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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I found out my that my girlfriend's parents hate me, all because they saw me laughing and hanging out with another girl. That other girl was my sister. 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, my parents held an intervention for me. Apparently they think I'm turning into a goth. All because they saw me re-lacing my shoes with black shoelaces instead of white ones. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. After she left, they told me they disapprove of her because of her supposedly lower social class. Now I have to either dump her or lose the money they set aside to pay for my university tuition. FML
Today, I finally found out why my new co-worker has been shooting me dirty looks, being rude to me, and generally trying to avoid me. It's because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and she thinks people like me are Nazis. FML
Today, I found out why my dad doesn't want my girlfriend coming to our house anymore. Apparently, her dad used to bully him a lot during high school and he's never gotten over it. He's threatened to disown me if she comes back over here. 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, 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 found the courage to tell my parents about my boyfriend. They simply reacted by lecturing me about how much he'll ruin my life, and how much they don't like him. They haven't met him yet. FML

Why don't you publicly preach how discrimination is wrong to them then?

I think it's better for you not to be related in anyway to such parents since such people brings nothing but headache.

What's a "skinhead" aren't they nazi too.
MrleClochard 4
Nope. Check Wikipedia.

Actually the "perfect Nazi" was, according to Hitler, suppose to have blue eyes and blonde hair. It's just irony that he didn't fit into this category.

skinheads are shaved-almost bald people, lol. And racists. Not Nazis.

34 wikipedia is almost never right considering anyone can post or change articles. from the description it kinda sounds like OP is full of himself.. nobody is an angel bud. and it's quite obvious they don't want thief daughter to dye her hair. so tell them that you didn't dye your hair.. problem solved.

36- That was the perfect person, not just Nazi. That's why he was trying to kill everyone that didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes. Although I'm sure he would have wanted them all to be Nazis as well.

Aren't skinheads and neonazis pretty much the same? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I (unfortunately) know a woman who is basically a skinhead but without actually shaving her head, and she has swatzikas (sp) all over her.

49-Actually, dude, Wikipedia is more often right than not. It just has a bad rep because anyone can right stuff.

actually thousands of Jews with Aryan features were killed in the Holocaust
dolphincheddar 10
60. that's true. but it's at the point I can't trust it. for example, I heard the tragic news of Ryan dunns passing (he will be missed) and, trying to figure out what happened, consulted wikipedia, which told me he was shot and murdered in a homicide. now who in the world would want to shoot such an awesome guy?

blond hair, blue eyes and white skin is the Ayrian race. Basically thought to be perfect, Hitler did not fit the category but he didn't need to seeing as he led most people within this donomonation. also skinheads can be considered Neo-Nazis because they highly regard Hitler for the Holocaust

May i just say that I am loving the level of ignorance in this thread?
Trololololololo_fml 7
..because someone who talks against discrimination could clearly be a closet Nazi.

Then stop looking at it. He doesn't have to change it just because you're "tired of it".

Think about what will happen when they find out that you kiss!

Her parents are clearly either nutters or simply don't like you and are looking for an excuse. They probably just think that you will take their "baby" away from them. Only you can decide whether you can handle that and whether she is worth the aggravation. They may calm down if/when it becomes evident they are not going to come between you. PS alcohol's not so bad - in moderation!

I love how most people on FML probably will not read your comment.
Ugi 27
Because it's more than 2 lines? Yes, you are probably right.

when people write novels as comments, they tend to be skipped. lol

I usually hate really long comments like this, but you speak the truth sir.

those parents are pretty stupid or using lame excuses
Nosmo75 4
Those two explanations are hardly mutually exclusive. =P
Gigglebear 9
FYL. If you were a skinhead their ummm... logic... would make more sense. Black hair - Nazi??
YaboyVinnie 21
My own parents thought that about me too, until they found out about the Evil Monkey.
unluckiestperson_fml 14
Since when was black hair related to nazis? Hitler wanted blonde hair and blue eyes, you should make sure they know that...
VeganVampyre 27
No... "closet" because he's not openly saying he's a Nazi or supporting Nazi ideals. Not because he dyed his hair the wrong colour. That doesn't even make sense.
xMexicanXJesusx 0
Op probably had blue eyes and probably blonde hair before dying his hair black, so there lame excuse is that he's a "closet Nazi" Because he dyed his hair.
commietaco 0
that's why he is a "closet" nazi. he probably had blonde hair and blue eyes before he dyed his hair
Mirorbo 27
When most people hear about someone dying their hair black, they think "Goth" or "Emo". How these people came up with "Closet Nazi" is beyond me...
seventothanine 5
Okay, people....listen up. If you are a closet gay, you would pretend to like girls and might go on dates with them to prove it. So if you are a closet Nazi, you would pretend to accept Jews and may dye your blond hair black. But her parents really jumped to conclusions!
cimh 9
Good explanation, but after the wrong comment. #12 was just saying that people usually relate "goth" or "emo" to black hair and not a "closet nazi". ;)
VeganVampyre 27
When I dyed my hair black, my best friend's mom decided I was a bad influence as well. But her reason was that it meant I worshipped the devil.

Maybe they're on to something. Maybe he was born a Nazi but just hasn't found out yet. If I were OP's GF, I'd keep an eye out for hair bleach, and the book "Mein Kampf".
xNephilim 19
What? "Born a Nazi?" Please tell me you're kidding.
