Today, I went and bought my wife a new cell phone for a Christmas present. She called me five minutes later saying she got a notification e-mail thanking her for her purchase. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought my girlfriend an iPhone. I preloaded it with a bunch of cool apps and stuff and spent a lot and money. She used it to send a text to me 3 hours later saying that she thought we should break up. FML
Today, I got a text from my girlfriend saying she needed more phone credit, so I bought her more and got another message saying "Great, now I have enough credit for this..." as she spelled out a three page message breaking up with me. Yes, I paid for her to break up with me via text. FML
Today, I asked a girl I liked for her number, but she claimed she had a broken phone and was getting a new one for Christmas. Unhinged, I go home and go onto Facebook. First thing I see is her status: "Why is no one answering my calls?" FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, my wife, being very considerate, bought me a new phone for my birthday. That would be fine and dandy if cops didn't then enter my house and say I stole it. Turns out my wife paid $900 from MY credit card to the person who stole the phone. FML
Today, I got a new smartphone and wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a naughty picture with it. A few minutes after sending it, I got a reply back from my girlfriend. And my best friend. And my sister. And everyone on my contacts list. FML
Today, I surprised my wife with some new lingerie for our upcoming anniversary, thinking she would like it. Instead of a thank you, I got an ungrateful attitude from her instead. 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, my wife figured out I gave her a dollar store ring for our anniversary. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. She hadn't even called me; I saw the news on my Facebook news feed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess Santa screwed that one up by sending your wife the e-mail that ruined the surprise. Old people and technology!

Lie and say someone stolen either of your identities. At Christmas reveal your lie. Can't possibly backfire.

1) she would probably call the police for identity theft 2) she would find the card in his/her wallet. yea, wouldn't backfire alright.

He bought his wife a new cell phone, and was planning to give it to her as a Christmas present. But the company sent her an email thanking her for the purchase and ruined the surprise. (Or it could be that he used her card to purchase it, like other people have said.)
Darko21 5
Either his wife is the primary owner of the cell phones (she pays the bills) and received the e-mail of the purchase or he used his wife's card to buy her own present.

No, #10. If they're like most couples, they have a joint home email. During the purchase, the company asked the husband for his email address (which he gave). The company's system then automatically spit out a "thank you email" that the wife ended up seeing, thus spoiling the surprise. Idiot company needs to add another "if/then" line of code in it's programming to avoid ruining surprises.

Most couples that I know do not have a joint home E-mail.
Jewelofagal 2
Maybe we're in different age groups. As I said, most couples I know have one email account for home use.

so wait, you bought the phone with her monies? what a jerk... I think that's what this is saying...
tttiffany 0
that COULD be what he did.... but the point was that the wife was dumbfounded by the fact that a random cell phone was purchased under their credit... so she just called to confirm with her husband about the charge and his surprise was ruined.

I agree, my wife and I have joint bank accounts and I saw this scenario in my head happening so I straight up said, I'm taking cash out of the ATM so when you balance our account online, it doesn't ruin the surprise.

you can ask them return your money

So? Just give it to her early.

You can't give Christmas presents early. Its a rule.
mrahhhhh 21
Not for everybody.

A lot of people open some or all of their gifts on Christmas Eve night. I think this may be prevalent in Hispanic cultures?
Cass3m0 0
62, I was going to tell you that was an interesting thing to assume, but then I realized that my family does open their presents Christmas Eve. We are Hispanic. ._."

When does Santa make his delivery? While you're at Mass? Or, does Santa have no place in Hispanic culture?

So the FML here is what, your surprise was ruined? That's barely even a minor annoyance. Everyone who voted "yes" to this one, line up over here on the left. You're all getting a boot to the head followed by a swirlie followed by an atomic wedgie. You all suck.
ImaginaryFoe 1
Agreed. OP, if you were slow-witted enough to give an email address she had access to, you shouldn't be shocked. The outcome is not so dire. Your wife gets a nice present and you can still slip her a little surprise on Christmas day.
Doortje 30
I'm in the mood for a wedgie, so I'm going to lie and say I voted "yes".

*reads first sentence of Doc's comment* I agree with that. *reads rest* ...crap. *lines up*

Wow, I'm at 5 thumbs down so far. All you thumbs-downers better be in line...

I'm in line for the seventh time. It was ever so enjoyable.
