Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at work when my mother called. She gave me great news that she had finally cleaned out my room and all those "old and useless" books that I had in there. Those "useless" books that she had just trashed were all antiques and worth about $500 each. There were 27 books in there. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, I went to the local used books store to sell all my college textbooks. I spent several hundred dollars on them in total. I ended up walking out of the shop a pathetic $3.50 richer. FML
Today, my mum is convinced I'm a hoarder. While I was out of the house, she went through my room and threw out stuff I "don't need." This included $500 worth of textbooks, a flash drive with crucial work on it, and my phone charger. FML
Today, I had a garage sale and sold some books I don't read anymore. A woman came up and yelled at me, saying I'd stolen one of the books from her house. I later found out that it was a distraction so that her boyfriend could steal my TV. FML
Today, I was helping my mom look for some money she'd misplaced. At my wit's end, I flipped through her diary, in case she'd hidden it between the pages as she has before. Didn't find the money, but I did find out she might well be cheating on my dad. FML
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 frantically told my parents that my bank account had no money. Turns out, they took the $1,600 I had saved up from a summer job and invested it in penny-stocks. I was grounded because they were "doing it for the family," and I'm being selfish. They also had lost it all in a matter of days. FML
Today, I went to my grandma's yard sale, only to find my baby pictures being sold for 25 cents each. FML
Today, I told my mom about the $50 I'd hidden in case of an emergency, and how I couldn't find it. She said she'd borrowed it last week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

$60 will cover a shovel, duct tape, a large knife, and some trash bags... all with enough left over to go out and have a couple beers.

How could someone possibly deserve this? Despite your opinion on how to store your money, her mother had no right to root through a house that didn't belong to her and take items without permission. File a police report for burglary. This is flat out theft.

I'd go into their room and sell their shit. It'll teach them some respect and privacy. And, you'll make some money back. :)

-hang a bag with with money from a coat hanger and hang a shirt that you rarely or never wear over that -behind a picture on the wall -inside a stuffed animal that you've made clear you have great 'sentimental' value for -inside a pair of socks in your sock drawer -in a bag that is duct taped to the underside of your computer desk -inside a large, fancy, decorative candle that has been hollowed out underneath and has had the wick removed -inside your shower curtain rod -inside the area in your curtains that the curtain rod goes through -inside a ziplock bag and under a floor board or carpet -inside the space of wall accessible by temporarily removing the faceplate over an electrical outlet (then screw the face plate back on, of course) .........

If you ask real nice, they'll probably give it to you back, especially if you paid for the books. $300 dollars to adults tends to be manageable. In any case, you can probably earn it back relatively quickly anyway, so it's really just a moderate loss. FYL all the same.

It's ridiculously annoying how parents will just dig through your stuff and sell your things or throw away your things without even telling you. Maybe you should try it on them.
