Today, my family and I visited my cousins in Virginia. When we arrived, we found that they already had guests over. I've stuttered my whole life, so when they asked me what my name was, I stuttered for several seconds trying to say my name. Everyone burst out laughing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was called in over speakers at the airport. The man who was speaking clearly and nearly burst out laughing when he said my name. Soon, a few people around also snickered when they heard it. I had to wait five minutes before I could casually stand up. My last name is Bastard. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Within minutes, they said I needed to leave. Their reason? Apparently, I was mocking her dad's speech impediment. I also have one but they wouldn't believe me. FML
Today, I have a speech impediment that's recently become more noticeable. My entire family has decided that the best way to go about handling it is to mock me whenever I try to say something. FML
Today, I was giving a presentation to my college class. I've had a natural stutter my whole life, so I stuttered through the whole thing. My professor tried to hold in her laughter for 15 minutes. FML
Today, my family and I were visiting an aunt. While helping my aunt to set the table, my sister remarked that from behind I look exactly like her. I reflexively blurted out, "Well fuck you too." Very awkward silence. FML
Today, I got punched by a man for making fun of his stutter. I didn't. I stutter too. FML
Today, while at a store, my stuttering problem became so bad the poor store clerk had to supply my own words for me. FML
Today, I was at a volleyball game talking with my friends when a girl who is in my team arrived. She was greeting someone else but I thought that she was saying hi to me. However, I'd already waved back at her. All my friends and others noticed the situation and as a result they laughed at me. FML
Today, I bumped into a really cute guy I know. I stuttered and floundered, before saying, "Hi, it's me, Megan Thomas." My surname isn't Thomas, but his is. FML
Today, I showed up at my brother's house for a visit. Little did I know, there was a family gathering. My best friend was invited and I wasn't. She's "more fun and less awkward" than I am. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't worry about them OP, they're complete and total jerks. Your cousins are the worst! They KNOW about your problem & they still laugh at it. Yeah, I know families are mean and all, but someone who laughs at someone else just because they stutter (especially at your own family member in front of strangers/guests) is worth less than the dirt under my shoes.

I feel like it's even worse. I have the strong impression that OP's cousin's were like : "My cousin is comin' over. Wait until he tries to speak, it's ******* hilarious" Sorry for you OP.

That was completely rude of them

Sorry OP that your family and their friends are such ignorant asshatted buttmunchers. Clearly they aren't true Virginians who are by nature kind and friendly. Next time, show them this list (http://www.stutteringhelp.org/famous-people-who-stutter) and tell them to go **** themselves. They deserve to be bitch slapped into tomorrow!!

I'm a Virginian and not all of us are nice!

I'm a Virginian and where I live (somewhat Northern VA but not Arlington or DC), there's a mix of nice people and complete assholes.

I can vouch for Hailey's comment, I live in her area as well.

Not everyone is nice anywhere, obviously.

Except Canada.

^ I'm Canadian. That's false.

That's not something to laugh about.. That's cruel!

Solution: Move to a new town and don't ever speak out loud. That way, everyone will find you terrifying rather than hilarious. Plus, you'll have wicked awesome theme music every time you ride by on your motorcycle.

I'm so sorry that was a very cruel thing to do. What part of Virginia were you in? And don't worry, not all Virginians are like that! :)
