Today, I was holding a yard sale. A man came up to me and asked if he could buy a pair of red and white sneakers that I'd found in my attic and had never worn. Five bucks later, he was walking away with what I now realize was the pair of shoes signed by Michael Jordan given to me by my uncle. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while shopping for a pair of shoes, I saw a pair I really liked lying around, so I sat down to try them on. Then, a man came up to me and pointed out that they were actually his shoes. FML
Today, I wanted to sell some Jordan sneakers on OfferUp. I met up with the buyer in a parking lot. The friendly looking lady buying them said, “Thanks for the shoes, bitch!” then a guy come out, punched me, grabbed the shoes, and they both hauled ass. People saw and did nothing. There goes my kids’ Christmas gifts. FML
Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML
Today, I went down to my grandparents' house to spend some time with them. I was in the guest room when I noticed a box in the corner of the closet labelled "Crap". I opened up the box to see my Dad's John Elway Autographed Football in it. I got it for him for Christmas, it cost me $600. FML
Today, because money is a little tight, I decided to sell one of my retro video game consoles. The family member that initially gave me it to me saw the ad on Facebook and demanded I give it back to them. FML
Today, I was working at our garage sale with my dad. I sat outside for 2 hours, talked to three people, and sold nothing. My dad came outside and got angry at me, so I told him to give it a shot. He sold 3 things to the first guy who walked in. FML
Today, I was helping an old man find a pair of shoes. I told him about a particularly comfortable pair but had to inform him that they only came in black or white. Hearing this, the old man grabbed me around the neck and began to beat me in the head with our display shoe. He wanted brown. FML
Today, I paid a local homeless man to rake the leaves in my yard. After paying and driving him to the bus stop, I found his shit on my back porch. I need new shoes. FML
Today, I surprise-visited my uncle after not seeing him for 4 years because of college. When he opened the door to his house, he was wearing Crocs. Of course, that would have been completely fine if it weren't for the fact that they were the only thing he was wearing. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a man behind me tapped me on the shoulder. He gave a $5 bill and said that he thought I had dropped it. Not having the integrity to turn him down, I took it. I spent the next 20 minutes being chased by a crazy hobo who claimed that it was his. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And THAT is no one's fault but your own. You didn't even look at them before selling them?

Why would you sell sneakers for five dollars anyway. More like fyl for letting him sign beat-up/ extra athletic shoes.

I bet he's going to make a killing off of that... especially since they were mint condition, too. That sucks... pay closer attention next time :).

Depends...without a certificate of authenticity from somewhere reputable they might not be worth the five bucks. But there are suckers everywhere....

A certificate of authenticity? Really? Those are pretty much worthless. After all, who's to say the certificate is authentic? No, all that's really necessary is that someone can recognize the signature, which is much easier.

The only way to ensure you have an authentic Michael Jordan autograph is if it has a holographic Upper Deck sticker (I think its an UD sticker) with it. It hasn't always been this way so some without it may still be real. He has a contract with Upper Deck and thats why the sticker has to be there and also why he can't/won't sign autographs for people because it has to have that sticker and I don't think he carries them around with him.

So you didn't notice the signature? You just give random people random things at any cost? What are you willing to sell next time?

This whole FML reminds me of 'Like Mike'.

agreed.

That's probably because that movie was based on Michael Jordan's childhood and how he found some shoes for really cheap and became a good basketball player. Or something like that. The OP is sad that he won't be able to become good at the basketballs.
