Today, I'm driving cross-country with my parents. As if the stifling heat isn't bad enough, they keep stopping to admire, comment on, and practically do a photoshoot in every corn field we pass. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my family is on the third day of driving cross country. My husband is still pretending he is driving on a NASCAR track, sound effects and all. FML
Today, I'm going on an 8-hour drive with my insane family. This usually means screaming arguments, graphic conversations about my dad's pubes, some karaoke, plenty of farting, some stale Pringles, and an obese golden retriever on my lap the entire time. Arizona, here we come. FML
Today, I'm travelling across the country with my family. My grandma thought it would be a good idea to take her shoes off. It's been 5 minutes and my eyes are watering from the stench. We still have over 200 miles left until we get home. FML
Today, my mom drove my family to the desert for a themed family photo. We had to wear big frumpy old western-looking clothes in 115 degree weather. Hot and agitated, I muttered, "This is the ugliest thing I've ever had to wear." My mom, looking hurt, replied, "That's my wedding dress." FML
Today, I agreed to go on a last-minute road trip with my friends. Everything was going great until we realized we had no GPS signal in the middle of nowhere. We ended up following a "shortcut" suggested by a farmer and got stuck in a muddy field for hours, with livestock giving us judgmental looks. FML
Today, I was directing traffic at work during one of the hottest days of the year. Not only do I have to stand in the heat and exhaust fumes for minimum wage, I also had to endure people asking me "Aren't you hot?" as they drove past me in their air conditioned cars. FML
Today, I went on a roadtrip with my boyfriend and his best friend. What I thought was going to be a great, fun time ended up with me alone in a car with two large men who wouldn't stop farting for 14 hours. FML
Today, I was driving to visit my parents for the first time in two years. After spending about $4000 to make sure my car wouldn't break down on the journey, around the halfway point, the front tire popped and the engine blew out. I'm about 5 states away from both my parents and my home. FML
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML
Today, I had to endure a long drive from Poland to England. We weren't allowed to open our windows. My mum threw up. Twice. FML

Steal the camera, accidentally "drop" it.

Or accidentally 'throw a hammer at it, run it over with a 2 ton truck and throw it in the Atlantic ocean' all on accident.

We went to Iowa years ago and that's all I saw was a bunch of corn (and a green sky, which scared me because I thought a tornado was coming). But to stop in every single corn field and take pictures? I live in Kansas so I can officially say that all corn fields look the same.

I've driven through fields of wheat. And just like wheat fields are all the same so are corn fields.

Hey, corn is serious shit. I practically lived off of the stuff when I was younger. If I could just stroke those long, green stalks--I mean, uh, it was stupid for them to be looking at it. Yeah. But be glad you don't have a hickey from the Jolley Green Giant himself. ;) Some people can't appreciate the simple things in life...sigh.

Is this what happens when you close your eyes and type?
ManInTheMachine 20
Nah, but it's what happens when I have nothing good to say. Feel free to ridicule it and tell me about how horrible a commenter I am. It won't be the first time or the last. :)

There is a new thing called punctuation. You should try it out sometime. Its fun!
SouthernPride95 19
Punctuation who needs stinkin punctuation
Spiral_Thoughts 19
77, he or she is reciting a song, making punctuation unnecessary in this instance. You have read lyrics or poems, I presume, since you have all the airs of an elitist prat? Yes, I'm sure you have, 77. I'll leave you to your beloved corn. :)

So that was your family taking pictures of my property? Sorry I shot at you.
Bonzer 2
No that was me. Bastard.

I barely nicked you. It was a warning shot, you were smart to move quickly. Stop stalking my corn.

"Stop stalking my corn" pun intended?
