Today, my mom and I flew three hours from Wyoming to a volleyball camp in Kentucky. When we arrived, we went to the volleyball center and told them I was there for the volleyball camp. They told me it had been cancelled two weeks ago and they forgot to call us. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, I had an all day volleyball tournament in a town an hour away. My dad left early, not realizing he was my ride home. I'm now stranded in the middle of a rural town with no way home anytime soon. FML
Today, I tried to make my mom feel better about me leaving for camp for 2 weeks by saying I wish she would come too. She took me seriously and called the camp and is now a camp counselor there. The only problem is I lied about going to the camp, and I'm really going to my boyfriend's lake house. FML
Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML
Today, I had a volleyball game, and we were down by 13 points. I looked up at the crowd, and my mom was shaking her head in disappointment. When it was my turn to serve, I aced them, and tied the score. When I looked up she was gone. She'd left. When I got home, I heard how I sucked for an hour. FML
Today, I found out that my mother in-law's flight home is canceled, and that she's staying three more days. FML
Today, I found out my mom booked me a flight to stay with relatives who I don't like, and who don't like me. I leave in two days, and don't return until the day before school starts. FML
Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I told my mom I was going hiking with a couple of friends and wouldn't be back for four or more hours. Not even two hours later, she called the cops and reported us as missing. She didn't realize that we wouldn't have service up the canyon so we could call her back. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's sucks and they really dropped the ball. Sorry your camp got cancelled OP and you wasted money flying down too. Some people are just careless and inconsiderate

Should phone up the appropriate people and demand reimbursement for the flight fees and improve their common courtesy, in the meantime enjoy Wyoming

Courtesy call? I feel for you OP
JennaNGood 21
Not to mention they clearly didn't refund OP's parents, or I'm sure they would have figured out something was wrong.

I'm from Kentucky and this is the kind of shit you get here! My good ole Kentucky home! -__-

Now that's bad luck. Call first next time is the lesson here IMO

If you received a confirmation when you booked the trip, why would you call before you go? It's the camp's responsibility to alert the participants of a change.

#46 we all see it..unless blind and/or illiterate people have suddenly found a use for this site.
ohSNAPyall 26
You know blind people can use the Internet, right? They can use a screen reader.

Sucks, they should have called! But, while you are there, check out visitors attractions. Hey, if you're there anyway, make a mini vacay with mom. Explore and see stuff!

More to see there than in Wyoming!!

That's for sure. I would know, I'm from Wyoming. The only thing worth seeing there is Jackson Hole, but only for the skiing! Wyoming is so sparsely populated that I probably know OP, too.

They are from Wyoming. The volleyball camp was in Kentucky.

I agree with #5; they should reimburse you and your mom OP. How long 'til you can get a new flight back? Enjoy yourselves while you're out there.
buttcramp 21
totally agree! they should get free camp next season too!

I see this being a judge Judy episode...

Great excuse for a relaxing holiday now!
shivamtrivedi 24
You should hit everyone there on the face with their own volleyballs. They deserve at least that much for being so courteous.

Nice thought, except the camp was CANCELLED. There would not be anyone there to throw balls at.
capsizedatsea 15
How about they throw the balls at the people that run the centre when they told them IN THE CENTRE it was canceled? So there must have been someone there to tell them.
HJKM_fml 19
Unless someone simply posted a sign on the locked centre door. I wouldn't put it past a place like that.

refund and sue for more
Tthug 34
Yes, because a few hundred bucks is totally worth paying a lawyer 10 grand. I seriously hope you're joking. One of the first lessons is suing people with the money. If this camp can't stay open, how much money do you think they have?
yerawizardlizzy 27
No, they shouldn't sue, but who said the camp canceled because of money issues?
jaellin 18
I personally wouldn't sue in this case, but $10k is a bit extreme. And we really have no idea how much was spent on tickets, hotel, etc., not to mention the cost of the camp itself. Those types of things can be insanely expensive. Plus the camp being canceled and poorly run doesn't necessarily mean it's broke.

Lol its funny how people voted 'you deserved it' on this one.
lenehey 7
I don't think they deserved it, but seriously, who goes to Kentucky to play volleyball? And, if you were so inclined, would you seriously fly halfway across the country?? And, if you were still inclined to fly halfway across the country to play VOLLEYBALL, seriously, wouldn't you at absolute minimum make sure it was a world class operation/league/spirts center? Now that I think about it, maybe they do deserve it!
ksks1234 33
33-- someone that PLAYS volleyball probably would go to Kentucky to play volleyball. Maybe she travels there because she plans on playing volleyball in college or she wants to be a pro. Maybe this place is a great facility, they just accidentally dropped the ball in this one instance. Just because you think volleyball isn't important enough to fly to Kentucky, doesn't mean OP has the same view,
buttcramp 21
yeah maybe OP picked the best volleyball coach in the country or something.. but then you think they'd have a facility organized enough to call.. lol I'm on the fence about it.

Wow so many negative votes. Haters, haters everywhere. :D

Again, I ask you: Kentucky!?! Since when is anyone in Kentucky known for their outstanding volleyball? Now if you're looking for some good bourbon, ir maybe a fine race horse, it might be the place to go. But not volleyball. Sorry if I offended anyone!

Think positive! Turn it around by spending some quality time with your mom instead! =)
