Today, I asked my son to go to the grocery store across the street and pick up some lettuce. He sighed and said, "Why don't you just order it on Amazon?" FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, yet again, we have a fridge full of food, but my wife asked if we can order pizza in front of the kids, who all started jumping in excitement yelling, "PIZZA!" Now I can either say no and deal with pouting and tantrums, or waste money on crappy pizza. FML
Today, while having a romantic dinner at home with my date, my Alexa randomly asked, “Would you like to reorder adult diapers?” She then followed up with, “You last ordered them two months ago.” I don't have kids. I don't have grandparents. I don't have an explanation. FML
Today, in a supermarket, my four-year-old son whispered to me, asking if the checkout lady was able to wash between her fat rolls. She heard. FML
Today, I ordered food for delivery. I actually made it sound as if there were other people at home so I had an excuse for ordering so much. I don't think they bought it. FML
Today, my husband offered to do the weekly grocery shopping. Because he has never done the shopping before, I made him a list of what we needed and other optional foods to give him an idea of what to get. He came back with a week's worth of ramen noodles and 2 litres of soda. FML
Today, my Doordash driver texted me to let me know my son had picked up the food I'd ordered. I don't have kids. FML
Today, due to my wife saying I never cook and that we always order pizza, I spent a good hour preparing dinner. While serving it to my kids, they started complaining. My wife told them to shut up. When she took a bite, she looked up at me, smiled, and said, "Do you, you know, want to just order pizza?" FML
Today, my son decided to run around a supermarket in his underwear, leaving me to chase after him. FML
Today, I asked my mom if I could borrow $20 since I don’t get paid until Friday. She responded with, “Why don’t you return those packages that arrived this week from your online shopping sprees?” FML
Today, my wife gave me hell for not returning an Amazon package to Whole Foods on my day off. The closest Whole Foods is twenty minutes away, right by my work. Why should I waste an hour of my day off when I can do it after work tomorrow? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Make sure you use Amazon Prime, and tell him you'll call him down for dinner in 2 days.

They do deliver groceries lol. It's called AmazonFresh; I'm surprised no one here has heard of it it's been around for a while and I see there trucks all the time

If I would have said this to my mom, I would have been kidding, where as this guy sounds like he thinks it's a typical thing to buy produce from Amazon. I hope he wasn't serious, but at the same time, I hope he was because this made me laugh a lot.

Oh man. What has the world come to. Your son is a outside the box kind of thinker. Even if he is using it for lazy purposes.

This really is not so odd is some parts of the world. The supermarket downstairs in my building sends whatever you want within like five minutes and you pay at the door. It's very handy! And, 24hrs a day! We also get fastfood chains like Burger King or McDonald's delivered home.

That's a glimpse of the future for you OP ! This has nothing to do with being lazy, but with being practical.

Actually I don't know about you guys in America, but here in Britain you can literally shop for groceries online and have it delivered to you within a few hours.

When it comes to produce I want to pick my own.

I agree. While buying canned goods and such online might be more convenient, I want to pick my own meat and produce. I don't want wilted or bruised produce, or super fatty meat.
