Today, I was giving my crush a lift home from a mutual friend's house. When he got in the car, my mom asked in French, "Is this the guy you won't stop talking about? You can do so much better!" Of all the things I've told about him to my mom, I forgot to mention he's French as well. FML

Today, my crush walked me home. As my mom opens the door, she tells me in Russian how ugly he is, and that I have extremely bad taste. Out of all the languages in the world, he happens to be fluent in Russian. FML

Today, I was hanging with my boyfriend. When his mom came to pick him up, he introduced me. She talked to me politely and I thought we hit it off very well. As I was walking away, I heard her say, "That's your new girlfriend? Honey, you could do so much better." FML

Today, we watched a movie in French class. I went on a French exchange last year, so I wanted to sound all impressive and cultured for my crush who is in the same class. I said that it was my favorite movie and I couldn't wait to watch it with everyone. The movie turned out to be about incest. FML

Today, I went shopping with my Mom. I ran into my crush. A school dance is soon and he WAS just about to ask something but my mom glanced over and yelled "TAMPONS OR PADS, SWEETIE?!" He then changed his question to "Haha, so which?" And before I could say a word, my mother answered for me. FML

Today, my husband won’t stop bragging about the girl with the "model cheekbones" from the airport shuttle, who kept telling her friend in French how hot he was in front of us. Miss Model was unaware that we’re from France, and my husband’s ego might never deflate. FML

Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML

Today, at the breakfast table my mum asked me what I thought about the plumber who came to our place a couple of weeks ago. I told her that I thought he was really cute and how hard I tried to flirt with him, she nodded and told me that he is her new boyfriend and might move in with us soon. FML

Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML

Parents always say stupid things. It's not like you can't expect it at least once in your life. Sometimes it can even be out of jealously.

You weren't giving him a lift home. Your mummy was giving him a lift home.

If they're a French family, then they probably always talk to each other in French. I don't see how that is so rude, and if people think that each time someone says something in a language you don't understand, that they're obviously saying something in their back, then they're paranoids. It WAS a bit rude of the mom to do it then, though, but she could have said anything else that didn't involve the guy, like "you called me late" or "I'm taking him home, and then we're going to (place) for (reason)," and she wouldn't have said it in English if she didn't think it was the guy's business. Your life's ******, but I think you deserve it a tiny bit for not telling your mom that he's French; it probably would have been a good argument in his favor!

"Today, my crush was giving me a ride home. When I got in the car, her mom said "Is this the guy you won't stop talking about? You can do so much better!" in French. Apparently the girl didn't tell her mom I'm French. FML"

I'd be pissed with mum on that. You could have also spoken to him in French in front of your mum ....

That really sucks. But it sounds like you really like him, and that's what's most important. :) Hopefully you'll teach your mom not to be so superficial, when she gets to know him better.

This happened to me except the language was Spanish, I hope he left you for what I saw, a shallow mother.

I'd have thought talking in a 'secret' language when someone else is present is pretty rude. If you do it with your Mom all the time then you kind of asked for that one!
