Today, I got a letter back from the family I will be staying with as a part of an exchange program. Apparently they own a slaughterhouse type farm, and I'm expected to kill one of their animals and eat it as a gift from the family. I'm a vegan. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I have to pretend to be vegan for a week while visiting my in-laws to avoid eating there. While they are absolutely wonderful, kind, loving people, their kitchen is absolutely disgusting, and their food handling habits are atrocious. I’m so hungry. FML
Today, my family dragged me to a steakhouse, knowing full well I'm vegan. I sat there, with my sad little salad, watching as they stuffed themselves with burned animal flesh and laughed at me. They wonder why I hate them all. FML
Today, my boss was hosting some client representatives for a meeting and had offered to buy everyone lunch. The "healthy" place he's ordering from made me sick last time, so I'd politely opted out. At lunch, the reps glared at me in the meeting room as I ate my homemade chili con carne. Turns out they're all vegans. FML
Today, it has been my lifelong dream to work with animals. My dream sorta came true. I now work at the slaughterhouse. FML
Today, I was at work training for a new position. The girl who's been training me since I started decided to share about one of her tribe's proud, sacred traditions of eating raw, human flesh. I have another month shadowing her before I can work independently. I'm beyond disturbed. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, when I told my family I was a vegetarian, I expected them to make fun of me because that's just my family. But what I wasn't expecting was my dad to use raw meat as a puppet and make it say, "Eat me! Eat me!" then throw it at my face. FML
Today, after working all day to make a big vegan meal for my family, hoping it would get them to become vegans as well, my brother thought it appropriate to pass around a block of cheese for everyone to grate over the pasta dish. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house for dinner with his family. His mom cooked up a steak dinner, except that I'm a vegan, but trying to be a good girlfriend, I forced it down. Upon his mother finding out I was a vegan, she called me "disloyal to my beliefs." FML
Today, the only birthday present I got was a gift card to a steak house. Not a bad gift, but I'm a vegan. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Woah! At least they didn't threaten to kill you in the slaughter house! For a second I thought that's where the FML was going!

Ignore all the trolls. 95% of these people who troll on Internet forums (not just limited to FML) would never say this shit to you in real life, either because they're bullshitting or they don't have the balls. As a fellow vegan I'd say, however, that you should have made your philosophy really clear before even signing up, regardless of who you would end up staying with. And as for people saying you can't travel as a vegan-- maybe they'd like to explain the abundance of vegan travel blogs and books. You can go anywhere in the world and remain a vegan; don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You may have to put in a little effort, but we all put in a little extra effort to do the things we care about, right? And as for "insulting other people if you refuse their meat," well... most folks, even in other cultures, would realize that they'd be insulting you if they tried to guilt you into doing something you are morally opposed to doing.

To 137: More than 30% of the world can't even afford meat or any other food. Do you have to assume everyone is American? The OP is from the United Kingdom. The OP isn't giving a bad name to anyone.

You could always stop being such a ridiculous idiot and start eating meat like a human being. That would solve your "problem".
