Today, I accidentally belched at the dinner table. At age 22, I got sent to my room with no dessert by my parents. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mother gave me a reprimand for my table manners when I didn't ask for someone to pass the vegetables I could have gotten myself. She then let out a raunchy fart at the table, and had the nerve to yell, "Did you ask to be excused?!" as I vacated the area. FML
Today, while I was waitressing, I bent down to pick up a menu and accidentally farted, really loud, at my table. FML
Today, I accidentally said "Yes Daddy” to my boyfriend while at dinner with his parents. They threw me out. My boyfriend did nothing to defend me. FML
Today, my parents heard me leaving my room at 2 am, and freaked out because they thought I was sneaking out. I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was getting food instead of having a social life. FML
Today, my dad was making a sandwich in the kitchen. Hungry, I snuck in and grabbed it, running back to my room and devouring it. Later at dinner, he dumped a whole scoop of rice in my lap. We all ended up laughing as we cleaned it. FML
Today, I brought my boyfriend over to meet my parents. They prepared dinner for us - mushroom pasta. I have always hated mushrooms, so I spent the entire dinner trying not to gag. Unfortunately, I did gag and my mom got up and smacked me so hard I fell out of my chair. FML
Today, I farted in bed like my parents do. It sounded like an unexpected trumpet. Luckily no one was nearby. I usually don't fart. It took me by surprise. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Today, I went out to dinner with my family. I was given a kids menu when the hostess sat us down. I'm 24. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

In my house my mom and I have burping contests, I understand it being rude in front of guests or in a restaurant but in your own home, it shouldn't be a big deal.. In my opinion x)

At age 22 you shouldn't be living with your parents.

That's bullshit. Buying a house on your own is next to impossible in some countries. I bought one but it still needs renovating so I still live at home. There's no shame in living at home longer unless you are 30+ or something. If you have a wife, girlfriend, husband or boyfriend then yes, buying or renting something is way easier.

I disagree. This culture is ridiculous in stating that everyone should move out at 18. In some European cultures (Italy, for example) it is the norm to live with your folks til your mid-20's. Especially now, unless you have an incredible job (I'm not sure how you manage that at 18, with no experience, or LIFE experience for that matter) you simply can't afford a place of your own.

living at home at 22... I left my parents house the day I graduated high school made my own way from then on. evaluate your life.

everyone's different. I bet your life's been hard as crap to. It's awesome you're independent but don't shun someone because they aren't you.

So after graduation you just packed up and left, huh? Did you have somewhere to go, or were you just a nomad? Are you posting this comment from a library somewhere during your travels?
Saltinecracker 2
I did pack up and leave. I also held a job while in school, saved my money and had a plan. im not saying it is easy but it is exceedingly rare to see people taking personal responsibility for their situations. their is only 6 years between op and myself so its not a generational gap either.

No one should be shaming OP for living at home at 22. They aren't middle-aged, they deserve some time after high school to find a career that provides financial stability before being kicked to the curb. And almost all of my fellow college graduates had to live at home for at least a brief period before they got a job and could pay their own rent again. 22 is a pretty typical age to be going back home in the US.

In the UK too, late 20s is becoming more common. House prices and rent are just too much for a graduate on a low wage. If they can even get a graduate job.

agreed, I'm almost 24 and still at home, although I have had trouble finding solid work the last two years. Nothing to shame people about, rent where I am is about half the average weekly wage.

I wish that was my biggest problem in life

I'm sorry...but this made me laugh more than anything

At least they're still trying to teach you things, like being polite at the table. I'm not going to shame you for being that age and living with your parents, but this implies that they made you dinner. I'm 19, taking care of bills, and living in a cramped apartment with three other people, and I just had a spoonful of peanut butter for dinner. But damn, it was good.

Hey man, Ramen is like... 22 cents a pack. Get some of that shit.
Ohshitdude 21
why are you still living with your parents?
slyde32 12
because houses and rent are expensive, op could be saving to buy his own place, he's still young
man_in_black08 28
you have your own room?!!
bayliejo 2
uh. if you're 22 and still living with your parents, there's obviously something wrong with you.
limabeans101029 21
Bullshit. Houses are expensive and jobs can be hard to find. I know loads of normal people who lived with their parents until they were in their 20s.

It's hard for parents to realize you're 22 and not 12.
