Today, I found out that, after offering to fill out my student aid application for me, my mother sent all of my personal information to a scam site instead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that when my parents offered to help me pay for college, what they really meant is they would get the forms for me to apply for student loans. FML
Today, I found out I'm on wage garnishment because my mother, who took out a student loan for me back in '05, didn't pay off the $2015 owed when she said she would. I got screwed over financially because of her. FML
Today, I spent many hours applying for many scholarships. When the sites asked for my e-mail, to let me know if I'd won, I gave them my school e-mail, one that I often check. I then come to find out the school doesn't let e-mails from outside the school system be sent or received. Lost thousands of dollars as far as I know. FML
Today, I couldn’t figure out why I was getting so much spam in my professional email. My own mother thought it would be a hilarious “prank” to sign me up for a ton of random mailing lists. I missed an amazing job opportunity due to her bullshit. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, I found out that the $100,000 scholarship I "won" was a scam. I found it on a website. When I won, they asked for a "processing fee" that I begged my brother to let me borrow. The website has vanished into internet wasteland and I have no way of paying back the money. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, I went to apply for classes at a college my parents signed me up to do dual credit with. Too bad they used my sister's social security number so I don't get credit for my old classes and my new application got thrown out. FML
Today, my mother came over again to help me work on my Student Aid application. She also brought over the savings bonds that she has been accumulating since I was born to help pay for college. Turns out they won't reach maturity until I'm thirty. She never bothered to check out this fact. I'm screwed for college. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's why you always handle that kind of stuff yourself.

That does suck, but let it be a lesson to not be so lazy and to do it yourself. I'm pretty lazy, too, though, so I can't really be talking!

Completely unrelated but MrMisfit are you going on a comment bender because they are everywhere, I do have to admit I love that monocle of yours.

Contact all the major banks and tell them that your identity has been stolen and not to accept any new loans or credit. Protect yourself immediately.

You should have done it yourself you lazy ****. Oh, and don't forget to slap some sense into your idiot mother. That is, if you can pull that off without missing her giant sloping forehead.

Oh mom just go back in the kitchen and make OP some snacks or clean their laundry because you're going to be doing for a little while longer since you might of just screwed up OP's future

Maybe you should do your own work yourself

Except your parents have to do a large part of these forms themselves, you could argue that OP should be with them while they do it, but someparents don't like their children seeing their bank details etc anyway.

The good news is that you are going to get a very large penis. That is great if the OP's a guy, but kinda awkward if she's a girl. You'll have to find local she-male fetishists.

This is why you don't let your mom on the internet. Well, I let mine, but she doesn't handle any of my stuff.
