Today, my mom and I took my senile grandmother to the mall, since she doesn't get out much. She complained it was hot, then took her clothing off in the middle of the food court. It took us thirty minutes to make her put her shirt back on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went shopping with my grandma. She went to the bathroom and was gone for a long while. I jokingly asked, "What happened, you fall in?" She did. She had shit all over the back of her shirt. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, I was visiting my grandmother's house. She keeps the thermostat on 85 and after about 30 minutes I explained to her that, "I'm going to have to leave, it's just too hot in here." She replied, "You think it's hot in here, wait until you get to hell." I laughed. She didn't. FML
Today, I visited my mom because I don't see her much due to her living 30 minutes away from me. They just recently fixed their AC. A few hours before I was about to leave, it broke again. I tried to be patient but it heated up to over 80 degrees inside, and I'm really sensitive to heat. Thankfully they weren't offended. FML
Today, my mother dragged me to the mall to get me out of the house and to get me to stop using my phone. She then spent the whole trip talking on her phone instead of actually interacting with me. FML
Today, my grandma and her neighbor compared their sports bras in front of me. FML
Today, some idiot introduced my grandmother to yoga pants. FML
Today, my grandmother and I turned up to a family function wearing the same outfit. FML
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe if she did, she wouldn't do that because she would know better

Not if she has Alzheimers. A side effect is lose of social skills and socially acceptable behavior.

Lesson: Never take your grandmother to the mall.

If I EVER made the mistake of taking my grandmother to the mall, and she did this, my FML would go like so: "I had to hide in a bathroom for 30 minutes while my mom made her put her shirt back on. FML

Oh wow, how sad you would say that and how sad you would get so many people thumbing you up. My little brother is severely autistic, which results in him sometimes being loud or do strange things in public. Yes lots of people stare and some assholes make nasty comments about the fact that he should stay home instead of being out with “normal” people. However, I would never ever consider not taking him out because of a few thoughtless and selfish dickheads who don’t want to have their tiny world been bothered for a few minutes. My brother may be doing odd things but he is harmless and sweet. These people should be embarrassed for judging, not me or in this case OP’s family and shame on you to think that people with mental sickness are better off staying at home. They have feelings too and they enjoy being outdoors like we do. I think it’s great that OP and his (her?) mother take the poor gran out. If only people could simply could just move on instead of staring and making judgments.

Well let’s hope that your own family will not have the same reasoning if one day you develop dementia and that they will not be embarrassed by you but support you and take care of you no matter what.

You're being harsh. Dementia is a horrible condition which kills the person yet not the body. Poor woman.

If grandmother wants freedom, she should get a kilt.

Maybe she thought she was going to the pool

Maybe she heard Nelly singing, "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes. Granny's getting so hot, she's gonna take her clothes off." Granny really took those lyrics serious.

If I had a dime, wait. If I got a penny for the amount of time this jokes been said I could have single handily bought Microsoft and Apple :)

False. Microsoft and apple can't be purchased by a single shareholder.

Man, there been a lot of FML's about crazy grandparents. I think I have to count my blessing because I have a normal loving grandma.

In what way is that comment funny enough to merit an "ahha" at the end? Especially by yourself.
