Today, I was meeting my boyfriend's mom. She was driving us to a theme park that was about 2 hours away. She asked for the address to put into the GPS, so I gave it to her. It turned out to be a farm, an hour away from the park. So much for good first impressions. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as I was driving in reverse, I hit my boyfriend's mom's car. I met her for the first time while giving her my information. FML
Today, I agreed to go on a last-minute road trip with my friends. Everything was going great until we realized we had no GPS signal in the middle of nowhere. We ended up following a "shortcut" suggested by a farmer and got stuck in a muddy field for hours, with livestock giving us judgmental looks. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. I thought everything went well, until I got a text from him later saying, "Come on mom, she isn't THAT bad." FML
Today, my boyfriend was taking me to dinner to meet his parents. As we pulled into the restaurant valet, I saw a woman in a slutty dress and hooker heels get out of the car ahead of us. I jokingly asked if we had accidentally pulled into a strip club, pointing at the woman. It was his mother. FML
Today, I was giving a friend a ride to a party and I followed Google Maps blindly. After 25 minutes of driving, we pulled into a cemetery. The GPS cheerfully announced, “You’ve arrived at your destination.” I suppose it is in a way, but we didn't plan on being early to THAT party. FML
Today, I went on my very first date. We went out to eat dinner and everything went great! Afterwards, I went to drop him back off at his house. I backed out of his driveway and got stuck in a ditch. His dad had to come out and tow me out. So that's how I met my boyfriend's parents. FML
Today, I got into an Uber, excited for the date I was going to. After about 20 minutes, I had a confused conversation with the driver, because it seemed like we were going to the wrong address. I checked the app, I'd booked a ride to my ex’s place out of habit. FML
Today, I had a first date with a guy I met online. And his mom. FML
Today, I went on a date. We met in the parking lot of a restaurant. As I approached his car he took one look at me, said "Nope", and drove off. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML

Usually there are signs at least half an hour away saying "this way for _____ attractions". Would she not have noticed there weren't any?

Don't worry just like us technology isn't perfect. You're boyfriend mother should understand. This makes for a funny story & hopefully y'all had a great time at the park. :)

Why the thumbs down on 20? Knott's Berry Farm is the name of an amusement park. I can see how OP could have messed that up!

I voted YDI for relying on GPS. Take a look at a map! This is a big pet peeve of mine.

most maps are not up to date on roads. she should have double checked the address on the gps before leaving.

#25: If they have GPS, they have a map. OP and company should've stopped blindly following the line on the screen, and actually had a look at the picture. #28: That's horseshit; roads don't move around like the stairs in Hogwarts. Furthermore, counties and map publishers both tend to print new maps annually, not to mention the fact that probably every major tourist attraction will have a map of the area on their website. GPS is no replacement for basic navigation skills.

Yeah okay you're so much better than everyone because you don't use GPS. Shut the **** up you pretentious loser, people can use whatever the **** they want.

What does that have to do with them ending up at a farm?

GPS systems suck. Better off printing out directions instead next time. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Did you get anything from the farm?
