Today, my grandma begins her second week of unemployment. So far, she has paced outside my door, randomly comes into my room, and I woke up this morning to find a Bible on my bed. I now look forward to going to work every day. FML

When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my grandma told me she likes to clean the house naked every day. I'm staying there all next week. FML
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML
Today, my grandma wasn't feeling well, so I went to her house to check on her. After about 20 minutes, I knew she was feeling better when she looked at me and said, "So, do you have a boyfriend yet? I pray every night that I get to live long enough to see you with a boyfriend." FML
Today, my grandma moved in with us. Along with her 36-year-old boyfriend that none of us knew about. FML
Today, the day after my grandfather's funeral, my grandmother informed me I have 30 days to move out. I've been living with them for four years, helping take care of my sick grandfather. She's already changed the locks and won't unlock the door. FML
Today, it's been a month since my grandma passed away. Up until that point, I'd been visiting her regularly to make sure she was doing okay, and to get out of the house for a change. Now that she's gone, I have one less reason to leave the house. My life is even more dull than before. I want to go back. FML
Today, I just came out of a two-year long depression. I'm finally starting to feel normal, so of course I get a message that my grandmother might have less than a year to live. FML
Today, I e-mailed the online instructor for my job, telling her that I had fallen behind in my work due to my grandmother's passing and the subsequent funeral arrangements, but that I would catch up this week. Her reply? "OK. Hope your grandmother gets better soon." FML
Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML
Today, I'm taking care of my bedridden, 94-year-old grandma. She woke me up at 6 a.m. only to tell me her UTI is still there. Later, she made me interrupt my 15-minute-dinner a total of 4 times because she wanted things like "more lotion in her buttcrack." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If God and boredom is on her side idk if a lock will stop her :/

Unless her grandmother used to be a locksmith when she had a job, I'm fairly sure a lock will stop her no problem

Almost all bedroom locks can be opened with a slide of a card haha don't need to be a locksmith, and even then who knows maybe she was one before.

Who said it had to be a normal bedroom lock, I was thinking more along the lines of a deadbolt

Unfortunately, since she most likely also lives with her parents, they might not want OP to have a bedroom lock. I know my parents would tell me to suck it up and spend time with grandma. Hopefully her parents will at least consider it.

Ask her to do little things to keep her busy :)

Give her some daily tasks and make a list of things for her to do. She just doesn't know what to do with herself anymore. Maybe help her find an easy part time job too if the lists don't help

Ask her to make you cookies ^^ Joke aside, maybe she can do some volunteering. Anything to keep her busy.

You might need to lock your room or just give her something to do.

Sorry if she's bothering ya but having a bible isn't a bad idea. Even if you are not devote, there are good moral codes to go by especially in the Nee Testiment
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 22
No need for a Bible to have morals
d4m4s74 12
Yeah, good moral codes like stone your children if they disobey you and kill rape victims if they don't want to marry their rapist.

You obviously haven't read the bible if you say that. You're taking parts out of context and twisting the meaning around. And the parts in particular being twisted around are in the Old Testament, most of the rules of which Jesus eliminated and changed.
