Today, I rushed to the post office to mail an important document for the study abroad program that I'd applied for, which was due in a few days. Just as the envelope slipped out of my hand and into the mail box, I caught a glimpse of the upper right corner where there was supposed to be a stamp. FML

Today, I bought stamps to send a letter. For some unknown reason, instead of putting the stamp on the letter, I posted the letter and the stamp booklet into the postbox. FML

Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML

Today, in my excitement to make some new cards for the postcard exchange I take part in, I apparently spilled my bottle of glue directly into the bag that contains my entire postcard collection. I didn't notice until several hours later. FML

Today, I witnessed a postal worker with an important parcel stopping before knocking on my door, shrugging, getting back in his van, and driving away. I couldn't get the door open quickly enough before he left. FML

Today, on the way to work, I pulled over at a postbox to post a letter. I walked up to the box with the letter in one hand, car key in the other. Guess which one I posted. FML

Today I was very excited to go to the post office to claim a parcel. I didn't know what it could be, so I assumed it was a gift. It turned out to be a speeding ticket. FML

I know how you feel, I forgot a stamp with my student finance form and its really close to the deadline so i didn't have time for another form. I had to go to the post office and beg for my letter back, but they couldn't do that, thankfiully on the way home i saw the postman collecting all the letters and persuaded him to put a stamp on it.

Ignore the trolls. You're not dumb for making a simple mistake, especially since you were probably really stressed, in a situation like that, and stress can make it hard to remember things and concentrate. I hope you managed to get it there on time anyway.

So you wait for the next day for them to stick it back in your mailbox, then send it out again. =P If you didn't put a return address, or didn't leave enough time, then YDI. As a fellow member of EAP, I know that they give you plenty of time to get deadlines.
