Cats, Awkward and Mother in law: Air filters - FML

Air filters

By David - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Seattle

Today, my mother-in-law moved in because she has a hip problem. I don't know what's worse, her constant complaining and slob like tendencies, or the eight cats she brought along with her. FML

If she's living in your house, you need to set lines and not let her run you over.

While I love cats, 8 is far too many for one household. Two is fine, three maybe if you have a big house, but beyond that it's crazy cat lady all the way.

Actually, come to think of it, where I live (according to the council) you can have two cats, three under certain conditions, and four and over you have to obtain a license/permit thing because you're officially a cattery :O

I have four cats. Two are elderly and one was rescued at about a week old. Naturally he needed a companion his age to play with so we adopted a brother. I hardly find having four cats crazy.

This sounds like a scenario in my family... Except replace slob with OCD cleaning, and 8 cats with 11.

I vote for constant complaining. I've never experienced anything more mentally exhausting than living with someone who complains ALL the time about damn everything!

Today, to spice things up a bit, my wife and I were having sex in our kitchen. She was up on the counter and I moved her over to get in a better position. The stove was still hot from dinner, so now my wife has a burn that looks like a double rainbow on her ass. FML

Today, I had an awful day and angrily threw a glass at the wall. Needless to say, I didn't feel like cleaning it up, and I took a nap, intending to do it later. I thought I would remember the bits of glass everywhere when I woke up. I didn't, but my feet soon did. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because apparently, I'm a drug addict who can't speak without slurring and stumbling with my words. I have a recurring speech impediments and the stammer is definitely real. FML

Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML

Today, I was washing some clothes in the laundry room at my apartment complex. I went back an hour later, passed my neighbor on the way in, and moved my clothes to the dryer. I just brought them back from the dryer, and all my underwear are missing. FML

Today, I used a restroom. While doing my thing, the power in my building completely went out. There was another person in the restroom making demonic noises and scratching at my stall. When the power came back on, he was gone. I think I'm being haunted. FML
