Today, I made my mom a mix CD for her car. It took me ages to find just the right songs that would be perfect for her. When I played it for her in the car, she took it out and threw it out of the window. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally got the courage to tell the guy I liked how I felt by making him a mix CD. Confident, I gave it to him. After class, I went to the trash can to throw some paper away. I saw my mix CD in the trash. FML
Today, I lost my job. I was so upset that I put in my favorite mix CD of all the songs that get me feeling better. While scanning for my favorite song, I hit the car in front of me. FML
Today, my mom gave me and my brothers each a cd of her recent photoshoot for her book. I found out later that my mom didn't know how to burn only SOME of the photos on the CD, and ended up burning all of the photos onto the CD. Some of the photos were provocative. FML
Today, I connected my phone to my car’s Bluetooth to listen to music. I didn’t realize my playlist had shuffled onto an old voice memo where I'd drunkenly recorded myself singing a heartfelt love song about pizza. It played as my boss got in for our carpool to a conference. I had to sit through the drive while she hummed along to “Cheese, you complete me.” FML
Today, I was in the car going to a concert with my family. I was listening to my iPod, when the wheel broke and I couldn't change the song. So for the rest of the trip, I was stuck either listening to my parents arguing, or Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin on repeat. FML
Today, I tried to create the perfect playlist for a road trip. I spent a long while curating it, but when I hit the shuffle button, it started playing a bunch of annoying nursery rhymes. Apparently, I'd accidentally merged my list with my nephew's. FML
Today, after an argument with my pianist girlfriend about how bad my favourite song would sound on the piano, she stormed out of the room crying, leaving behind a CD. It was the piano version of the song she'd made for me. FML
Today, I was riding in the backseat while my mom was driving. Noticing she was driving way over the speed limit, I opened a police siren app on my iPod to make her slow down. When she realized, she pulled over, kicked me out of the car and made me walk home. FML
Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." FML
Today, I had to share a car with my dad and stepmother. My stepmother managed to get hammered at lunch and spent the hour-long car trip drunkenly mistaking the heating controls for the radio. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Stop trying to be nice to your mother until she appreciates this kind of shit. Then move out. The end.

next time, spend some of those hours finding out what your mother actually likes, rather than just deciding what you think would be "perfect" for her. Throwing the CD out is extreme - but then your bad taste in music may well be that extreme.

Yeah, or she could just be appreciative that her daughter took the time to do something nice for her.

let me guess: you put together a CD of sex pistols and eminem for your mother so she wouldn't have to listen to all those Beethoven CD she keeps in the car? :o)

I made one for my dads car a couple of weeks ago. I made it for him to listen to on a 3 hour drive he was going on, to go to a family reunion thing. the next day when he got home I asked him with a smile on my face "Enjoy your cd?" he looked at me and said "No." and he's the one that picked out most of the songs..

After she heard the first three tracks were: "Cold Hard Bitch" by Jet "I'm a Bitch" by Meredith Brooks, and "The Bitch is Back" by Elton John, she got the message and didn't need to hear any more.

That's simply ungrateful and rude. She doesn't deserve your effort.
