Today, I asked my mom if I was ugly. She said, "Ask your girlfriend." I said I didn't have one. She said "Exactly." FML

Today, feeling very self-conscious about my looks, I told my mom I felt ugly and wished I could be as beautiful as her. She only said, "Yeah, I'm pretty, I wonder what happened to you." FML
Today, I asked my grandmother what she looked like when she was young. She casually replied, "I was ugly, sweetie. Just like you." FML
Today, my little cousin, who just got a boyfriend, found out I've been single my whole life. She asked, "Is it because you're really ugly and awkward?" Yes. Yes, it is. FML
Today, after coming home from hanging out with a few friends, my mom told me that I shouldn't hang out with them any more. Why? Because "they are way hotter than I am and I'll never get a boyfriend if I'm always the ugly one in my group." FML
Today, I asked my mum why she never had any children after me. She scoffed and asked if I've looked in a mirror lately. FML
Today, I was volunteering at the daycare in my area. When this one kid was leaving, he asked his mom, "Why is she so ugly?" FML
Today, my mom asked if I was seeing anyone. I launched into a description of my girlfriend, only for her to interrupt, saying that she meant a therapist, and the fact that I'd just made up a relationship was further proof that I needed one. I really do have a girlfriend. FML
Today, my mom and dad were talking about how if I lost weight, I would be attractive and have guys all over me. My dad said, “That’s exactly what I’m worried about.” It took me a while to realize they both think I’m ugly. FML
Today, the 6 year old girl I was babysitting asked me, "Why are you so ugly? Are you an alien? Because aliens are about as ugly as you are." FML

That's when you tell her, "Thank you for your beautiful genetics."

I'm sorry but your mom is pretty funny xD
whiteboy896 9
you spelled bitch wrong.
olpally 32
No, that was ******* mean.
NeatNit 32
#9, I have no idea why but I was sure at first that you wrote "you spelled bitch wrong twice". It was funnier.
Grayness_ 26
#1, what you put was actually funny. And that's what I thought also. There's a lot of sensitive ass people here.
charrmaander 10
I agree hahah
Snazzy_Snaz 17
I will not lie, but I did laugh when I read it. However, that doesn't mean what I thought she did was appropriate. OP's mom is an asshole for saying that. A mother should be way more caring to their child.
ApollosMyth 22
The mother may be an asshole, but she was an asshole in a funny way, which I saw humor in. It's kind of like stand up comedians; funny, but a bitch half the time.
awkward611 26
I didn't think it was appropriate either but instead of writing a paragraph about it I just said I thought it was funny because it is and I doubt she was serious
DDCA 24
I thought it was quite appropriate. The sensitive people on this site have sucked the joy out of leaving creative, cynical and sometimes brutally honest comments that only enhance the antic dote OP's leave. If the poster is able to laugh at themselves and the situation, the commenters should be able too, as well. Kudos to you for not stating the obvious. And a nice middle finger for the sensitive FML readers who ruin comments by thinking their bullshit Dr. Phil advice is appreciated on here.

I agree, it's a comments section on a website based on humor. All the grammar Nazis and overly sarcastic "comment police" are getting really annoying
Shy_Anne 10
Your mother is rather hilarious

i'm so sick of reading comments to FMLs saying "what a bitch." learn some respect you guys! all the mom did was make a joke. im sure she didnt mean it to sound so harsh, and that OP didnt take it to heart. lighten up!
feelingold 18
Ha, if OP was a girl the commenters would have been all over her about "compliment fishing". But not with a guy eh?
laden_swallow09 34
99- Nope. I pressed YDI because he was fishing for a compliment, even if it were a genuine concern for his own self-image. Sometimes you reel in a rusty old can or a holey boot. Doesn't matter if a guy or a girl, you're leaving yourself open to that.

#99 & 104: I know right? Double standards tends to lurk amongst many commenters on this site... I don't know why people decide asking if they're ugly is the best way to get a compliment in the first place. It gives you like two seconds of happiness, just before you end up seeing another flaw you'd want a compliment/reassurance on. Which is why "fishing for a compliment" is a good saying. You'll keep casting to get more fish, right? Well yeah... I don't even think I made sense lol
olpally 32
Wow! What a bitch thing to say... :/ damn. This warrants a falcon punch.
golden_warrior 23
I have been reading your comments and for some reason you always sound mad. Bitch this or bitch that. You need to take it easy:) however, your comments are entertaining.
Welshite 39
I really feel sorry for your mother when she tells you to clean your room, Olpally.
olpally 32
I take care of myself. Thanks. I'm mad cuz I work too much. Meh.

You need to buy a game of Angry Angry Hippos. It's a great stress reliever.
Stylux_fml 16
Correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't it Hungry Hungry Hippos?
SumBur 11
Well I don't know about you but being hungry hungry makes me angry angry.
CallMeMcFeelii 13
Yes, it is Hungry Hungry Hippos.. Haha. It was a weak attempt of a sarcastic joke.
drewflav 17
I think what #3 really means to say is a Chuck Norris punch or possibly even a roundhouse kick. After all, the Falcon Punch is nothing more than a knockoff of Chuck Norris hitting something in his sleep ;)
Oddyesy 6
Other way around, sir. Captain Falcon is the stuff of Chuck Norris's nightmares.
FimogenFeels 14
You need someone who thinks you're a good person and doesn't think poorly of your looks, which is worth waiting for.
DJisHere11 19
#4 It's worth the wait. He can't wait on another mother can he. She also didn't say he was a bad person. I'm confused on how this got thumbs up.

That's when you tell her, "Thank you for your beautiful genetics."

another burn from mom coming after. "you're adopted"

"Thank God, then there's still hope for me!"

"So it does run in the family."
Bludmagnus 13
Exactly.
flashback.miss 28
But Troll Mom strikes again. But, remind her you get half of your looks from her.
expertsmilee 26
YDI, get a girlfriend and maybe this wouldn't happen.
ryanthecheeseguy 18
This is one of the ******* most insensitive comments I have seen in a while.
truepanda 2
...says the guy who is ugly looking
Welshite 39
#18: I admit the comment was ridiculous, but insults such as that are uncalled for.
jamsie_fml 17
So he makes a dumb ass comment and you insult his looks, 18? That's nice of you.
Meowingtons500 18
That's harsh OP. I'm sure you look fine! If you want a significant other put yourself out there! Go meet people! Stay positive friend. :)
Redoxx_fml 22
And even if he is so what? Shrek found true love
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
Ya and shrek didnt even have a great personality.
Mauskau 35
If you need evidence of ugly people with ugly personalities finding someone and sometimes many, try the Jeremy Kyle show.
ciumegu 6
Lol if she's your real mom then she looks just as bad as you:)
DFresh503 8
Well, half as bad at least... Or is it twice as bad? I dunno, that's why I'm no geneticist.
nanxi 30
Damn, not even a face only a mother could love.
