Today, I went to Lidl to buy the cheapest jaffa cakes I could. They cost 35p. When I was eating them later on I put the plastic wrapper onto the side. When I'd finished eating my jaffa cakes I went to pick up the wrapper... The dog had eaten it. Cost me a £150 vet bill. Most expensive jaffas I've ever had. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, I rushed my dog to the vet because he was foaming at the mouth. I returned home with a bill for $200 and a dog who apparently has a thing for marshmallows. FML
Today, I spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, my mum decided to teach me a lesson about carelessly leaving my wallet about. She left it on the floor so our puppy could use it and its contents as a chew toy. I was almost impressed to discover that he can eat three £20 notes and still have room for debit cards. FML
Today, I went to a fast-food joint and ordered off the $1.00 menu to save money. Five hours later I go to the hospital with food-poisoning. After a whole day of not eating, crapping, puking, having tests, and a bunch of IV fluids, my $1.00 burger ended up costing me $2,000 in bills. Really. FML
Today, after having a hard week, I decided to order a pizza with an expensive milkshake. It slipped out of my hand in front of the lift. It went everywhere. I had nothing on me to clean it up with. Now I’m milkshakeless, down £5, and accidentally responsible for littering my accommodation. FML
Today, my dog had her stomach pumped because she ate some cookies. The 100 cookies I made for a bake sale to be exact. FML
Today, I had a hotdog. I thought the skin was a bit tough but ate it anyway. After reading the packaging later I found out that each hotdog has an individual plastic wrapper. I ate plastic. FML
Today, I came home to find my dog had learned how to open our fridge. He ate the birthday cake I was saving for a friend's surprise party, and to add insult to injury, he'd also apparently thrown the barely digested cake up all over my bed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow. Not all Americans are idiots. It's not the people's fault the recession happened, it's our leaders' faults. When I first read this FML, I knew what 35p meant, and I knew what this £ sign meant. The only thing I wasn't sure of was what Jaffa Cakes were, and what Lidl is. I have enough common sense to assume that Lidl is some kind of a knockoff store, and that Jaffa Cakes are a sweet. @OP, sucks your dog ate the wrapper. Maybe you should throw the wrappers away once you've gotten the cake out?

This isn't an american site. If someone just happens not to be from YOUR country, there's no need to be a **** to them just for that. God you people are sad, seeking out any tiny reason to be a dick. Spelling or nationality, you name it, you'll be there wanting to cause a scene you stupid attention seeking *****.

All that said, jaffa cakes dont taste as good as they did in the 60's and 70's when they were full of tangy 'e' numbers? maybe thats why kids nowadays are slightly overweight all those 'e' numbers made us hyper and kept us running around all day?

To 43, it's a little harsh to call someone ethnocentric because they don't know what Jaffas are. There are quite a few ethnocentric Americans out there, but being ethnocentric and idiotic are two vastly different things. I didn't know what Jaffas were until I read this post. But then again some people can't shop at ethnic food stores because there are none or any quality in thier area. I live in fairly rural Kentucky and there is only a Japanese food store; I went there and got food poisoning.
