Today, I tried to be kind to animals and get my dad to buy cage-free eggs. When I told him it was dollar more, he started yelling and making a scene in the middle of the store, saying that chickens are ugly and they deserve to suffer. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was denounced for being a terrible person, because my family raises chickens, some of which we eat. I was then told how cruel I am for "killing innocent birds" and that "good" people buy their meat from the supermarket. FML
Today, as I fed my dog his dinner of chicken offal, a drumstick, a wing, a mackerel, and a raw egg, my dad bitched and moaned that I waste money feeding him meat instead of just buying the cheapest kibble at the store. FML
Today, I argued with my roommate about which eggs to buy: organic, pasture-raised, free-range, or AI-verified climate-positive. We settled on whatever was cheapest. They were $9. FML
Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML
Today, my dad got into an argument with the cashier about how overpriced the scented tampons were. FML
Today, I was in a store with my dad. He completely lost his temper and began yelling at the store owners. For some reason, he then removed his shirt in protest. FML
Today, my dad forced me to leave my empty shopping cart in the middle of a store, rather than return it to the corral. My dad’s word is law, and all I can think about is how much of an asshole I am. FML
Today, my son asked for candy at a supermarket checkout. I said no. He laid on the floor and began screaming as if I'd killed his pet rabbit. Other parents nodded at me in silent sympathy, while strangers judged me with their glares. I bought the candy. He still screamed. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket to get some Easter gifts for my kids. At the register, I was verbally abused to the point of tears by the cashier, for having way too many items for the 12 items or less lane. I had 13. FML

let me just say im completely against animal cruelty, but thats so funny, and I can say from personal experience that chickens are cute when they are babys, then they grow up to be ugly and crap everywhere when you dont put them in cages, but my family doesnt cage our chickens so no internet hate please(:

housing chickens IN cages is actually a lot safer for the chickens because they cnt then attack n kill each other in a panic for no reason. not that it matters rlly theyre all living a shitty life anyway

Chickens don't just randomly attack and kill each other.

Yeah, you're on your own there, can't help the chicken on someone else's salary.

Well, if you are financially strapped then you should look at your costs.

Your dad is a stupid insensitive asshole! I'd be embarrased to be related to something like that.

Just because you buy cage free eggs doesn't mean the chickens exploited in cages aren't there anymore. You buying cage free eggs doesn't actually mean you're kind to animals. It just means you're buying produce from a group of animals that are treated kindly. Those are 2 different things.
