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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

Shouldn't have used her email when you did the purchase? unless you two use the same one

I think he's saying he bought it with her money or something. Which is why SHE got the message instead of him. if so then Op deserves to get slapped.

She should not have mentioned the email and pretended to be surprised.

Unless it was a fraudulent charge, as after all, it DID thank her for a purchase she didn't make. It's safer to double check these things.

Hey, better than getting an e-mail from that Nigerian prince who's asking for more money to get bailed out of jail in return for giving you $2.2 million. Supposedly if I don't give him the money he'll be dethroned. Tugs at your heartstrings, huh? :/

mrahhhh, I know exactly what you are talking about. I just sent another $3000, but I know he is going to send me the reward this year. I am going to be rich for Christmas. I take such heart felt pride in know that I am helping him keep his throne but mostly it's about the money that's coming my way.

Dude I hope you're being sarcastic. That's an obvious scam for money.

No it's not. He's a real prince and everyone who helps him gets a shitload of money. You're just jealous you were too afraid to take a risk for once.

Benny, don't be stupid. Kayak is right - Mr. Benjamin Aboye has promised me my 1.5 million€ lottery winnings once I send him a 500€ filing fee. I already sent 1000€ registration fee. I can't wait for my windfall!!!

Oh yeah, I got an email from some random dude who left me his inheritance of millions of dollars but i had to send him money first. I really hope people don't fall for that.
