Today, I checked my bank balance, to make sure that the last installment of my funding had been paid in, and realised that I'd been overpaid by £500. So, being honest, I told my boss about this. Turns out, I wasn't overpaid by £500, I was overpaid by £1000 and need to give it all back. FML

Hi, I'm the OP and thought I'd clear this up a bit... I mean, you can't fit much into 300 characters, so I can see why this is confusing... The university keep £500 of my funding to cover the costs of my project, that's why I was never meant to get the last installment of £500 in the first place - but I didn't know that. Yeah, I probably should have just kept it to myself, but meh, I'd feel too guilty as my boss is such a nice guy.

YDI for being an idiot and telling them, what did you think you would get out of it? A banner saying thank you! If you really needed that money you would of kept your mouth shut, since you obviously have 500 to spare!

I agree with #1 cause it makes alotta sense that u would give back 500 but giving back 1000 is just stupid. Seriously. Not an FML
