Puzzlepiece

Today, I spent the whole day doing a 500 piece puzzle. The last piece didn't fit. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Justifiable anger
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

So frustrating!
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 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

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

Damn you, Ikea!
Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that claimed to be "easy to build in minutes." Four hours and multiple arguments later, I realized I had misread the instructions, and half the parts were upside down. I'm pretty sure the furniture won this round. FML

Today, I finally got a package for some pieces that my model kit was missing after I had contacted customer services about the problem. The package was still missing a piece. FML

Today, I spent two hours building an IKEA bookshelf. When I was finished, I realized it was inside-out. There was no way to fix it without completely taking it apart again. FML

Wonky birthday!
Today, halfway through assembling a toy kitchen for a birthday, I realized the instructions made no sense and half the screws looked identical. I still somehow finished it and felt triumphant until the kid opened the oven door, the whole thing tipped sideways, and I had to spend the rest of the party holding it together with one hand. FML

Today, I tried to put together some flat-pack furniture. I wound up in my underpants, screaming stuff like, "Fuck you, fucking Ikea bastard" at pieces of confusing plywood. FML

I would have probably gone back to the store and demand the last puzzle piece because my OCD wouldn't be able to handle it.

OP probably put a different piece where it doesn't belong :(

Or it was a joke puzzle. A friend bought me a puzzle for my birthday a few years back that was 1000 pieces, but by design only had 997 pieces in the box. It's messed up, but it's funny.

Good question, #1. It seems we have a puzzling mystery on our hands.

Do it again just to make sure you did it right.Joking but did you get "mixed up" or was it a mistake by the manufacturers

If that doesnt work, burn it. That always satisfies me.

Just pretend you actually did it

If OP wanted to pretend they never would have started the 500 piece puzzle.

Maybe it was messed up when it was manufactured? If not then check for one that didn't fit quite right before. I hate it when I think something fits but then it actually isn't supposed to be there.

I love doing puzzles and I had my fair share of putting the pieces in the wrong place thinking it went there. Puzzles are fun, but they are a pain in the ass.
