Today, I called my parents from out of state to see if they would order me a pizza using their credit card online because I'm out of money. I haven't lived with them for the past year, and they still claim me as a dependent on their taxes. They said no. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML
Today, my parents took me out to eat. When the bill came, they stared at me for a while before asking, “Aren’t you gonna pay?” They've never made me pay before, there was no indication that I’d have to pay this time, and I’d left my wallet at home. FML
Today, I lived at home rent free, until now. According to my mother, I receive "too many packages" from online shopping, and now I need to "chip in." FML
Today, I found out the only reason my parents want me to live with them is because of the tax refund. FML
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML
Today, my parents said they were cutting me off for saving a kitten's life and wanting to keep it. I am 40 years-old and don't get any money from them. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're out of money, you should be asking your parents for money for groceries that will last a week or longer, not pizza that will only last a day and a half. How are you even managing to live on your own if you don't have any money, anyway? I don't really see the second to last sentence as being relevant; seems like you're just putting that there to say that your parents owe you.

Your parents won't help you because you're a whiny idiot. The 5-10 bucks for pizza would buy you: A week supply of Raman, in a variety of flavors. Or: Enough Spaghetti and Sauce for three dinners. Or: A Loaf of Bread and some PBJ which would last awhile. Or: 2-3 Boxes Mac & Cheese Or: 2-4 Cans of Soup. 5-10 of anything 10 for 10 at Krogers. All of which can be made in a college dorm with a single microwave. Wow, I wonder why your parents don't think you're starving if you want Pizza, you poor thing. And if they're contributing to your college education, your rent, your car payment, or you're on their medical then boo hoo, they're collecting a meager return in taxes. How about this, be up front, tell them you don't want them to collect on you anymore or you'll turn them over to the IRS, bet you don't because they're giving you money for something and you don't want to piss off the gravy train.

Just coz you don't live at home doesn't mean you're not a dependent. And just coz you're a dependent doesn't mean they have to buy you pizza.

For those of you asking where you can get a $5 pizza, here in California we have Little Caesar's pizza where you can get a $5 large one topping pizza and they're pretty darn good:D As for the OP, I'm with the general consensus..

ydi they shouldn't have to pay for you if you don't live at home. Shame on them for lying on their taxes by claiming you as a dependant though.

Anyone who says "YDI" has obliviously had it too easy, or more likely still live with their parents.

TRUE THAT. "oh ydi. My Beamer my daddy bought me need to be washed, you can do that and I'll buy you a pizza since you're too lazy and ask your parents for money for pizza"
