Today, I finally got around to writing my Christmas cards. After finishing, I realized I had written "Happy Birthday" instead of "Merry Christmas" on every single one. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I wrapped all my Christmas gifts at midnight. In my exhaustion, I forgot to label them. On Christmas morning, everyone will open presents while I try to remember who was supposed to get socks versus who was supposed to get a coffee maker. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents for various people; 17 to be exact. It wasn't until I placed the last present on top of the stack that I realized I didn't put gift tags on any of them. FML
Today, I spent an hour writing 80 thank you cards to everyone who attended my graduationg party. After carefully personalizing each one and sealing them shut, I realized I did not mark the envelopes with names. FML
Today, I noticed that even though I got all my Christmas shopping done a month earlier than usual, I forgot to put anything in the mail. FML
Today, after many days of messing around with wording and pictures, a huge and expensive printed card order came in to the office. I spelled the first word wrong. I can't get a refund. FML
Today, I was doing a little victory jig after finally sending out the last of the invitation cards for my wedding when I realised that I had forgotten to put the date of the event on them. FML
Today, I sent a christmas card to my husband's uncle and aunt. I'd forgotten that the uncle died last year. FML
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, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, I made a digital contact card for my department that needed to be sent to payroll. Since we didn't have one before, I sent a copy to the rest of the department to use if they wanted. I didn't send the blank though. I sent 100s of people all of my contact info. Somehow, I managed to misspell my own name too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

to the shitface who says his aunt died on 666, youre an idiot. she died on 06-06-06. get it straight. along with thousands of other people who died and were born. stop trying to find meaning behind nothing :)

That is why I always write in crayon, if something is screwed up I blame the kids ;)

I can see myself making the same mistake, but I'd probably catch myself before writing that on all the cards.

I like #1. He IS the reason for the season. :) If you're so mad we call it a "Christmas tree", then should we call your Menorah a "holiday candle"? ;)

Too bad Jesus was born in march, I'm pretty sure Christmas and Jesus being born on the 25th a pagen belief, originally. So technically it isn't his birthday.. Honestly idk why we celebrate in December but it's too late to change it now, after hundreds of years of celebration. Whatever. Christmas Is so overrated. It sounds like I'm saying the glass is half empty..but really I'm just saying you need a smaller glass and you'll be good. Idk if this makes sense, I just got back from a party..
