Today, I had to pay a $150 late fee because my landlord didn't receive the rent check. My boyfriend had addressed the envelope to himself and put the landlord's as the return address. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that my building never received my rent check. Now not only do I have to pay a $40 late fee, but also a $40 fee to stop the payment of the check that went god knows where. FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, my landlord came and beat on my door demanding the rent check. I just got home from a trip and my wife was supposed to pay it while I was away. What happened to the money? Black Friday. FML
Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML
Today, I transferred rent to my landlord and realized I’d sent it to the wrong “Alex” in my contacts. My bank said the payment was already completed and they couldn’t reverse it without the other person’s permission. I had to message a guy I went on one awkward date with two years ago asking him to please send my rent money back. FML
Today, I received a surprise "absolute final notice" email for payment of an overdue fee from the university I withdrew from 6 months ago. Turns out, my old landlord has been hoarding their letters to me. As a result, my credit is now in the shitter and I had to pay an extra $120 in interest. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML
Today, I found out, through Facebook, that my landlord hadn't been paying the mortgage on the house I'm renting from him. It's going into foreclosure. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

nah just common sense how sad that people have forgotten how to address an envelope this day in age
roobear 2
I almost did this recently, as I almost never send snail mail, but I took the 10 seconds to look at another piece of mail to see which address went where.

what if you put an address in both the 'to' and 'from' spots? if they return it if u dont have a postage stamp, does that mean you get to send it for free?

1- no, that is only the reason why he messed it up. Second grade! That was 13 years ago for me, and I don't write letters. I'm lucky to remember how to correctly label it. I think I know? Um...

He got that from Art of Trolling. xP Too cheap to buy stamps? Write your adress on the envelope, the person you want to send the letter to as the Return Adress. Letter will be returned to the other person.

Yea but that only works if he did not put a stamp on it. LOL

Haha I know someone who used to do that! He's a really cheap bugger.

Haha I saw this one before. Can you actually do that?

Problem?

I think it would only work if you were mailing something within the same city and you put it in one of those postal boxes. Otherwise the mailmen would probably figure it out.

if that actually works I think you just changed the game
