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...

Considering it is a federal offense to open someone else's mail, hopefully it is sent back to your dad. He then could send it to your proper address. If he sent a cheque, he could put a stop payment on it (not that anyone but you should be able to cash it), and the re-send it. If he sent cash, well that's just dumb, but honestly could be a cop out if your dad is cheap. He could have said he sent it to the wrong address, say he never got it back, and can't afford to send more. So many different scenarios could be in play here. I'm kind of hoping for a follow up lol. Either way OP, fyl, that sucks.

If they see the wrong name written on it they may not open it.
