Today, after recently complaining that the reality show "The Great Norway Adventure" portrays us as a country of nationalistic rednecks, I saw my drunk dad chasing my uncle on a tractor while bellowing the national anthem at the top of his lungs. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my uncle drove to my house in his tractor, beer in one hand, and a radio strapped to the dash blasting country music at unimaginable volume. Neither of us live on a farm. Half the neighborhood stood angrily glaring at us until we went inside. FML
Today, I realized my family is the textbook definition of redneck after listening to my grandpa threaten to smash with an excavator the trailer that my uncle lives in behind our house if he didn't return the set of tires he had stolen and pawned from my grandpa's garage. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to a family dinner. It went well, until my dad got drunk and started telling everyone about how "midgets" are assholes and are ruining America. FML
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
Today, I came home to see my dad sitting in his car. I thought it'd be fun to sneak up on him. He was filming himself on his phone, ranting about "fighting like hell" and "a storm coming." He had his baseball cap on backwards, probably because the front had the name of our town in Wales on it. FML
Today, a drunk man started yelling at the lamppost outside my house, demanding to be let inside, all while my neighbors watched. That man is my dad. FML
Today, my alcoholic dad finally came to see to my last dance recital after years of never showing up to watch me. He got kicked out of the audience for snoring too loud. I could hear him from the stage. FML
Today, my drunk dad started yelling at my dog for not having a job. FML
Today, I found out my dad thinks he's famous because he's been on 'Cops', twice. FML
Today, I realized that what I thought for years was my country's National Anthem, is actually the theme song of a TV show. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's okay, OP. Your country's redneck TV shows will always be overshadowed by Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty.

I'd like to see a redneck American or football Hooligan Brit write an FML in Norwegian.

football hoolligans are not our redneck equivelant. more like inner city chav.

I'm sure I read an FML almost exactly like this, except in America, a few months back. Except there was a grandpa instead of an uncle involved.

I thought we Americans were the cornerstone of rednecks. I'm totally ok with other countries helping to carry that humiliating torch

Could be worse - could be singing The Fox by Ylvis (unless that really is the new national anthem - wont surprise me) （≧∇≦）

We have a reality show here in America called Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Look it up online, it should lift your spirits and you'll appreciate your country more.

I don't think that show would lift anyone's spirits no matter where they are from. Its very existence makes me want to eat puppies.

I seriously hope that show doesn't lift anything, not just spirits...
