Today, I was driving home from swim practice with my mom. I glanced over and saw my brother's hot friend, who I've been secretly in love with forever. He waved to me, and excitedly I waved back. I then heard my mom say, "You're gonna die when you see how bad you look right now." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was talking to a swimmer I just met. I saw a cute guy and whispered to her, "That guy is hot." She asked "Who?" I pointed at him. She turned to see him, then turned back to me and said "Ew, that's my brother." She went to him, whispered something. He turned around to see me and said, "EW." FML
Today, my mom drove me to football practice. On the way she told me that she thought I was gay and that my friend was my lover. After 15 agonizing minutes of this, we get to my practice only to be greeted by my shirtless friend wearing a pink bandana saying, "Man, you hit me hard last night." FML
Today, the guy I've secretly been in love with for years told me how hot my brother is. FML
Today, I got in the car with my brother, who drives all the time with his eyes glued to his phone. We stopped at a red light, it turned green. I noticed that he was still looking down and told him the car ahead was moving. I then got screamed at, saying how I'm always right, how my friends suck, and how he wished I was dead. FML
Today, I was getting picked up by my dad after I had been swimming. I saw his car, so I walked over to it, got in and started talking about how I'd seen my brother. It wasn't until after I had put my seat belt on that I realized I was talking to a complete stranger. FML
Today, I drove across two states to see my brother, who's had a history of heart problems. My mother had sent me a long e-mail saying he was on his death bed and wanted to talk to me to "get his affairs in order." When I arrived worriedly, he was fine. My mother guilt-tripped me to come visit. FML
Today, I was at Starbucks after having a rough day. The old man beside me was talking to his friend. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him point at me and say, "See that beautiful girl over there?" Flattered, I listened closer… until he finished his statement with, "She's gonna die." FML
Today, my mom walked into the bathroom while I was taking a pic to send to my long-distance boyfriend. She then told me I would go to hell for flaunting myself at guys. I was fully clothed, sending a pic to see if he liked my new haircut. That and I'm 21. FML
Today, my best friend told me he had a crush on someone in my house. I got excited, but he told me it was my mom. FML
Today, I was shopping with my dad and I saw one of my guy friends, so we waved and smiled at each other. My dad clearly thought his wave was too "romantic", because he shouted at him, "Touch her, and I'll kill you." FML

its okay i am a swimmer too and i always look bad after practice, but after a while you get used to it. always look ur best before practice so ppl won't notice you how bad it is after practice

who cares, he doesn't! usually, guys like girls who look nice sometimes, but aren't afraid to like.. wear no make up during swim practice or something.. i'd feel proudd! the only minor concern in this situation is your mom's rude comment..

Damn. My mom would say something like that too although she's a good parent. I'm sorry! =(

You go to swim practice? Then you are probably pretty hot. And he waved first, which means you probably have a shot too. Don't let your mom get you down (that's just a general life lesson)!

Awww. On the bright side, doesn't seem like he cared much. :)

Wow, that's horrible! Why is it mothers have that tendancy to be TOTALLY INSANE and vindictive/awful? I'm sorry, but if it's any condolence, my step-mother said things of that nature too. She recently apologized, as she had mental problems and is now on meds. Someone needs to cure that stuff. =/

Yeah, that was jerkish of your mom. No one looks great after swimming. If he waved to you, who cares! :]
