Today, I was talking to my dad and told him that I want to be a hotel maid, hoping that he would tell me "You can do better, you're smart, etc." Instead he said, "I'm glad you finally have a goal that you can actually achieve." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at age thirty, my dad gave me the first compliment he's ever given me: "Remember to wash the pan out. Oh, and good job doing your chores and your mother's today." And everyone wonders why it took until last year for me to figure out I'm the same gender as this shitbag. FML
Today, I was telling my dad how I turned down some guy, but when I mentioned the guy's name my dad was like, “Oh, you mean the son of my old friend, studying computer engineering, genius, real future ahead of him, and you think you can do better than him? What’s wrong with you?” FML
Today, I told my dad I was going to the gym. He stood up and clapped. FML
Today, I talked to my father for the first time in several years. I proudly told him that I have been attending Beauty School. He looked me up and down and said, "Doesn't look like you've learned much." FML
Today, I excitedly told my mom how I got accepted to the master’s program of my dreams. She decided now would be a good time to proudly repeat for the millionth time how she gave up a full ride to the Ivy League to marry my father, and I ought to be a "good woman" and do the same. FML
Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
Today, I told my parents I wanted to try modelling. I thought that since I have such a low self-esteem, that it might benefit me, and make me feel better about myself and how I look. The first thing out of my dad's mouth was, "What? Why? You're ugly." Thanks dad. FML
Today, my father decided to "prepare" me for the real world by telling me that I'm ugly. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, I was at work at a local hot dog chain. A child (about 10, who I've seen there before) came in to order food for his Dad. He orders very excitedly, and I told him he'd be a great worker here when he gets older. He said "oh no, my Dad says I'm too smart to work in a place like this." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

this is what happens when you fish for compliments

Why were you hoping for him to tell you that you are smart if you just said you wanted to be a hotel maid?... Smart people don't want to be hotel maids. Those two things are obviously at odds with each other.

Milk comes in bags. Justin Bieber. Degrassi. Scott Pilgrim. Canada is 50% okay.
Cmliedtke 0
Im Canadian, and I have never seen milk in a bag.. Degrassi sucks, justin Bieber is an embarrasment, wtf is Scott Pilgrim?=S
beeship321 5
I like milk in bags. I HATE beiber. The guy that wrote Scott Pilgrim went to my highschool. And we gave Three Days Grace so Canada is 98% Cheif.

Come on. There are more Canadian wannabe singers/bands than just Bieber. Some of them are actually good! Agreed, Bieber sends our rating plummeting. Where I live, we have milk in bags, but I've used the bottles before and prefer those. Less mess. Scott Pilgrim is god. That is all.

scott pilgrim rocks pretty hard, so if i was canadian, i'd be pretty damn proud of that. |the kid|

Milk in bags?? I grew up in Canada and I've never seen that. As for OP, get some self confidence and quit seeking the approval of others.

Nickelback. You ******* gave the world Nickelback. And Avril Lavigne's most recent piece of garbage. But you only get half taken off for her latest garbage, because she's hot ;P And I don't like Drake, so he doesn't make up for anything.

actually that is something we say in Canada and it's not offensive... I use that all the time but if your not from Canada then that makes no sense.

26, shut your ******* mouth before I come over there and shut it for you.

Alexisonfire, Marianas Trench, Three Days Grace >:l I'm sure there's more if you google it... And don't just blame us for embarrassing artists. If you're American, you have a lot of famous assholes there too :).
FYLDeep 26
You guys must have forgotten that Canada gave the world Rush... So they are allowed to release as many shitty bands as they like. The Agonist is pretty ******* good too. Most people don't know who they are though.

you can start training for your new career now. my bedspread and mattress cover need to be washed, but my apartment sized stacked washer/drier is too small to fit them. you will have to go to the coin laundry. I'll give you quarters.

Don't forget to pay her for the "sucky sucky". Because they're basically the same jobs, right?

very true!! It would be a true FML if you said you wanted to be a Doctor, Lawyer..have another professional career or at least go to an Ivy League school and his response was negative? like: "you're too stupid" or something.
