would you camp out at an electronics store? They're aware it's the biggest shopping day of the year, they're obviously going to prepare for it. Not only that, but it's remarkably easier and more convenient to purchase items online during holiday sales. There's no waiting, and they have warehouses full of the crap.

That is not true, stores intentionally under stock on the Black Friday "great deal" items because a lot of people will work on the mentality that since they are already there anyway they may as well buy something even if it's more expensive. That is why every one of those sales has a "while supplies last" tag.

not really actually most stores use major sales like this to get rid of old out of date merchandise to make room for the new up to date stock they are going to order

hooray capitalism!

@52 My mother worked as a buyer for stores, and I've worked a retail quite a bit myself, and a big part of the black Friday sales is to get the Hot New Items that they know everybody wants, get extremely limited amounts, and then advertise the huge sales on those items. Yes, they get rid of out of date stock but that is not the main thing.
