Today, was the first day my grandma has seen me since I started going to tanning beds. She is now considering taking me out of her will because I look like "a damn Indian". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my grandma told me that I'm starting to look like my sister. I jokingly replied, "Uh-oh I'm in trouble then." She gave me a very disapproving look and said, "You should be happy. She's beautiful, unlike you." FML
Today, I was at work when a customer came up to me and asked where and what I used to get my tan. I'm Indian. FML
Today, my grandma commented on my Facebook profile picture: "That's a great photo! It doesn't look anything like you!" FML
Today, I took my grandma to the hospital to visit her estranged husband who she hasn't seen in years. After a thoroughly disasterous visit, we're waiting in the carpark and my gran strokes my face and tells me I have a lot of facial hair. I thought she was going to thank me. And I'm a girl. FML
Today, I went to the gym with my grandma. In the span of an hour, she was hit on more than I ever have been in my life. FML
Today, my racist grandmother was complaining that the new nurse at her nursing home is a black woman. I casually asked, "Is she cute?" I'm now out of the will. FML
Today, I saw my grandma for the first time since I got new glasses. Wanting to be different, I got crystal colored ones instead of black. She said, "Thank God. You looked so dorky with your giant nerd glasses!" Love you too, grandma. FML
Today, I used a tanning bed for the first time ever, in an attempt to get a base tan for the summer. No one bothered to warn me that you shouldn't go the full ten minutes your first time. Now my skin is as red as my hair. FML
Today, my grandpa pointed me out to one of his friends, saying, "Yeah, she's the ugly one." FML
Today, my grandmother said to me, "You look just like your mother did at your age. Except you're fatter of course." FML

Hmmm.....if you are looking that dark, you may want to lay off the tanning a bit. Sounds like you may be overdoing it.

Depends on her age. If she's in her late 80's-90's, they're not being racist. They just don't know better. My grandmother is the same way at 100 but doesn't think anything of it while the rest of us cringe. That's just the way life was for her first 60 years. The world had evolved a ton in the last 30-40 years and had completely passed them by.

Not quite sure why this is getting more YDI's considering this person hasn't done anything wrong and it's her grandmother who's making a racist comment.

I don't think it will really matter either way, given that your melanomas will probably kill you long before her will comes into play ;)

It probably doesn't matter to grandma
