F My Life
April 21, 2010Jon Brooks Comments OffThe F in the web site FMYLife doesn’t exactly stand for “fabulous,” if you know what I mean. Here, people post short anecdotes about what’s recently gone wrong in their world, and since they’re about somebody else, they’re often quite funny.
Some related to money and work:
Today, I received a call from a collection agency saying I owe $27,000. Apparently my mother has been using my identity because I had so much money saved up and such good credit. I was going to use that money and good credit to put a down payment on a house to get away from her. FML

Today, I went to the movies. When I got out, I saw that someone hit my car but were nice enough to leave a note. It said, “Ouch – that’s going to cost you some money.” They signed it with a happy face sticking out its tongue. FML

Today, I bought an app on my iPod touch that was $900 because I thought it was just a joke. Turns out it wasn’t. My mom gets mad at me if I just buy an app that’s costs 99 cents. I’m scared to leave my room now. FML

Today, I received a rejection letter from a potential employer in the form of a post card. FML

Today, I learned that my younger sister spent the sterling silver dollar I had bought her from the Vancouver 2010 Olympics to buy herself a KitKat bar. I spent a good $60 on that coin. FML

Today, I spent more money mailing my tax forms than the amount of money I will be getting back. FML

Today, a homeless guy asked me for some change to feed his starving dog he had with him. I gave him $5 because I love animals. He asked me to watch the dog while he went into a shop to get food. I now own a dog. FML

Today, I lost my wallet with 300 dollars in it as I was going to run some errands throughout the day. Later on, it managed to find its way back to my mailbox, emptied to the last penny with a note saying, “Don’t worry I rewarded myself.” FML

Today, I called my dad and asked him to email me a copy of my birth certificate, so I could forward it to my new employer. He named the file “ThatDreadfulDay”, and I didn’t notice until after I had forwarded it. FML

Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML

Today, I fell in a river with a £700 camera, a £200 lens, and an iPhone while trying to rescue a 50 pence ball for my dog. FML

Today, I found out the electric bill I have been paying was on my old house. I found this out when they shut off the power to my house. FML

Today, my cell phone died, and my power went out. I was expecting a phone call about getting a job. Two hours later the power came on and I saw I had one missed call. They told me I didn’t get the job because I was too unprofessional to pick up my phone. FML

Today, while playing poker, I lost a stack of money to somebody with the screen name “Poopface.” FML

Today, I had an interview for a job I have been very excited about. All during the interview my nose tickled like crazy. My eyes began to water and all I could think about was making it stop. When I got to my car I stuck my finger up there and found a large winged insect. FML

Today, after months of begging and applying, I finally got the job where the girl of my dreams works. After being showed what to do, my new boss turned around and fired her. I hate this job. FML

Today, I had an interview for a second job. The interview took longer than I expected, and I ended up being late to my other job. They fired me. The other job turned me down. Now instead of having two jobs, I’m unemployed. FML

Today, I fell asleep at work. I woke up to hear a voice at my ear, and, thinking it was my friend, I smacked him in the face. It turned out to be my boss. FML

Today, I opened up outlook express. It reminded me to go to a job interview… five hours ago. FML

Today, I walked into Mcdonalds to get a meal. I saw the donation box and felt generous so put some money in. Instead of putting a $5 note I put a $100 note. I asked if they could open it to get it back. They didn’t have a key. FML
