Today, I got flowers sent to my work, I happily opened them in front of my co-workers thinking they were from my crush, I open the card to see "Love you, from mom". My mother thinks my love life is so pathetic, thats she needs to send me flowers to cheer me up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was in a terrific mood after finding a bouquet of beautiful flowers on my doorstep when I came home. That is, until I recognised the handwriting of my "secret admirer" was the same as my mother's. FML
Today, my Mom came to pay me a short visit at college. She handed me some flowers, which were a Valentine's Day gift, because she "figured I wouldn't be getting any from anyone else this year." FML
Today, I bought some flowers. As I was checking out, the cashier asked, "Aww, these for your mom? How sweet." I responded they were for a girl I liked. She laughed and said, "Sorry…" FML
Today, I got flowers from a secret admirer. Turns out they were from my sister's in-laws who own a flower shop. Apparently, everyone feels bad that I'm single and they are convinced I'm gonna die alone. FML
Today, I received gorgeous orchids from my long distance boyfriend. I was excited about it and told my parents. They still are convinced I have no boyfriend and I mailed the flowers to myself. FML
Today, I received a bunch of flowers from my 'lover'. This would be fine, except that I don't have a lover, and my boyfriend now thinks I'm cheating. FML
Today, I sent a love letter I'd written meant for my crush to a friend so she could evaluate my prose before I actually sent it to him. For some reason, my emotions got the best of me, and I mistakenly CC'd my mom. She replied with three crying-with-laughter emojis. FML
Today, I resorted to buying some expensive flowers and sending them to my boss anonymously with a mysterious love letter, just to get her to lighten the hell up and stop constantly harassing and berating me over every little thing. FML
Today, I arranged to have some flowers delivered at work for Valentine's Day so that my colleagues will think someone likes me. FML
Today, after spending $120 to have a bouquet of flowers delivered to my mom, she called to complain that I had forgotten about her for Mother's day, but also praise my sister for apparently receiving my flowers I sent at the door and passing them off as hers. FML

^This. So you think your life sucks because your mom cares enough to give you flowers? Oh man I had this whole thing wrong...

What's wrong with flowers from your mom? At least she loves you. You can't know for sure it's because she pities you. Some people's mothers hate them. Be glad she doesn't.

33 is right. Today, my daughterwas bitching at me the whole day because I gave her flowers. FML

why does everyone just suddenly assume when they get a present it's from their crush?atleast she cares enough to give you flowers on valintines day how does that mean that she thinks you need flowers cause your love life sucks she was trying to express her love for her child.

Agreed # 33 OP, that was actually pretty thoughtful of your mother. Get over yourself. I hope you at least had the decency to stop the pity party long enough to thank her.

boo hoo for you. it must be horrible having such a woman for a mother...someone who spent the time and money to try to brighten your day. I'm sure she is proud of the ungrateful knob she has raised. when your mom is dead and gone, you'll look back on this random act of kindness that she performed, and you will realize what a total jerk you are.

My mom always does stuff like that. She's amazing :) Why the hell would you think it was a bad thing? Haha, I used to call my mom every Valentine's Day after I moved out and ask her why there wasn't a box full of See's chocolates at the bottom of my bed, lol. You, ma'am, need to lighten up!

I'm tempted to hit the you deserve it button but here that'd be a good thing b.c it'd mean you'd deserve the flowers but you don't b.c youre complaining about it....

ya how is that an fyl. she showed she cared about you don't be so ungrateful

Even if that's why she sent them, it seems she's right. No wonder she's the only one who sent you flowers. I'm rather surprised she even bothered. And why would you think that just because you like someone, they like you? Also, how old are you that you still have crushes? Ungrateful harpy.

You should really feel lucky to have such a sweet mom. She was only making sure that you didn't feel left out during Valentine's Day... Sucks for you if you told your co-workers that the bouquet was from your crush before actually reading the card.

Maybe she sent you flowers because, oh, I don't know... she loves you!?! Did you ever think of it that way instead of wallowing in self-pity that you didn't get flowers from your crush?

You ungrateful little bitch. what did your mom do to deserve you? You should pay your mom back for the flowers.
