Today, it's been 10 days since my family and I have been visiting France. I've always wanted to try their culinary specialties but my dad says we "can't trust them". We've eaten at McDonald's 9/10 times. FML

Today, after months of avoiding fast food, I decided to eat some McDonald's french fries. Though the fries were delicious, they were not worth the agonizing 15 minutes I spent on the toilet afterwards. FML
Today, my friends wanted to try to dine and dash at a McDonald's. I had to explain why that wouldn't work. FML
Today, I made a tasty, healthy plant-based lunch for my family. They ate a few bites, spat it out, and then went to McDonald's "to eat real food, you know, food with meat in it." FML
Today, my parents ate at a new Italian restaurant. They said it was the best they'd ever had and brought me some, insisting I try it. It had so much garlic and sugar in it that I couldn't finish. They're upset because one of our cousins owns the restaurant, and they say I'm not being supportive. We're Irish, not Italian. FML
Today, we're visiting my wife's extended family. They're nice people but they eat like crap; I haven't had a single fresh vegetable or fruit in days, and everything they cook is overcooked and smothered in cheap sauce or "seasonings." My stomach is about to go on strike. FML
Today, my family are refusing to go out to eat with me anymore. Apparently, me liking my food cooked a certain way infuriates them because it delays our order, and makes the wait staff hate us. FML
Today, I was making dinner for my family while my wife was at work. She walked in the door with McDonald's, even though she knew I was cooking. Then our kids saw and started screaming that they wanted McDonald's too and that it was unfair. I've told her not to pull this shit and she won't listen. FML
Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML
Today, I found out that my restaurant's food is so bad that the only reason some people visit is because they're punishing their kids. FML
Today, I was on a date in a fancy restaurant. I tried to show off my skills by ordering our meal in French, since some of the dishes had french-sounding names. The waiter replied in fluent French and I have no idea what he said. FML

I'm so sorry OP. What's stopping you from going out on your own?

other than andouillette, French food is pretty good. (I've lived here for 12 years)

Watch Afflicted, a horror movie and you will probably understand why

you can't trust McDonald's. It's the devil.

If you've been in France for 10 days and have had only 10 meals, are you telling us that you've only eaten one single, solitary meal each day? It may be an insult to one of the culinary capitals of the world, but your health probably won't suffer for it.

9/10 is the same as 90% of all meals, just as 1/2 means "half of every..." or 50% and not "one".

lol if you guys were in the middle east then I would have agreed that "we can't trust them" but France the worst your going to get is frog legs and snails

#125, your "Middle East" comment is just as bigoted and racist. I doubt that anywhere intrinsically poisons food, and, if you think that to be the case, why on earth would you be holidaying there? Actually, your whole comment is a mess of stereotypes and xenophobia. It wouldn't even be difficult to look up menu items either in a dictionary or online if it's available, and if you're worried about such things, then you should be researching.
