Today, my relatives told me that when I stay at their house for the holidays, I'm no longer allowed to be out past 10 because somebody drugged my drink once. I'm a 25 year old man. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after two months of being teased by my friends for getting wasted and passing out from only one shot, I learned that I wasn't actually too weak to handle the alcohol. My "friends" had secretly laced my drink with sleeping pills. They're now teasing me for believing them. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home at 1am this morning from a friend's birthday party. I'm 30 years old. FML
Today, my parents are being investigated because they beat my brother with a belt. He deserved it for getting drunk the night before we were supposed to go on a vacation, but nobody cares about that. I'm scared I might get taken away. FML
Today, I went out for drinks for the first since I stopped breastfeeding. I underestimated how low my tolerance had become and how strong the drinks were. My husband was stopped by two bouncers while trying to carry me to the car. They thought he'd drugged me. FML
Today, at work I was told I'd be working over Christmas because I don't drink. Apparently if you're tee-total, you're not entitled to spend time with your family and are incapable of having fun. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML
Today, my parents grounded me and took away my phone, iPod and door. That's right, my door. They think that because I was stumbling and couldn't walk straight last night, I must have been out drinking. They know I suffer from chronic vertigo, but don't believe I was having an attack. FML
Today, while talking to my parents, I dropped an ordinary drinking glass. After I apologized and cleaned the mess, they told me that they had decided that if I couldn't be careful at home, I certainly couldn't be careful on the roads. They took away my keys. I'm 19. FML
Today, after a night of heavy drinking, I woke up handcuffed to my bed. My friends who are responsible for this think it's hilarious and claimed not to remember where they put the keys. They took pictures, then left. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least they are looking out for you

At least they care! Maybe just tell them how you feel, being 25 and all. They're probably just worried. Being drugged is nothing to take lightly. Hopefully they'll come around though. :)

Dude...you're 25

Dude...he is a guest with free room and board. He should respect the house rules or pay for a hotel. They want to be able to go to sleep at a "reasonable" time instead of staying up all night worrying. Harsh - but it's the price to stay with them. Maybe if you invite one of them to join you they'll be more flexible when they see your more careful. They care it could be worse.

Bullshit. He's 25, they should learn to trust him more. And since he is a guest, they should be more concerned about being good hosts than being helicopter parents.

Well you could test out that nail polish used to test drinks for drugs...

You're a free guest at their home, either move to a hotel or put up with the rules of their home. Also you're lucky you have family that care about you, they haven't dismissed what happened to you but are instead worried about your safety. If you won't move to a hotel and still want an extention on their house rules, then I suggest you take someone they can trust to look out for you, with you.

Apparently rules of hospitality go out the window if the guest you're entertaining happens to be your adult offspring? And apparently helicopter parents are bad until it's their offspring complaining about them being helicopter parents, in which case, suddenly it's "their house their rules" As both hosts and the parents of their offspring, they need to stop sheltering someone who is no longer a kid, especially when they no longer desire to be sheltered.

Wait, they're actually relatives, not his parents. That makes this even more inane.

Sorry dude, their house, their rules. If you wanna stay out till all odd hours of the night go to a hotel. Being drunk and coming into someone else's house at 2am is incredibly disrespectful- esp if they are all seeping.

Why did they roofied a man?

OP might not be male but I think some people will rape or rob men too.
soulreaper12296 28
#23 The end of the FML says "I'm a 25 year old man"... so I'll pretty sure OP is, in fact, a man.
interesting33 37
oops yeah sorry - didn't read it properly
militarybrat 21
In our group which was mostly male someone roofied two drinks not knowing who they would go to. Some people just do it for fun, some people do it to rape who knows.

Are you really that ******* stupid? Men are raped nearly as much as woman. Men are just so much less likely to actually report it because of dumbasses like YOU who think it can't happen.
jozhe 21
"someone must have drugged my drink". I sure know that excuse
LPac5295 27
OP you're more than capable of handling your own. Respectfully tell them that you'll be careful and keep them posted but won't be home before 10 if you don't want to be. You're an adult and shouldn't have a curfew.
Sathane 21
Easy. Rent yourself a hotel room, and watch your drinks.
soulreaper12296 28
Well you're 25, they can't really force a curfew on you. I guess they could lock you out and say they'll do it again if you don't start coming back by 10. But at that point they're just being assholes.
Kukironosuke 16
it is not being an asshole to enforce house rules by locking rule breachers from access to the house just because you invite somebody to stay with you, doesn't mean they have free reign to do what they want while they are staying with you it is fair game to set restrictions on guests, and if they don't agree they can rescind the offer to let you stay there
