Today, my family and I went over to our new neighbors' house, to sing a carol and say hello. The only response we got was a door slammed in our faces. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a group of carolers was coming up my street, so I went out in the cold to wait for them. When they finally arrived, I waved and greeted them. They huddled up discussing something while pointing at me, then skipped my house. FML
Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML
Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I went over to my friend's house. Her 5 year-old son answered the door and when he saw me said, "Oh great, it's YOU!" and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, I went caroling with some family friends. We got pelted with oranges. FML
Today, some new people moved into the house next door to mine. The previous occupants were very loud and obnoxious day in and day out, so I was looking forward to some sanity. When I went outside, I noticed they'd parked their cars on my lawn. FML
Today, I was singing while unloading my dishwasher. I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it only to find the police telling me they received noise complaints from my neighbors. I live next-door to my parents. FML
Today, my new neighbours came over to introduce themselves. I opened the door to see my ex-husband, with a horrified look on his face, and his girlfriend. FML
Today, I moved into my new house. I went over to my neighbors' house to introduce myself. As they opened the door I saw a telescope pointed at my house. FML
Today, I went to a nursing home to sing Christmas carols to the elderly. They threw their bananas at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well caroling is pretty annoying! Maybe they didn't like your harmonies.

No one wants to hear you sing, but they'll listen if you give them a couple beers and a pizza.

Kudos for trying to be nice but I'm pretty sure they were just tired from moving. Merry Christmas! Or Happy Holidays...

Bah Humbug to all of you people saying "YDI" and "Carolers are annoying"! Where did the Christmas Spirit go? I know all people aren't Christian, but DAMN! People, at least, deserve RESPECT! To slam the door in peoples' face is just rude! If someone were to slam the door in my face, I'd stand right outside and sing at the top of my lungs. Then kindly wish them a Merry Christmas. BAH HUMBUG! :[

Nobody "deserves" respect, however they could have earned it with better singing

Yes, agreed. But with so much YDI's just for christmas caroling(on this fml and the last one with oranges), I feel like people view christmas carolers as "sub-human" and deserving to be treated like crap (some people will go as far as throwing oranges (someone commented throwing rocks), or joking about setting them on fire or shooting them with a shotgun. Christmas is dying, for me that is. Humanity amazes and scares me sometimes...

I truly am scared. With each generation getting older and new generations being born, they are getting worse and worse. It's breaking my heart. And I am truly embarrassed and ashamed of being in the generation that I was born in to. People my age and younger are the worst! So cruel, hateful, rude, and just obnoxious! I wish that humans would just respect each other and be kind to one another. And as for you, Mr. You-don't-get-respect!-You-earn-it, respect is to be given until you're given a reason not to. People like you are the reason kids are getting in to gangs and shooting up malls. And the reason the hard-working father gets laid off the week before Christmas just because you felt like being a dick that day. Basically, what I'm saying is that people like you are the cause of the downfall of humanity. Treat others as you want to be treated. They taught that in Pre-K! There is no need to be heartless! Merry Christmas to you anyway!

130 Just because thy have a different view on how respect is given they're the cause of all of this? Riiiight. It definitely wasn't the harmful households or environments. It definitely wasn't a single individual's bad judgement or peer pressure. Nope. It was this one individual with a different view on respect that did it all. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm not saying that it was this one individual. I clearly said "people like you". And it's true. The downfall of humanity isn't happening because of one persons actions. It is happening because of many different people with the same attitude of this one individual. The golden rule is "treat others as you want to be treated", isn't it? That means, give respect until given a reason not to.

I actually go caroling with my family every year so I don't see your point. We however can actually sing and we don't go to Jewish homes out of respect. Let's not be irrational.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I wouldn't want my neighbors singing Christmas carols outside of my house. Unless they bring over a pair of ass-less chaps and the arm of a mannequin to shove up my ass.

Caroling?? Seriously?

When my neighbors caroled at our house, they gave us little chocolates after they finished. So we got entertainment and treats:)

Carolers suck. I don't want to stand there letting the heat out while my dinner gets cold.
