Today, my girlfriend donated most of my book collection because she got me a Kindle for Christmas. Some were signed, including my Harry Potters. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years revealed he'd got me a complete collection of Charles Dickens' novels for £3 from a charity shop. He was particularly proud as he said it meant he could give me one for Christmas and my birthday each year, thus avoiding having to buy me presents for the next 15+ years. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me because I have never read any of the Harry Potter books. FML
Today, my girlfriend bought herself a brand new iPad and iPod Touch, and returned my aging iPod and Kindle, which she constantly steals for her own use. She considers it my Valentine's Day present. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I gave each other early Christmas gifts. I gave him a basketball signed by his favorite player, which took me forever to find. He got me diet pills. FML
Today, my girlfriend thought that a few candles in our room would create a cozy and romantic atmosphere. Especially the one on the bookshelf. That candle damaged only one book - it was signed by my great professor, who's long gone. She doesn't understand why I can't just buy a new copy and deal with it. FML
Today, I got another email from Amazon asking me how I like my new Kindle. I don't have a Kindle. It's the one I bought my ex for Christmas, right before she left me while I was deployed overseas. FML
Today, after months of being pestered to do so, I finally read the first Harry Potter book. I hated it. Upon hearing this, my girlfriend posted the fact on Facebook, where I immediately received tons of abuse and eventual shunning by my friends, family, and coworkers. My girlfriend just laughed. FML
Today, my brother inherited a book from our grandmother that, in his ignorance, he donated to a charity shop because he’s “not a big reader”. I raced to buy it back, but someone had already bought it. The book in question: a mint condition, 1954 first edition Lord of the Rings, valued at £5000. FML
Today, I got a package in the mail from my girlfriend. I was really excited until I realized that it was just a box full things that I gave to her. FML
Today, at the office, everyone in my department swapped secret santa presents. I bought the guy whose name I picked a DVD box-set of his favorite TV series. One of my friends got a fancy make up kit. Another got a pack of posh notebooks. I got a toilet plunger. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Muggles... What do you expect from them?

WHY do people think it's okay to get rid of things that do not belong to them without the owner's consent?!

13: Yeah, but once you get them back, instead of buying a ring, kick her stupid, disrespectful ass to the curb.

So your gonna hit a girl? You need to learn a lesson or two.

"Kick her ass to the curb" doesn't necessarily mean hit her, it means "dump her". Sound like YOU need to learn a lesson or two.

Sorry, anyone who sells something valuable to me, is getting hit.

Nope, sorry, your engagement ring is JK ROWLING!

Kindle will never replace the feel of a real book... Make her get them back and make her your personal slave for a month as punishment :-)

Or the smell of a book for that matter (I might sound weird but I love the smell of books.)
GhostChickens 17
I thought I was going to be the only one that mentioned the smell on here! They make book scented candles now though, so I guess we are not alone.

#15, "House elf" woud be a more appropriate punishment in this case ;)
Phoenixke 16
You guys are not alone :-) my girlfriend randomly picks up a book and smells it at least once a week. I still find it weird...

#109- I don't like where this is going....

And there goes the good old fashion way of reading a book

I am also an avid reader, and would definitely become homocidal if someone did that to me! I hope you get them back OP!

Girl needs to be dumped/burned at the stake. My heart goes out to you, OP .
rinzlerkitty94 31
Dumped, yes definitely, but burned at the stake? That's just a little harsh, don't you think?
Kkkdawg 27
What a dumb bitch. You make her get those back ASAP. Or just get rid of something precious of hers.

Dump her and find someone who actually understands the importance of books and personal possessions. You don't just randomly throw away someone else's belongings.

What a biotch! I would smack her head with any remaining book around.

That would be the Kindle
