Today, I had artfully managed to avoid anyone knowing that I was moving into a trailer park. I showed up at the trailer where all my friends, co-workers, and exes were waiting. My parents knew I was feeling down and wanted to throw me a surprise 'moving in' party. FML

Today, I found out that the day I moved out of my parents' house, they invited my whole family over and had a party to celebrate the fact that I was gone. FML

Today, as I returned home, I noticed some movement inside my house. Thinking it was a break-in, I called 911. It was my friends and some coworkers trying to throw me a surprise birthday party. Nobody's said a word to me since. FML

Today, I thought I had gotten away with throwing a party while my folks were gone the night before. They came home and I was as sweet as possible. I could tell they were not buying it, but I thought I was in the clear. Later, they told me I had drunk-dialled them and spilled the beans. FML

Fake news!

Today, after I tried to plan a surprise party for my friend, and a series of miscommunications and accidental reveals, it turned it into a surprise party for myself. I walked into a room filled with people shouting, "Surprise!" FML

Today, my parents used my going away party as a cover up for my sister's surprise party. I didn't know until they brought out the cake. FML

Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML

Today, my landlord started showing my apartment, where I have lived and paid rent for over 2 years, to prospective tenants. I didn't realize that I was moving. FML

Today, I moved into my new apartment complex. I left some items including a cherished painting my best friend made for me outside the front door while I moved furniture into my bedroom. When I went back outside, someone had kicked a huge hole in the painting. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML

Today, I moved into my university dorm a week before classes start. Everyone kept giving me weird looks as they watched me move my stuff in. Finally, one of my dorm mates asked me if I knew that school had actually started last week. I didn't. FML

In a lot of areas, such as the one I live in, trailer parks are not very nice places to live. In these areas, those stereotypes are actually true the vast majority of the time. I can see why (if the OP lives somewhere like this) he/she might not have wanted people to know. And it's not about cheap living. There's often a reason that it's cheap -- it's a bad place to live.

If the trailer park you're moving into is run down, trashy, dirty, not well cared for, etc, I can understand being embarassed. But I mean, if it's not your fault that you can't afford anything better (as in you actually have a job and are trying to save etc) you shouldn't care what people think. Everyone goes through hard times.

come on guys..really? judgemental and a douchebag? have you ever considered whether he thought his friends and family would judge him too based on if he failed or not in their eyes? talk about being judgemental. you dont even know his situation and you're badmouthing him. plus i dont think i saw anything in the fml saying "i didnt want them to know because trailer parks are so bad." maybe he thinks they are or not. who knows...

I agree with 21. What kind of parents would invite your exes? That's ridiculous. I clicked the first button.

For ***** sake, who cares that you live in a trailer park? If your friends are going to think less of you for it then you should get some real friends. Just be honest and work hard and you won't have to live there long...
