Today, I was volunteering at a gift-wrapping booth to raise money for autism, and helping others takes my mind off the fact that my mom died at Christmas. While carefully wrapping a present, offering bows, ribbons, and a gift tag, a snobby bitch said to me, "You're not doing a very good job." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, Amazon didn't deliver the present I bought my mother for Mothering Sunday, so she called me an 'Ungrateful bastard.' And about half an hour ago, I cut my thumb whilst making her lunch. She said, 'You're doing this on purpose so I feel sorry for you. Well I don't.' FML
Today, I reduced a customer to tears and she had a tantrum, saying that nobody loves her, her life is a joke, and she’d be better off dead. This ordeal happened to grab the attention of my manager who was nearby. All I did was tell her that an item she wanted was sold out and offered to help her order it online. FML
Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML
Today, I was at work. I work at a grocery store and a woman pulls a cart to me filled with chips, breads, lunch meats, and sodas. I said to her "Looks like you are going to have a fun party" she then looks at me and says "My mother just died, this is for after the funeral. FML
Today, I already hate the holidays. My mom has been trying to be helpful, but has severe undiagnosed memory problems that our family ignores. They've also ignored all the house repairs, but have no problem consoling her while she cries how mean I am for missing her party, because I used my vacation time to fix the house. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents while watching a terrible Netflix Christmas movie to get into the holiday spirit. Halfway through, I realized I had wrapped my scissors and tape inside one of the gifts. Now I’m sitting here with unwrapped gifts and a deep annoyance at Christmas all together. FML
Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents for various people; 17 to be exact. It wasn't until I placed the last present on top of the stack that I realized I didn't put gift tags on any of them. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, I lost my job. Why? Because I'm taking care of my dying mother. My boss actually said, "Well, if she dies today, we can hold your job." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ah, don't mind the stupid little shit. You obviously do a much better job than she ever would.

How do you know that she does a better job than her?
Mathalamus 25
The post does say that the OP is doing a careful job, therefore better. And we all know insecure meanies tend to do this shit.
Ichiya 29
All I know is if you pay to have others wrap gifts you probably aren't very good at doing it yourself.
jtfrisch 22
But what if she actually wasn't doing a good job. It's not like this women knows all of OPs issues. Could have been some healthy constructive criticism.
Kitten_love 22
It's only constructive if they offer advice...

25, pretty sure there was a reason that snobby bitch was getting others to wrap her gifts up for her instead of doing it herself.
tackblog 14
Oh, the bullshit that sensitive people tell other sensitive people, immediately taking side of the OP. Maybe she was doing a complete shitass job?
jtfrisch 22
This is a site full of extremely sensitive people, I'm not exactly sure why
DoomedGemini 38
Why would they allow op to wrap, volunteering or not, if she was so terrible at it?
SebastianCT 14
What a bitch
mds9986 24
Yeah, I read the FML too.
BlackBoyFly 11
Why does everyone have to respond snobby, to people who do something like quote the Post, it's called a comment section for a reason...

When I read the FML I was like "Wow **** that bitch" and even a bit sour that there are people like her in existence. Then I read your comment and cracked up.

I bet you, you would have done the same.

I wonder how many ways there are to screw up gift-wrapping
oiler 21
As much to screw up a comment

I'm ******* horrible at wrapping presents. You couldn't even imagine. I'm so thankful for these gift wrapping services.

My husband is atrocious at gift wrapping. You wouldn't think there's many ways to mess it up but he manages to find them.
Dreamsorrow93 24
My cat thinks of many many ways to mess up my gift wrapping. I do an ok job but Only if I threaten her with a knife. Then she swats it and claws the paper. So a patch job is often needed.
ApologyKick 25
I think there's always going to be people like that to test our limits, but you just keep doing you OP. She'll probably be getting coal soon anyway...
GloUp_fml 18
Sorry for your loss OP, but don't mind that asshole. You're doing a great job helping people!
miss_fluffybutt 17
I can think of a good use for the tape you had.
katie1243 16
Looks like someone's getting coal from Santa
muyu 6
why do you say? what's meaning of coal, in effect.
EmoFlowers 19
#32, When kids are bad, they get coal in their stockings instead of presents or candy.
Ichiya 29
I would put scorpions in their stockings. Coal can be used for heat. All scorpions do is spread misery.

@78 You're thinking of wasps.
