Today, my girlfriend returned home from a several week vacation with family. Instead of a happy reunion, I was terribly emasculated, publicly, for bringing flowers that "weren't as pretty as all the other couples' in baggage claim." FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend came home with a huge bouquet of roses. They were from an admirer, brainwashing her to think I'm a terrible boyfriend for not buying her flowers like he did. FML
Today, my girlfriend returned from a two day trip. I'd spent the time cleaning the house and working on house projects, so she wouldn't come home and be stressed. She got upset when she got home because the house was clean, and it made her feel inadequate. FML
Today, my girl called me a "brainless, insensitive prick" Why? Because I wanted to surprise her with flowers since she’s been on vacation for 3 weeks and I hadn’t seen her. She was badly sunburned. I’d bought sunflowers. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML
Today, I received gorgeous orchids from my long distance boyfriend. I was excited about it and told my parents. They still are convinced I have no boyfriend and I mailed the flowers to myself. FML
Today, my girlfriend caught the bouquet at her friend's wedding, then shook them in my face like an accusation. I joined in the laughing with everyone else, but it put her in a mood, and she now hasn’t spoken to me in two days. FML
Today, I went to surprise my girlfriend, who was at work at Target, with flowers. I asked the employee at the entrance if she was there. When he asked who I was, his face lit up red and he started profusely apologizing, stating, “She told me you guys broke up.” before guiding me to her area. News to me. FML
Today, I received a bunch of flowers from my 'lover'. This would be fine, except that I don't have a lover, and my boyfriend now thinks I'm cheating. FML
Today, I surprised my girlfriend with roses. She surprised me by getting back together with her ex. FML
Today, my wife and I got into an argument. She ran out, yelling. Later, at work, I felt guilty, so I picked up some flowers and a card. When I presented them to her, she looked puzzled. I made the mistake of reminding her about our argument. She is now mad at me, again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you were her ride you should have left her at the airport and make her take a cab. Damn, what a bitch!
HKCgrimmjow 15
Wondering if you should have bought her a one way ticket back the way she came from. Would that be more romantic? Ignorant selfish people

She was with her family so I don't think he was her ride. Nonetheless, she was a total bitch and I hope he returned the favor by publicly humiliating her by breaking up with her. No one needs an ungrateful woman like that for a girlfriend.

If he wasn't her ride, then why meet her at the airport vs at home etc...? (Yes, I know some guys do it) I read it as she went on vacation to visit her family. And he might not have been able to join her for one reason or another.

Some people have no manners at all, and it does baffle me! O.o

Or give her flowers with chloroform, she smells it and she falls unconscious. Then you do whatever the hell you want with her.

Looks like the old rosé colored glasses fell off while she was away.

Nah, she just substituted for Alfredo.

She likes the scuba?
TylerBurden 21
She definitely got what? A hit with a baseballbat in her holidays? Yeah, I think you are right my friend because she can't be that ungrateful and unhappy by such nice gesture.
dohdohdoh 13
Yep. Nothing stokes anger like guilt. Get her checked for STDs before doing anything.

This whole thread made absolutely no sense to me.

Tell her to go get her own if she's unhappy..

I think more happened on vacation that you know about...can we say...good looking bartender?
cryssycakesx3 23
no, we cannot.

Dump her ass now :D
nycwrestler 17
I don't think that's exactly a reason to dump her, maybe tell her to be more appreciative, but definitely not dump her.

I think the thing is that you don't know the whole story, while she sounds like a ungrateful bitch, there might be something more to it, perhaps she's really insecure and just found out that OP is cheating on her, of perhaps she is pregnant and therefore very emotional and perhaps she's schizophrenic and a part of her reaaaally liked the flowers but the other felt like causing a scene or perhaps she just got attacked by crazy dinosaurs and was therefore a bit stressed out, YOU NEVER KNOW!

75 - "You never know" Which is why you don't make assumptions. We form judgements here based on the data presented. Based on the data presented, we can safely say op's girlfriend acted like a selfish little brat. Personally, I wouldn't stand for that sh/t. I was raised to appreciate ANY gift I got, whether or not is was wanted, useful, a white elephant, etc.
Axipiter 24
White elephants are ALWAYS to be appreciated when received as gifts, no matter the circumstances. I have three that I prominently display in each of my rooms. Also, I'll agree. Based on the information presented, dump the bitch. Return the favour of public humiliation. She can ask someone who got nicer flowers than she did for a ride home.

#16 > I'm all for communicating and discuss issues in relationships but in that case I'd side people who say to dump her. She has not seen him in weeks, he is sweet enough to go all the way to the airport WITH flowers to welcome her back and she publicly insults him because his bouquet is not pretty enough to her taste? Who does that to someone they love? She is a dumb shallow bitch! Honestly how do girls like that get boyfriends in the first place? I don’t get it…
Enslaved 38
Look up the expression "White Elephant" and realize it's not a good thing to own. It means owning something that's a burden more than it's a value. BTW I'm not talking about fake elephant statues. :P

Buy her a return ticket, beter still buy yourself a ticket somewhere nice.
jasdanu 12
She lacks appreciation.

Ya think?

Next time get her some chocolate roses can't go wrong with chocolate.
EvilUndead 9
Some people have allergies. Some other people have skin diseases that violently react to chocolate. So, yeah, a lot can go wrong with it.
poccocurantes 7
Considering the way she treated OP, your point would be?
laya_fml 26
Then, she would have been yelling about how other people had better chocolate.
ICastillo 25
Well damned if you do and damned if you don't. Just give a hug and a kiss next time then.
Enslaved 38
Or how dare he try to sabotage her diet by giving her chocolate. "You just want to make me fat so that other guys won't be attracted to me"!!! :O Watch out! Those psychos are out there!

104 - My father married one. (Love you mom!)
DanielleinDC 34
Fine, #52, assuming she doesn't have allergies, food sensitivities, or any other culinary land mines, you can't go wrong with a box of chocolates. My boyfriend would know what chocolates to get me. And if he greeted me, I would be glad to see him, whether or not he brought flowers or they weren't as pretty as the ones someone else got. OP, your girlfriend is an ungrateful little wench, and you should at a minimum call her out on her awful behavior and at a maximum dump her snotty little ass.

Wow you could've brought nothing it's the thought that counts.
