Today, I came back to my appartment to find that I couldn't watch certain channels on my tv. When I called the tv company I found out my parents had put a 'parental block' on all my favorite channels. Im 22 and rent an appartment with my friends. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my husband put a parental block on the TV so I couldn't rent a movie. I'm 42. FML
Today, I finally got a cable box for my TV. When I was connecting the cable, my tv fell and shattered the screen. FML
Today, at around 11 p.m., the police made a visit to my house, explaining how my neighbors had thought I was using a universal remote to change their television channels. FML
Today, I was excited that my sister called me for the first time in months. She asked me to stop watching "Friends" so she could use the Netflix account. Now, I still have an absentee sister and no Friends. FML
Today, I was supposed to start my vacation in Italy. I guess not everyone heard that I canceled it due to health problems, because this morning I caught two of my "friends" unplugging my TV after breaking into my house. FML
Today, I tried to get my son off of the couch by turning off the wifi. Afterward, I went to watch tv. Turns out he got me back by turning off the cable. FML
Today, my parents took away my laptop, TV, Xbox, and car all because I broke up with my girlfriend. They said when I patch things up with her, I can have my stuff back. 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, just like almost every other day, my mom goes onto the computer and scolds me for what I watch on YouTube, even when the videos aren't that graphic. Today she scolded me because she found out that I'd watched videos related to the Max Headroom signal intrusion back in '87. Why can't I just watch what I want? FML
Today, I found out that it is possible for someone else to cancel my Internet, TV and phone services in two days. However it'll take me 5 days, after 6 hours on the phone, to get it back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't see how your parents could do this, unless they own the cable account and pay your bill (at age 22)... so you deserve this.

Can't you just tell the company to remove the block? If you can't because your parents are paying the bill, then I suggest that you and your roommates start drumming up a little extra cash to pay for your own.

Dear #49, Apartment was misspelled TWICE- that probably was not a typo. &if your parents are paying your bills and you are 22 years old- then you have no right to complain if they do something like this. they have complete control over you until youre fully independent. sorryyyy.

ohhhhh. I'm sorry dude. They never go away, do they? Unless of course you're 22 and they're still paying your cable bills, and then of COURSE they'll never go away!

unless they're paying, like everyone else said, they can't do that.

couldn't they only do this if they were paying? in which case you should jsut pay for your own television bill..

Considering that you can't spell "apartment," it is probably appropriate that your parents monitor whether you are mature enough to watch that junk. I'm not a bible thumper; I'm actually incredibly liberal but you should probably grow up a little.

kellster, Sounds like you're just jealous. I don't hate the guy just because his parents pay for his apartment (assuming you're correct). TV is important to some people; I'm betting you've gotten some things that you probably consider necessities too that other people consider luxuries.

#57 is right. 22-year-olds should be able to be independent, but the college financial aid system basically screws a lot of people out of being able to live independent adult lives because of expected parental contributions, and that shouldn't deprive them of the right to choose what they want to watch on TV. The OP's cable situation might be his/her own fault, but it might not be.

Read 10 pages of FML. This guy/gal posts repeatedly, conflicting information every time. You've got a spamming attention ***** here.

Stop complaining about something your parents are paying for. Get your own cable, hook up every sex channel they have, then mail your parents the bill with a big PAID stamp on it.
