FUCK ME, MAKE IT STOP Edmonton, Canada

Today, I had to go to a big dinner with my insane relatives. Highlights of conversation included my sister telling us about the "country of Iowa", my dad accusing me of faking my chronic fatigue syndrome, and my grandpa claiming that Nelson Mandela is the Antichrist. FML

Anonymous Portland, United States

Regular occurrence

Today, my family’s usual Sunday dinner turned into a shouting match over politics. My uncle called me a “brainwashed socialist,” my cousin accused me of being a “capitalist pig,” and my grandma just sat there eating pie, which made me want to call her a "fence-sitting centrist", which is when I realized that maybe we shouldn't ever talk about politics again.

I read it and thought, "Please don't let this be in the US..." Pleasantly surprised.

At least you guys have something to discuss. My family on the other hand, we just eat silently. No one talks.

That is so awkward 13... How boring.

Whenever I saw OP was from Canada it instantly made me think of Trailer Park Boys.

13...Whats this sitting down at a table thing you do?

Isn't that right by New Zealand? Haha Jaykay my brother thinks psalms in the bible says possums :/

Jaykay? Really?

Oh em gee, I can't believe you said something like that.

Maybe it is because English isn't my first language, what does jaykay mean? if i'd have to guess, it means joking??

Close. "Just Kidding".

And it's actually supposed to be the acronym "JK" for just kidding, not spelled out.

Do you have a filter?

el oh el I can't believe you totes just said jaykay

I don't even know what you're trying to say .. New Zealand isn't even mentioned in this FML, and neither is the Bible ..

#10 J.K. Rowling?

He was making a joke that the 'country of Iowa' is next to New Zealand

Something is wrong with your family.

In the country of Iowa, Nelson Mandela is the antichrist

Chronic fatigue syndrome is not real there I hear.

And in the country of New York, Al Sharpton is the antichrist.

Ya family dinners suck unless you're part of the Full House family!

Ah families. Where all the pent up crazy hides.

Although I agree, this is completely unrelated.

Iowa is the connection. ..

#19 It is still unrelated. It would be like me saying "I went to Iowa once and I was pelted with potatoes by civilians." Yeah, both involve Iowa but it would still be unrelated.

#37, it'd most likely be corn we pelt at you.

#53 That's what I thought what would happen, but potatoes were thrown instead. :(

Hey, at least you seem sane.

Coming from a crazy, psycho family, I can say I feel for you. It's like being in a circus, except not fun and you can never leave.

Being nice and kind all the time does things to the mind... dark and evil things.

Be nice and evil instead.
