Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, like always, my parents are such tightwads that they refused to turn the heating system on, despite the ball-freezing temperatures. I was so cold, I had to resort to warming my hands up over the toaster. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for going through her closet for some warmer clothes. She had a rant about taking her clothes without her permission, all while wearing a pair of my boots and one of my sweaters. FML
Today, my mom wants to save money on both heating and electricity. Put into practice, this means that the temperature in my room is about the same as that in our fridge. FML
Today, my room was so cold that I actually had to wear a coat to enter it without feeling extremely uncomfortable. I have insulated curtains for this exact reason, but it looks like that won't do. FML
Today, I visited my mom because I don't see her much due to her living 30 minutes away from me. They just recently fixed their AC. A few hours before I was about to leave, it broke again. I tried to be patient but it heated up to over 80 degrees inside, and I'm really sensitive to heat. Thankfully they weren't offended. FML
Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML
Today, I was visiting my grandmother's house. She keeps the thermostat on 85 and after about 30 minutes I explained to her that, "I'm going to have to leave, it's just too hot in here." She replied, "You think it's hot in here, wait until you get to hell." I laughed. She didn't. FML
Today, my parents told me that they've been having a contest to see who could punish me the most this week. So far, my mom is in the lead by kicking me out of the car near railroad tracks, and making me walk the 4 miles home in the freezing rain. FML
Today, my mom and I took my senile grandmother to the mall, since she doesn't get out much. She complained it was hot, then took her clothing off in the middle of the food court. It took us thirty minutes to make her put her shirt back on. FML
Today, thanks to a wonderful -40°F wind chill (I'm in the Midwest), I woke up this morning to a freezing cold house. I had to wear my shoes, a coat, and gloves. Indoors. For the whole morning and most of the afternoon. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Obviously a place a called Iceland is always cold, covered in ice and frozen. Greenland of course is just covered in vegetation as far as the eye can see.

Given your location it seems your Mum is pretty stupid

I hope by that you don't mean that the place is completely covered in ice...

#20. That's actually not true at all. What I learnt about those two places is that the names of Iceland and Greenland are complete opposites of their name. Lol

#24, it seems you have a cold. I'll make you a nice, hot tea.

Give him some of your famous whorehound tea, Sassy. That will clear up his cough right away.

Everyone, isn't #6 one of the most beautiful men you've ever seen?

#28 No. He is not :)

Pretty sad that #23 didn't get the sarcasm.
SundayNightSix 23
Aww, thanks Sassy. I take mine with some honey and lemon! =]

Welshite, if I give him some of my whorehound tea, the cough will go away but he'll catch something else.

Please tell me you're just trolling. Iceland is coverrd in Green and Greenland is covered in ice.

Honestly if I'd never watched the mighty ducks I forget which movie number I'd probably have made the same mistake but the quote "Iceland is green and Greenland is covered in ice" always stuck with me

Guys, both Greenland and Iceland can get very, very cold.

Did your mom also believe the world was going to end on Dec. 21, 2012?...

#23, you must be fun at parties

ouch! that has to burn

January in Iceland is still cold as ****. But nice attempt at being a dick. Well this was a reply to #6 I have no clue how it ended up here.
HeyHeyFishFillet 34
@ #11, I don't think #2 was trying to be a dick. You on the other hand...

17- Let me complete your sentence: "... are a victim of FML site twitchiness."
ElricMustang 23
#11 Regardless, it was assumed that he thought it was covered in ice, "given the location", so next time, learn to figure out clues before you look like the ignorant one here ;P

On the other hand? I think you mean in :P
ashalayx 13
atleast you can get out of the house, stuck in a foot and a half of snow

I know how you feel. This winter has been almost too warm. Only had 1 day if snow. :(

Does she own a sweater? Or a sweatshirt? Or a blanket?
Sports_guy3 28
Since she was boasting that she wouldn't get cold, I don't think so.
kinky44 28
That frostbites.

Icy what you did there
TheOnlyMizLiv 22
Snow what, it was hardly a spine chilling pun.
ElricMustang 23
I don't get it; has she never been in really cold weather before?
VonBlitzkrieg 27
...They live in Iceland, dude. Yes. I am aware Iceland isn't as cold as Antarctica or "Green"land, but I imagine it's up there with Alaska and Norway.
horizontalline 18
So much for not feeling the chill.

Lol. sounds like a kid.
onlychildFTW 34
Makes me wonder who the real adult is. Haha.

Remind her how high the heating bill will be.
