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.

If you're in your own apartment and your parents still pay for your cable, then perhaps it's a good idea to get off the couch and get a job. It's not like your favorite channels are available anymore.

That doesn't make too much sense to me..unless your parents pay for you and your friends to watch tv..in which case pay the bill yourself or deal with it.

Hahahahaha! Brilliant! This is definitely like something mine would do! I assume they put parental block on the **** channels tho, or else this wouldn't make sense, so shame on you for your favourite channels being the pornos!!

I agree with the others about you paying the bill yourself, but what I'm wondering is what kind of channels were you watching that your parents decided that they needed to block them? I'm suprised nobody else has said that yet...

don't think that OP's favorites r def. inappropriate, my parents blocked stuff like family guy, american dad, and the simpsons for chrissakes (it sucks DICK)

Maybe if you prove to your parents that you're old enough to know how to spell the word "apartment", they'll know you're grown-up enough to watch whatever you want.
