Today, my sister and I got a room in the attic of an old hotel, while our parents got a room several floors down. We discovered the room was full of bugs. Our parents didn't believe us, so we brought them some as proof. They told us to get over it. We can't sleep. We've killed 50 and counting. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up to the sight of a dead fly on my bedside table, being eaten by a swarm of ants. I screamed so bad that my dad said he thought my sister was being murdered in my room. FML
Today, my sister and I checked into our cheap hotel in Brussels as part of our month-long Europe trip. At 11pm we awoke to the sound of a mouse chewing through a bag of food we'd bought. At 3am we awoke to bedbugs. We slept in the bathroom. FML
Today, my sister had a friend for a sleepover. They filmed a video in which the friend was lying in my bed, singing. An hour after the girl went home, her parents called. She has lice, and had brought them to our house unknowingly. I can see each and every individual larva on my pillow. FML
Today, my mom finally believed me when I said I smelled mold. I lifted up the couch, and it was covered in mold. So were the bottoms of all our furniture, our beds, and my grandma's vintage chair. We've been living in mold for the past 4 months. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I moved back in after over a month of couch hopping and $2,000 of heat and chemical treatments for a chronic bedbug issue. I just found bedbugs on my legs. We've used all our favors and have nowhere to go. FML
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML
Today, after my family and I returned to our motel after a long day trip, we saw that the room was made. As we were getting ready to sleep, I pulled my sheets back to find a large piece of crap smeared all over the bed. When we told the front desk about this, they told us to "fuck off." FML
Today, I was visiting my in-laws and sharing a room with my husband's 17-year-old sister. Later that night she and her brother of 24 years started fist-fighting over an air mattress and I had to pull them off each other. The brother later berated me with, "You can't handle any pressure!" FML
Today, after being moved to three different employer-provided apartments because they all had mold and electrical problems, I requested a bigger bed. The bed they delivered had bedbugs. FML
Today, I woke up to the feeling of something crawling up my leg. I threw back the bed sheets and saw it was a cockroach. My dad said my ensuing scream was so girlish that he wondered what the hell my sister was doing in my bedroom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My question is, why would your parents NOT believe that? OP: “Ew, Mom, Dad, there’s a ton of bugs in our room”. Parents: “I honestly can’t think of why there’d be bugs in an attic room, which means you must be lying. Now go back to bed”.

Like bedbugs, roaches or other bugs? It sounds like a bit of an infestation regardless. I’d complain to a manager or call a health inspector

Wtf? This doesn’t make sense. Bro my biggest loathing in the world is for bugs I would be beside myself if that happened to me. I don’t understand why your parents would assume you’re lying for a logical problem. Go to the hotel manager and ask to change rooms so that soon the attic can eventually get disinfected. You paid money didn’t you? You should be able to request a room change or at least make your parents do so.

So you complained to the hotel manager right? Or just to your folks?

I'm wondering why you're in the attic. And if it's that infested, you should definitely mention it to the hotel management. And demand a refund.
