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

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?

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

if you still have the gift card you can take it to your State Department of Finance and they will give you the cash back. When stores close they have to give the department a list of all outstanding gift cards and their values. Since someone gave the company money and you have a card worth that amount of money you are a unsecured debt holder to the company. Therefore the company owes you the value of your gift card. I got $250 from when Sharper Image closed here from the State.

So only women receive gifts? Why wouldn't a guy have a $400 gift card? I don't understand your reasoning.

Was it a chain? If they aren't I'd try to sell it on the street to an idiot (People would kill for it if you tried to sell it for like 200)
