Today, my wife and I decided it would be funny to pull a prank on her family who we were going to see for dinner. I hid in the foyer while she went in and announced to her parents that she was leaving me. I watched as her mother hugged her daughter and cried "Finally..." FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a family dinner. Things went great, until my grandma arrived. She thought it would be okay to continue our friendly prank war by congratulating me on my "wife's" pregnancy. My girlfriend actually believed it, and now thinks she's the "other woman". FML

Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML

Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML

Today, I drove 3 hours to surprise my girlfriend, who I hadn't seen in 3 weeks. When she opened the door, she gasped, told me to fuck off and slammed the door in my face. FML

Today, I told my best friend I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. He thought it would be funny to tell her I was going to propose to her that night. She showed up telling me how much she loves me and that when we get married how great it will be. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend home to meet my parents. They thought it'd be hilarious to put on ridiculous accents and act like country hicks, spewing obscenities and strongly hinting that we're into incest. She soon left in disgust. I haven't heard back from her since. FML

You have some odd ideas of what constitutes a prank...

Well I saw that one coming. I hope that was the moment you jumped out so you didn't have to hear all the stuff they were probably about to say. "Finally... you're leaving that asshole Jeff, remember when he tried to play that prank last year at your Grandpas wedding and he had a heart attack?" Let's hope we learned something here.

bummer dude. Usually pranks like that and 3 way calling you are bound to hear something you didn't want to.

I do agree with #16 that they were never going to talk about what a wonderful guy you were if they thought she'd just left you, but it does sound like her mother was doing more than just that. It was a stupid prank, but I don't think you quite deserved to hear that your wife's whole family doesn't like you.

hmm...you and your wife should've gone with something more shocking. Like if she said she had killed you or hid your body in the backyard. Or that she's leaving you because she recently found out she was gay.

#18 wins for sure :) or even more shocking she caught OP making out with her brother and get some gay and accusatory action in there :) I'd love to see her brother turn red and start spluttering at that one xD
