Today, while teaching English in Korea, my boss gave me a birthday present from her and all of my co-workers. It was a really fancy box. It had very nice wrapping. It had a pretty bow. It was kind of heavy. It was 6 bottles of dandruff shampoo. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it’s my birthday. At work, at my desk, I found this beautiful gift-wrapped box and a card that read, “From all of us, we really care about you, and hope you like your present!” I opened the box. It had body shower gel, deodorant, soap, fragrance spray, and “frizz shampoo.” Hint taken. FML

Today, I went to a work party where we had a Secret Santa. I gave a nice set of beer bottles with glasses. When my name was called I naturally picked the biggest gift. I got groceries. I now have dog food and men's body spray. I don't have a boyfriend or a dog. FML

Hmmm. Next time you get a chance, sprinkle some fake snow into their lunch and onto your shoulder and meander around the break room. I'd pay to see the reaction.

I remember working with a person with dandruff, it wasn't pretty. Take the shampoo and go wild.

I like how this FML supposedly came from Korea and someone else commented from Korea yet, I just learned yesterday that internet isn't allowed in Korea. Neither are cell phones. Care to explain, Mr. Lying OP?

LUCKY. I'm going to Korea in 5 weeks :D!! --- Umm .. something about Korean culture for you .. The wrapping of ANY gift is really important ... even if it's something not that special ~
