Today, I was awarding medals to finalists in a school club. While putting one around someones neck, I ended up poking a girl in the eye. She tried to be a trooper by continuing to walk across stage but i guess her eyes got really watery because she missed the step and fell, breaking her ankle. FML

Today, my live-in mother-in-law brazenly swiped most of the money from my wallet, then walked out of the room as if nothing had happened. The worst thing is that my wife believes anything she says, so I can't do a damn thing about it. FML

Today, I was working and some woman wanted to pay with a credit card. It already had a picture on the card so you don't have to ask for i.d., and just glancing at it I asked, "Oh, is this your husband's card?" She then replied, "No, that's just me with glasses and short hair." FML

Today, my mom called to tell me that I needed to clean the side of her couch. Why? Because someone picked their nose and wiped snot all on the side of it. She thinks it was me because I sat there last. It wasn't me. I don't even live there, but I have 2 teenage siblings that blame everything on me. FML

As someone whose mom reacted with "it's just a phase" when they came out as bi in middle school, i feel you. Though now I'm 25, pan and my mom has seen that it's who i am even though I've never brought a girl home to her. She laughs at my gay jokes now, and one day i hope you can do that with your parents one day. Good luck

Well, this is kind of ironic. Gay in the 1980s - can't come out to parents for fear of ostrization. Gay in the 2010s - can't come out to parents for fear of being seen as only wanting to be popular. I feel like this was not the direction things were supposed to go.
