Today, I got a call from my roommate's mother, asking me to hide her flip flops so she couldn't wear them out in sub-zero temperatures. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was so cold that I had to put slippers over my slippers. FML
Today, I found out my dad has been using the flip-flops I wear in the shower. The reason I wear them is to prevent myself from getting his nasty foot fungus. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML
Today, my roommate texted me and warned me to be careful on the stairs leading to our place because they were icy. I got the message. After I fell down an entire flight of stone stairs. FML
Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, thanks to a wonderful -40°F wind chill (I'm in the Midwest), I woke up this morning to a freezing cold house. I had to wear my shoes, a coat, and gloves. Indoors. For the whole morning and most of the afternoon. FML
Today, my daughter's school called to inform me that I needed to bring her some sneakers. Not feeling like driving the 15 minutes to her school, I told them I was away from town. Then I realized I was on my house phone. FML
Today, my roommate and I got into a heated argument over whether people should wear shoes inside the apartment. It escalated so badly that we now have masking tape dividing the floor into “shoe zones” and “clean zones” like a low-budget international border. Guests have started asking for instructions before entering. FML
Today, I was daydreaming in bed when my phone rang from across the room. I scrambled out of my covers, tripped over a pair of boots I had by the bed, and slipped on some jeans laying on the floor. Luckily, I answered my phone in time, but only to have my mom tell me to clean my room before she got home. FML
Today, I had to explain to my 65-year-old mother that it is inappropriate for her to walk around in front of me in her underwear. Her response? "Too bad." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

My mum wears sandals all year round, and when it gets colder she wears socks with them. She went outside in the snow to feed the birds and complained her feet got wet and cold. Perhaps your roommate is just like that.

Who would want to wear flip flops then anyways? That's a bit crazy. What I want to know is if you really hid them.

Me I would. Your feet would freeze so much, but then when you come back in and they warm, up it feels beautiful. It takes a lot to experience nice things like that.

My dad always wears socks with sandals in the snow because he thinks they're stylish

Flip flops and sandals... pffft. In Australia the mother would be asking OP to hide the thongs.

That's good parenting at least. If it were me, my mom would ask you to hide my shorts.

Lol I still don't get why someone would do that. I'd think their feet would be cold haha.

Kind of cold that the mom thinks her kin would wear flip flops in ice. I usually don't wear shoes unless I have to either though...

Well she has lived with her daughter before, just saying she probably knows she does stuff like that.

So did you do it?

It's better than wearing wet shoes :'D Athlete's foot or water filled freakin' boats versus shoes that don't require Olympian strength to remove when they get wet? The only downside is if you aren't impervious to the cold or the lack of traction.
