Today, I was driving home from swim practice with my mom. I glanced over and saw my brother's hot friend, who I've been secretly in love with forever. He waved to me, and excitedly I waved back. I then heard my mom say, "You're gonna die when you see how bad you look right now." FML

Today, I was talking to a swimmer I just met. I saw a cute guy and whispered to her, "That guy is hot." She asked "Who?" I pointed at him. She turned to see him, then turned back to me and said "Ew, that's my brother." She went to him, whispered something. He turned around to see me and said, "EW." FML
Today, my mom drove me to football practice. On the way she told me that she thought I was gay and that my friend was my lover. After 15 agonizing minutes of this, we get to my practice only to be greeted by my shirtless friend wearing a pink bandana saying, "Man, you hit me hard last night." FML
Today, the guy I've secretly been in love with for years told me how hot my brother is. FML
Today, I got in the car with my brother, who drives all the time with his eyes glued to his phone. We stopped at a red light, it turned green. I noticed that he was still looking down and told him the car ahead was moving. I then got screamed at, saying how I'm always right, how my friends suck, and how he wished I was dead. FML
Today, I was getting picked up by my dad after I had been swimming. I saw his car, so I walked over to it, got in and started talking about how I'd seen my brother. It wasn't until after I had put my seat belt on that I realized I was talking to a complete stranger. FML
Today, I drove across two states to see my brother, who's had a history of heart problems. My mother had sent me a long e-mail saying he was on his death bed and wanted to talk to me to "get his affairs in order." When I arrived worriedly, he was fine. My mother guilt-tripped me to come visit. FML
Today, I was at Starbucks after having a rough day. The old man beside me was talking to his friend. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him point at me and say, "See that beautiful girl over there?" Flattered, I listened closer… until he finished his statement with, "She's gonna die." FML
Today, my mom walked into the bathroom while I was taking a pic to send to my long-distance boyfriend. She then told me I would go to hell for flaunting myself at guys. I was fully clothed, sending a pic to see if he liked my new haircut. That and I'm 21. FML
Today, my best friend told me he had a crush on someone in my house. I got excited, but he told me it was my mom. FML
Today, I was shopping with my dad and I saw one of my guy friends, so we waved and smiled at each other. My dad clearly thought his wave was too "romantic", because he shouted at him, "Touch her, and I'll kill you." FML

Mothers. *sigh* I'm sure you looked perfectly fine. They just have a twisted sense of taste sometimes when it comes to appearances. And what's with all of these "at least she was just being honest" remarks? Propriety dictates that there are times when a person has to keep their trap shut about their opinion, regardless of how much it's meant. (And that is all the OP's mum was spouting, an opinion... not a hard fact.) Tactlessness, anyone?

Don't worry about it. Girls in swimsuits (or anything tight) are hot.

Heh, yeah, 53 has it right. I find women with wet hair to be incredibly hot, no matter how... overexerted they look at the moment.

I can imagine the rest of the conversation... ''Really, is it that bad'' ''Yup, you look like shit'' ''Damn I'm f***ed'' ''Sure are''

think about it this way, he thought you were cute even after a workout then when you class it up a bit and shower he should be blown away, right? ps, i can relate on the mom bit, mine's the same! hopefully you find it more funny in retrospect. :)

well i just got done with swim too, and i look like shit. everyone swims, and the guy prolly knows your a swimmer, and hes gotta know what people look like when they're done swimming. cause hey, guys dont always look that great when they're done either. so it probably doesnt matter to him at all. swimmers have some of the most amazing bodies out there, so i dont think ur appearance ONE day would bother him.

58; I second the amazing bodies bit... dayum.

Doesn't anybody realize how good it is to have somebody honest enough to tell you when you look bad? It may take you off guard and seem mean, but its better than being ignorant of it.

at least he still waved. and jesus... she didnt say that you look ugly all the time. she commented that you looked bad "right now" so stop being so obsessed with looks. stop being a whiny bitch. jesus NOT AN FML.
