Today, the gift my mother had mailed me for my birthday finally arrived. It was a gift card for Starbucks. A gift card that had already been redeemed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out the gift card my friend gave me for Christmas actually has no money on it and was never purchased in the first place. FML
Today, I found a gift card under my bed that I lost a few months ago for $400 to a store that went out of business last week. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, I bought my mom a gift certificate for a spa treatment for two so we could spend some quality time together. She took my sister. FML
Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, I received a birthday present from a friend. It was the very same gift I gave to her for Christmas. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my family. As part of my presents, my parents gave me prepaid debit card. When I got home, I looked at it again and realized it's the debit card you get from selling back books to our university bookstore. I bought my own books this year. They gave me my own refund. FML
Today, my mom called me a bastard because I asked for the Target gift card my dad had given to me. FML
Today, I went to my son's friend's birthday party and felt really proud of giving a great gift. It just so happened that I regifted the same gift that his friend's mother gave to my son the month before, because I forgot to check the name on the bag. It looked like she was about to faint. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow, we must have the same mother! Mine gave me an already-redeemed Dunkin Donuts card for Christmas. My brother's gift from them that Christmas was also used. It was a 2009 Buick with about 18,000 miles on it.

Boo hoo. The car was used. With 18,000 miles on it! And it's an '09 We're all gonna die! Seriously. Get over it and grow up. My car has over a million on it (no joke) and it's a '96 and I'm pleased to even have a car to get me around.

He can't drive with a used dunkin' donuts card.

Thank you, No. 36. I didn't think it was that hard to understand but apparently I was mistaken. No. 33, let me re-explain it to you since you are a retard. I got a used up gift card, which is worth ZERO. My brother got a ******* CAR. Do you get it now, ********?

I'm sorry bankrupt, that was a shitty move on their part.

No 44, obviously you didn't get it or you would have shut the **** up in shame of your stupidity. The problem was I got something with a net worth of zero. He got a luxury car, albeit used. The fact that you drive an old piece of shit has no bearing on this and in fact, you are all pissed off about the car my brother got not being that great, ergo I have no complaint, but then you whine and whine about your crapmobile and we are STILL back to a Buick being with a ******* hell of a lot more than an empty Dunkin Donuts gift card, which you still haven't gotten. You're an imbecile beyond comprehension. FYI, when you go take a shit, it's pants down FIRST!

Clever rant. Sadly misdirected, due to your own failure to read usernames. Forums ftw!

Sounds like my parents. For my brothers 16th birthday he got an iPod touch, a new guitar and snow boarding stuff from my parents. A year later on my 16th birthday what did I get? A $5 Starbucks gift card, which my mom then took a week later and used for herself.

rofl. bankrupt why you so angry? I was saying I understood what you were saying. Obviously in your blind rage of your empty gift card you didn't read what I said. I am almost thinking you deserved that gift card if that's how you treat people.
