Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home to find my entire action figure collection was gone. My parents told me I am too old for toys, so they opened all of the packages and donated them to Goodwill. I had an original Boba Fett, and my entire collection was worth more than twenty thousand dollars. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, my little sister decided to color-in my favorite black-and-white comic book. It was worth over $200. When I told my mother, she said, "Oh that old thing? I thought it was a stupid coloring book you were too stupid to color." FML
Today, my husband and I have been trying to buy a house and start a family together. Now I find out that he just spent $5000 on comic books. FML
Today, I came home and found my desk devoid of all paper. Turned out my mom dropped by and wanted to surprise me by cleaning up my work area. She threw away over 7 months worth of irreplaceable original sketches, notes and storylines, thinking they were worthless. My job is a full-time artist. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, my mother sold my extensive Star Wars collection, and I cried when I found out. I'm 46. 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?

Because a child knew what they really were? Are you being funny or are you just stupid?

Are you nagging or are you just uptight? It's a joke, lighten up.

I would say that wasn't bad but since you got it from your father.... You might need a nanny now.

How unfortunate! Just tape the tiny pieces back together and it should be as good as new...? Yeah probably not, fyl.

It would be like doing a jigsaw puzzle!

Exactly! Look on the bright side: he'll be the only kid at pre-school with a $2,000 jigsaw puzzle for show-and-tell.

Now you've got a fun DIY project of reassembling the pieces and photo scanning them back together. Just kidding, you're ******.

She was tired...as all moms are. Maybe you should of had them in a place that a child couldn't reach them? Like...oh I don't know...a safe? Protective case?
leadman1989 16
Yeah, or she could drink a five hour energy wake the hell up and watch her damn child. You can only child proof things to a certain point kids have creative ways of hurting themselves when left to their own devices. Although both would be preferable.

As a mom with a 3 year old I couldn't agree more. You keep things put up with a toddler in the house. Luckily my son knows what he is allowed to play with and doesn't mess with mine and my husbands stuff too often.

Maybe you should have your computer in a place you can't reach so you don't say dumb things.

Thumbs up for #21 and #24. You deserved it for having them within reach, and (in case she didn't know) for not informing your spouse the value of the comics. No one to blame here but yourself.

Shit happens. No need to point fingers.

You are assuming mommy didn't decide to let junior play with daddy's comics.

Don't leave valuable things where your two year old can get to them?
Daederoth 10
I doubt he did. His wife most likely gave the child the comic books so she could sleep. And they say murder is never justified?

Oops double post.
