Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML
Today, since my parents always told me that I was welcome to come home whenever I want or need, I decided to stop by. They'd changed the locks and wouldn't let me in. FML
Today, after I spent a weekend at my boyfriend’s house, I came home to find the locks changed. My parents decided to change them because they “don’t need me slutting around under their roof.” My boyfriend lives 4 hours away and I have nothing but an overnight bag. FML
Today, I snuck out of the house for a night on the town. When I got back, I found all the doors and windows bolted shut. My sister's laughing face at my bedroom window suggests I'll be spending the rest of the night outside. FML
Today, my mother knocked on the door of my room at 7am. I am currently over 300 miles from home, on a vacation to get away from my overbearing family. I told none of them where I was going. FML
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, I got back to my apartment from being away for the past week on Spring break. I found the locks on my apartment changed and all my things on the curb, many of them broken or stolen. I ran to the leasing office to see what had happened. Turns out it was an accounting error on their part. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, I got home from college. Since I haven't seen my parents in almost a year, I sorta expected them to come meet me/pick me up at the airport. Nope. What did I get instead? A text from my dad saying, "I hope you have a key." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If the doors are bolted shut, how are your parents going to get back in?

Oh, OK. I was thinking that there was a chain on the door or something. It still sounds fake. How do you not have keys to your house?

To #3, not everyone has the money to go away for spring break. Or maybe they have a really good relationship with their parents and haven't seen them in some time. So your insensitive, loser comment is fail.

Stop judging if you lack information. They could have done some renovations since Christmas, and had a new front door installed, and were going to give hime a key next time they saw him. Maybe they have a chain on the door (they make some that you can lock from the outside, with only one or two keys) because they were leaving for a while. Maybe he lost his key, or just doesn't carry his house key around on his set when he's in school cause he doesn't use it, and forgot it in his dorm room before leaving. Maybe his parents moved since he started college, and they don't live close to his childhood friends anymore. And you're all lucky people if your family lives close, but my own uncles and aunts and cousins are all scattered across the province, and the closest one lives an hour away. I think his life really is f***ed,

You don't have a key to your house and your parents dont tell you they are going to Hawaii? How are you on a comp? Just go to a friends house... but if your parents don't like you enough to give u a key to their house or tell you they are going on vacation, I guess you probably don't have friends...jsut go back to school the same way you got home..
