Today, I went to McDonald's. I was unaware of the Monopoly contest that they were holding. I was also unaware that you have to get 3 stickers of the same colour to claim your prize, and that it's not that easy to win a Jeep Cherokee. Taking down my Facebook post was awkward. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at McDonald's and I was going through the drive-thru. As I was driving away, I checked my food and the lady had given me a Night at the Museum Happy Meal toy by mistake. I got so excited that I crashed the car into a pole. I'm 36. FML
Today, McDonalds charged me 21 cents for a honey mustard packet. The jerk manager made me break a $50 bill. So I grabbed all their napkins, carried them into the parking lot and tossed them all into the air in protest and drove off. Down the road, I realized I left my wallet at the counter. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. FML
Today, when I was finished eating at McDonald's, I went to Shoppers to pick up a new toothbrush. I got back to my car only to find the windows smashed in. The only thing that was missing from my car was the Hello Kitty toy I got from McDonald's. Someone broke into my car for a 10 cent toy. FML
Today, I felt really depressed so I decided to go to McDonald's, get a sundae and cheer myself up. I got pulled over by the cops on the way, and was given a ticket for an expired registration. McDonald's was closed. FML
Today, while working at McDonald's a car full of obnoxious teens came through. They had made a $30 order, and handed me a tin of small change, claiming that on a McDonald's ad they saw that we, employees, liked counting change. I had to count out $30 in spare change during a rush period at work. FML
Today, my friends wanted to try to dine and dash at a McDonald's. I had to explain why that wouldn't work. FML
Today, I was exhausted after a long day at work and didn't feel like cooking so I went to a drive thru. I placed my order, went to the window and paid. I then drove off without my food and didn't realize it for a couple of blocks. I was too embarrassed to go back and get it. FML
Today, I won a game of Monopoly against my girlfriend. She reacted by sweeping the board off the table, storming out the front door, and mowing down my mailbox driving away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The wording of this is a little confusing. Did you win?

I think OP thought they won... Then they celebrated..... Then they realised they didn't win anything.....oops

"I won a car!"

OP got the stickers for the prize, but didn't realize that isn't in automatic win. You have to compete against other people that got the stickers, I'm pretty sure. So OP thought they won until they realized that they hadn't technically won. At least that's how I think the monopoly works.

You just need to collect all the stickers for the set. So you need all 4 airports (railways) and you win a trip, all 3 green properties to win a jeep, both blue pieces to win 10K, and so on. No competing against people.

Pretend the posts were tongue in cheek

To be honest, I'd be happier with the free food ones than a car. Mmm, soft-serve ice cream...

well I'm not one to complain about free food, but F that, I'll take a free car! :D

Pretty sure it's taken as a tax thing, so it's technically not "free" so to speak.

Back in the 90's I was looking at the winner's list (for the preceding year) and told the local Macdonalds manager that the game was rigged. He did not believe me, I pointed out that it was statistically impossible for all the winners to be on the east coast. about four years later Macdonalds issued a press release citing the CSO had rigged the game for his friends. All on the east coast. I could not get anyone to believe me at the time.

McDonald's has been doing their Monopoly thing for years. How did you not realize you have to have all three of the same color to win the big prize? But hey, maybe you'll get it yet. :D

Probably should have checked the rules and such, but hey, now you know.
