Today, I went on a few websites to ask for donations for a cheap car part, due to my husband not able to work due to COVID, and we live paycheck to paycheck. I've never had so many only negative comments basically calling me a piece of crap and other words I can't say on here. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I donated $250 to an influencer promising "insider truth" streams, he vanished overnight, channel gone, comments disabled. I called friends for a loan but they're dealing with their own bills. I skipped lunch for two days and now my car payment is overdue. FML
Today, after selling things on eBay all week to afford a nice weekend with my husband and kids, my car died. Now we have to spend the money on a battery. FML
Today, my husband fell for an online scam leaving us 1450.00 in the negative. We get paid tomorrow and most of our money is going to cover that debt. FML
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML
Today, my mum got annoyed and screamed that I should appreciate her more, all because I had to get my car scrapped and wouldn't let her friend who'd offered me 100 pounds less than another scrapper. I'm broke and we're in a cost of living crisis. FML
Today, it's been 8 months since I was downsized and have been having a hard time finding work, despite a good work history and education. Today, I found out that my car needs a new transmission ($4k - $6k). Sometimes, things stink and you just have to laugh. FML
Today, the cashier asked if I wanted to donate $1 to help hungry children. I said, “Not today, thank you.” The man behind me loudly said, “Wow…” Now everyone thinks I hate children. I'm just that broke. FML
Today, despite all I've sacrificed to stay home with my child, and operating a small business while they are in school, my child decided to make a punchline out of me and roasted me in front of the whole family because my husband paid for my car. FML
Today, I was called a "whore," a "demon," a "piece of shit," and a "disrespectful bitch." All of this happened because I wouldn't let my mother-in-law borrow my car. This is a woman with multiple speeding tickets. FML
Today, I was driving home from another long night shift at work. I live from paycheck to paycheck thanks to the current economy and can barely afford rent. To keep myself positive, I thought, "At least my car is paid off." A deer ran out in front of me and totaled my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, it's pretty simple: if he was fully vaccinated but got sick anyway and was unable to work due to long COVID or other permanent COVID-induced disability (which is rare amongst the vaccinated population, but can still happen, especially among the immunocompromised), then your life sucks (as does your nation's incomprehensible lack of public health). If your husband is unable to work because he didn't get vaccinated (and got sick or got fired), he's a moron and YDI.

if you're really that hard up then check with a local church. I hear they try to help people in need

I've never seen how stupid a human can truly be until I read your very uneducated moron comment. I have no idea how you've figured out how to breath and write at the same time. do you have one or two brain cells left? oh none! makes total sense.

Next time, ask for donations to make a gigantic pad thai. I heard the potato salad worked well, but people might be sick of salad by now.

I can see why people get upset. I myself have a nice who begs money for everything and when she has plenty of money and uses what is given her for vacations and gifts to herself. While you have a need, many of us get worn down by constant panhandling online and in person. Also there is a faction who has strong feelings against the whole covid thing. You likely posted in view of that crowd.
