Today, I received a pair of earrings, a necklace, and some rings as a Christmas gift from my grandma. This would have been nice if I weren't a guy. This is her way of mocking me for wearing what she calls "girl colors", such as white. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML
Today, after buying my girlfriend a $700 bracelet for Christmas, I hinted that I wanted a pair of Oakleys. She told me I shouldn't get her anything and that I should expect even less. FML
Today, I gave my wife a $900 necklace as a special Christmas gift. She gave me a set of Star Wars pajamas. As it turns out, I was more excited to wear my gift than she was to wear hers. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a beautiful pair of very expensive diamond earrings, along with a card that read, "To my beautiful brown eyed Princess." My ears aren't pierced, and my eyes are green. FML
Today, I had a very long, complicated talk with my girlfriend. Apparently, since she isn't religious, she doesn't have to give anyone Christmas presents, and yet expects everyone to give her some. She then told me what I should get her. FML
Today, I was bombarded with pictures of my little sister's Christmas present. It was a huge engagement ring. I got broken up with in public on Christmas eve. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, my girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML
Today, I was taking my grandma shopping, when she pointed at a pair of thongs and told me if I don’t start wearing them I won’t get a man. I've been married for 4 years, gran. Thanks for paying attention. FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Don't waste this chance, OP. Now you can look like the pimp you've always wanted to be.

When the thought was to humiliate her grandson it doesn't count as much

Assuming they're valuable stones/metals on that jewelry set. Otherwise OP would be lucky to get a mcdonalds cheese burger meal after selling/returning them. Lol

You could always return them or even take them to a pawn shop if they're not cheap costume jewelry.

Or he could keep it as a gift to his girlfriend or mom or some other girl for their birthday or next Christmas.

I really think this site needs a catagory just for grandparents and/or the elderly.

Or just a "family" category in general.

You could wear them while you take her out to lunch and watch her squirm in her seat with embarassment.

He would need to wear a white suit with a nice salmon shirt underneath and some shiny white platforms. Also since when has white been "girly" I guess my white t shirts make me girly?

To me even pink isn't really a 'girl colour'. Or at least, I wouldn't think of a guy as girly for wearing pink - even ignoring my issues with gender stereotyping, I see blokey jock type guys in pink designer polo shirts ALL the time, it's like it's mandatory or something. So I can't even begin to think why white would be girly.

I know my rugby sevens team wears pink socks and switches from blue/white to pink/white polos for breast cancer awareness month. I also know a lot of pro football teams that do this. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?
