Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML

Today, my parents told me that they've been having a contest to see who could punish me the most this week. So far, my mom is in the lead by kicking me out of the car near railroad tracks, and making me walk the 4 miles home in the freezing rain. FML

Today, my mom scolded me for not taking driving lessons already. This comes a few days after she told me that, "Allowing teenagers to drive is just another way of thinning out the gene pool". FML

Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML

Happy Father's Day
Today, my mom said I was not allowed to spend Father's Day with my dad. When I tried to point out that I'm 24 years-old and she couldn't stop me, she disabled my car. I don't trust rideshare. FML

Today, my dad took my car keys off my keychain and hid them from me. His reasoning was, "I don't want you to be driving during the winter." Guess who has to walk ten miles a day to work, through the New England snow. FML

Today, a snow storm rolled into my small town, leaving my car stuck under 3 feet of snow. I called my boss to tell her I couldn't drive to work. Her reply? "Walk." FML

Today, my mom changed her mind about driving me to a job interview because she wants to attend a meeting at a church she told me she'd never go back to, full of people she hates. I can't drive because she refuses to teach me how. There's no public transportation. FML

Today, my school's ski trip got canceled, because "All the snow makes the roads unsafe." We can't go skiing because it's snowing. FML

How old are you? If you arent an experienced driver, I agree with your mom, stay off the roads.

Those of us who grew up elsewhere have a saying to describe the driving of native Minnesotans (who are largely Norwegian and Swedish): "Scandinavians and roads don't mix" (often augmented by "this is why Volvo is known for safety features"). You could put a drunk Stevie Wonder behind the wheel of a car and he'd drive better than them. They're that bad. Therefore, I'm just going to assume that this girl was barred from driving because she actually knows how to drive.

Epic fail. You might want to learn to read before calling other people idiots. It states quite clearly that the OP is a woman.

She didn't say you couldn't drive ON snow. Just don't go in it. It might seem like semantics, but that's your mom's fault for not being specific.

I hope you have fun for that week in July! Move to Texas -- you'll get to drive every single day! Even that one day every few years where it snows, you will be able to drive because your mom will be stuck in Minnesota! Hahahaha!

Hah we get an inch of snow here in Texas and they close all the schools and there's a million wrecks on the freeway! But that only happens once every few years, so it's not bad.

A couple of weeks ago, we had light flurries here in Houston and they let us go home from work at noon. On the news that night, the wrecker drivers were pissed off because the snow was so light and didn't stick that there weren't enough accidents for them to rake in the big $$$.

Yah, I also live in Houston and we got out of school early, even though the snow didn't last long. Wrecker drivers are just ridiculous, praying off of people's misfortune.
