Today, my mother offered to pay for my tickets to go see my girlfriend who I haven't seen for 6 months. She was happy to pay for the £130 flight, but then refused half way through the purchase because she wasn't going to "let the buggers charge £13 extra" for using her credit card. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I generously paid for my best friend to go to an event she's wanted to see her whole life. Instead of thanking me, she brought her children and made me pay for them too, complained that I hadn't chosen the seats she wanted, then blamed me when she got on the wrong train back to her hotel. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I thought she wasn't being serious when she said her mum wanted me to pay to stay the night at her house for the first time. FML
Today, I called my mom from Australia. I have been abroad for two months and hadn't talked to her in a long time. A few minutes into the conversation my moms stops me and says this call must cost a fortune and hangs up on me. A few bucks in more important to her then me. FML
Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML
Today, I maxed out my credit card trying to help a friend of over 19 years to go see her family for Christmas, only to find out she changed her mind and doesn’t really want to go. I can’t return the bus tickets, and she’s mad at me. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
Today, I found out my mother drives my car. I was okay with it; I don't use it all the time and she's my mother. However, I was not okay with the multiple speeding tickets that came through in the post. "You're the registered keeper, so why should I pay?" FML
Today, my mom asked if she could use my red dress for her two-week trip to the Caribbean. I said no, because I was going to a party and I wanted to wear it. She called me a selfish, greedy bitch who would stay single forever. I paid for her plane ticket, her hotel fees, and her cruise ship fee. FML
Today, I booked a flight to see my girlfriend. At least I thought she was coming, the flight isn't cancellable because I was broke and could only afford the minimum ticket. I just wanted to make her happy. Well, it's now four days before the flight and I haven't heard from her for a week. I've been left on 'delivered', thinking at 4 am. FML
Today, since it was payday, I figured I’d take my mom out for burgers. The bank also decided to do a random update on our debit card, resulting in my card declining three times. My mom ended up having to pay for our meals. So much for trying to treat my mom out to dinner. I’m still pissed. FML

Today, my ungrateful son complained that he couldn't pay €13 for a flight. I paid for the other €130. FML

Be a real man and buy the ticket yourself. Boo hoo, mommy won't buy it for me. Man up!

You can't just pay $13? If you haven't seen your girlfriend for 6 months, I would assume you saving up a little money to take your girl to a special place she'll never forget.

Don't you people read the op said she offered to pay for it no where does it say he didn't or doesn't have the money to pay but i do think it is said that the ops mom offered to pay and the money needed for using her card made her say f it, its said when she offers and doesn't help....and i know about bad money issues we live pay check to pay check and still my mom offers to pay for something she even pays the extra fee. And people all most all air lines charge for using a card!

This is my opinion, but to me the op has the money but the mom offered, OFFERED, to pay for the ticket until she got that £13 fee, then she decided to be a bitch and took back her offer, if you guys think the op need's to get a job or have your opinion thats fine, it's your call. Beside's if she paid with a credit card, it's obviously a credit card fee, I dont know if the op can pay for it or not. Again, my opinion.

I gotta agree with your mom on this one. That charge is ridiculous. Did you offer to pay her the fee? If she's paying 130, you paying 13 for the fee is reasonable.
