Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom revoked my shower privileges for a week, all because I'm “using too much water.” I'm the kind of person who will smell like garbage after one skipped shower. FML
Today, I confronted my 18-year-old daughter about her excessively lengthy showers. She said she didn't see the big deal, considering the water "comes free with the house." No dear, it doesn't. FML
Today, my water got cut off. The previous homeowners owed the water company over $300, and the company doesn't believe that I'm not them. The supervisor told me this will keep happening until I pay up. I need a shower. FML
Today, I took a shower after I finished typing an important essay I've been working on for days. My computer illiterate mum shut the computer down when I was gone, without saving a thing. When I confronted her, she yelled at me for "wasting electricity". FML
Today, I was asked by my live-in landlord not to put too much water in the kettle because it made the utility bills too high. This is the same woman who takes daily baths. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Today, I discovered my new step-dad has a rule about the shower. After three minutes, he turns the water off at the source. I had to beg him to turn it back on whilst covered in shampoo suds, and the only way I could get him to give me another minute was to forfeit my phone for the week. FML
Today, I was taking a shower. My mom thinks it's ok to just walk in on someone when they are in there so she decides to take a crap. The worst part is she thought it would be less awkward to talk to me. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next week. FML
Today, I was complaining to my boyfriend about our excessive water bill. He then says, "Don't look at me, I don't even shower." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Apologize and start not taking showers and make yourself smell bad. Tell her your saving money.

Did you pay the bill?

I think your profile picture answers that.

Sounds like any excuse will do to get you to pay bills.

Ya, I'm thinking maybe op's mom needed some help with the bills (or if op is older and living at home then wants them to start paying some bills instead of rent) and instead of talking about it (like she should've done) she waited till op had a shower and used that as an excuse. Maybe sit down with her and ask her why she wants you to pay the bill or ask if she needs help financially etc. it may be that you're 17 or 18 and they want you to start paying for some things instead of paying full rent or living completely free; like a happy medium.

Ask your dad what "quick" means in regards to your mothers interpretation.

It could be that op is 17 or 18 and they want them to start paying for some stuff instead of paying full rent or living there for free. Some parents start to ask for rent at 18. Usually if they don't have lots of money or are a bit stretched financially they get the kid (who is now an adult & working) to help out.

Our rule was 18, unless we were still in school. If we didn't go to school we were expected to get a job and either move out or pay rent. If we were in school, we were expected to focus on school, not juggling a job and school. I never got that far though, I moved out at 16.

Don't worry, parents tend to be sarcastic and joke around with their kids. My parents did it all the time when I lived with them.

Why do you think Op needs an explanation for how parents behave? Op knows his/her own parents better than you anyway, and it's entirely possible their mother isn't a funny, sarcastic person.
