Today, I overheard my dad's friend complaining to my dad that his new baby boy is a ginger. I continued listening, and heard my dad saying, "Yeah, there's nothing worse than having a ginger." I'm his daughter. I'm a ginger. FML

Meet the family

Today, I finally took the courage to introduce my ginger boyfriend to my family. It didn't go too well. My dad asked if he could call him "Ron Weasley" and my 13-year-old brother asked if he had a soul. Now I'm single again. FML

Today, I told my parents that I wanted to donate blood. My dad helpfully interjected, "Sorry, they don't accept blood from gingers." FML

Today, our class was focusing on discrimination, and our teacher asked us if anyone had ever felt discriminated against. I put my hand up to share a story, and my teacher immediately said, "It's because you're ginger, isn't it?" That's not what I was going to say. FML

Today, a guy in my class was talking about himself. He started his story with, "When I was little, I was a ginger." I replied without thinking, "Is that why you got put up for adoption?" Him being adopted was the actual story he wanted to tell. FML

Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML

Today, I got married. My dad wanted to see me before the ceremony in my dress. The dress I wore was not my usual kind of dress, strapless. The first thing my dad said, "Ginger! You've got boobs!" Not exactly the father-daughter moment I'd envisioned. FML

Today, one of my dad's work friends came over. As he was leaving, he complimented my dad on having three "strapping young boys." I informed him that I'm a girl, and I have a hormone imbalance that causes me to have a lot of hair and a deep voice. I guess my dress didn't give him a clue. FML

This is the part where you walk in, start crying (if you have the talent to do so on cue) and say "Gee, THANKS Dad! I ******* hate you too!" and run away to your room and slam the door. Then demand ice cream. Or whatever, I don't know, it sounds fun.

Ignore what your dad said. I have dark strawberry blonde stick straight hair, see thru pale skin and blue eyes. Never had a problem with guys. My little girl always have total strangers fawning all over her because she has the strawberry blonde (little more red in it tho) hair and the pale pale skin and blue eyes. The hair color is is rarely seen naturally. Be proud of it. Many people pay a lot of money for it and a ton in upkeep because the dye fades so fast :P

Wtf who even thought up this whole ginger nonsense? If someone has black hair and blue eyes, or blond hair and brown eyes, are there names for that too?That's so ridiculous! People will use any excuse to make a new stereotype...
