Today, I pulled out a book and my bookmark fell out. My crush picked it up and a weird look came across his face. I then realized I had used toilet paper. Now I'm the girl who reads while taking dumps. FML

Today, I found out that someone found my lost library card, and instead of returning it, took out multiple items. If they don't return them, I'm on the hook to paying over $100 for them. FML

Today, I went to my university bookstore and tried to use my debit card to pay, but got the "Insufficient Funds" notification. I was buying a single postage stamp, which costs 57 cents. 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

Today, I went to the local used books store to sell all my college textbooks. I spent several hundred dollars on them in total. I ended up walking out of the shop a pathetic $3.50 richer. FML

YDI SO Much. Why the hell would you use your credit card as a bookmark? For chrissake use a piece of paper, a gum wrapper, or just fold the damn page. Not trying to be a jerk, That totally sucks, but YDI.

A hundred dollar bill would have worked just as well.

Although I'm going to admit that sucks, I'm gonna have to say that you deserved it.. I mean, couldn't you have used a price of paper? It makes more sense, doesn't it? If you lose the book and you were using a normal bookmark or a paper, you would be able to buy another book. Sorry, but this is on you.

To be fair, losing a credit card doesn't itself mean being unable to buy another book. It means hassle -- getting the card canceled and a new one with a different number sent to you, getting any autopays changed over to that new number, and contesting any charges that weren't yours if your credit-card company gives you any grief about that -- but unless whoever finds the card uses it before you cancel it, and/or your bank and/or card company is obnoxious about removing contested charges, there's no inherent loss of money.
