Today, I won a raffle organised by a friend. I discovered one of the "prizes" was actually a present that I had given to her, that she had "loved". When I asked her where she had gotten it, she said, "Oh, just some crap someone gave me once." She didn't even remember that I had given it to her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my workplace was having a raffle and was giving away a Venus shaving kit. A co-worker won, but instead of keeping it, she walked over and handed the basket to me in front of everyone, said "You need it more" and walked away. FML
Today, I went to my son's friend's birthday party and felt really proud of giving a great gift. It just so happened that I regifted the same gift that his friend's mother gave to my son the month before, because I forgot to check the name on the bag. It looked like she was about to faint. FML
Today, I received a birthday present from a friend. It was the very same gift I gave to her for Christmas. FML
Today, I went with my sister to her company Christmas party. They had a gift raffle, my number was called and I won $25 for a local restaurant. A few moments later, the manager came over and said, "You don't work here? You can't have that" and took it from me. FML
Today, I won a big raffle. However, my name is so ridiculous-sounding that they thought someone was playing a prank, and pulled a different ticket. I was too embarrassed to say anything. FML
Today, my extended family came over for Christmas. I forgot to get a present for my extremely sensitive aunt. I took a gift from my re-gift pile and wrapped it quickly. Little did I remember that it was the same gift she gave me last year. She noticed. FML
Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, after I spent quite some time getting thoughtful gifts for my friend and her kids ahead of their visit, she made a big fuss about how she'd "forgotten" to bring the gift she'd bought for me. Later, she casually admitted that she'd intentionally not bought me anything because she, "didn't think I'd need it." FML
Today, I won a meal for two in a raffle. I had no one to go with. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Very rude. At the minimum, she ought not to refer to the prizes her organization is raffling in a derogatory manner no matter how she personally feels about the item. It's unprofessional. From the friendship perspective, you now have been given a big glimpse into her "inner workings". Feel free to react accordingly.

So, a real friend is someone who either hurts your feelings by immediately telling you that your gift is crap or is that someone who obsessively holds on to everything you gave them no matter what?

IAtleast its not like your her aunt and for christmas you gave her a leaking wrapped up lump of Jell-o and captured her cat in a box and wrapped that up for good measure just in case the jell-o wasnt enough.

Most men would be publically embarrassed to get something called a Snuggie, but we would all privately love the hell out of it!

A guy I knew had a birthday not long before mine. He got a present which he thought was crap. And he broke. So he wrapped it up and gave it to me for my birthday without saying anything. FHL for being ungrateful.

I have 3 Snuggies in 3 different colors, you'd be insane not to love a Snuggie as a gift. OP, my guess is you are a crappy gift giver.
