Today, I needed a change of clothes, so I called my mom. She brought me a grey shirt with a toucan on the front and 'Mexico City' spelled in glitter. I asked her why she would bring me such an ugly shirt, and she started crying. Turns out she'd bought it for me as a present from her trip. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I returned a shirt for my mom. When the cashier asked why, I just said my mom didn't like the way it looked. After an awkward pause, I noticed the cashier was wearing the same shirt. She was not amused. FML
Today, I found out where a few of my favorite outfits went. My mother had taken them out of my closet, wrapped them, and given them to my cousin as a gift. FML
Today, my non-English-speaking grandma bought me a new t-shirt. It would've been sweet if it didn't have the word "bondage" written on the back in pretty, bold letters. I had no choice but to wear it while we went shopping. FML
Today, my mother had a full-on hissy fit because of the clothes I was wearing. Not because she thought they were inappropriate, but because I was "stealing her look." FML
Today, my mom bought me a t-shirt from the store. It has the U.S. Marines logo on it and says "Marine's Girlfriend." I'm a straight 16 year-old boy and my mom only reads and speaks Spanish. FML
Today, I walked in on my mom changing. She was trying on a thong my boyfriend bought me for Valentine's Day. It looks better on her. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML
Today, for my mom's 50th birthday, all she wanted was a certain gold bracelet. It was too much money for me to buy, so I bought the same one in silver. Right before I gave it to her, my older sister gave her the gold bracelet, which made her cry. When I gave her my present, she just said, "Oh." FML
Today, I got dressed in a hurry and grabbed what I though was a basic white shirt from the clean laundry pile. It wasn’t until I stepped into the elevator at work and saw myself in the mirror that I realized I was wearing one of my girlfriend’s shirt. It was snug, had a floral pattern, and made me look like I was trying too hard to be trendy. It was a long day. FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML

Making your mom cry is the worst feeling!

You better start wearing that shirt 24/7 to appease your mom. I don't care if you start smelling like poop buried in gravel.

28&29----just shut up. there's no reason to be obnoxious and rude.

I have a small feels you're one of those people who think getting hit in the nuts is a lot more painful than childbirth. Childbirth hurts like a bitch, especially being in it for that long. Props to you #14 for going through that

So 14, was it your labour as in you having a baby or your mom's labour having you?

Those 23 thumbs up must have given a shit.

41 hours for me. Honestly, it sucks when you make your mom cry...
finnrambo 13
getting hit in the nuts doesn't hurt that badly though... it just makes you feel nauseous for a bit, I broke my arm at the elbow by having it bend the wrong way once though... I think that's just about equal not that I'd know

OT but my labor was 42 hrs..........

28 & 29: you both need to realize she was just saying that her mom has more to hold against her since labour was so long. She's just adding her story onto the situation, you know, connecting!

Be happy you have some clothes on your back, people out there barely have a thread covering their entire bodies.

No need to be an asshole.

Well, girls are shelling out big quids for skimpy clothing... I can't tell if they're being sentimental to those without good clothes or just mocking them...

Bikini Headquarters Boss: Okay, we need to come up with a fresh idea, you, what do you got? Random A: We could try to redesign the one piece. Boss: I hate it, you're fired and shame on you and your family. What about you? Random B: Return to our roots and make sensible, yet sexy swimsuits? Boss: You know what? **** all of you, we're going with my design: sew together three triangles of non-waterproof material, add some string and sell it for 50 dollars. Brilliant right? And that, my friends, was how the bikini was born. Riveting story isn't it? Be sure to check out my new and upcoming novel, Two Dimes and A Chip: The Modern Equivalent to A Swimsuit.

Aww OP, you're not an asshole. If the shirt was ugly it was ugly. It's not her fault or yours. Next time just say "mom I appreciate you thinking about me but this isn't my style". Enjoy your shirt for the day!

If she cared enough to buy a shirt as a souvenir, wouldn't she have mentioned where she was going on vacation? It seems like it shouldv'e been easier to put two and two together...

Good for you. Want a cookie?

Tha;s why you simply say a gracious thank you and if you don't like it, give it to someone else as a gift. no need to tell your mother.
KiddoKS 19
It's not that easy if op still lives at home, though. Trust me, his mom will notice if he's not wearing it. I feel it's better to be honest, but in a more gentle and polite way.

This is why we have synonyms such as 'interesting' and 'startling' instead of 'ugly'.
ottokat 15
Though I agree with your point, I am forced to point out that startling and interesting are not synonyms to ugly. And OP, I'm sure you had no intention of upsetting your mother. Next time just try using a bit of tact and thinking about what you say first, especially if it's negative.

Or unique. Unique is a good word.
