Today, it was my boyfriend's parents' anniversary so I thought I'd do something to impress them. I made them chocolate-covered strawberries. But for some reason they gave me really dirty looks when they saw it. Turns out his mother is allergic to strawberries and his father is allergic to chocolate. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to give his mother a box of chocolates and flowers for Mother's Day. She just stared at them and said, "What's this for? You're not my daughter, and never will be. But I'll keep the chocolate." FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, my husband is traveling to his terminally ill grandmother's for Valentine's Day weekend. He said he "doesn't know if she'll pass soon; gotta visit her just in case." He gave me a box of chocolate-coated strawberries to make up for it. I'm allergic to strawberries, and he has known this for the past four years. FML
Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML
Today, I forgot my boyfriend was allergic to nuts and ate Nutella toast before he arrived. He had just brought me flowers for doing well in an exam and I kissed him. He had a reaction and I had to stab him in the leg. FML
Today, I made my boyfriend a vanilla cake for our anniversary. We sat down to eat it and one bite in, my boyfriend gets a weird look on his face. I take a bite and notice that it tastes like corn. I found out later my dad had replaced all the flour with cornmeal without telling anyone. FML
Today, my boyfriend’s mom fed me a new dish containing peanuts, knowing full well I’m severely allergic. According to her, her ancestors “cured” allergies by exposing the person to the allergen. I went into anaphylactic shock. FML
Today, my family surprised me for my birthday by showing up with a chocolate cake and my ex-boyfriend from back home. They all forgot I'm allergic to chocolate, that I broke up with him about a year ago, and that he’s been trying to win me back ever since. FML
Today, I baked strawberry muffins for my family, putting half a strawberry on each of them. Only when it was too late did I realize that they looked like extremely creepy breasts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not even. Eat 'em by yourself or with your boyfriend. Don't waste them!

1- Chocolate-covered strawberries? That's what you give your lover, not parents. 2- Before you make anyone anything edible, you find out what they're favorite whatevers are and stick to that- no allergies and they'll like it. Ie you ask him- hey what r your parents' favorite desserts? that's when he'll say what he knows including what they're allergic to or absolutely hate. YDI On the bright side, now you & your bf get to have freaky make-up sex w chocolate covered strawberries once you make it up to him for being a dumbass. Tell him thinking of having sex w him makes you do stupid things.

i was gonna say something similar, why give chocolate covered strawberries? They're not even very impressive, just strawberries. In chocolate. Wow.

Next time, check for dietary issues before making food for people you don't know well. EDIT: Oops, Didn't see the comment above mine.

Why would they eat it? They knew they were allergic..

#27 Cool pic. You look like a ghost. Good point too.

Let this be a lesson for the future--always ask what someone's favorite food and food allergies are before making anything, if at all possible. However, their reaction wasn't appropriate. They should have thanked you for the gesture. That's what people do in polite society.
