Today, it's my birthday. The present I received from my best friend was the exact same necklace which I gave to her for her birthday two months ago. It had been unwrapped and re-wrapped in the same paper. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a birthday present from a friend. It was the very same gift I gave to her for Christmas. 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, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, I found out that the necklace my boyfriend gave me for my birthday was actually a gift he'd given to his ex-girlfriend. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I once again had to remind my best friend of this fact, like I have every year for the past 20 years. 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 took my best friend out to dinner for my birthday. She gave me a gift after I paid the tab, saying, "My mom thought you would like this, it was expensive." It was a lovely set of origami paper, which was the exact set I brought her as a souvenir from Japan. She was right, it was expensive. FML
Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday, to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace? He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year. I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. FML
Today, I turned 22. Instead of cutting my own cake, I stood by and smiled at a friend's belated birthday party. Her birthday was actually two months ago, but she decided to have her party on my birthday. No one remembered mine but everyone got her beautiful gifts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

give it to her for Christmas. Unfortunately, if you do that, then she will probably re re give it to you during your birthday.

Lol maybe you guys could keep giving the gift back and forth! On her next celebration you could give it back to her. You'll both save loads in present money! :D

My friend and I do that with a plastic peach. It's actually quite hilarious.

My friends and I used to put a freaky looking toy in random spots to startle eachother, it was quite funny because one of them was a bit terrified of it lol.

I'm hoping that's srcastic, if not you might have some serious issues.

I suspect that most of the violent responses on FML are jokes. Otherwise, many people on this site are schadenfreude-addicted psychopaths. OP: at least she re-wrapped it.

Ah, finally some variety. Everyone says 'regift, regift, cycle of friendship!', you say 'choke a bitch.'
