Today, my mom stopped playing badminton with me because she claimed I was too aggressive. Apparently winning, playing by the rules, and smashing is considered aggressive. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I got dragged into playing doubles tennis. It was me and my wife against her parents. I wound up hitting the ball too hard. My mother-in-law, who has the reaction times of a comatose turtle, got nailed. Everyone's convinced I did it on purpose because of our mutual hatred of each other. FML
Today, my mum yelled "Son of a bitch!" as I narrowly beat her at a game of Mario Kart. I jokingly yelled back "Hell yeah I am!" Now I'm grounded for two weeks, birthday included, all because my mum's a sore loser. FML
Today, my girlfriend beat me at ping pong, twenty to three. She said I let her win because I don't respect her, then stormed out of the room. I'm just really bad at ping pong. FML
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Shady tactics
Today, at a mixed-family game of rugby, my dad resorted to calling me a "goddamned accident" and eventually body-slamming me, just so I'd stop playing long enough for his team to score. FML
Today, while playing badminton at school, I got an opponent who is mentally handicapped. Since I'm terrible at the game, I guess the teacher assumed it would be a good match. I won the match, my first victory ever. My teacher accused me of cheating to humiliate him. FML
Overbearing much?
Today, my mom caught me playing Mortal Kombat and had a fit about the violence, saying she read violent video games turn young people like me into mass murderers. I’m 29 years-old with my own flat and she still tries to treat me like a dumb impressionable teenager. FML
I'm always right
Today, my mom got mad at me. She told me that the neighbor was stupid for letting their kids play all over the street alone. I said it was fine, because the mom walked right next to the daughter as she played on her scooter. She argued, “Why do you always have to disagree with me?” FML
Today, I went to eat with my girlfriend, her parents and my mother. My mother complained about every aspect of the service. When I told her she needed to assert herself, she took her pocketbook and hit me over the head. The whole restaurant stared at us while she yelled "Is that assertive enough?" FML
Doormat blues
Today, my mom spent an hour lecturing me on how I'm a doormat who lets people walk all over me, and that I needed to be more assertive. So I stood up and told my dad, no, I am not going on that forestry camp he wants me to go to. Mom sat silently by as he screamed and grounded me for the entire summer. FML

Shuttlecock*

Does no one call its a birdie or that just my schools nickname for it?
TheDrifter 24
They call it a birdie for little kids who would spend and entire class laughing at the mention of shuttlecock.

Smashing is usually considered quite aggressive...

Looks like it's time to take up squash

Maybe you should show her some real aggressive playing.

When you go against girls you always let them win
Indianboy9321 25
What if two girls play one another?

@17,I hope you aren't serious.

Honestly, I'd much rather lose than be patronised that way. Especially in a game like badminton, where the general physical advantage men have over women doesn't much apply.

I am serious. If you don't let girls win at sports then you seem like an asshole
1uw 9
But then if you lose you seem like a pussy so it's bad either way
xReDMemory 28
What makes you an asshole is losing to someone on purpose,especially if it's because they don't have a dick.
xReDMemory 28
Excuse me,I correct my sentence to 'What makes you an asshole is losing to someone on purpose just because they don't have a dick'.

You sexist bastard women can be epic at sports too. They'll look for a good competition in sports, not always win cause they're the "girl". They don't want that ( although I say this, I'm a guy :/ whatever).

Get some friends of your own age..

Understand that people of all ages love to play.

I'm not sure that's true with badminton. Try tennis with friends. And no, that's not an iPhone app. OK, it probably is.

Come on man... PLAY SOME FOOTBALL!! But not with your mother.....that would be disturbing and painful for the both of you...
kitkatmiaow 21
Maybe she just wanted to play for fun? And not be concerned with who wins... :)

You're one of *those* people. Technically you're right, but for gods sake.. you're playing against your mother. There's nothing that kills the good hearted spirit more than a competitive asshole when you're just trying to have fun.
