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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the two weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML
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 caught my boyfriend cheating right after I maxed out my credit card buying him everything on his Christmas list. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to pick up a few things from the store for him while he was at work. After picking up everything he asked for, I wasn't left with much money so I used $50 from my account. When he got home he then grumbled about me spending all of "his" money. FML
Today, I turned on my boyfriend's computer and saw pictures of all of my credit cards, front and back, and several of my parent's credit cards. I looked in his e-mail and found receipts for items which had been billed to me and delivered to him, including golf clubs and my birthday gift. FML
Today, I found out my husband has racked up $3000 on our credit cards, and ruined my credit score. When confronted, all he had to say was, "Well you didn't tell me when you bought that ten-dollar t-shirt, so I guess we're even." FML
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
Today, my boyfriend came over with a broken engraved bracelet that I paid 50 dollars for. I was angry but when I stated, "I'm going to call them and get a new one!" my boyfriend said back to me, "No it's okay, I didn't really like it anyways." It was for our two year anniversary. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow. What a cheapo. But how could you get an armful of clothes for 50$? Do you shop at Goodwill?

Haha, That's awesome. It's not the end of the world, but it's probably the end of a boyfriend. Guys are cheap and women are too expensive.

I think OP is on the complete wrong track, nevermind the fact the gift card was valued way higher than it was. how unoriginal is it to get a bf/gf a gift card.

I got my boyfriend a gift card for Christmas. But then that was so he can buy Mass Effect 2 when it comes out in a month or so. Maybe she said that she wanted new clothes, and so he didn't get the size/style wrong he got her a giftcard and she can buy what she wants?

But you can always pre-order it and pay it off at Gamestop... >_>; I'm pretty sure they are taking pre-orders for it anyways. It is a fairly popular game, so it is not uncommon that they would take pre-orders far in advance.

Ya right who has 5$ giftcards? You can't buy an arm full of clothes from anywere except goodwill which is for welfare people or black people.Get a job and go shop at Chanel like me.

many places let you specify the amount you want to put on a giftcard. and there are plenty of places where you can get an armful of clothes for $50. besides, i'd rather shop at walmart or goodwill and get my money's worth than throw away hundreds of dollars on "designer" clothes.

Exactly!

there are people who shop at good will who are not on welfare. and black people, who aren't different from anyone else, shop at other places, not just good will. armful can mean a few articles of clothing drapedover your arm. aero has stuff for like $12 nowadays, so 3 or four things like that can be an armful. stores like old navy can probably be cheaper. not everyone needs to wear stuffy, overrated clothes like chanel.

I can get an armful of clothes for $50 at Forever 21.. I was there the other day and got several V-necks for $4.50 each. sheesh. That's not really the point of the FML, though - perhaps she was buying more than $50 worth of clothing and using it to reduce the price. Either way, confront your boyfriend? Just say "Hey - the giftcard said $50 but when the cashier rang it up, it said $5!" His response can determine whether you dump him or get your giftcard situation fixed.

Same, I went shopping the other day I got runners,2 flip flops, 2 leggings, 2 pairs of sodas (shoes), 4 t-shirts, 2 pairs of jeans for around 50 bucks

Is it sad that my first thought was that the cashier pocketed the $45 difference?
