Today, I went with my girlfriend to her parents' house. They told me I smelled of cheap vodka. When I told them I worked in a bio lab and used ethanol a lot, they said I was too stupid to do anything like that. My girlfriend broke up with me because her parents think I'm a drunk. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my girlfriend's mom. She went on about how my girlfriend's dad is a no good drunk, following this statement with spilling her fifth glass of wine. FML
Today, my girlfriend came over, drank half a bottle of Jack Daniels and pissed in my sink. I broke up with her and went out with friends. I met a woman and brought her home to watch a movie. She drank a bottle of wine and puked on my couch. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his family. They were drinking and having fun, so I joined in. I had one too many, got really goofy, and then suggested the farting game. "Sorry, I can't hold my liquor!" I quickly explained. My boyfriend's mom shot me a cold look and said, "It's non-alcoholic." FML
Today, I found out the reason my boyfriend dumped me was because his parents don't like the fact that I go to a prestigious university. However, they're completely accepting of the drunken slob who's dating their daughter. FML
Today, my parents lectured me about how my girlfriend will ruin my life, because she's a single mom, a recovering alcoholic, and has chronic health issues. Apparently, I should be with their friend's rude, trashy daughter, who can't keep a job, and goes on a drunken, drug-fueled bender every other week. I'm 31. FML
Today, it's been 2 weeks since I took my girlfriend to meet my friends, and they made her play a drinking game. A question she had to answer was about me and how she liked my hygiene, because her ex had terrible hygiene and never wiped his ass. Today she dumped me for him, so now to my friends I'm the guy who is lower than the skidmarks guy. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Today, my girlfriend's overprotective parents decided that I'm a bad influence on their daughter. I'm a straight A engineering student who openly speaks out against drugs, alcohol, and discrimination. Their reason? Someone told them I dyed my hair black. They think I'm a "closet Nazi". FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were visiting his parents. When we got there, I hugged his mother, and she glared at me. Later that day, I heard her telling her son that he should leave me because I smell like cigarettes, and she hates smokers. I don't smoke, my boyfriend does. He did all the way there. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents. Her father looked me up and down, said, “No” then went back to his TV. My girlfriend immediately broke up with me and threw me out. I even had to get a really expensive taxi home, because we’d driven in her car and I had no idea what part of the city I was in. FML

I think there's more to this story than a 300-character-limit allows. (or whatever number it actually is)

Why should she care so much about what her parents think? I know some people want their parents and their boyfriend to get along, but why should she dump you over that? She should've talked to her parents about it, instead of just dumping you because they think you're a drunk. If that's how little it takes for her to dump you, you're better off without her.

well if you work in a bio-lab then you are too smart to date a girl like that...find someone who does not jump on every rumor they hear

There's a good chance his girlfriend relies on her parents to support her through college or something of the sort. If they forced her to break up with him by threatening her, then it wasn't her fault. That was probably a fake reason, if not. She might just have needed a reason to break up with the OP.

Ok I use Ethanol, Methanol, Acetone and Acid-Alcohol every day and I don't smell of them when I leave work! Either - you need to seriously refine your technique - you aren't meant to get covered in the chemicals you use. Or more likely you are full of crap. Totally calling Shenanigans.

One thing is being "Bi(sexual)" and another thing is a "Bio(logical)" Lab. OP: FYL indeed. I beleive you should send them a call, picture or something from work. Either way, they're really skullfucked.

correction: her parents think you're both drunk AND stupid... also very nice of her for not defending you... what a cow!

Tell them that you'll show them to your workplace and when she wants to date you again, break up with her for having stupid parents and being their puppet. :D Then Its a win-win for you and she won't like her parents :[]
