Today, I drove 12 hours with 6 screaming little girls. They were arguing about things that should've been in the Lego movie. They watched it 4 times. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we were going to Disney World all the way from North Carolina. After 12 hours of driving, my kids started fighting and complaining. My husband finally said, "If I hear you guys one more time we're turning around and going back home." They annoyed him once again, and we actually went home. FML
Today, I left for a fifteen-hour drive with two guys who won't stop talking in a Yoda voice. Sick of this nonsense, I am. FML
Today, while on holiday in Melbourne, I begged my wife to take a day off from yelling angrily at our 4 year-old. A few hours later, she was cursing and yelling in front of gathering onlookers because he didn't want to go inside LegoLand. FML
Today, I had to sit in between two boys on a two-hour bus ride. They were watching a movie and each of them had shared an earphone. They made me hold the phone up so both of them could see the screen. FML
Today, at the crack of dawn, I started a 700-mile road trip with my three children. So far, I've stopped four times, settled several arguments, cleaned up spilled yogurt and melted silly putty. 130 miles down, 570 to go. FML
Today, I was babysitting a kid for the first time. She asked if she could watch a movie, so I downloaded Cinderella for her. An hour later, this 10-year-old girl was lecturing me about unrealistic standards of beauty and abusive relationships, and how I suck for liking the movie. FML
Today, I went to watch the Movie "UP." At one point in the movie I got really sad and started to cry a bit. The 7 year old girl next to me noticed and told me to shut and man up. FML
Today, I went to see Ghostbusters: Afterlife. A family talked through the whole movie, phones on, watching YouTube videos, totally interrupting the experience. FML
Today, I was watching the movie Frozen with my 8 year old daughter. I had seen it before, so I sung along with some of the songs. My daughter put a finger over my lips, said "Shhhhhhhhut the fuck up," then turned back to the TV, giggling. FML
Today, I was shut in a boiling hot room with six children: a ten year-old who kept shouting; a belligerent seven year-old; two five year-olds who thought hitting me was funny, and two two year-olds who wouldn't stop crying. Their parents were just outside, laughing away, ignoring me. FML

It could've been worse though right? They could've been screaming about the kardashians.... Then you'd truly be dead OP.

I think being around six screaming little girls for twelve hours is pretty excruciating, no matter what the topic is.

Nah sounds more like movie critics

this truly deserves a medal of valor.

Either he's brave or very gullible

is it a good movie? just curious
CerSpence 11
The stop motion is a little weird to get used to at first, but the writing and voice acting is hilarious.
winchestinalock 21
thanks #8 !
artiststatement 21
It's actually entirely CGI minus the end credits! And the cast is phenomenal! I was worried about the storyline when I first saw the posters, but it's such a great movie. I probably couldn't discuss it for 12 hours, but that's me.
winchestinalock 21
wow can't wait to watch it then!
Crazc 15
its animated
Mauskau 36
SPACE SHIP
Yakostovian 18
Basically, it turns every repetitive bad movie idea on its head and spins it into something wonderful and unexpected. 9/10.
Mr_retardo 8
Ummm.... When did you here that it's Cgi? It's completey real. Those were all Legos...
Axipiter 24
I must have made every one of my coworker's' hit lists when I started continually yelling Spaceship. That was the best!
maverick1752 16
It's part CGI and part stop-motion, some of that stuff would be impossible to make a scene out of just using legos
MRP360 14
They must love rotten tomatoes then
Adam5858 17
Get them to join the movie directing business,obviously when they get a little older
thomcmoore 23
Wait, I thought everything was awesome?
gjikvtj 18
Arnold is all I needed
KuzzBuzz3 15
Everything is awesome!!! Only when.... "You're a part of a team"

ear plugs would of helped somewhat, it may not make them seem silent, but it should at least muffle the noise
marinegal 22
I believe that is illegal in most states in the US. You need to be able to hear sirens.
sunnyray812 42
It is prohibited to use anything that covers/plugs your ears such as headphones, earbuds, and earplugs in most states. Drivers need to communicate to one another not only by sight but by sound especially in emergency cases.

And yet somewhat ironically it's legal for deaf people to drive.
TurtleLightning 7
See I'm smart, I am with my gf right now an 2 little screaming girls, we kept them up all night and presto, sleeping kids
stripepanther 10
#38 I take offense to that. I am deaf and so are my aunt and uncle. we all drive. I even drive a stick better than most guys I know so I suggest you have more respect and do your research. it is actually very easy for us to drive we just have to pay more attention to things around us. And added bonus, no distraction from 6 screaming kids
Soloman212 28
I don't think he was saying that deaf people can't drive stick shift, just that it's odd that one law implies hearing is necessary to drive safely while another contradicts that. But hey, it's the future. Who am I to tell you what to and not to be offended by.
LisaDay 14
Why would it be illegal for deaf people to drive? In most cases, they were born deaf and can function just fine, if not better, than people who can hear. I have a deaf friend and she is definately a hell of a lot better driver than a lot of people who can hear. They pay better attention to the roads. Are they not allowed to go to the movies because they can't hear what's going on?
RedPillSucks 33
Read #47s response. It's a legitimate question. I'm sure there's a simple response from someone who knows the law. There's no need to rail against the person asking the question. I don't think any slight against deaf people was intended. It was simply a point about how contradictory some laws can be.
marinegal 22
It is very different to no be able to hear honks/sirens/etc because of something outside of your control versus putting ear plugs in.
TheGreatAlexande 12
54 It's illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of diability, so that's my nest guess. Despite the dact it'd be better if they could here, you can't deny a person a license solely on the basis of deafness.
RedPillSucks 33
That's fine. We're not really talking about discrimination. So the point would be, if hearing is not required for driving (legally), why is there a prohibition against wearing headphones/earbuds while driving?
chazzywazzy654 22
The music might become a distraction whereas someone who is deaf cannot hear so isn't distracted from their driving
sjhill 32
At least it was the lego movie and not something like One Direction or Frozen or even Justin Bieber
AnOriginalName 19
You saying there's something wrong with Frozen?
warsun 27
No but there's something wrong with the little girls screaming how good frozen is and blasting let it go full volume. But maybe that's just me.
Chibi_Kitten 24
I never want to hear "Let It Go" ever again...I feel your pain 63...
brandoneyez1 25
That's when you turn the music up!
PrimeEvilTahir 24
And then to OP's horror the radio is playing... "Everything is awesome" The 6 girl crowd goes wild!!
ThatStudent 5
Now imagine if you took them to see Frozen instead.
cakefete2 31
Then, they would have really been arguing, due to the inability to just... let it go.

Then they'd be begging to build a snowman.
