Today, I went to visit a friend I hadn't seen in ages who lives alone out in the country. I arrived and found the front door unlocked but no one was home. I went in anyway and helped myself to some food. Then a family I had never seen before came in, and I realized it wasn't my friend's house. FML

Today, while in a hospital waiting room, a man started talking to me. After a few minutes, he asked me what I did for a living, and I said I'm a stay-at-home mom. He looked me up and down and said, "Huh. No life ambitions, huh?" FML

Some help you were

Today, I turned my phone off for the first time in three weeks to have a one-hour nap. I had kept it on because my next door neighbour has health problems and I offered to be an emergency call if he needed help. I was woken up by two ambulances arriving at his house. Turning on my phone, he'd left me 5 voicemails. FML

It's so hard to impress your girlfriend/boyfriend's family perfectly. Just laugh it off and go along with it. I'm sure there are much worse nicknames.... My ex boyfriend's uncle used to call me Chrissy The Sissy.....

You misunderstand them. They aren't calling you that because you're a pathetic loser that they can walk all over. It's because you like to stand at the door and greet people and make sure that their shoes are clean. Trust me, it's not the "pathetic loser" thing. I promise.
