Today, my ex's mom got a job as our new soccer coach and recognized me from our New Year's party last year. She made me, and me alone, do 10 laps around the field in the rain for breaking her son's heart. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Hey!
Today, I learned who my dad's new fiancée is. Upon meeting her she exclaimed, "My, I haven't seen you in a while!" She's my ex-boyfriend's mom. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, I was practicing soccer at my school. My team was practicing penalty kicks. It was my turn up and this cute girl that I like was watching off ten feet away from the goal. I was running to take the kick when I slipped and kicked the ball. It hit her head and now she won't talk to me. FML
Today, I went to my son's soccer game. I cheered his name at the top my lungs and waved with a grin on my face. I saw him whisper something to a team mate so I watched the film my husband took later that night. His friend asked, "Who is that?" and my son replied, "I don't know some fat bitch." FML
Today, after soccer practice I was looking for my dad. Last night he was an hour late, so I was pretty pissed. When I spotted him, I saw him flirting with a much younger woman. I then tried throwing my soccer ball to his feet, but ended up slamming his head. Only to find out he wasn't my dad. FML
Shame! Shame! Shame!
Today, I went to my son's school soccer game. Unfortunately, I couldn't get excited about it because my idiot son kept diving the moment anyone so much as breathed on him. It eventually earned him a penalty shot that won him the game. I was so ashamed, I snuck out to avoid being seen with him. FML
Today, I was kicking my soccer ball with my father. My mom pulled out in the car without checking and ran into to me. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend accepted my mother's offer to have his wedding in our backyard. FML
Thanks, I guess
Today, my ex-girlfriend came over to console me after a breakup. After beating me repeatedly in Mario Kart, she decided to leave. FML
Love is blind
Today, my ex-wife confessed to me that she's in love with my father and broke down crying because he's never approved of her. FML

HeyHeyFishFillet 34
Right as the clock hits 12:00, January 1.... OP - "Hey babe guess what my new years resolutions is. I'm only changing one thing in my life." OP's boyfriend - "Hmm I don't know babe what is it?" OP - "You."

Maybe she rejected him, she probably wasn't ready yet.

They were probably just at the same party together, she might not have done anything in particular to make the mother remember her by. You don't necessarily need to do something big for someone to remember you. My ex's mother still remembers me 4 years later walking past her on the street and we only met twice.

#24, I thought your story was going to be familiar to Cinderella.
MateRicks 18
It was rhetorical mate.

I would tell the principle. She can't make you do extra work for her personal feelings. It's wrong!!!!!

At least OP admitted to breaking his heart.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Because some people have some ******* respect for adults, though they're occasionally unfair.
happylappy 21
Or because she wants to stay on the team
ebonyirony 29
You don't respect someone based on their age. You respect them based on their personhood and if they fail to respect you, you can fail to do the same.

You can't get kicked off a team she can make OP's life so miserable which could force her to leave but she can't make her do it. Also if she does keep picking on you OP just talk to her politely about it, if she doesn't tell someone higher up in the club.
CocaColaPepsi 13
if you tell your coach to,"Go **** off" yes you can be kicked off the team.
speakersboom 19
total dick move on her part, but I still have to admire her momma bear instinct :)
jazzy_123 20
63, that's not a "momma bear" instinct. That's an immature instinct. A mature adult wouldn't do something unfair. I know my mom would never do such a thing to someone that's hurt me.
DavidKnows 11
Wow! "Personhood"! What a terrific word. I'm stealing it to use as a unisex reference. TY
NeatNit 33
#3 is completely right, though it's probably best not to phrase it like that. That "coach" has to have bosses. Refuse any unfair bullshit, and if she threatens you in some way (like kicking you off the team) just complain to whoever's higher up. You've got the whole team on your side as witnesses.
jkmartinjk 16
@63, the mom probably has no idea what went on in the relationship and therefore has no right to judge OP for ending it. She was just being immature.
speakersboom 19
yeah that's true. Didn't think about that, sorry bro.
BrotherPhil 35
In an ideal world, yes. Unfortunately, in authoritarian set ups like schools, work, etc you are expected to "salute the uniform, not the man", and make a pretence of respect for someone in a higher position, even if they are a complete dickwad.

Not all adults deserve respect, least of all this woman.

yeah but she's the coach so she could probably kick her off the team

I see you're getting a head start on next summer's beach body.

haha right! jokes on her
itscare1217 13
kick her ass
NotAddictive 6
That would go over really well I think.
Kyuzomi 12
I would love to see that. Just as she tells her to run 10 laps she jumps on her in pure rage and beats her to the ground. Absolute horror for everyone there. Except me. :)
cactusdesu 15
Oh really now? Is that what you would have done? Would you really have kicked her in the ass?
PenguinBitch 44
Don't bring her donkey into this!
CallMeMcFeelii 14
While I don't agree with an ass beating, I will say don't listen to her OP. Back in high school when I played football my coach tried making me run laps for an incident that didn't involve school nor did it involve football. I told my coach he doesn't have the authority to single me out over something non football related. I took my gear off and I went home. Next day at practice they didn't say a damn thing to me and allowed me to continue my training. People like that shouldn't be coaches.
CallMeMcFeelii 14
Also, speaking from experience, some coaches do not like when you make them feel equal to you. It's ****** up. They act like they're better than you and more important than you are. They'll talk down to you in ways that makes them feel entitled. That was one major problem I had. I feel like everyone, old or young, are equal. I ******* despise people that think because they're the "coach", their lives and time on this earth mean more than your own. I have a huge problem being subordinate to ***** like that. OP don't allow her to push you around. You don't have to deal with her bullshit just because she used to play soccer 30 years ago. I'm not telling you to be an asshole, I'm just saying don't allow her to play out her twisted revenge scheme. Seriously **** people who do that. They abuse their "power" by singling out people for all the wrong reasons. You aren't a sheep, you aren't a dog, she is not your master so don't ******* let her get away with it. Stand up for yourself, OP, sports aren't worth losing your dignity. Good luck. Stand strong and stand proud.
RainbowShine_fml 18
you might consider playing another sport..
juan77football 6
Football isn't too bad of an option
CocaColaPepsi 13
You can just "pick a new sport" I cab say from experience if you're naturally good with 1 sport go with it but you might suck at the rest
jazzy_123 20
or maybe the coach can just coach a new team.
