that's what i was thinking. before you bought the tickets, you should have talked to his family in order to see if you guys could coordinate presents (like someone giving euros, someone giving clothes for the trip, etc.). if you did so, you wouldn't have this problem. i hope that you can cancel the plans for the trip and get back your money. or better yet, go on the trip as well! good luck!

My father and I once bought the same type of ping pong balls for each other. We'd just gotten new kittens (5 of them, plus their mother) and they loved ping pong balls, and we loved watching them play. Of course, it wasn't as if we couldn't use both sets and they weren't very expensive.

hmm...australia? asia? tell us!!

yea, great idea!

Just my thought. Isn't it perfect?

Exactly. Quite the opposite of an FML really

yeah...that was my first thought. i'm surprised neither of them got two tickets to begin with

OP never said she didn't get herself a ticket.

OP Stay away from my country please- were pricks overhere actually, no point comming.

ya! this should be on MLIG (: now yall can go together and be so happyy

my thoughts exactly. OP said the mom's envelope only contained one ticket, at least, and there's no mention that she intended to go with him when she bought his ticket. it might kinda suck to spend $2000 on a trip you weren't planning on taking yourself, but at least now you get to spend that time with your boyfriend. :)

Lol #91

that's what I thought!! so, not fml! YAY!!!

#91- WE'RE hardly pricks like. The likes of you make a bad name for our country -__-

I concur

I concur

People who like alcohol and rain. Both of these are widely available here.

**** you. Why shouldnt people wanna come here?!

I've always wanted to see Ireland...one guy I spoke to who's from there said it sucked. When I asked why he's like "just cuz"....killjoy... OP I think you should just go with him. You paid for a ticket yourself.

honestly, you people are so damn arrogant. Ireland is a great place. I hate how everyone stereotypes all irish people as drunks. Most of my family lives in Ireland, and half of them are not drinkers, and I know a lot of people that are Irish and are not alcoholics. Yes, of course there are a lot of drinkers in Ireland, but what about the rest of Europe? Germany, England.

Thank you! Im Irish and yes I do drink but Im in no way an alcoholic! I hate the stereotype as well, I can take a joke but when people actually start believing everyones the same as the stereotype it gets annoying (the reason for me seeming so angry in other comments, sorry about that :L)

...Irish people, maybe?

Hahahahahah!!!! I've been to Ireland, it was cool, but I still lol'd at your comment

Thats what I was thinking.Ireland is a shit hole and in case your wondering...yes im from Ireland

Yes, everyone drinks a ton in Ireland, but it also has gorgeous scenery. I lived there for a year, and I would never LIVE there again (too much ******* rain), but I would definitely visit.

irish people like drinking so much because they have the highest tolerance level for alcohol out of anywhere in the world. so they don't become alcoholics as easily.

bleh I don't know. the annoying accents, maybe.

I do! I love Ireland

well they are from the US so rather pointless them visiting their own country..... their gonna be so disappointed when they visit our country.....

She doesn't wanna go to Ireland, he does.

not only is it not HER that wants to go, but your reasoning for "YDI" is dumb

His name is "ydi_bitch" so I think the term "obvious troll is obvious" isn't powerful enough
