Today, my dad sent me $200 by mail, only to mail it to the wrong person. So now some random person is getting $200 from my dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was surprised to see a little extra cash in my account for no reason. Confused, (and a little concerned about fraud) I called customer service. Turns out my dad had accidentally used the wrong routing number and put the money in the wrong account. So much for that extra $35. FML
Today, after weeks of allowing my parents to borrow money, I got a check for $2000. I took it to the bank only to find out it was fake. FML
Today, I found out that FedEx delivered my $700 package to the wrong person. The person who signed for it didn't even spell my name right. FML
Today, my dad decided to clean out my car and "accidentally" threw away my $520 tax refund check. FML
Today, I found out that the person sending me secret love letters was actually my dad, who felt sorry for me. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I got a birthday card in the mail from my aunt. I got all excited when I saw a cheque inside, but the cheque was addressed to the wrong name. Not only did my own aunt forget my name, I couldn't even bank the $60. FML
Today, I found out that my dad has been trying to take money out of my savings account to pay for divorce fees and a hammock. FML
Today, I got an invitation in the mail for my dad's third wedding. My first name was misspelled on the envelope. FML
Today, my sisters and I pitched together nearly $500 to send my mom to the spa for Mother's Day. We put the printed sheet with her info into a little box with our card on top. When she opened it, she freaked out and started hugging my dad. Turns out he switched the cards and took all the credit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your dad doesn't know your address? Your dad doesn't have checks? Your dad thinks sending cash through the mail is a good idea? So many questions...

How is it a YDI if his dad sent it to the wrong person?

Technology is now among us OP. What you're doing just doesn't make cents. FYL

But it does lose them dollars. 200 of them, to be exact.

Unfortunate situation OP. On the bright side, it's somebody else's lucky day!

I'm sorry, OP. Was it a check or did it have a return address? Maybe the person who gets it will send it back or make sure your father gets it back. Or hopefully, your father will realize his mistake and resend it to you. Best of luck to you, OP! Let us know!

this is why the post office asks you not to mail cash... this exact kinda thing

It could go two ways: the person mails it back to the return address, or they feel they need it so much they keep it. They could be a starving family and that random $200 could put food on the table for a few weeks. Still, fyl, you need that $200 too damnit!

Or the person could keep it just cuz of something they want. I mean, I'd honestly keep most of the money if I had gotten it

Or it could be someone who needs $200 more to start research for cancer treatments.

I am really hoping he was thoughtful enough to not send cash.
