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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

Anything having to do with Sarah Palin is automatically an FYL.

Did you call ahead and tell your parents you were coming, OP? If you didn't then YDI. If you did then... I'm sorry your parents are more excited about a book than seeing you.

Being more excited about the book isn't the problem, it's the fact that it's a book written by Sarah Palin. Now theres problem.

I agree FYL OP. I must be very traumatic to learn that your parents suddenly developed mental retardation. You might want to let your doctor know that your parents are Sarah Palin supporters so it can be added to your medical records. It is always good to start looking for any diseases you might be genetically prone too. Hopefully you will be ok, but the sooner your doctors can catch the early onset of symptoms, the better your chances are they can help you. Be sure to tell them the minute you start to see symptoms that you are also becoming retarded. Some thing to look out for includes listening to Justin Biebe or beginning obsessed with Twilight.
