Today, my grandma told me that I'm starting to look like my sister. I jokingly replied, "Uh-oh I'm in trouble then." She gave me a very disapproving look and said, "You should be happy. She's beautiful, unlike you." FML

Today, my dad found the ugliest picture my mom has ever taken. I show it to her laughing. She said it looks like me. I looked again and it kind of does. FML
Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML
Today, my date told me I have a smile that "reminds him of his grandma." Then he showed me a picture. I look exactly like her. FML
Today, my little sister asked me what she would look like when she got older. I told her that she would probably look a lot like me. She started to cry. FML

Like you did start it by dissing your sister, but grandma there did the language equivalent of responding to a light flick by full throttle punching you in the face.

Damn. That's rude. Hopefully you can easily move past this- as how you look to her should not affect your daily life

"Actually, because beauty is objective, I ran the Objective Beauty Calculation (OBC) and am ranked 0.298263 points higher than my sister. Boy, it's a good thing looks aren't subjective!"

I would have said: "Yeah. I know. Must be because I get my looks from you."
