Today, while in Holland, I lost the bag with my passport, debit and credit cards, license, and camera. I froze my accounts and filled out the paperwork for a new passport. My bag was found the second time I went to the police, with everything in it. Now my accounts are frozen for the 3 weeks I'm here. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML
Today, my purse was stolen. Too bad it had all of my money and my passport. My flight is tomorrow, and the embassy is closed until Monday. Guess who gets to stay in a foreign country with no money and no identification for the next three days. FML
Today, I was excited to start my new job. It was only when I was leaving after a long 8-hour day did I realize all of the personal documents I had I brought in for paperwork had been stolen. I'm now down a passport, social security card, and wallet. Great first day. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML
Today, we're taking the plane home from Dublin after a school trip that I only barely got onto after troubles with my passport. Luckily for me, a kind person had decided to save me from the passport this evening - together with the rest of my wallet. I'm stuck. FML
Today, I picked up my passport, as my previous one was damaged in a car crash. As the teller warned me that a pattern of damaged passports would result in longer processing periods, she spilled her coffee - all over my new passport. I'm supposed to go overseas in a month. FML
Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML
Today, I was at the Polish border when I found my passport was gone. I contacted the last place I stayed at and the owner said he would handle it. I reluctantly agreed as I was being charged international rates. Apparently, "taking care of it" means telling the embassy I'm retarded. FML
Today, we had movers come in to take all of our stuff as the final step to our move to the States. We have our flight scheduled for tomorrow evening. Thing is, they accidentally took my carry-on bag without my knowledge. In that carry-on there was a little something called a passport. FML
Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, call Visa or Mastercard or whoever your cards are with. They can arrange for emergency funds to be send to a bank or Western Union type place near where you are, which will later be debited from your new card. Something similar happened to me while I was in India and about 24 hours later I had been supplied as much money as I needed (up to my credit limit). Just call them and tell them that you're stuck for funds. The verification process is not much fun, but its worth it.

^ This. Or at the very least, they'll usually send you traveler's checks.

this is why when going overseas you should have cash on you in addition to cards. the cash should be on you so even if your bag is lost you are not without money.

Better to be safe though. Thankfully no one stole your bag. Sorry OP :(.

well, at least nothing has been stolen. that would've sucked more. you're lucky one of the few honest people left out there found your bag. still sucks to be in a foreign country without money tho.

well, if your bag would be lost for real, you wouldn't even have clothes to wear! So, don't whine and go prostitute yourself so you'll earn some money. You know the stereotypes about us, so you either have to go smoke some weed(which you can't because you have no money) or you can go 'achter de ramen staan' in Amsterdam. Problem solved, you see? Well, enjoy your stay!
