Today, I was at my girlfriend's house watching a home makeover show with her and her mom. The show's host had a giant portrait of himself on his wall and then I said, "I hate it when people do that, it's so stupid." Her mom stared at me and pointed to the portrait of my girlfriend on the wall. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, my parents dropped by my new house, and my mother offered to tidy up for me while I was out. After they left, I noticed that her "tidying up" included throwing out all the pictures of my girlfriend and replacing them with pictures of herself. FML
Today, my wife and I were out with another couple we're friends with. When we went back to their house, we looked at old pictures. They showed us a great picture, and I said, "It would've been a lot better if that fat chick didn't ruin it in the background." It was the woman from the couple. FML
Today, I spent the whole night and day painting a portrait of my girlfriend. Being proud of it, I sent it to her hoping she would appreciate it. I spent hours working on that picture only for her to reply with, "That's not me, is it?" FML
Today, my family was cleaning out our basement when I noticed an empty wall. I asked my grandma if I could put a picture up. She replied, "I don't want your ugly drawings on the wall". I wasn't talking about my drawings. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me to his house and introduced me to his parents. He also showed me around his bedroom. I think he forgot to remove the dartboard on his wall, taped to which was a swiss-cheesed printout of one of my Facebook photos. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's mom's house for the first time. They had a cook-out so I got to meet his whole entire family. I went into the kitchen to find a huge picture of his ex-girlfriend on his mom's fridge. FML
Today, I was in a clothing store with my girlfriend. I saw the ugliest hat ever on a hat shelf, tried it on and said to my girlfriend, "Look at this ugly hat, it's absolutely horrible. It's even dirty." An old woman stood next to me said, "Well no wonder it's ugly, it's mine." FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. The first thing my dad did was comment that given how pretty she looked in our photos, and compared to how she looks in real life, she's amazing at using Photoshop. FML
Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. I presented her with an oil painting of her that I'd been working on for over a month, and she started to cry. I thought it was because she liked it, until she asked if she really looks that ugly and disproportionate in real life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

this could've been easily solved by saying 'i'm joking'. this solves most problems when chicks give you that look.

First? Wow I still can't believe I can actually get a first... And that's not the mother's portrait, it's her daughters. You can play it off.

Exactly, theres a difference. Having a giant picture of your self screams "LOOK AT ME!!! Aren't I amazing? Aren't I tacky and full of myself???" But having a picture of your beloved daughter isn't nearly as bad.

Perhaps it's too soon to be revealing opinions...It's not a bad thing that it did so, but perhaps you shoulda kept it under wraps. I once said that a BA in anything was about as useless as any award you get in Elementary school, and my new girlfriend said "Thanks" before walking away. Apparently, she was getting a BA in History. It's not really all that devastating since that's really how I feel, but in hindsight, I coulda held such info in a bit longer. *waits for PM from random BA major expressing his or her anger towards me.*

For one thing, I'll agree with #21, a BA is next to worthless and to #12, where does it say a picture, because OP clearly said a potrait of the daughter

Hey, what's wrong with people having their own portraits?! They're the perfect doodle material (you can draw mustaches, genitals, you name it!).

I see two problems with that. One: The tone in which he said that he hated it was probably too strong for them to easily believe he was actually kidding. Two: Saying "I'm joking" only AFTER you saw her portrait on the wall decreases your credibility. On another note. How long has she been your girlfriend for you to not have noticed that before? Or did you just forget?

So why can't OP have an opinion, really? I mean if he thinks it's stupid, he thinks it's stupid. End of story. He's within his rights to have an opinion.

well, it's not her portrait, so it's fine. tons of people have portraits of their kids on the walls. so you can play it off.

I agree with you too, OP. Don't feel bad. It *is* stupid.

YDI for blabbing. Likewise, YDI for having a facetious, egotistical girlfriend (unless said "portrait" was a painting that she herself or a friend made).

I'm on your side, that is ******* ridiculous.

Maybe the mom was just trying to warn you that your girlfriend is stupid.

Well, to start, I agree with you. I don't think you did anything wrong though...because you'd assume that the picture of your girlfriend would have been her mom's idea & for her sake. Don't parents alsmost always have pictures of their kids everywhere? Yeah.
