Today, my family picked a place for my birthday dinner. They chose a seafood restaurant. I'm allergic. FML

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

Today, my family asked where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner. They shot down my every suggestion and decided on sushi. I'm allergic, so the only thing I could eat was a veggie appetizer. Dad said I need to "expand my palate." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he was taking me out to eat to his favorite restaurant. He said I could order whatever I wanted and he'd pay for it. He took me to Red Lobster, knowing full well that I'm allergic to seafood. FML

Today, for the third time this month, my family ridiculed me for being picky for ordering a burger without lettuce. They know I'm allergic. FML

He had to find out eventually!
Today, I made my boyfriend a beautiful dinner of seafood and rice. This was the first time I could afford lobster, and thought it would be a great treat for us both. I learned that this was the first time he has eaten lobster, and he learned that he is allergic. FML

Sounds like a win, somehow
Today, I found out that I'm allergic to shrimp, when I went out for a lunch with my long-term crush after I finally got the courage to ask her out. She's really into seafood. A little while into the afternoon I started to feel itchy. She ended up scratching my back all night. FML

Today, I went on a blind date with a guy at a seafood restaurant. I explained to him that I am deathly allergic to shrimp. When the waiter took my order, he interrupted me and said, “She’ll have the shrimp," while looking me dead in the eye. FML

People suck
Today, the family I was serving had ordered calamari and when I brought out the food, they started yelling at me because apparently their daughter was allergic to it. Just why would you order it then? FML
Ugh
Today, at my work in a self-service chinese restaurant, a lady came up to me, pointed to the plate she loaded with honey king prawns, and yelled at me because she was allergic to seafood. She demanded a refund and another plate. Everything is clearly labeled. FML

Today, my family took me to a steak house. I went for an eight minute bathroom break, coming back to an empty table. They ordered dessert, and left me the bill. I'm a vegetarian, and it's my birthday. FML

Today, my family went out to dinner at a seafood restaurant. While we were eating our food, my grandma demanded to see the manager, and loudly complained that her fish was "too fishy". FML

Are your parents stupid? On your birthday they pick something you can't eat? It's your birthday, should you pick the place?

When you blow out the candles, look them in the eye and wish "to have better parents next year" out loud.

My parents did a similar thing to me one time, I wanted to go somewhere nice for my birthday (I was 14 at the time) but as it was my dad paying for it he said no at the last minute, and took us to a curry buffet knowing full well that I don't like spicy food. I can't imagine what it's like being taken somewhere that you're allergic to though, I hope they realised, OP.

Sit there and glare at them the entire time. Make them feel really guilty

Why did they pick a place you were allergic to? And why couldn't they go on their own time?
Love_L0ST 13
Did you let them know aft r or just hope that they remembered?
Liah12_fml 13
Yep. I told them about it last year and they promised not to do it again this year ...and they still do. And they wonder why birthdays aren't really important to me ..lbs

People don't get sarcasm here or what? It wasn't a spelling error.

It's your birthday, only you should be able to pick a restaurant of your choice.

Boy oh boy that is rough... I'd have waited for the waiter to take my order and said "Oh nothing for me, I'm allergic", then would have remained passive aggressive the rest of the night.
