Today, after threatening my son for weeks that if he didn't clean his room, I would, I went in, equipped with a garbage bag, ready to throw away everything I found, only to discover dozens of empty bottles, two partially empty pizza boxes, Taco Bell wrappers, and cockroaches. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife asked our 17 year-old son to clean his room. Following up, he lied to his mom and said it was clean. After rechecking his room, he began to throw things and I returned to find holes punched in the walls. I went and patched the holes, after which he immediately kicked more holes. FML
Today, my son found a cockroach in his bed. I had to kill the thing and wash all his sheets and stuffed animals before he'd finally agree to go back to bed, three hours later. FML
Today, I came home from work and found that my son had taken every single one of his toys out and left them on the floor. Plus some goldfish crackers. FML
Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML
Today, I had a bunch of parties while my parents were out of town. I made sure to clean up absolutely everything, I even vacuumed the stairs. As they pulled up, I noticed all of the trash bags filled with beer cans blocking their way into the garage. FML
Today, I visited my son at his university accommodations and noticed he's clearly never cleaned it since he moved in two years ago. I tried cleaning it myself, but gave up entirely when I found what looked like mushrooms growing out of an old takeout container. FML
Today, I came home from school to find almost every single personal possession and piece of furniture from my bedroom all laid out or disassembled in the back yard. My dad smugly told me I'd better start moving it all back. This is his revenge for me salting his coffee this morning. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment to see that my roommate had left out bread, deli meat, and cheese on the counter, so I made myself a sandwich. When she came back, she informed me that she found bugs in the fridge and took out all the food she thought would be contaminated. FML
Today, I cleaned my 21 year-old son's bedroom from top to bottom. When he got home from work all he could do was complain that the clothes that were on his "floordrobe"’ were "only worn once." This was my only day off, so why do I bother? FML
Today, I walked into my son's room only to be attacked by a swarm of flies. I'm afraid to go back in there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well that's a useless threat. "Do your chores or I will for you!"

What's the problem? You should've known what you were getting into.

Why are so many people saying "at least you didn't find condoms!"? Since when is safe sex a thing to be upset with someone for?

When they're still living with mom and dad.

It's just one of those topics you don't like bringing up and asking about, sure it's assumed you are but... You don't want to have the mental image of your parents going at it now don't you? I'm very (And hopefully) sure that the parents don't want that image

Yes, and it's completely understandable, but if they are going to do it- which they likely will whether mom likes it or not- wouldn't you be happier that your child was making the mature decision to NOT put themselves at a higher risks of STDs/pregnancy? I wouldn't encourage sex, but I certainly wouldn't forbid it and act like it doesn't exist.

Something tells me that Astro Plastic is merely a ****, as it's fairly obvious why they wouldn't want to see that. Either that, or her family is Black/Latino (Racism FTW!). On a side note that's unrelated, why the hell would the OP clean the room, that just reinforces the son's behavior.

There was one factual statement in that entire response, but no need to get all butthurt. Go back on Encyclopedia Dramatica and stay there.

Maybe so but that doesn't change my point in any way (Then, what if said family is heavily into Christan values?)

I wouldn't have cleaned it up for him. That's not teaching him anything.

Cleaning his room for him as a punishment? What great parenting skills you have. He probably left all that garbage there on purpose just to make you mad. YDI.
