Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents forced me to do chores. I worked extra slow to rebel against their tyranny. My dad then said I'm not allowed to get my learner's permit for another six months and took away my phone. FML
Today, my parents gave me an iPhone. They then checked my grades online, and promptly took it away. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my parents when they called me a bad driver. Imagine their smugness when I had to call them two hours later and tell them that I drove into a pole. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML
Today, my mom told me to stop using my phone and talk to them, but whenever I do that, they just end up yelling at me and telling me to go to my room. FML
Today, my parents finally took me driving after months of me having my permit. I got yelled at for asking questions. I only needed to know which way they wanted me to turn on the next street after they told me to turn, but not which way. FML
Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML
Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sigh. Parents. Congratulations on your 96% though.

Ask your teacher if you could bring the test home

Eh, Nevermind them. Celebrate! You did well, OP.

Couldn't you just tell them that you got a 96%?

You should have told them you got an "A" or a "96." YDI for not converting a raw score to a familiar scale. That's like trying to set up a friend on blind with a girl who is about a "2," and after he's done retching, you mention that you judge on a 2.2-point scale.

Some places allow parents to have access to grades online, so they don't have to ask their kids. The online systems aren't always clear about how the grades work either. I almost had this problem in high school. .-.

So why not tell them you got 96 rather than 48? FYL though. That's hardcore.

That bites, OP!! Congratulations on the good mark!! I'm guessing that they HAVE listened to you, otherwise you wouldn't have the internet connection to post this!! If you have somehow managed to post this without your mobile phone and without Wi-Fi, then get your teacher to e-mail your parents and clear the matter up!

Sorry OP! Sometimes you just can't win with parents... For some reason I feel like things would even get worse if you manage to prove them wrong...

So, how did you place this post again without a phone or connection to the internet?

From the parents point of view, you did lose 2 points...

Why didn't your test read 48/50? Anyhoo hope your parents feel foolish after those 10 minutes of craziness. Such drama to make a point that your education is important to them.

Time to have the school call your parents. You'll probably get in even more trouble for making them look like dumb idiots.... But you'll feel vindicated :-D!
