Today, my parents left on vacation for the week. Taking advantage of my freedom, I was planning on having my boyfriend over. My grandparents just showed up as they "thought I would be lonely." I can't get rid of them. Looks like I'm not having any fun this week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents left on a trip. I wanted to invite my girlfriend over for a few days so we could spend them together. Then my grandparents turn up, "just for a few days, until your parents return, so you won't be all alone in this big house." FML
Today, I thought I had the house all to myself for the weekend, but my annoying in-laws showed up unannounced and ruined my sleep-all-day plans by asking me to help clean out their RV. FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML
Today, after I spent a weekend at my boyfriend’s house, I came home to find the locks changed. My parents decided to change them because they “don’t need me slutting around under their roof.” My boyfriend lives 4 hours away and I have nothing but an overnight bag. FML
Today, I set aside an entire week off to watch my parents' house while they went on vacation. I'd only just got here and they'd barely left when the hospital called. My drunk uncle died from a concussion, so my parents cancelled everything. I feel bad for my aunt, but my boss knows where I live, and my dad's an ass. I'm trapped. FML
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML

Tell them an elaborate list of fake plans you've made to the point where they don't see the need to stay over anymore?

Yaa... I'm going with zero coincidence and parental planned block from the **** ...

Grandparents are awesome. Boyfriends come and go (pun not intended, however, welcome) but grandparents are always there for you. Make the most of it. This could be one of those weird weekends you learn incredible stories about them and blackmail against your parents. Hell, maybe they'll want to meet him and hang out.

I know it can be annoying but I say enjoy it while you can. My grandfather/dad recently passed away and I'd give anything to have a week like that.

But that's really nice of them, why do you have to be so grumpy about it? You don't want to grow older wishing you spent more time with them while you had the chance. Alternatively, why not explain that you have other plans? If you're mature enough to have a boyfriend stay over in an empty house you should be mature enough to do that.

Obviously they're not mature enough if they had to wait until their parents are gone to have the boyfriend over...

there are some things in this world that you'd rather not have family member around for...

I know it seems annoying, but I would kill to have 5 more minutes with my grandma before she passed away, cherish these moments they won't be here forever.

And you really think they just showed up?

Definitely planned for them to stay over. Hang with them or just leave the house. I mean, it's not like they didn't leave you with an allowance, right? Because you're a teen who just got out of school? And they're looking out for their child? You'll figure it out.

Take advantage of it, especially if you get along with them. Ask them if they have anything fun in mind that you all could do together. Like someone else said, they're running out of time, and it'd be a good idea to spend time with them now so you don't have guilt over not spending more time with them. Especially over someone you may hate in a few weeks, months or years.

Oh my god that's hilarious! Same thing happened to me this week. Too bad I have no boyfriend to invite over :[

Do they use hearing aids?
