Today, I saw a letter from Geneseo that invited me to apply to the honors college. Excited, I wrote the required two page essay on how I am organized. I then saw the strict deadline was March 15th. My little brother thought it would be funny to hide my mail. For the past seven weeks. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I was accepted to the college of my dreams. Then I checked the address. Turns out, the letter was meant for my neighbor. I was actually denied. FML
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML
Today, I received yet another rejection letter from a college I'd applied to. After crying for a week about how lousy I felt, my older sister gave me all 6 of the acceptance letters she'd been hiding. Turns out she's been forging rejection letters and keeping the real ones in her room. FML
Today, I went to an Honors Convocation for my school. I received a letter a few weeks earlier telling me I received an award. Surprised and proud, I invited my family to join me to see what award I was receiving. I couldn't find my name in the program. I was invited by mistake. FML
Today, while reading over my sent application email to a job I have been trying to get, I found out my brother had put "Heil Hitler!" as my signature. FML
Today, I got a letter from Yale Law School saying I got a 4 year full scholarship. I called my dad crying and read the whole thing… even the bottom of the letter, which said, "April fools' ! Love, Mom and Dad." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you want help disposing of the corpse lemme know =P (That was a joke btw) But seriously thats messed up, take his favourite thing and hide it for 7 weeks, maybe forever, because nothing can make up for what he did.

How old is this brother? Because if he's old enough to dress himself, I would hide every piece of clothing he owns for seven weeks. Except for a Halloween costume.

Damn! That sucks. My advice: Pretend to forget. When he applies to HS/College, Hide his first choice's letter until two days after the deadline. Then watch the look on your face and kindly direct him to this website.

My brother did that to me once with a college acceptance. Only thing is I watched him collect the mail and noticed there was a brown envelope missing when he brought the mail in. I threatened him with several things til he admitted to taking the mail with my name on it and stashing it under his bed.

#11, Geneseo is a college. The OP probably got into the college and then they sent a request to apply for the honors program/Delta college. That is, if the OP means SUNY Geneseo. I go to a SUNY school and that's how it runs here.

#8, the OP didn't say the brother had been hiding every piece of mail s/he got for seven weeks. It's possible the kid just randomly picked up the mail on one day and hid that one day's mail for seven weeks.
