Today, I found out that my wife makes mashed potatoes by using her dirty feet to crush the potatoes because apparently this is a "healthy, natural" way to make them, and it also cleans her feet. I've been eating her mashed potatoes at least once every week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I found out what rotten cooked potato both smells and tastes like. FML
Hydrated pinkies
Today, we went for a foot massage. My wife found it incredibly relaxing; I just found it weird that a complete stranger seemed to be trying to give each of my toes its own handjob. Plus they used so much moisturiser that it made the inside of my shoes feel like squishy mud all day. FML
Mush
Today, I over-boiled some potatoes. I was having a bad day and this tipped me over the edge. I burst into tears and threw the potatoes all over my kitchen. I then stomped on the piping hot potatoes. The bottoms of my feet are blistered and still feel like they’re burning. FML
Pet peeve
Today, I got home from work to see that not only had my wife opened my bag of potato chips, she'd ripped it all down the side and left it open all day without a clip. Now my chips are stale. She has a whole bag of her favorite flavor, unopened, right next to it. FML
Today, I watched my husband pick his dead foot skin and say, "That's a keeper!" before putting it in his mouth. FML
Keep it clean
Today, my wife bitched at me for not washing my hands before handling the dishes. The dirty dishes. That were sitting in a sink of hot soapy water. According to her, the dirt from my hands was gonna make the dirty dishes even dirtier. Huh? FML
Today, I found out what unwashed, warty feet taste like after someone kicked me in the mouth with one. FML
Today, my wife stabbed my hand with a fork, making it bleed. I'd only tried to take some fries from her plate. FML
Today, my wife complained that the coffee grounds I swept into the sink grossed her out. Yesterday, I removed several panty-liners from her soiled underwear before doing the laundry. FML
No mash for you
Today, I was making mashed potatoes in a hurry, I had the pot boiling on high when I had to rush to the bathroom. As I'm walking away, I ask my boyfriend to watch the potatoes. When I returned, they were no longer boiling and he proudly announced he added cold water because they looked a little dry. What? FML

I'd say have a glass of wine and mull it over, but that might just get you thinking of how those grapes were crushed.

That's not so bad. I found out my mom used to chew food and put it in my mouth before i had teeth instead of putting it in a blender. She was a smoker :/

Ha ha.. Plenty of mother do like that. Their comment: " you are just an infant, they need to chew and feed you by their mouth to help you swallow easier".. But honestly it's disgusting..ewww:(
EpicSquishii 21
It's ******* gross, I wish she'd never told me :( I know she meant well but *gag* that's just so wrong
Saone_fml 27
Actually 45, birds regurgitate the food, animals that do pre-chew food are wolves and other such animals, because usually young cubs have difficulty chewing even the tenderest of meats. It's a bit icky to think you ate something from your mum's mouth, but for most it won't have been the first thing you ate from her body, and pre-chewed food can be considered your first steps towards solids instead of... mush. ;)

50-I love how in your profile,in the description it says "I like potatoes"XD

It may seem disgusting, but that is what the majority of mothers in the world do. Depending on where your mother is from and/ or how much money your family had when you were born, feeding you per chewed food may have been the only option for feeding you.

It was when she wanted to "spoil" me. Like if she had steak and I'd smell it and start crying because my Gerber baby food was gross. She liked to do things like that, and I'm glad she was so accomadating. But it's still gross to think about lol

That's hardly surprising, considering that a lot of mothers clean pacifiers that fell on the ground by sucking them before handing them back to their infants.
Jessj958 19
It's actually really bad for a child if a parent cleans a pacifier that way or even sharing utensils. If the parent has a cavity or bad teeth, their saliva can carry all the bacteria to the child's mouth and cause the child to get cavities. Just some info to pass along lol :)

Sources? Babies get their immunity from mom, yes, but from ingesting her breast milk *not* her poop. The reason moms poop during delivery is simple physics, in that the shit chute runs parallel to the baby birther. When she pushes, the pressure of the baby pushes out whatever is in the colon. The only "poop transplants" I've ever heard of are still in experimentation stages, and on patients who need colonization with the normal gut flora, not for immune deficiencies. And those, when done, are transplanted by enema or colonic, not by eating the poo-poo.

Good thing I stopped halfway through that sentence #148.Almost thought I had to puke.

My comment was stupid. Dammit.
Cashtangoteam 10
Who of thunk feet are healthier than utensils? Looks like you learn something new every day. In all seriousness, OP that's gotta make you want to vomit.
DocBastard 40
If you're going to use the already-stupid-sounding "Who'd have thunk...", for ****'s sake don't make it sound even worse by misusing "of". Oh, and you left out the "would". You know what? Forget it. You're just an idiot.
isallwaysme 27
Who would've thought* Holy Jesus Christ that hurt my eyes to read that. Thunk? Honestly?
isallwaysme 27
And Doc, it would be "have" not "of" it should be "would have" not, "would of."
RocketNinjaFish 12
43: Doc already pointed that out. I think you misread his comment :) EDIT: Oops 46 beat me to it :) Sorry!
Sinkhole 26
isallwaysme, it seems like being a grammar Nazi doesn't help with reading comprehension.
laden_swallow09 35
Doc, isallwaysme, c'mon. He's intentionally being stupid, here. Believing that using your dirty, sweaty feet instead of clean, sterile utensils is healthier and more natural? He even said, "But seriously," Though it would've been better to say, "Who'da thunk it," anyway.
ManInTheMachine 20
I may not help with reading comprehension, Sinkhole, but there are a ton of other benefits! Like making friends, getting laid, nailing a job, getting a life...and, um... Yeah, doesn't help much with those, either.
ManInTheMachine 20
*It. Oops.
NicaLovesDisney 17
The "grammatical Nazi" is a hypocrite. Aside from the lack of reading comprehension, his whole bio on here is full of errors. Besides, I don't think anyone has successfully challenged DocBastard on this site before.

Actually Doc I believe he is referencing another FML. Noor said who of thunk and Pleonasm laughed and said it would soon be a meme. He would make sure of it. I could be mistaken but it's to coincidental to me to have been an accident. Dude was just hopping on the bandwagon.
kingkongsdong 5
It was the FML directly above this one and it was in reply to your comment. Number eleven if I'm not mistaken. Again I could be wrong that's just my take on this situation :0)
ManInTheMachine 20
kingkongsdong: Are you stupid? Noor was referencing the idiot in THIS comment section, not the other way around. Look at the comment times for each.
DocBastard 40
Noor and Pleonasm wrote those comments in response to this one. You have the order backwards.
MissMess 12
I've literally just lost two minutes of my life reading that argument. It's time to put the computer down and go outside.
bfsd42 20
Doc, do you get a kick out of going online and calling people imbeciles and idiots? That's just being childish and rude.
littlemsweirdo 12
And hilarious. Seriously, lighten up. A lot of morons on this site comment the stupidest things. We need People like Doc to ya know tell them what an idiot they are. :)

French wine tastes good when it's made by the old school method so OP's wife must be producing some pretty delicious mashed potatoes! I bet the mash has some lovely bits in it to give it a rustic taste.
HortonThelephant 15
You can't make potatoes without toes op
B1ackthesun 31
Crushing by foot has been pretty well obsolete for a long, LONG, time. Other than some back yard type makers, It's just one of those things done at festivals etc for show to impress people who know no better. Traditional crush usually means it was crushed in a basket press. Not to mention the alcohol created during the fermentation actually kills bacteria. Unless she is fermenting her mash into vodka it's just plain nasty no matter how you look at it.
ThatEmoBoy 26
in parts of spain and portugal some produces make it by crushing it with their feet, granted they clean their feet in a disinfectant
vewwe 20
I'd say he deserved it. If he didn't notice it before it means he probably never helps out his wife in the kitchen. Lazy bastard.
Serisent 26
Oh. Eww. I need to go throw up.

Way ahead of you.
picante72 24
She never made gravy to go with the potatoes. The apparent brown sauce was toe cheese, sweat, grime, and festering bacteria.
drkrissy1331 12
As a physician not much turns my stomach. I hate feet and your very detailed post made me gag! Great job!!
dontpanic_fml 32
Oh, dude...I must thumb you down in hopes that this comment gets buried to spare others
BlowinChronic 18
It didn't help me because I always get curious as to what the buried comments say...
dontpanic_fml 32
I do too, but at least this way people have a little warning rather than being cockslapped with the comment.

I take it you don't have a foot fetish

Ewwww.. Gross!! Next time you should notice what your wife does with your food.. I do not think only mashed potatoes she does like that..:)
