Today, I was eating dinner with my family. My parents didn't want me to hear what they were talking about so they decided they would spell out the words so I wouldn't understand. I didn't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while riding on the car with my family, I put on my headphones and pretended to be listening to music and when my parents talked to me, I pretended I couldn't hear them. They took this opportunity to discuss how fat I was and how I can't hold down a boyfriend. They were laughing as well. FML
Today, I actually had to spell out to my parents that if you don't want someone to repeat the same thing several times, you have to acknowledge that you're listening to them. I've had several occasions where I said something to them 3-5 times, thinking they weren't listening, but then they snapped, "WE HEARD YOU!" FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, my parents heard me leaving my room at 2 am, and freaked out because they thought I was sneaking out. I was too embarrassed to tell them that I was getting food instead of having a social life. FML
Today, I accidentally belched at the dinner table. At age 22, I got sent to my room with no dessert by my parents. FML
Today, I went to a fancy restaurant and couldn't pronounce any of the menu items. FML
Today, as I woke up early to do my physics homework, I heard my parents talk about how big a disappointment I am for them. They discussed how stupid, immature and how big a burden I was. They knew I was listening. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Today, my roommate shouted his entire part of the conversation at the dinner table. He refuses to get his hearing checked, nor lower his voice, so now my ears hurt for the rest of the evening. FML
Today, I said a few words to my mom that happened to be similar to something offensive, and she misheard. I tried to tell her, but she was so angry that she assumed I was saying more offensive things. Now she is punishing everybody in the house, and I’m not allowed to speak to her. FML

Clearly everyone here is either in the second grade or didn't pay attention in high school. Has anybody heard of the 3 learning styles?? There are auditory learners (ones who learn best by listening to information, visual learners (ones who learn best by seeing information), and kinaesthetic learners (ones who learn best with a hands-on approach). Clearly the OP is not an auditory learners, and neither am I. I'm a visual learner. If the OP's parents spelt many words quickly, her brain may not have had time to piece the letters together in time, while the parents kept spelling, resulting in the OP missing letters or words and therefore not understanding them. I know it takes me a second to put the letters together when someone spells it because I can't see it. Many of you may find this hard to understand (sorry for the information overload, I'll get you some ice for that headache) but that is probably because (as I mentioned before), you are either in second grade and haven't learned this yet, or are just too stupid :) I think I'll chose the latter.

Cut OP some slack, he could be dyslexic, and can't help it. I struggle to understand a word when someone spells it out, but I can when it is written down. So before you have a go at someone, try and think about the circumstances
