Today, I took my grandma to the hospital to visit her estranged husband who she hasn't seen in years. After a thoroughly disasterous visit, we're waiting in the carpark and my gran strokes my face and tells me I have a lot of facial hair. I thought she was going to thank me. And I'm a girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to pay my grandma a visit. She called the cops because she didn't recognize me and thought I was a robber. FML
Today, I had to cancel my plans to go see my grandma, because I wasn't feeling too well. I called her to apologize, but she had trouble remembering who I was. When I told her my name, she said "Oh, the FAT one." Yes grandma, the fat one. FML
Today, I went to the gym with my grandma. In the span of an hour, she was hit on more than I ever have been in my life. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML
Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. FML
Today, I shaved my pubes while staying at my senile grandma's place. I guess I didn't clean up properly, because she found some hair and insisted someone must have broken in while we were out and used the shower. I had to play along to spare myself embarrassment. FML
Today, I brought my best friend to my uncle's birthday party. We were having a great time until my grandmother walked up to us and said to me, "You sure have a nice looking boyfriend." My friend is a girl. She has cancer and lost all of her hair due to chemotherapy. FML
Today, I spent all day at the hospital with my grandma for some tests. When I drove her back home she decided to thank me with $50. Knowing she is unemployed, I told her I couldn't take a whole $50. She replied with "Ungrateful, just like your mother", then took the money and left. FML
Today, being the nice grandchild that I am, I went to visit my grandmother. She didn't recognise who I was. I thought she was joking. She later called the police as, "Some weirdo had walked into her house." I'm that weirdo; she wasn't joking. FML
Today, I saw an old friend while out and about. Since I don't leave the house very often, my friend was surprised to see me in person. He jokingly asked if someone was dying, and I cried in response. I was in fact going to the hospital to say goodbye to my grandma. FML

She sounds like my mother. She has things to pick at, even if they don't always make sense or have a purpose. I'd just be happy that she didn't start buying you gift cards to spas to fix the problem or suggest products. Totally embarrassing though. Had you noticed this before she mentioned it though?

There could be loads of ways around this. For example. You could actually have a beard. That's kinda weird, but wax it, no deal. You could have a lot of lanugo hair on your face, in which case, you should gain weight. Or your grandma could indeed have been seeing things. Sucks to be you, FYL.

Probably reminded her of her estranged husband. Wax much?

Honestly, why are so many people jumping to conclusions, I doubt this girl had anymore hair on her face than anyother women. If it was bad, I'm sure she would have taken care of it by now (by the way, for all you smarty pants suggesting wax or razer- both make it worse: waxing stretches and irritates the skin, and razoring makes the hair come back thicker- nice). I'm sorry you had a cruddy day, it sounded tough to have to visite a grandfather you have not seen in years, have a horrible meeting, and than get in the car only for your grandmother to make a unprovoked comment. I doubt she really meant it, she probably said it in the moment because she was upset about what happened in the hospital, we all tend to say things we don't mean when we are hurt. Don't take it personally.

#18 I don't know what kind of wax you use, but the kind my gf uses neither stretches or irritates her skin. Or any other girl i know for that matter YDI for having facial hair, that's super nasty or FYL if your grandma is crazy and you don't
