Today, my landlord came and beat on my door demanding the rent check. I just got home from a trip and my wife was supposed to pay it while I was away. What happened to the money? Black Friday. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML
Today, I had to pay a $150 late fee because my landlord didn't receive the rent check. My boyfriend had addressed the envelope to himself and put the landlord's as the return address. FML
Today, my boyfriend moved out and took all his things with him. He also took some things that didn't belong to him, namely my rent money. My landlord comes tomorrow. FML
Today, I had to text my landlord to tell him I’m gonna be short on rent. The guy who mugged me last night took the money I made from tips that was supposed to complete my rent. He replied, “Wow that’s wild. I don’t know how you’re gonna come up with the rest by 11:59 tonight, or you’re evicted in 30 days.” FML
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, I had to bail my husband out of jail. It turns out that in the Black Friday rush, he beat a guy up just so he could get his hands on the last of a heavily-discounted item. The item in question: a toaster. FML
Today, my horrible parents turned up to the restaurant I work at just to mess with me. Dad forgot his wallet, what a surprise, and asked me to pay the bill. I refused so my manager got involved. My dad got arrested, I got fired and might lose my lousy flat if I’m late on the rent. FML
Today, I found out the paycheck I deposited on Tuesday bounced. This means that the checks I sent to my landlord, the electric and gas company and my mom will also bounce. When I told my boss, we got into an argument over bank fees and he fired me. I had thumped him, though. FML
Today, I got home and found all my things thrown out into the yard, including the stuff from my mancave, which I spent thousands of dollars on. Apparently, my girlfriend stopped for a visit while my wife was home. I’d stupidly given her a key. Turns out my wife called out sick today. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why didnt he jus do it himself, instead of trusting his wife to do it knowing black Friday was jus around the corner. I agree she's an idiot but he is too!

I can imagine that now, OP: "you know we needed that money to live right?" Wife: "but I just had to get pointless things I don't need!!"
CommonSenseKarma 17
When pointless things are on "sale", somehow the perception changes to "necessary things". Stupid bitch.

@79 it says in the fml that he just got back from a trip, so how could he have done it himself if he wasn't there?

Damn that Rebecca black! Oh... You meant the holiday? I knew that...

She's your wife. If she's THAT financially irresponsible, you should know by now not to trust her with rent while you're away. With Black Friday coming up no less, come on man. YDI.

*Come on woman.* Looks like OP is a female.
justlikeme79 9
My mistake, I saw wife and assumed straight couple. In that case, come on, woman.

#12 - They were correct the first time; OP is a man. Your comment is now invalid.

it's stories like that which make the rest of us females look like unintelligent fools who only think with their credit cards smh
yumlicious 4
Oh...so all females aren't actually unintelligent fools?
ShroomsOnAcid 17
Unfortunately, the rest of us account for something like 10% of the total female population, if we are to be optimistic.

What is black friday?
scarface90 8
American holiday before thanksgiving day, where there are big sales and discounts on useless crap people don't need
Rei_Ayanami 18
Black Friday is the day AFTER Thanksgiving, no?
umm_Talk 9
AFTER Thanksgiving, people line up outside of stores at like two in the morning waiting for the doors to open. There's usually some pretty sweet deals.

on black Friday stores sell huge 50" TVs for a ******* dollar it's not just for game shit or electronics it's for almost anything u want yes it's material things but I bought 3 TVs and sold them separately and made a ton on money so it's not just crap stuff

It's after Thanksgiving and it's an event, not a holiday.

Ask whether he'll take payment in obscure kitchen implements. Maybe see whether he wants that strange device you still haven't entirely worked out the function of, but everyone was fighting over them and there was only one left. You know the one.
FYLDeep 26
Implements? WTF are you talking about?
Timmeeh 17
The type of stuff people typically purchase on black Friday; never stuff you need, always stuff you vaguely desire because it's massively reduced.
FYLDeep 26
I've never heard implements used as a noun before. I had to look that up. I guess the more Americanized version of what you meant would be "obscure kitchen appliances".
Timmeeh 17
Yeah, I'm British, I wasn't actually aware implements in that context wasn't also used across the pond. While my American English is far from perfect, I'd be surprised if it's never used as a noun at all; do phrases such as stone implements, blunt implement, implement of torture etc really not see any usage in the US?
ShroomsOnAcid 17
76, We usually use instrument to refer to such things.
Grover217 0
ii use instruments of torture

Never leave your money with a woman, especially on Black Friday!!

Really u women can be that financially irresponsible not to pay rent before u blow ur money????
