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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while hugging my sister's husband, I accidentally let out a "Mmm…" sound in front my whole family. FML
Today, I was having lunch with my sister and my mother. While my mom was busy ordering food, my sister said to me, "Look at this!" then contorted her face so that she had a double chin. My mother looked over and said to her, "Stop making fun of your sister!" FML
Today, I went to a family reunion with my brother and my mother. She spent quite a while giving a glowing introduction for my brother to one of her cousins. Then, just before walking off, she jerked a thumb in my direction and said, "Oh, yeah, and that's his sister." FML
Today, I walked over to join a group of friends and heard them talking about how hot some guy was but how ugly his sister was. I asked who they were talking about and there was an awkward silence, they hadn't realized I was there. Apparently, they were talking about my brother. FML
Today, I was meeting my boyfriend's family for the first time. The minute I stepped in the door his mother hit me in the face and kicked me out because I was "the slut her husband cheated on her with." My older sister and I look much alike. Too much alike. FML
Today, I went to a family reunion and made the mistake of wearing the same shirt as my cousin, who is known for always wanting to be the center of attention. She took one look at me, pointed, and said, “Oh, I see you’re copying me now, huh?” Then, my aunt overheard and said, “Well, she is your cousin, so it’s not like it’s a crime.” FML
Today, my identical twin sister's boyfriend walked over to me, and whispered in my ear, "I know what you look like naked." FML
Today, my sister was upset because she felt like no one liked her. Without thinking, I replied, "It's okay. If I acted like you, people would probably hate me, too." This sounded sympathetic in my head. FML
Today, I had to put my little sister to bed. Usually my mom sings her a lullaby before she puts her to sleep, so I did too. After I finished the song, my sister looked me dead in the eyes and said, "This is why I tell people we aren't related." FML
Today, I was at a family gathering and during a lull in the conversation I started to tell a joke to lighten the mood. Halfway through, I realized the joke was incredibly inappropriate. The room fell silent, and my grandma hasn’t looked at me the same since. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd say it's more **** her life, unless she doesn't look nice from behind. YDI.

Whether Auntie looked nice or not is forfeit, she should have took it as a compliment out of kindness.

regardless of the meaning behind the statement, i dont understand why '**** you too' would be a response to being told you look like someone. but then again maybe im just thick

OP thought her sister was insulting her by saying she looked like her aunt from behind. So OP's comeback was "**** you too". Looks like you missed the entire point of the FML.

How did that even cross your mind? "well my sister is saying something so it must be stupid. Let's swear at her." well I hope your aunt has a good sense of humor

I don't think you understood the point of the FML.
doodlecloud 27
In that case I don't think I get it either. Care to explain?

same...

The FML is worded poorly, but basically the sister said OP looks like the AUNT. Therefore, awkward when OP said 'well **** you too'. OP used the word "her" in the middle of the FML, where it could easily mean two different people, one being the aunt and the other being the sister herself. Hope this helps.

32. But if the sister said "you look just like her from behind" she would mean the aunt. If the sister said "you look just like me from behind" the she would mean herself. So I think this FML goes back to her blurting out curse words?

32 I don't think you get it. When OP said '**** you too' it meant she took the comment comparing her to the aunt negatively. It was offensive to the aunt that OP took it badly.

No #40. She said REFLEXIVELY. Meaning it was a reflex, partially on instinct. Just like if I were to pinch you as hard as I possibly can you would reflexively jerk your arm away. Of course, to many of you, you'd think "oh yeah, swearing at a sibling whom compliments you isn't alright". This is playful word play. I have a couple of "reflexive comebacks". I can imagine OP smiling while setting the dinner plate, her sister makes the remark, and OP with a smile on her face says "Well **** you too" entirely jokefully. THEN the awkward silence sets in and the aunt asks "what's that supposed to mean?".

my first thought was the sister has a big ass because it seems like women don't want big asses (in my opinion they're sexy, wish mine was bigger). OP if its a weight problem (as in your sister is heavy and that's why you got offended) take control of your body girl! you can start with something small like replacing all drinks with just drinking water. if you got offensive for other reasons (like your sister has a big ass or whatever genetic given thing)..well be proud and work w it! you always want what you can't have ...some chick might envy u. dude just be happy with yourself coz everyone's beautiful in their own way.

Point of order and reading comprehension...it's the SISTER saying the OP looks like the backside of the AUNT. Got it? Good! Carry on!!
1PersonIsMyWorld 22
Ooooo my ****** bad..did I make a mistake? let's all talk about it and point fingers. either way op flaunt what you got, everyone possesses beauty so work w what ya got girl!

I have no clue what was going through your head OP. **** you.

"well **** you too"
HeyHeyFishFillet 34
I'm curious as to why that response was a reflex...
zandalee 20
Or perhaps she has a wide bottom...

Maybe the sister is always insulting OP. Now OP is always ready with a comeback, whether or not it's appropriate.

I agree.. for ***** sake! granny doesn't need to hear such terrible words.

Auntie?

I have a hard time with the 'family filter' concept, because my family curses all the time and it's totally okay. My mother's nickname for me is 'Bitchface', my brother is '********', and it's been like that since high school - but since I've been an adult outside of any situation where you have to put on a filter for years, I often barely catch myself just about to curse on the rare occasion that I shouldn't. Cursing in front of my Grandma? A-okay. Cursing in front of my boyfriend's mother? Not a great idea.

OP, You should practice your manners for situations like this and not just reply reflexively as you did here. The proper phrase is "Intercourse you, dear sister, with extreme prejudice and chocolate syrup!" Live and learn, OP, live and learn!!

Hey, that could be a boost to her ego :P Just depends on the way you take it :)

...The initial comment on them looking alike. Not her comment back.

Your Aunt should have smacked your doppleganger behind with a switch.

Because whenever someone faces away from you, you see what they look like from behind..?
