Today, I discovered that my family routinely waits until after my bedtime to order a pepperoni pizza, my favorite food. If that wasn't bad enough, I'm 17 and still have a strictly enforced bedtime. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I felt like cheating on my diet and ordered a pizza. My mom and my sister were napping, so I put in the delivery notes, “Please don’t knock.” The delivery guy knocked anyway. LOUD. My mom and sister got up and saw everything. FML
Today, yet again, we have a fridge full of food, but my wife asked if we can order pizza in front of the kids, who all started jumping in excitement yelling, "PIZZA!" Now I can either say no and deal with pouting and tantrums, or waste money on crappy pizza. FML
Today, I ordered a pizza online to be delivered to my apartment. After an hour of waiting, I called the pizza place to ask what the problem was. Apparently, the people at the apartment below me took my already paid for pizza and ate it. FML
Today, at the age of 20, I still have a bed time. It is strictly enforced by my cat via endless meows if I am up past 11 pm. FML
Today, my parents heard me leaving my room at 2 am, and freaked out because they thought I was sneaking out. I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was getting food instead of having a social life. FML
Today, my dad learned how to use the parental controls. I now have an 11 o'clock curfew. I am 17. FML
Today, I found out that my favorite pizza place will no longer deliver to my area after dark because they've been robbed too many times. FML
Today, it’s my birthday. My family tradition is that whoever has the birthday chooses the dinner. I chose pizza, but my older sister had a tantrum, complete with throwing my phone at the wall, breaking it, saying she wanted Chinese instead. My parents ordered Chinese. FML
Today, due to my wife saying I never cook and that we always order pizza, I spent a good hour preparing dinner. While serving it to my kids, they started complaining. My wife told them to shut up. When she took a bite, she looked up at me, smiled, and said, "Do you, you know, want to just order pizza?" FML
Today, my parents insisted that despite the fact I've just turned sixteen, I have to save them money by ordering from the children's menu, because I "still look like a twelve year-old." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Better yet, get a job as a pizza delivery driver and refuse to take pizzas to that house.

Order a pepperoni pizza for yourself, and refuse to share.

OP - That sucks! It appears that you should have motivation to get a job and your own place as soon as you can.

It can be hard to get a job if you are in a situation where you are seventeen and still have a strictly enforced bedtime. That can also mean that they have a strictly enforced "You must be home by this time" which can limit your availability which can make businesses less than incline to hire you. That's assuming that the OP isn't in a situation where their parent has flat out said they may not get a job because their job is to study, get good grades, and go to college. Plus the opposite could be true in the first place. The OP may already have a job.

My friend had to work at a family business so he never had any free time and all of his pay went into a bank account that he couldn't touch. Sometimes the family is the problem, not the OPs lack of initiative.

We have been monitoring the situation at your residence for some time. It is now time to act. What you need to do now is sneak out of the abode after you have been put down for nappy-time. Once you are outside you must await the "delivery" person. When the "delivery" person arrives you must gently render them unconscious (method is up to you but we encourage caution). Once you have completed this task you must consume the entire "pizza" to verify the authenticity of said "pizza". If you choose to accept this mission, we will be in touch after you have consumed the "pizza". If you are caught in the act, we must disavow any knowledge of your actions. --- Agent JPN out

Now when you say family do you mean parents and is it there time to not have a 17 year old 3rd wheel.

I had a bedtime till I moved out of my parents' house... at 22. No knowledge of any secret pizza tho, so it's all good.

It's a good time to start sleepwalking. People on Ambien claim to engage in sleep-eating. Problem solved.

Get a job, and get out of there
