Today, my parents told me that due to my lacking height and weight, I legally have to sit in a booster seat in the car from now on. I'm nineteen. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that if I were 2 inches shorter, I would have to sit in a booster seat in the car. I'm about to turn 22. FML
Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML
Today, I was seated, once again, at the "too small" children's table. I'm twenty. FML
Today, my parents told me that from now on I have to share a room with my 9-year-old sister. She already called top bunk. I'm 20. FML
Today, I had to sit through yet another one of my mom's, "You need to grow and gain some weight!" rants. I'm 22 and she doesn't believe me when I tell her I'm done growing. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting past 5'2". FML
Today, after boarding my flight, the flight attendant looked at me and said that I had to sit elsewhere because I had to be over 14 to sit near the emergency exit. I'm 22. FML
Today, my parents insisted that despite the fact I've just turned sixteen, I have to save them money by ordering from the children's menu, because I "still look like a twelve year-old." FML
Today, my dad learned how to use the parental controls. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew. I am 17. FML
Today, my parents decided to go on a diet. This would be perfectly fine if they didn’t insist I go on one too. I weigh less than 90 pounds and am underweight for my height. FML
Today, I discovered that I'm short enough to be legally considered a midget. My daughter now wants to bring me to school for show and tell. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't think it's for those above age 10.

They don't make midgets use booster seats. So go tell your parents to **** off.

Um, if you aren't smart enough to look up the law to confirm it, then you deserve sitting in the booster seat. I'm not sure of the exact age cut off (I don't know if it's by state or federal for that matter) but I promise you, it doesn't apply to you. BTW, the weight cut off, at least here, is 40 pounds. If you are under 40 pounds, you have bigger problems than the booster seat.

Here it's 80 pounds. I never realized other places were so low. The height limit here is 4'9". Apparently the maximum age is 8, and it would appear that you don't need a booster seat over that age regardless of size (though they're not very clear about it), but all those commercials they have on TV strongly imply otherwise. They never mention age at all, just say that anyone below the size limit needs a booster seat. I mean, I was 11 before I met the size requirement, so I would think that little detail would be kind of important. In some states the age requirement means you MUST be in a booster seat UP TO that age regardless of size, but you still have to use one after that age if you don't meet the size requirements. There is also an upper age limit, which varies by state just like everything else. Other states, you have to be below both the age and the size in order to need a booster seat.

Your parents were likely joking, as I can't find a place in the world (via a quick google search, anyway) where it applies at your age.
