Today, I was taking a selfie. My grandma saw me, then after smirking to herself, she went and told my parents that I was "doing that sexting thing". They believed her and grounded me, even after I showed that all my photos and sent messages were totally innocent. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I briefly left my laptop while I went to use the toilet. When I came back, I found "I" had posted on Facebook, calling my mom a "stupid cunt who should just stay in the kitchen." The only other person home at the time was my grandpa. She didn't believe it, and permanently grounded me. FML
Today, my mom took my cell to work with her. When she got home later, she scolded me for not answering her calls. When I pointed out that she'd taken it, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, my grandma posted an embarrassing childhood photo on my school's events page. I told her everyone could see it, and asked if she could take it down. She freaked and commented on it, apologizing for posting it. Now I feel guilty for embarrassing her, and it's still on the page. FML
Today, I'm grounded for literally the whole summer because my parents found out that I was still seeing my grandma behind their backs, even though they banned her from ever seeing us again after she spanked my sister. 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, I checked my Facebook to find I had been tagged in a bunch of photos from a party I had attended last night. On each picture I had a comment from my mom saying, "You're grounded." FML
Today, I was trying to teach my Aunt and Gran to use Google drive to share and upload pictures, when I scrolled past an image of my… yep. I didn't have a mirror when the pic was taken and I was concerned about a sore. Now they just think I'm a whore. FML
Today, I was teaching my grandma how to use her new tablet. After explaining and setting everything up, I left her alone to check her email. When I came back, she'd somehow "mistakenly" sent an email to our entire family with the subject line "Help! My grandson thinks I'm a dipshit and has kidnapped me!" FML
Today, I sent my grandfather a picture of me because he hasn't seen me in years. I guess I should wear makeup next time, because he sent back a heavily photoshopped and cropped version and told me how beautiful I look. FML
Today, a kid from school came to my house. He asked my dad if I was at home, because we were "planning a bit of the old, you know…" and made an obscene gesture. Now I'm grounded for a month, and no matter what I say, my dad won't believe that I've never even spoken to the kid before. FML

OP believes her grandma is an old hag, and wishes death upon her. Pretty straightforward, really.

My grandmother used to do the same thing to me and my siblings. She'd tell our parents we did things we didn't do, and they always believed her because she was the adult. The worst part is that she lived with us, so we could never get away from her abuse. And yes, we've all three admitted to one another to wishing she would just die. It's not something we're proud of, but you can't help how you feel about someone. When someone deliberately makes your life miserable, even turning your own parents against you, you just want them out of your life, and when you're young, especially when you're a child, that desire can be particularly terrible. I bet this is a common thing with OP's grandmother, so I can understand how she feels.

Almost put FYL OP but the username? Grow up you spoiled little girl--a selfie should not be your top priority in your bucket list; *upcoming sarcasm* "Hey guuuurl, look at this picture of me mad at my grandmother" *end sarcasm* Twit

OP isn't comlplaining that she can't take a selfie. She's complaining that she has to deal with a screwed up family.

And being grounded kinda sucks too. Depending on how long their grounded for and what the parents consider grounding, it could very well be FYL. Grounded for the weekend from phone, meh. Grounded for a month from going out, having friends over, TV, computer, and phone... a little more FML worthy. Not go die worthy but mega resentment worthy.

Grandparents will never learn how technology is used today even for the good.

You should've taken one with her,

YDI, you probably made a comment she didn't understand like many arrogant teenagers do. and I'm sure you did a duckface.
Alchemist_21 26
You voted YDI just because of 2 assumptions you made about OP based on nothing more than her age and gender?

YDI for taking a selfie. This is what my generation has become. Bunch of self absorbed citidiots
Alchemist_21 26
At least we don't all use the word "citidiot."

Literally all a "selfie" is is taking a picture of yourself. What is wrong with that?

These comments about the OP deserving it have some merit, but I don't even see how this is FML worthy. Are we forgetting that moderation is done by the site users? This FML should have gone in the garbage. 'Selfie' FMLs. I'm sure we can do better, guys.
