Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Surprise!
Today, I flew home early from a two-month trip to Europe to surprise my boyfriend on his birthday. When I got to his house with a home baked cake from scratch and a quilt with silk-screened pictures from my trip, his roommate answered the door and said, "Oh sorry, he's out with his girlfriend." FML
Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML
Today, I got back from my daughter's flat in Scotland. I got a flight there yesterday morning to surprise her on her 21st birthday. Nobody told her I was coming. When I got there, it turned out she decided to get a plane to London to surprise me. £200 on flights, and I didn't even get to see her. FML
Today, I wanted to surprise my long distance girlfriend by flying to her unannounced. When I arrived at her house, her family tells me that she herself boarded an unannounced flight to where I lived hours ago. Surprise. FML
Today, I flew into New Zealand to surprise my girlfriend on her trip. In the New Zealand Airport I received a text message saying she wanted to break up with me. I live in Michigan and just spent $1,500 for this romantic surprise. FML
Treat yourself
Today, my fiancée bought me a luxury getaway to the Maldives, complete with a five-star hotel and first-class plane tickets. Too bad she used my credit card, with all the money I was saving for our wedding. FML
Cheap-ass lying bro-bro!
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, after working another double shift because I want to buy my boyfriend a really expensive anniversary present, I get to his apartment to find him calculating in how many paychecks he'll be able to afford a Caribbean getaway. For himself. FML
You ******* idiot
Today, I spent 900 dollars on a ticket for my boyfriend to visit me and he missed the flight. FML
The cat's out of the bag
Today, my partner's mother and I had been planning a little surprise get-together for his birthday. A surprise weeks in the making was ruined by my dad asking, "Aren't you supposed to be going to (his parent's town name) this afternoon?" in front of him. Thanks dad. FML

Well at least both of you can go now. :) @4 actually, since I am partially Irish I would like to go. Plus, my grandmother has been and she thought it was beautiful. Plus, you can kiss the blarney stone. :D

The blarney stone is just down the road from me =D But I havnet kissed it...yet anyways

I dunno if I'd wanna kiss the Blarney Stone...I read an article where it was named one of the germiest attractions because everybody kisses it lol. And that's not meant to insult Ireland in any way. Neither my boyfriend nor I are Irish but we'd both LOVE to go to Ireland, mostly because we've heard it is beautiful :) (Plus I love Frank McCourt, RIP)

Partially Irish as in your great great grandmother once got sneezed on by a leprechaun?

I've heard locals piss on it.

What is this blarney stone business? The problem with being Irish is you're never a tourist here... I don't even know the story... 😂😂

If you are referring to me, I am really Irish. I'm not just saying it because it's cool. I've done research about my family. My grandfather actually came to America from Ireland because he was adopted. My apologies if you weren't speaking to me though.

do the research, a LOT of americans do come from Irish descent.

nooooooo, that doesn't make u irish, it makes u related to someone who came from ireland, big difference.

Im not sure if your talking to me but I wasnt talking to you, Im talking about people who say stuff like "Oh ya Im Irish and a quarter spanish and german and african." Its just like your not Irish so.

Still makes them American though, with Irish relations. My great grandfather came from England but that doesn't mean I'm English. I'm not trying to get bad at anybody or say your not Irish if you are, just personally I think theres a difference between being Irish and having a relative from there. And its annoying me that so many people are saying why would you wanna go to Ireland, if you haven't been here shut up and don't believe the stereotypes.

Actually, just one Irish grandparent can qualify you to become a citizen and get a passport.

So...they have irish blood, part of their famiy is irish..but because it's not full blood, that means they aren't? I call bullshit.
withahtrentuh 0
Well, I meant I have Irish blood within me. I know I'm not from Ireland. :) I'm just saying it would be nice to visit the place of my ancestors. My apologies for the confusion. I never seem to word things right. Heh heh

Oh really?! Jesus, I apologize so. I thought you had to move her and take like a citizens test like you have to do for America.
Irish_mess 0
I get the feeling people think Im getting angry, :L. I dont mean to sound that way if I do, and Im in no way saying I dislike Americans. Jesus Im planing on moving there :L Warped tour for sho haha. Ireland is a nice place, if you get over the rain that is and the accents. I never noticed how strong they were till I saw Colin Farrell in a movie with non Irish people. Woah, Its some weird accent. :L You should defo come here, every one loves the Irish ;)

Nope if you are not from the state, you need to have at least 1 Irish parent and their full birth certificate. If you want to have an Irish passport and you don't have an Irish parent you need to move there and claim citizenship. If you were born in Ireland you can also get one obviously. I looked into it when deciding whether to get a British or Irish passport. Went for the British as this is where I was born and live, so I am British not Irish. But the option was there because of my Mum.

Eat shit loser, don't hate on us "yanks." Go piss off why don't you.
kwaobia 0
That means u r ethnically Irish but that DOES NOT make you Irish; and not even, maybe your dad can say he is ethnically Irish, u just have Irish ancestry. I hate when people call themselves something because some distant relative came from there... is like where people from Latin America say they are for example Mexican, meaning their grandfather was Mexican, BUT they do not speak proper Spanish and they have never even been there, THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU MEXICAN!

That's really ****** up, does that mean you can't get citenship if you have no irish relatives no matter what?

Your pride in where you were born makes me sick. What exactly are you so proud of again? A patch of land on this planet that apparantly noone else is allowed to claim any type of connection to? You are just a human being like the rest of us, unlike the rest of us, you are a disgrace to humanity.

Being patriotic is not a problem. We all do it a bit. It's really positive. It gets you involved in running the country and being nice to others etc.

I don't think I am irish I do have a small bit of Irish in me but I am actually Scottish my dad is from there my mom is from America I have dual citizenship for both places. I have an obsession with Ireland though.

Americans are welcome as long as they behave. Don't punch our paintings or break our statues and stay as long as you like. Drink our beer pump your money into our economy. Why would we not want "yanks"? If we're going for who we have a lot of I'd say Spanish, Italian, Brazilian, Philopeno or Indian would win, but they're always welcome.
