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

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.

What harm is it going to cause you to wear an interesting shirt for a few hours that your mama brought to you as a favor? You should have just said thank you and worn it. Not be ungrateful.

Yeah, how often do you find a Mexico City shirt in a U.S gift shop? You really didn't think it was from her trip?

Seeing how you've never seen the shirt in the closet, and your mom recently went on a vacation to there, wouldn't it be obvious that she got it for you?

Apologize to her and give her a gift to

Yes OP, you should be thankful that your mother bought you an ugly shirt that will probably spend its whole life in your closet because you'll never wear it out in public! You should be thankful for such a useless gift! /sarcasm I'm wondering how many of the people saying you should appreciate any gift you get would write me a letter of appreciation if I gifted them one of Justin Beiber's albums...

Ugly shirt is an ugly shirt, I prefer the honesty and she should too. Better to know your tastes so she can get something you'd like next time than more ugly shirts. Doesn't mean OP isn't thankful for the thought, she just didn't like the gift.

Your mom is probably a very nice person and wanted to get you a little gift. You are a terrible person and I hope you die alone.

#56- Shut up. If I thought what I said was too harsh, then I wouldn't have said it. So many dumbasses these days.
