Today, I found a video of a school play I starred in years ago. I was ecstatic, because it's really the only memento of my childhood I have left. Unfortunately, it started with my grandpa groaning, "Ahh shit," and degenerated into him muttering over the audio about "those fucking commies." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found my boyfriend and his friends laughing hysterically and practically choking on popcorn. They were watching a video of me in a school play, trying to sing while sobbing because I'd just pissed my pants in front of 200 people. Thanks for giving him the video, mom. FML
Today, I made a couple of videos of me playing guitar and singing some of my favorite songs. I got back from school to find my family huddled around the camcorder, laughing, imitating, and making jokes about the video. FML
Today, I showed my girlfriend some old home videos of me as a kid. My dad must have taped over one though, because halfway through it cut to extremely graphic footage of his colonoscopy. FML
Today, I recently participated in a play and my mom asked for the video, so I said that someone should be sending it soon. My dad said, "It's OK, she doesn't have friends, she hasn't had one since childhood, that's why she doesn't have the video." I do in fact have friends, and the video had been sent already but I forgot to check. FML
Today, I was re-watching my wedding video. As I was walking down the aisle, you could hear my grandfather mutter "Here comes the bride, all fat and wide." FML
Today, I performed a piano piece at a school play. Everything went well until I got up and accidentally smashed my shin against one of the piano legs. Before I could bite my tongue, I'd already yelled "Fucking hell!" in front of about 50 second graders. FML
Today, my family and I were about to watch the video my dad took of me walking across the stage at my high school graduation. Turns out he recorded the wrong kid. FML
Today, I went to my son's high school play. The moment I arrived at the auditorium, I shouted out his name to let him know I made it. Thinking I was a student, a teacher yelled, "SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" Scared out of my mind, I quickly obeyed, to mass giggling from the kids. FML
Today, I was watching TV with my grandpa, and he stopped flipping channels on a movie with a hot naked chick getting oiled down. Suddenly the remote landed on my stomach as my mom and grandma walked in. They yelled at me for being a pervert, while my grandpa sat and chuckled. FML
Today, some idiot kid teased and taunted me for weeping on my "already bad performance", recording it on his phone threatening to put it on social media. I was singing and playing the guitar, in front of my childhood sweetheart, and supposedly soon-to-be wife's grave. It was our song. I do this every year on this day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I have a friend who's grandpa is very racist, it ends so bad at family parties because the dads family has some Latino roots so when they come over the moms dad....let's just say it doesn't go well

1- Differences in generations are generally indicative of racist comments, not rude comments against family members.

If he hates something as misunderstood as communism, he should know to keep it to himself. Especially during a kids performance.

at least that's all it was, my highschool graduation was recorded by my mother over a porno, every time they paused the camera, you get 3-4 seconds of a girl (who looks a lot like me from afar) moaning and grinding. . . I discovered this while watching it with my father . . yeah childhood ruined

He probably didn't know it could hear him, if hes from that time. Show some respect. My grandmother loves her Gameboy. I don't question it. We link cable and trade.

I was born in Soviet Ukraine and "Red Commie Bastard" was an affectionate nickname of mine for awhile. I'm also always up to no good.

The American don't even understand the word communist. They use it to pretend to be smart. In older days they would be the same going at black people. But since being racist is forbidden now...

Completely unrelated, but I am in love with your profile picture. You, ma'am, are winning at life in my book.

What are you saying..? I'm kinda wondering if this is a Hetalia reference... or if I'm just too stupid to understand what you're saying... :O It's probably the latter.
