Money and Transportation: No refunds, no returns

No refunds, no returns

By Gabi - 09/01/2010 18:00 - United Kingdom

Today, I spent about half an hour trying to decide whether to buy a top, because even though it was lovely, it was really expensive. Eventually, after deciding to buy it because I could always return it if I changed my mind, I got home and realised I'd left it on the bus. FML

Today, I finally bought the expensive but beautifully stylish dress I've been eyeing for ages online. Ten minutes later, I went back to check the shoes the model was wearing so I could coordinate my outfit. The dress had been reduced to half price. FML

Today, my usual 15 minute return trip from the fabric store took almost an hour and a half due to traffic. Once I finally got home, I realized I misunderstood the pattern I'm using and only bought half the fabric I needed. FML

Classic

Today, I went to the supermarket to buy just one item - a single, ripe avocado. After spending way too long choosing the perfect one, I got to the checkout counter. I'd left my wallet at home. I had to abandon my poor avocado. FML

Today, I finally finished my Christmas shopping and felt like an absolute champion. That was until I got home and realized I'd left one of the shopping bags in the parking lot. The bag contained the most expensive gift I'd bought. FML

Long day

By Tom - 26/04/2017 18:00

Today, I got the bus to work instead of walking so I could be there faster. However, I accidentally got on the wrong bus which let me off a mile and a half away from my workplace. Then, after another half-hour of trying to walk there, I found that it wasn't even open that day. FML

Today, I went to the supermarket; it was taking me ages to walk home because of the heavy food bags. Halfway home, I realised I had gone in my car. I had to walk all the way back to get my car. FML

Today, I forgot my library book on a bench then I got on a bus, so I got off at the next stop and walked back to get it. I arrived just in time to see some guy pick it up and hop on another bus. So now I'm not on the bus I needed, and I have to pay for the book. FML

Late start

By Rachel - 18/05/2009 15:23 - United States

Today, I was planning on meeting my friend at the mall. She came late, and I was in the dressing room trying on a few things. When I came out to meet her, she looked at me oddly and said, "You shouldn't buy that, it looks terrible on you." Those were the clothes I came in. FML

Ouch. That sucks big time. This is one of the many reasons I hate shopping. When you do find something you like it is so expensive that it takes more time to commit to buying it than it took to find it in the first place.

That really sucks. Mabey you should think about getting a car, then you wouldn`t lose stuff on the bus.

I'm sorry, but luckster is a complete moron. Just because you don't have the money to buy expensive stuff, doesn't mean anyone who does is a spoiled pig. You are the reason why we can't have nice things.

I agree with spending money on clothes to look nice but I don't understand when people spend a grand on clothes and not a penny on charity. The person (south...) themselves pointed out that they think that the poor people deserve to be poor because they are the cause of their own situation which I HIGHLY disagree with. Not everybody is poor because they choose that for themselves. Nobody and I mean nobody wants to starve to death or freeze to death in the cold. I just think that the person south.. should get off their self-righteous ass and see that there are more things in world than Gucci purses. True happiness resides in the happiness of those whom you have helped. I ask south.. who have she helped today? And whose life has she made better by living? Ask ME that, I will be glad to share my experiences. Sorry... got a little carried away there.

I think it was more to the fact that whoever she was arguing with more or less implied she didn't even wear the same pair of clothes twice, Luckster was probably angry by the waste of money when we're in the middle of the credit crunch, where almost every penny is needed.
