Today, I caught my mother attempting to write a $1400 cheque. To whom? The proprietor of a "Christian charity fund" with whom she had been having Internet conversations. The proprietor's name, and that on the cheque, was "Herp McDerpington". FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my mom has literally spent all her savings sending money to some bullshit-peddling megachurch televangelist, who apparently told her that giving them money would ensure her future fortune. Tithings, my ass. FML
Today, my wife handed over most of our son's college fund, in cash, to an investment scammer going by the name "Herp A. Derpson". FML
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, my nosy mom opened my mail and saw how much I have in my account. She confiscated my debit card because she’s convinced no one could save that much working part time at Burger King and is demanding I confess where so much money came from. I'm moving out. Fuck her. FML
Today, I overheard my mother Skyping with her new "boyfriend" about the $1,000 she just sent him. She barely knew what internet dating was three weeks ago. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, I called my mother to check up on her. Lately, she's been having some financial problems, so last week I sent her my last $100 to help her out until her next paycheck. She used the money to euthanize the family dog. FML
Today, I gave my mother a pre-prepared deposit envelope with my fortnightly wage in it, in cash. I tell her exactly where the deposit box is and what to do. I'm now desperately calling the bank because my mother accidentely put my $1200 deposit in the little trash can for receipts under the ATM. FML
Today, my sisters and I pitched together nearly $500 to send my mom to the spa for Mother's Day. We put the printed sheet with her info into a little box with our card on top. When she opened it, she freaked out and started hugging my dad. Turns out he switched the cards and took all the credit. FML
Today, my mother, who religiously checks her bank account after every purchase, then shreds her receipts, got fed up with me not doing the same. So she shredded all my piled up receipts. These include the 100s of dollars I had spent for my work, which I need the receipts to get reimbursed for. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I always wonder how blatant scammers get money. Now I realize there's always the one dumbass who falls for it.

Same thing happened to me. Except with less $. My mom was gonna send $30 to some dude who said he would send her a cd of some sort. He said his name was remmacs. Read that backwards...

Had a substitute in my robotics class and told him I was "Derp McHerpington" and he called me that for the month the sub was there.

At least you stopped her from being an idiot. Keep an eye on her in the future though.

Yes. May I suck your toes and massage your feet, your ever so highness.

Don't worry Perdix. This was only the 8th comment of the "Karate" and judging from the lovely picture Tab has, he/she finds toddlers playing with sex toys entertaining. They don't seem like people that we should trust the opinions of.

Perdix's comments win, it's not being a kiss-ass if it's true. Stop being trolls.

Someone please explain all this arrow in the knee thing please? Is it an american thing? Cause here in Ireland never is a reference made. Thanking you for reading and +1 for answering.

99- Its from Skyrim. A newer video game. It came out around the same time as MW3. Not only big in the states, its also big in Canada. :)

Goddamn Canadians..

99- its a reference to the guards in elder scrolls 5 skyrim. They have a reiterating dialogue which occaisonally say "i use to be an adventurer like you, but then i took an arrow in the knee." or somwthing along the lines. No it isnt just in the US Skyrim being one of the best games ever it is famous everywhere. Learn your facts bro.

Mr.Mcderptington is such a creative person.

I wonder how Mrs. McDerpington will take the news that her donation isn't coming?
yumgranolabar 5
People need to stop giving away money without researching where it's going.
Kyzahhh 7
She knew where the money was going... To good old herp
nattynatters 14
Yeah, my grandma has given like $4,000 total to several African princes. Some people have no tech sense... Or common sense.

6, To what extent do you think this should be done? Should we also be scrutinising the registered charities? Following the money all the way to the final destination? People don't have the time for that shit, some of us have jobs. Simply donating only to trusted sources and those who you actually have physical contact with should eliminate most issues. Anything beyond that is just time that could be better spent elsewhere.

Mwahhahaha. *stops and stares* How could she not see that was a total fake name? Guess she be herpin while she derpin.

Hahahaha
bacincheeseburge 9
But if it was a fake name, how would "Herp" have cashed it? Fake ID that says Herp? Fake bank account and a fake ID?
juturnaamo 29
Mr. McDerpington could endorse the check, and then he could cash it.
lifeisbullshiz 3
you can deposit it into an account as a "for deposit only" & they don't check ID's... so the person who is "Herp" could write that on the back of the check and into the account it goes....
ohSNAPyall 27
Herp should have asked her to write it out to Cash.
