Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. 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 the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML
Today, I gave my friend a $5 VR set that I purchased from the dollar store for Christmas. I received a $60 gift card. Later, I realized I left the receipt in the package. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend wrote 50 dollars on my gift card just to look generous, it's really only worth five. I found this out after I tried to buy an arm full of clothes. FML
Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML
Today, I found the birthday card my grandma had mailed. Apparently, it contained a gift of $100. Too bad it was in my mom's trash can, opened, with no money. She told my grandma it must have gotten lost in the mail. FML
Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML
Today, at 4:00 a.m., I woke up and realized that I had thrown an expensive gift certificate for a friend in the garbage. Since it was garbage day, I ran out in the rain in my pajamas and rifled through all three bags of garbage. Twice. I found the gift certificate. It was in my pocket. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and my coworkers gave me a $75 gift card to a restaurant chain near my house. Later in the evening, I found out the chain of restaurants abruptly closed. All of them. FML
Today, I hid my credit card from myself so I wouldn't use it. Now I can't find it. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

if someone gave me a $400 gift card, I would have been out shopping as soon as they left. What was your plan here?

Seriously it's your own damn fault.. if I received a $400 gift card I'd definitely spend it before, instead of "losing it" (i.e. probably being too friggin' rich to even notice you misplaced it)

I guess a $400 gift card wasn't important enough to keep in your wallet/purse. That sucks, but there is a lesson to be learned...

How did it end up under your bed? Did you try to have sex with the person that gave that to you? How could you do that to Gammy?

Agreed. Plus the similarity to plexico's username suggests he's just trying to get people to notice his username and assume it's pleixco. But I agree. Not funny.

Oh my, I knew a lot of people here had massive sticks wedged up their arses on FML, but it seems they've gathered here to pick on Perdix! Instead of telling him that he's not funny, why don't you spend that wasted effort trying to come up with something clever of your own to say? Assuming your brains will allow this, I mean.

I never said that I myself was a funny person. I merely observed that perdix was not. I'm allowed to have an opinion, no?

EDIT: deleted. :)

That was not an opinion. That was you assuming Perdix was clamouring for attention.

Hey leave poor perdix alone! He usually is pretty funny, jelous much?

Thanks, Starfire and Witchy! I know they all can't be winners -- I get some hits, I get some misses. What tickles me is sometimes I'll write a comment that I find vaguely amusing, but others love it. That's what makes it fun. I'll keep you two in mind as I comment on!

Comment away, dear Perdix!

I never ASSUMED anything. I merely pointed out the similarity between the two names, suggesting it as a possibility. And I'm certainly not jealous. Never said he wasn't ever funny, I just didn't find that comment humurous. No need to get all worked up about it.

Who's worked up? Pretty sure I was calm when I replied. No one else looks bent out of shape, either.

Even if the company went out of business they HAVE to pay you out because a gift certificate is bought with money, so you are to receive a product. It's the law =P
