Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as usual, I work nights and sleep during the day. I found out that my brother uses my car and never puts gas in it when he called me for the first time to actually ask me if he could borrow my car, and also to lend him $20 to put gas in it. FML
Today, after spending two days cleaning my car inside and out, I had to pick up my brother when his truck died in the mountains, on a dirt road. He was drunk. I now have a car covered in mud and filled with vomit. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, my car wouldn't start, so I had to wait for AAA. Then, hurrying to pick up my brother, I got a $161 speeding ticket. Twenty minutes later, I got a call from him saying he didn't need a ride anymore. FML
Today, my brother was going to get some drinks for a party we were going to. After getting the drinks, he ended up leaving me at home while he went and got drunk like never before. FML
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML
Today, I let my brother borrow my car, as he had a job interview. I told him the tank was nearly empty and gave him $20 to put some petrol in it. Ten minutes later, he calls me, saying the car won't start. He filled it up with diesel. It's a petrol car. FML
Today, while at work at a new job, my brother comes and takes my car. Along with all my money, my phone, and whatever else I had in my purse. His message to me through one of my co-workers was "walk home." FML
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, I was sent to a customer's house to switch out a washing machine. My boss had assured me that everything I'd need was already in the truck. Halfway there, I ran out of gas and I realized I didn't have the gas card. My boss says it's my fault. FML

I don't understand how your brother used all your gas but forgot to move your car? did he sit in the one spot with the car engine running?

I agree! if he's living in YOUR house getting wasted the whole time why would you let him love withyou. tell him to get a job your going to kick him out!

If he can get drunk, he can pay for the ticket. But still, you deserve it for not parking your car on the other side of the street in the first place.

Um, YDI for letting your brother live as a freeloader. Kick his ass out, since he clearly isn't ever going to pay that ticket.

And if you miss him that much, I'm going to assume he was a good person. The OP's brother seems to be a big screwup and probably needs a swift kick in the ass or a good dose of reality. You missing your brother has nothing to do with the fact that the OP's brother is kind of a douchebag who is taking advantage of him/her. Sorry for your loss, though.

I love my brother and all, but I would NOT let him mooch off of me. He'd better get a job if he still wants to live with me.

Notice how these moochers can get wasted, but can't get a job. YDI for trusting your brother to park your car. You should have parked it and locked it yourself (and kept the keys hidden).

Kick his ass out, a family friend mooched off us for years and could have easily find a job where we lived and he was still mooching. I kicked him out for good and he calls with a sob story but trust me, if you were taking care of him and he still acts like that he is taking advantage of you and you don't deserve it.
