Today, my friend told me she'd lost her notebook filled with crucial notes for our finals. She asked if she could borrow mine and copy my notes. She then lost my notebook too. FML

Today, after searching frantically for my economics notes for a week, I asked my friend to send me pictures of hers. I recognised my handwriting on the pictures she sent me and she admitted she'd "borrowed" them. The exam is in three days and she refuses to meet me and give my notes back. FML

Today, a "friend" of mine decided stealing my very low amount of sticky notes repetitively to make origami and show off was okay, even though I had repeatedly asked her to stop. Then, when I snapped, I was the bad guy, and everyone who was around started stealing my pencil case to get them. FML

Today, my friend asked if she could come over to my place. Since it's my birthday tomorrow, I said sure. Turns out she just wants to copy all my notes for our upcoming exam. FML

Today, I was copying an assignment from my friend and was feeling confident that I was gonna pass. I later found out I copied his name too, so the teacher failed us both. He won't talk to me now. FML

Today, I took a final for my law class. As I was taking the test, I noticed the girl on my left copying off me. I wrote all the wrong answers on my sheet while writing the correct answers on my desk hoping she would copy the wrong answers down. I forgot to write the correct answers on my test. FML

Today, I took my binder on a short road trip two hours away from my home, so that I could study for my upcoming finals. When I got home, I realized I that had left my binder all the way there, containing my notes, classwork, homework, finals notes, etc. FML

Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML

Today, I walked into my office and found my ex-roommate going through my desk. Apparently, despite not wanting to be friends or even speak anymore, he has no qualms about "borrowing" my Master's thesis so he can compare and write his. FML

Today, while getting ice cream with a friend, her car got broken into. Nothing was taken except my backpack, which contained assignments making up 50% or more for grades in four separate classes. FML

Today, my boss used our communal notebook to bitch out our entire department for not leaving a note notifying her that one of the machines was down. She wrote it on the same page as the note I left saying that one of the machines was down. FML

#14, wait, we're going back to the old-fashioned spelling? I thought in the Internet Age, we had upgraded to "looser." I guess I owe Beck an apology.

Try next time going with someone to photocopy them, that's the quickest and best bet.

True but a lot of people, myself included, find it much easier to remember the notes if they write it down themselves instead of someone just giving them copies to read. However if my friend lent me notes that important I would be sure to keep the book in my sights at all times.

I lost my notebook today too. It was a tiny pocket notebook in which I keep all the codes I need for work. I was really heartbroken when I discovered it, soggy and illegible, among the clothes I was putting in the dryer. Sorry, OP. Guess it's back to the drawing board for both of us. :(

If she was irresponsible enough to loser her own notes, what makes you think she'll be more careful with your property - which, by the way, won't affect her much if she loses it? YDI. Next time offer to photocopy them or even just take pictures with your phone or something.

I agree. Especially with something as important as a notebook for finals (with "crucial notes" in it). Sadly, this is the first FML that I think that the OP totally deserved it.

Give her another notebook then follow her around... Maybe her steps would be repeated and you'll find the lost books!

I would be a little scared if someone who let me borrow a notebook was constantly following me.

The fact that she lost her notebook should have been a red flag.

Is your friend notorious for losing stuff? If so, YDI because you gave her your notes anyway. You should have made her copies instead of giving her the hard copies.
