Today, I realized that I get more mail addressed to the old tenant of my apartment than to me. He hasn't lived here in years. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received yet more mail for my ex-fiancé. We've been broken up for nearly a year and I've told him multiple times to change his address. Getting his mail is a constant reminder that I haven't dated since. FML
Today, it's been two weeks since one of my roommates moved out. Despite me telling the postal service he no longer lives here, they're still knocking on my door almost every day with urgent letters addressed to him. I have no idea where he lives now, and am wondering what the fuck he was up to here. FML
Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML
Today, I moved into a new apartment. While moving boxes, I ran into my supervisor from work. Guess who lives across the hall. FML
Today, the mailman delivered my new phone to my neighbour's house. This was okay, because he left a note in my mailbox informing me so. Now my crazy neighbour won't give me the package because, "*I* signed for it!" FML
Today, I came home to a noise complaint letter taped to my apartment door. I haven't been home in over a month. FML
Today, I got a notification that my food had been delivered. I opened my front door and found nothing. After ten minutes of panic, I checked the delivery photo. It was of my old apartment. I moved out eight months ago. FML
Today, my landlord sold the apartment I’ve been renting for 10 years without telling me. I found this out when the new owners showed up at the door with boxes. FML
Today, I was at an estate sale of my neighbor who recently passed. I recognized many items for sale that I had ordered or won on eBay from the past 8 years. Turns out the little old lady had been stealing my mail for close to a decade. FML
Today, after moving to a new house my life has fallen apart, paperwork lost, appointments missed, job offers rescinded, and now I know why. The postbox by my new house isn’t in use, so four months worth of the letters I've posted are sitting uncollected inside it. It even has a big "Not in use" sign on it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a good thing, most mail nowadays are just bills and junk mail. I envy you

Mail? What the hell is that? Isn't that 18th century technology? Welcome to 2014! We pay our bills and get junk mail with science now.

You'd have to check for a package if you want to find out.

I accidentally gave this a thumbs up when I meant to give it a thumbs down, so don't get cocky.

#10 you realise 1 thumbs up makes no difference compared to all the thumbs down he is getting...

Everyone else clearly disagrees but I thought this was brilliant, especially for a first comment. Bravo, sir.

Onto the more pressing matter (you can stop your mindless babbling), I get mail from the previous tenant all the time. The man left 7-10yrs ago. It wasn't until we called the senders of the mail did we find out he had been a scam artist (thus explaining the issues with certain aspects of the home).

How is this an FML? Get out and live a little! If you don't do anything, you won't get anything.

On the bright side, at least you're not getting any junk mail. Saving trees is best. ^^

Time to get out there and make a name for yourself.

FML does not mean ForwardMaiL. I'm not sure how this FML got approved.

It's okay. You probably get more retweets on twitter than him.

Who cares? Who likes getting mail?
