Today, my ex-boyfriend surprised me with a gorgeous, giant stuffed tiger as a belated birthday gift. I thought it was a lovely gesture until a friend told me she had thrown it in the dumpster behind our building this morning. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a surprise birthday party thrown in my honor. All of my friends and family had been invited, and all of the details were perfect. Who threw the party for me? My ex-girlfriend who I dumped last week for "not being thoughtful enough." FML
Today, while at Six Flags my boyfriend won a huge stuffed animal for me. After a whole day of carrying it around, when he dropped me off he told me that he wants the stuffed animal back. He just didn't want to carry it around all day. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I think teddy bears are THE most pointless and careless gift. He shyly gave me my birthday present afterwards. It was a carebear. FML
Today, I was dumped at the surprise party I threw for my boyfriend. FML
Today, my coworker had been distraught over not being able to keep his dog after his divorce, so trying to be sweet, I'd ordered a specially-made stuffy that looked like it. I put it on his desk with a note and cookies. He thought I was mocking him and threw the plate at me. FML
Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. 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, my girlfriend surprised me with what was allegedly a birthday "cake". It was so horribly deformed, I wasn't sure whether to eat it or wear it as a hat. I had to pretend it didn't taste like play-doh, and ended up throwing it up in the toilet. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML

I would usually agree with this saying, but it was from the dumpster. Also OP said it was a belated birthday gift, so he forgot. It does not seem to me like he thought much about her or her special day.

It was sarcasm.

Seeing he got dumped over it - I suppose the thought DID count, just not in the good way.

When you ended it with " ...?" you came across as more of an idiot than someone using sarcasm.

It's the thought that counts...and he didn't put much in it.

You do realize just because it was a belated gift does not mean he forgot he could of been out of town so he couldn't give her a gift the day of

24, I don't think he got dumped over that. She dumped him previously.

Yeah I can see why you'd dump him..

Maybe he related himself to the tiger as being 'dumped' and thought to rescue it. Maybe that's his subliminal message that he wants to be rescued by OP! :O

Toss the dude. Keep the tiger! Why would anyone throw him away??

Well... one good reason is that he got it from a dumpster.

hes asking why was the tiger in the dumpster in the first place
drmisin 5
it probably wasn't. I bet the friend was jealous and said that just to get them to break up.

I guess you could sense that your ex was not worth it to stay with.
