Mortified B&M shopper buys Christmas decoration without realising how rude it looks

A B&M shopper has been left red-faced after buying what seemed like an innocent Christmas decoration.

On closer inspection, Nic realised she had got more than she bargained for in the budget shop - as it appears to spell a rather inappropriate phrase.

B&M's wooded sign is adorned with sweet festive details, including reindeer ears and a Christmas tree. The word art is supposed to spell out the word FAMILY, but the letters 'A', 'I' and 'Y' are replaced with other features to create a fun optical illusion, reports Daily Mirror.

The letter 'A' is replaced with a light blue Christmas tree, while the 'L' has been ditched in favour of a darker blue Christmas present, and 'Y' has taken the form of a reindeer.

The festive buy would make a lovely addition to anyone's living room - or so Nic thought, until she gave it a closer look after placing it on her TV cabinet.

Taking to TikTok to share the festive fail, Nic, who posts under the username @nic.ep79, wrote: "Buying what I thought was a nice FAMILY Christmas ornament.

"Then realising it looks like it says 'F**k my life," she added with a face palm emoji.

The missing letters on the seemingly innocent ornament make it look as though the it spells out 'FML' which is an abbreviation of 'f*** my life'.

Thankfully, Nic would see the funny side of the whole ordeal, as many people flocked to the comments section on her video to share how baffled they were by the decoration.

One person wrote: "OMG, I bought that and I can't unsee it now".

While another joked: "For the way this year went, I would get a FML ornament".

A third person said "help my mom [sic] has that" while others were puzzled as they couldn't see the 'FML' lettering on the sign.

This isn't the first time that B&M's cheeky festive decoration has caught the attention of shoppers, as the sign originally went viral on Facebook earlier this month when another customer noticed the hilarious mishap.
