Today, I spent an hour writing 80 thank you cards to everyone who attended my graduationg party. After carefully personalizing each one and sealing them shut, I realized I did not mark the envelopes with names. FML

Today, I finally got around to writing my Christmas cards. After finishing, I realized I had written "Happy Birthday" instead of "Merry Christmas" on every single one. FML

Today, I was doing a little victory jig after finally sending out the last of the invitation cards for my wedding when I realised that I had forgotten to put the date of the event on them. FML

Today, I began writing thank-you cards for the gifts I got for my 21st birthday. To one set of grandparents, I wrote, "Thank you for the dancing chicken toy," and to the others I wrote, "Thank you for the $10 check." Those were the only gifts. 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, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML

Today, I sent a thank you note after a job interview, emphasizing my accuracy at editing written reports; I misspelled the company's name. FML

Today, I was wrapping Christmas presents for various people; 17 to be exact. It wasn't until I placed the last present on top of the stack that I realized I didn't put gift tags on any of them. FML

Today, I got a cross-country job promotion. I decided to plan my Going-Away-Forever party, and bought a pack of 100 invitations. After mailing them out to all my friends, I have 92 left. FML

Today, after many days of messing around with wording and pictures, a huge and expensive printed card order came in to the office. I spelt the first word wrong. I can't get a refund. FML

Today, I woke up early to prepare for my graduation party. I'd invited the entire graduating class of 2011, and tons of people confirmed that they were going to come. Two hours after the time I'd told everyone to show up, I'm still the only one here. FML

If you are sending "Thank you" cards then WTF didn't you just write it on a computer, print out 80 copies and send them? And why do you need names? Thank you cards should just say "Thank you for coming at my graduation party" Done.

They like spending money on stamps and other materials, obviously.

They write thank you cards for the gifts and money that are inevitably given at graduation parties, not for simply being there. if it was in an e-mail, it would mean that the internet has officially consumed every drop of class and tradition in the world as we know it.

Who said anything about e-mail? Print out copies instead of writing 80 cards. Obviosly almost every guy has a bad handwriting so writing it on the computer would seem nicer then write with a bad handwriting.

If you have special order envelopes and can't replace them, just open carefully and seal with tape or double sided tape.

I think you would make a great wedding planner. Next time I suggest hugs and high 5's. You can never go wrong with a high 5. How could you pay so much attention to detail and totally miss putting names on EVERY envelope.
