Today, I had to drop off my library book. I thought I'd dropped in into the library book drop, but I'd accidentally put it in the post office mail box. To get the book back, I had to explain this incident five times to three librarians, a mailman, and my sister who called me ridiculous. FML

Can't wait for the follow up. It could close the book on this FML for good.

In my part of Ohio, dropping a library material in the post box leads to it getting sent to the library. Sucks to be you, my friend.

Good thing you didn't just book it after you realized the mistake!

Hahaha I'm the OP. The comments are hilarious! :) The post office mailbox and the library book drop aren't right next to each other. They are near each other, but far away enough to easily distinguish which one is which. One is blue and the other is grey, so my mistake is even more pathetic LOL.

Should have told people you're colourblind. May not have worked with your sister, obviously. Plus I'd assume there's big signs.

Why would someone lie about an eye condition

Easier to fake than other ailments?

I fell asleep while reading your FML earlier. I had a really intense dream about it. I won't go into detail but library books aren't the only thing you are good at shoving

I'm not colorblind, and I don't want to lie about something just to look less stupid to the librarians and the mailman. Doesn't seem right to me. I'm going to the library tomorrow.. I really hope the mailman returned the book for me hahaha

So did it get returned?

The mailman is the only one who could have opened the mailbox for you. Why did you keep trying to explain it to the librarians?

Probably so they knew to expect the book back from the mailman. If this may have made it late, it's also just good manners to tell them.

must only read the books, not the signs

1. put book in 2. realize mistake just as book slips too far to grab at 3. go to library and say "That book was just so good I'm going to buy it thanks!" 4.walk away- that never happened- what book?
