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
Collection
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.

uhh why do they have access to your cable account if you don't live with them? #49, i respect your defense of OP, but if someone's parents helped with ONE thing, i don't think it'd be the cable bill. really.

my guess is that they're probably helping pay for the rent and whatnot, so they do have some control over it.... sucks to be you

I think the overwhelming lack of sympathy speaks volumes. Sounds like your parental units are trying to pry you off the teat.

wow, its like none of you guys have ever heard of being in college. 22 isnt that old to still be a dependent. no one in my family is paying for themselves yet and my sister is 24. school. trust me it gets old.

#23 you'd be surprised at what some parents think are inappropriate channels and will block: MTV, HBO, etc.

38 is right ...everyone thinks that just cuz he has an apartement he has to pay for things on his own. apartements and cable cost money dumb *****. ppl can have some financial help from parents. I know 30 yr olds still living at home.I no that's weerd but a 22 yr old w/ a little help ? that's normal. and no one cares abt spelling
