Today, after I sent around 300 entries to a competition hosted by a deodorant company where the main prize is a trip to Hawaii, spending around 5 hours sending the entries, I won a deodorant. FML

I think you're probably the nicest guy on FML.

Seriously? You should be thankful you won anything.

Lol it's almost sickening how nice he is. I do enjoy reading your positive insights tho' :) keep 'em coming.

At least you won something. Be happy! That's one deodrant's worth of money that you have to spend on something else :P

OP may have spent more on postage to mail the entries than the price of the deodorant she won.

I wish the consolation prize in all of these lottery-type contests was a course in statistics. Once you learn stats, you'll realize that your most rational expectation is that you cannot win. If you do win something big, you should consider yourself very lucky, but it's perfectly normal to lose.

In the same way I wish students had a course in critical thinking each school year...

Sounds like you had an unfair advantage anyway. You could work on your sentence structure as well.

use that time to work instead, thats gonna pay your trip instead of trying to be lucky

Get over it OP... Someone else was better than you
