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.

Hey, I have to sleep outside in the 0 degree weather as my final exam for a survivalist class I'm taking. I shit you not- I am jealous.

Fahrenheit or celcius? There is wide scope between the two in temperatures here (although both are bloody cold).
abbey728 16
Fahrenheit.

How do they make sure you really slept outside for your finals? Do you have to record it or does someone monitor you? Sorry if this sounds stupid, just curious.

I know when I did something similar is was in the middle of nowhere in a forest. Nowhere to go that isn't outside.

There are two people who have to monitor it. To make it worse we have to only eat the food we make, which is jerky. I'm a vegetarian.

Too easy, I can do that no problem.

No offense but that's not that bad unless you have bad equipment. With some nice snow insulating the ground, a good sleeping bag and proper clothes, camping in the winter can actually be really nice, especially at only 0F

Some of us just take a little longer to grow out of that stage than others. She'll come around op. They always do when they start loosing feeling in their limbs. Good luck.

Don't loose the limbs' feelings! Have you ever had an arm go through an emotional breakdown?! It's awful.

Good one.

It's hard for some people to achieve the balance between comfortable and stubborn.

All that heat, and yet such a cold heart.

Although you would think "mothers know best" and would have wore a coat.

Hope she's the one paying for the heating bill!

Open a window! Sit by that to keep cool and the heater will keep you warm. Its like a mix! :)

Wear a bit less t shirt and shorts if needed...maybe you should be a mother to your mother...

Is it possible hormones are also messing with her stupidity? We have 2 in our family right now, and in get-togethers, it's a battle between the open doors, fans, and heaters.
