Today, for my mom's 50th birthday, all she wanted was a certain gold bracelet. It was too much money for me to buy, so I bought the same one in silver. Right before I gave it to her, my older sister gave her the gold bracelet, which made her cry. When I gave her my present, she just said, "Oh." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, was my mom's birthday. I recently got my first job, thanks to her, and could finally afford to buy her something nice. I spent my first paycheck ever on buying her a very nice bracelet. She said it was nice, then asked if I would mind if she exchanged it for one she actually liked. FML

Wow, what a bitch. She should have at least been grateful you spent your hard-earned money on pointless shit for her. You should have just taken it back from her if she is going to be so ungrateful.

I'm pretty sure the only reason she said "Oh" was because she got the exact same thing in a different colour ten seconds earlier.
