Today, while staying at my brother's place for the Christmas holidays, I had to leave because he threatened to "take me outside". Apparently he doesn't like being corrected on whether a certain car has a long wheel base version, so I guess the family Christmas is over. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as my brother parked in our hotel's parking lot, I told him to be careful because the car wasn't straight. He retorted, "Yeah, just like you". My mother was in the back seat and heard everything. I hadn't come out yet. FML
Today, I sit isolated from my family with presents I cannot give. Though I respect my brother's religious beliefs and life ideals, he chooses to hate mine. He has gone out of his way to refuse patching up our relationship and now my parents who are at his house are not answering their phone. "Merry X-mas…" FML
Today, what should have been a nice family dinner ended with my wife standing over me, staring me dead in the eyes, while endlessly repeating, “Get him out of my house, get him out of my house…” until I agreed to take my drunk brother to a hotel to sleep it off. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, my screw-up brother turned up at my house, expecting to move in rent free. Apparently, mom kicked him out and sent him to me. He's a freeloading demon, who's almost impossible to get rid of, so I told him to get lost and locked my door. Now my mom calls every 5 minutes to call me a selfish asshole. FML
Today, while at work at a new job, my brother comes and takes my car. Along with all my money, my phone, and whatever else I had in my purse. His message to me through one of my co-workers was "walk home." FML
Today, my brother is about to move to a new house, all because last week I played a prank on him. I made him believe that I crashed my car and had to sell his things to pay for the damage. He's no longer talking to me, or acknowledging me as a sibling anymore. FML
Today, I got yelled at for staying in my room too long; got yelled at for going out of my room; got yelled at for staying at a friend's place. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

that was kind of a stupid argument

One does not just google during an argument. You defend your point to the death, even if there's a chance you're wrong. It's Christmas tradition.

Holidays sure can bring out the worst in any relationship{s}. Sounds like a good thing you left before anything physical happened.

Did it really matter?

maybe he wanted to take you outside and show you a long wheel base?

The commodore does have a long wheel base version. No I'm not brothers with the OP but I'm guessing it's the commodore as it's Australian. Like the OP and myself.

since when is the commodore the only australian car made? and it's not like we don't talk about other countries cars here in australia, I own a commodore, dad owns a Pajero, I think they were more than likely talking about a four wheel drive

lol ahh sibling rivalry, I would have gone outside & had it out with my sister, she'd still love me afterwards, can't divorce family

I'm a car guy so I feel his pain, it was probably a German sedan like an Audi A8

I doubt it, for this kind of behaviour to happen in Australia, its usually over a Holden or a Ford.

"Take you outside" Is this seriously a legit FML?

Don't be a pustarstary. My "little" (read younger) brother is 6'5" 275lbs, and I would not let him get away with that sstarstarstar. Keep in mind I am 5ft 11in and 185lbs. Stand up and be a man. You may get a beat down but it is worth it.

wtf ???? pustarstary is not what I typed. I typed pustarstary. But you get the point. And I typed I would not let him get away with that sstarstarstar
