Today, my parents took me on a plane ride for a vacation in Hong Kong. What they didn't tell me was that the "vacation" is extended for three years. FML

When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML
Today, I was denied entry into Hong Kong after flying here from Canada and paying thousands of uncancellable dollars for quarantine hotel and other plans, because the immigration company fucked up. FML
Today, I found out that my mother in-law's flight home is canceled, and that she's staying three more days. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, I told my mom about how my friend is going to China for a year instead of college. My mom suggested that I could do the same. When I told her that a trip to China is probably more expensive than my college tuition, my mom replied, "Not for a one way ticket". FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, I woke up excited for my trip to Jamaica with my friends. We went to the airport, and I gave them my passport to check in. They gave it back. It had expired three weeks ago. I watched my friends board the plane while I'm stuck in the city. FML

I would trade places with you if I could, it will be fun for me. Yes they speak English there and Cantonese. Most street signs have English names or translations. Calling people ching chong there will get you some stabs. Karate is from Japan, Kung Fu is from China (this is for those who are ignorant to use google). Thus Karate kid 2 with black kid in China makes no ******* sense. There is a Western culture/trend brewing there for a while, so you should feel total fob from the west.

Wish I could trade places with you. They speak English and Cantonese there. There are street signs with English names or translated from Chinese (formerly a British city from 1947-1997). Call people ching chong will get you stabbed. Karate is from Japan, and Kung Fu is from China (Google this sh*t people). Karate kid 2 in China, WTF?

they should've told you - but it isn't bad to live someplace else for a while. the more of the world you experience the more you learn and understand. this is a good thing, although they should have been honest. it could have been worse - they could've been moving to new jersey
