Today, I spent hours putting together a beautifully intricate jigsaw to give to my grandmother, who likes to frame them and hang them on her wall. Just as I was about to finish it, I discovered my dog chewing the last piece. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent the whole day doing a 500 piece puzzle. The last piece didn't fit. FML
Today, I completed a jigsaw puzzle. Almost. You see, there's a problem: One of the pieces is an exact duplicate of another, and the actual missing piece is… gone. So there's one empty space and one piece that doesn't fit. Words cannot describe how irrationally angry this makes me. FML
Today, my dog showed me her latest kill. Too bad it was the stuffed animals my dead grandmother had given me as a child that had a lot of sentimental value to me. FML
Today, I bought a massive new puzzle to take my mind off of things. Hours later, I realized there was a missing piece. Frustrated, I looked everywhere for it, only to discover it was stuck to the bottom of my shoe, and I'd been walking around with it all day. FML
Today, I left my dog alone in the house for ten minutes while I took a shower. When I got out I found a mess of dust all over the floor and her ripping up a package that was supposed to be sent to my aunt. It contained my grandmother's ashes. FML
Today, while babysitting I decided to play with a children's puzzle to pass the time. Fifteen minutes in I gave up. The kid then came over and put it together in less than five. There were only ten pieces. FML
Today, after spending hours wrapping the presents for Christmas, I came back into the room to find that my dog had lost his toy, knocked over all the presents, and was frantically ripping at everything to find it. FML
Today, after I spent nearly three hours building an igloo, my dog decided it would be a nice to enter it and take a shit. FML
Today, I spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML
Today, I installed a doggie door at my wife’s grandmother’s house. I was putting the door back on the hinges when I realized I had put it at the very top of the door instead of the bottom. I’m now trying to turn this hole into a window. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What my mom does when we lose pieces is she cuts out some poster board in the same shape as the missing piece, and then draws a new one to match the rest. I don't know how your art skills are, but it's probably worth a shot

Try pasting the puzzle on cardboard and paint the last piece in. That is what we did once.

You know, I've never actually seen a downvoted comment on the best comments list before. That's an achievement for you, I guess.

To everyone downvoting me. #1 had the top comment when I posted my comment, despite her having been thumbed down.

Buy another one of the same kind. Try finding the piece to replace it.

I appreciate the humor; but I hope you understand why you're being downvoted.

what?

Why? I'm not sure exactly.

That is a perfectly normal response to the situation. This post should not be downvoted for offering advice. If OP really wanted to give this gift to her than they would absolutely buy a new puzzle and spend the time to find the piece. I doubt this comment was meant to be "humorous".

Tape it back together!

Saliva can make the picture wear off and if it's being chewed on then it's probably not gonna be fixed with tape.

Nonsense! Everything can be fixed with tape, especially duct tape.

You'll find it here in a couple days

Just give it to her without the piece and hope she doesn't notice!

Take a picture of the part you are missing (the box should have it on the cover). Enlarge it to the correct size, then glue the picture on cardboard the same thickness as the puzzle. Cut it to fit the puzzle, then all done!

"Why is the jigsaw incomplete?" "The dog ate it..." I doubt that will go down well. Good luck explaining yourself.

How did you put that together?
