Today, I called my parents from out of state to see if they would order me a pizza using their credit card online because I'm out of money. I haven't lived with them for the past year, and they still claim me as a dependent on their taxes. They said no. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my parents are 28,000 dollars in debt and that my bank account has $27.17 in it. They took my money to help pay their debt. FML
Today, I found out why I haven't been getting my bank statements for the past couple of months. My parents have been hiding them from me, because they've been stealing from it. FML
Today, I finally got the nerve to tell my parents that I'm no longer going to pay them a flat percent of my salary, but only what they need to cover my expenses. Their response: "Better find a place of your own then, you freeloading bastard." FML
Today, my parents took me out to eat. When the bill came, they stared at me for a while before asking, “Aren’t you gonna pay?” They've never made me pay before, there was no indication that I’d have to pay this time, and I’d left my wallet at home. FML
Today, I lived at home rent free, until now. According to my mother, I receive "too many packages" from online shopping, and now I need to "chip in." FML
Today, I found out the only reason my parents want me to live with them is because of the tax refund. FML
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML
Today, my parents said they were cutting me off for saving a kitten's life and wanting to keep it. I am 40 years-old and don't get any money from them. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you're out of money, you should be asking your parents for money for groceries that will last a week or longer, not pizza that will only last a day and a half. How are you even managing to live on your own if you don't have any money, anyway? I don't really see the second to last sentence as being relevant; seems like you're just putting that there to say that your parents owe you.

17- did you not hear this guy basically say his parents were mooching off him? the least they can do is get him a pizza. since when does teaching someone responsibility include giving them your own responsibilities

Why are you out of money? If you blew all of your food money on pot than YDI. If not, then I thinks it's time to claim yourself.

All of you high and mighty people can go F*** yourselves, this economy SUCKS, the job market SUCKS, and most of the jobs that young people can get are difficult to live off of. Most of you being so judgmental and unfair are probably young enough that you don't have to worry about a job, or old enough that you had a job before this shitty job market hit. I have been looking for a summer job for years, and no one will even look at me because I don't have a lot of experience. Don't judge people for things you don't have to deal with.
uuuuughhhh 14
why would you even assume they spend it on pot?

Rob the pizza place, when you get caught blame your parents. The police will investigate them and will go to jail for sayin youre still dependant. Theyll be forever sorry and will give you money forever. Thatll show them! BWAHAHAHA!!
