Today, I made chicken noodle soup for the girl I've been seeing to help her get over her cold. From scratch. Everything fresh save for the canned chicken stock. It took an hour in preparation and half an hour to take the bus to her place. Her first words? The celery's not cooked enough. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML
Today, I lovingly simmered a chicken carcass, vegetables and spices to make soup. Two hours it took. After all that, I mindlessly strained out the chicken bones and let the soup pour straight down the sink. FML
Today, I asked the girl I’m seeing to make me some chicken soup because I was sick. She replied, “If you’re sick, go to the doctor. I’m not doing wifey shit if you’re not gonna make me a wife, let alone a girlfriend.” FML
Today, I was miserable with a cold. So I ordered soup and noodles from a new Chinese restaurant. Now I am miserable with a cold and food poisoning. FML
Today, getting tired of my usual turkey/tuna salad/chicken sandwiches, I made a pot of soup to take to work for lunch. My girlfriend woke up in the middle of the night to forage for snacks, spilled it all over the floor, and woke me up to clean it. FML
Today, I made a healthy, delicious dinner. My girlfriend picked at it until it went cold, then stuck it in the fridge. Later, she devoured a giant bowl of sugary cereal, then complained all night that her stomach hurt. This happens a lot. FML
Today, I was "that idiot" who spent ages making a soup stock from meat and vegetables, but then while separating it forgot to put a pan under the strainer, so I poured the finished stock down the sink, leaving me with only the boiled meat and veg sat sadly in the strainer. Takeaway chinese for tea, then. FML
Today, I was in bed sick from pneumonia. I asked my boyfriend to nuke a can of soup for me. He said "in a sec, let me finish this game" and continued to play on his Xbox for an hour. Starving, I crawled out to make soup. When I sat down to eat, he paused the game and asked "you didn't make me any?" FML
Today, I spent all day carefully preparing a wonderful homemade beef and vegetable stew from scratch. Close to dinner time, I tasted it and it was inedibly salty. Confused, my horrifically bratty stepdaughter then laughed and admitted she poured salt in it because it wasn’t what she wanted for dinner. FML
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML

Cook the celery through next time- undercooked celery is disgusting and it's insulting that you put that in her soup.

If that's actually true that would mean she would have had to let you in without speaking to you. Somehow I doubt those were her first words. Still, next time you should taste it before giving it to her.

You're trying too hard. If a guy did that for me I'd laugh in his face for being such a pansy. Grow some balls champ. Canned soup probably tastes better anyway.

...xSommerx? Quit cooking for the sonofabitch. Seriously. If he wants to eat, make HIM cook. Use that time to do something you enjoy.

what she probably meant to say was... Why the hell are you over here. Guys who do shit like that are gonna turn out to be whiney little bitches. She was probably trying to toughen you up. Take the hint. Campbells would have been good enough man.

If you used a can of chicken stock, you didn't make chicken noodle soup from scratch. You chopped up veggies and boiled them in someone else's chicken soup. And you apparently didn't even do that right.

Wow OP, that was really sweet. She's a bitch for picking at that tiny little thing, it's the thought that counts! I've never had a guy make ME homemade soup! and #77 wow, I can't believe you put up with that! Your man sounds really unreasonable, why don't you tell him to make his own damn dinner? If my guy did that I'd be so angry I'd probably throw it all in his face and tell him to **** himself, HE can make dinner from now on! Luckily he knows better, lol.
