Today, I went to my parents' for the first time in months. Upon my arrival, I found out that I won't be spending the day with them because they've taken a car trip to attend a Sarah Palin book signing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML
Today, I drove 15 hours to drop my son off at my parents' for their vacation, just for them to tell me that they changed their minds and they're taking my sister's kids instead. FML
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I found out I can't go to Los Angeles to visit my grandparents for spring break like I'd planned because my asshole dad got some sort of court order preventing me from leaving the state. He and my mom are in a custody battle over me. FML
Today, I told my parents I really missed them and wanted to come home for the weekend, as I haven't seen them in months. They told me that was a bad idea and they couldn't fit me into their schedule. I asked what their plans were. They said they didn't have any yet. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, I bumped into my parents at the mall. They didn't tell me they were around. I live 5,000 miles away, in a different country from them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to get ahead of the game and start the political controversy: I think all politicians should be rounded up, placed in a large vat, and covered with glue. Discuss.

I'm guessing they live more than ten minutes away. Did they know you were coming? Maybe you need to get into politics.

Sarah Palin is stupid and unethical. FYL for being born through people who like her.

Any parents that would choose Sarah Palin over their kids are idiots. She's a stupid ignorant politician who doesn't deserve the kind of attention she gets.

You just described every politician, ever.

"Ignorant Politician" is another redundant phrase like close proximity, advance warning, end result, and past experience.

I agree. It's repetitive and redundant.

FTL for going to such a book signing. And FYL for not busting into their house and stealing all their toilet paper.

Ok, all politicians and lawyers. And change the glue to cement.

Why limit what chemicals you chose to use? I can think of some way more interesting ones. :P

Yes, like introducing the element of the gerbil to the endothermic heat of their asses.

Sarah Palin can write?! Jeez, you learn something new every day...
Syrael 0
My guess is someone wrote it for her, either that or its a picture book!
thebacons200212 5
either that or she reads it off a teleprompter like Obama. JS

Or her hand.

Maybe it's a pop-up book with lots of colors and small words to keep the people of America entertained.
