Today, I submitted an offer on a house. I got a call a few minutes later saying that it had collapsed. FML

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

Nice try
Today, after spending days writing up an offer for a condo so my boyfriend and I could move in together with our 9-month-old, we found out they accepted a different offer. FML

Today, after three interviews, I accepted an offer for my dream job and submitted my notice. The company called me to say they couldn't contact my referees and have now withdrawn the offer. I'm now officially unemployed. FML

Today, after saving for years, I was finally ready to buy a home. I found a decent place. I put in an offer. A hedge fund bought it 7 minutes later, for cash. FML

Today, I received a rejection letter from a job I desperately wanted. Yesterday, the job offer I'd been stalling on in while waiting for news about this one expired. FML

Today, I got a call and was offered a position with a company that I really wanted to work for. I just had to wait a week to confirm that everything was good to go. Ten seconds after ending the call, they called back and said that they'd called the wrong person. The offer was for someone else. FML

Welcome to the machine
Today, I was laid off on the day I was about to put in an offer on a house. This company promised me the world, and I broke myself working to prove my worth. Turns out, I wasn't getting paid for the lunches and breaks I didn't take either. FML

Today, I interviewed with a company 5 times over the course of 7 weeks. It was going really well and although not my dream job, it would provide a step up for my family. I got the offer letter at 1 PM! As I’m reading it, I realize it’s actually addressed to the other finalist. Sent to me, not for me. Offer rescinded. FML

Today, I met with my realtor to close on a house for my boyfriend and me. While waiting for my boyfriend, I got a text message from him saying he was breaking up with me. I had already signed the papers on our house. Now I'm responsible for a mortgage that I can only afford with his help. FML

The old switcheroo
Today, I was supposed to close on a house. Unfortunately, our lender decided that they couldn't finance us and denied us a loan, after 3 months of us digging up paperwork, saving money, and packing. Now we have to scramble to find a new place, while our insane landlady screams at us. FML

Today, my husband and I were finally about to put our house on market because we have killed our savings on moving and two mortgages for the past couple of months. Then the pipes burst. Awesome. FML

I'm sure it's nothing a bit of duct tape can't fix.

I thought it was that's the way the cookie crumbles... or was it that's the way the house crumbles... either way better now then after you buy it and move in..

Better now than after you actually bought it. I'd say it's lucky it happened like this. Not like they can't hold you to an offer you made on a house that's not there in the same condition/state anymore.

If duct tape didn’t work then you didn’t use enough.

Wow! That house sure didn’t want you to be inside it!

No clue how this is an FML. If you had found out AFTER closing I’d say FML.

I would consider lowering your offer, now.

Sounds you dodged a bullet.

So did the offer get through? Did you own the house when it collapsed? Because otherwise I dont ee the FML.

OP, you don't have to lower your offer if you don't want to. Hopefully, the land is still okay ... unless there's now a sinkhole.

The offer collapsed or the house did?
