Today, my mom told me that she'd rather wait for the city bus all day than allow me to give her a ride. 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, my mom changed her mind about driving me to a job interview because she wants to attend a meeting at a church she told me she'd never go back to, full of people she hates. I can't drive because she refuses to teach me how. There's no public transportation. FML

Today, my mother won't let me intern at a prestigious college, working with graduate students and professors, and being paid, because she doesn't want to drive me. FML

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike
Today, I argued with my mom that I deserved enough independence to ride my bike to school. Halfway there, I realized I was so out of shape that I had to call her for a ride. FML

Ain't no way
Today, my mom offered to drive us into the city after Christmas. I told her months ago that I wasn't getting in a car she was driving, because I don't trust her not to secretly drink and drive. I guess she either forgot or didn't think I meant it. Now I have to tell her again, two days before flying down there. FML

Today, I waited over an hour for my bus. As I finally saw it approaching, I reached into my purse to grab my ticket. The lady next to me then gave the driver a hand signal to keep driving. FML

Happy Father's Day
Today, my mom said I was not allowed to spend Father's Day with my dad. When I tried to point out that I'm 24 years-old and she couldn't stop me, she disabled my car. I don't trust rideshare. FML

See ya!
Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML

Nicely planned
Today, my roommate wanted me to try out a new bus route home, I knew it might take longer but she really wanted me to try, so I went with her. After waiting for ages at The Exchange bus stop for the last bus home, we missed it, and had to take an Uber. FML

**** me, right?
Today, I got offered a ride to go home for the weekend. I go to college six hours away from home and haven't seen my family for almost two months. When I called my mom with the good news, she told me not to come. FML

So then that's her problem. Let her wait for the bus, you can't force her to be comfortable in the car with you.

Wow, you must be a bad driver if she prefers waiting for the bus all day.

Tell her "mom jump on the looser cruiser"

That is very wise advice.

I know my mom would never get in a car with me driving. Even though I know how to drive perfectly she gets a mini heart attack every time I ask her if she'd like a ride... :/

So for my first comment (2) Your mom must "think" you're a bad driver. Either that or she's trying to be environmentally friendly or something.

What if OP is a really good driver and maybe OP just has a really dirty, smelly car.
XxskyelovexX 13
Or maybe ops mom just didn't want to spend time with him/her

17- True, moms need some personal time too...on a bus.

Maybe op is just an aggressive driver. (like most of the east coast drivers)

38- we're not aggressive non-east coasters just drive like turtles

44- I don't think turtles is the word you're looking for... Try the word 'safely'

62 - Just because you're haunted for life by the fml in your profile picture doesn't mean you have to punish the rest of us. That is one of the most horrifying things I've ever read.

Atleast you have your license, why can't she drive?

The tables have been turned now its the parent who doesn't want to ride with their kids, oh my! Let her ride the bus op, it's better for the environment and saves you gas and time.

It's okay OP. You can atleast say you offered her a ride. More time for yourself today!

Either you're just a bad driver, or she's being a bitch.
