Today, I spent $500 buying my lost cat back from a jerk who thought it was his. I get home and my mom tells me that she'd sold it to the same guy for $10 because she thought the cat was ruining my love life. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, I found my lost cat. As I was hooking it up to a leash to get it in my car, a man approached and asked what I was doing. His kids alerted him that there was a woman stealing their cat from their front lawn. It was not my cat. FML
Today, I found out that my mom bet my dad $100 that she could pay my boyfriend ten bucks to break up with me. She is now $90 richer. FML
Today, my boyfriend became convinced that I cheated on him, and broke up with me, saying he would "get me back." When I came home, I found his key on my counter and my cat missing. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I spent almost $500 adopting a senior cat and buying everything we needed to take care of him. He died 6 hours later. FML
Today, I got caught trying to steal my own cat back from my neighbor. FML
Today, I got a call at work. My cat somehow managed to lock my boyfriend and dog out of the house. The rental manager charged us $25 to open the door. The cat seems quite pleased with herself. FML
Today, I got my dog back from my aunt. Rather than taking him to an actual groomer, I gave him to my aunt because she needed a few extra bucks. My generosity lost me $35, and gave my dog ticks and a bad haircut. FML
Today, my mom accused my cat of being a "manipulator", and said that we should get rid of him. FML
Today, I called my ex-girlfriend to see if she would meet up with me so I could give her money to pay off the rest of the TV we had on layaway before we broke up. Turns out she cancelled it and took all the money I put into it. I put $500 down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your mom sold pussy for 10$

Don't ask for $500 back from your mother. Instead, pay her back with the same coin, and sell her something that she owns and loves for an extremely low price.

67- That never fixes anything, I mean she's still living with her mom so that's the last person you'd want to piss off.

In order words, she implied that you should have used the $500 to buy yourself a hooker.

50- maybe because it's her pet, u idiot! not just some random animal

Nobody's wondering why she would spend $500 on the cat

Actually only 490.

Why not do both?

#23 - The OP's mother probably thought that any potential boyfriend might get turned off by it. Some guys don't want to deal with a chick and their crazy cat. I don't like cats enough to date someone with one. Thankfully I don't have to worry about that. My wife and I have 3 dogs, and one of them can't stand cats.

Two words: Unconditional Love. The kind that doesn't judge you on your love life or sell what's important to you. Worth more than all the money in the world.

Perhaps 490 I mean idk!

I hate cats. I'd dump a gal if she wouldn't get rid of her cat(s).

Pet I've had and loved for a long time (or even just before the relationship started) > new relationship. Quite a few people feel the same way, so I hope you only date people who don't have pets. And, as far as it goes for the other side, if you really want to be with someone, you'll at least tolerate their pets. My partner is allergic to my cat. Solution? Claritin, simple as that.

when you spend $500 on it! I would have just called the cops (smarts)

why didn't you confront your mom about it first?

"Hey mom, my cat is missing, and I have this hunch that just maybe you think he/she was ruining my love life. So I'm pretty sure you sold them to a stranger, correct me if I'm wrong though, it's just a hunch."
worldcupcheer17 0
no I was actually just thinking he should tell his mom his cat is missing and see if she knew where he was or something.

...you assume this wasnt done? or that the mother would just nonchalantly go "oh yeah, i sold your cat for 10 bucks."?
fruitschinpo 0

a_nutritionist 10

No he didn't. His mom sold it after he bought it back.

If you'd spend $500 on a cat, that probably explains why you can't get any. You should be happy your mom is looking out for you

I'd spent $500 to get my cat. It's not that it's ruining anything. He's just been there for 8 years and I love my cat very much. It's like a really good friend, who wont betray you.

Agreed! Pets are like family members. :)

No I agree with him if you wanna get some get a manly pet like a dog not an animal that if your a guy makes you look like a lonely cat woman

If you feel emasculated by certain animals I feel sorry for you.

Not to mention: where in the FML does it say that the OP is a woman? There are plenty of men who love their cats, just as women do.

if you cant afford to spend 500 dollars on your cat, then your poverty is your own issue, dont go judging everyone else for having jobs.

Thats when you sell her car saying it's interfering with her staying in the kitchen and making sandwiches.

I don't say that often, but this is an epic comment ^^

or sell the house and say she needs to get in touch with nature.
rattusrattus 19
Sell her bed. Tell her its exacerbating her back problems. Sell her TV. Tell her she needs more exercise. Sell her kitchen. Tell her she needs to eat less. Sell her parakeet, tell her its stunting her social skills. A love life isn't that important, and pets are generally good judges of future partners anyway.

If you sell the kitchen that's like selling her soul? And way to take the joke too far.

If you sell the kitchen, where is she supposed to make the sandwiches?

Selling kitchen=nowhere to make sandwiches.
