The idea is simple: in a few sentences, people describe the moments that have ruined their day. These snapshot anecdotes are embarrassing, humiliating, horrific - and very, very funny. Perhaps worst of all, they're all 100 per cent real...

*** Today, I fell asleep. I felt something on my face. I batted it away. It was my hamster. It died from hitting the wall. FML ***

*** Today, I went to the doctor with my parents. When the doctor asked if I was sexually active, I said, 'Yes.' My mom laughed and said, 'Good one.' My dad, for added effect, said, 'Your hand doesn't count.' FML ***

*** Today, my girlfriend dumped me proclaiming she wanted someone more like her 'Edward'. I asked her who Edward was. She held up a copy of her Twilight book. She was talking about a fictional vampire. FML ***

Packed with hilarious stories, this is the perfect gift for anyone who's ever had an FML moment...
