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.

I kinda see this as an bonus. Even though it sucks that your mom doesn't trust your driving, you don't have to take her anywhere! Hooray for less work!

You should become the city bus driver just so you can say that she has no choice but to drive with you now

She could just wait for the next bus

Hey Alan, can the mods make a new rule where you nuke the living shit out of anyone who uses hashtags and YOLO?

Teach a man to fish and you don't have to shit away the day on a bus for life.

Well did she say why? Or did she just leave you wondering?

You're complaining? You need more time with Mommy? Geez.

Is there anything wrong with spending time with your mom? Please elaborate on why this is wrong.

If he's old enough to drive, you'd think he'd be looking to take a girl or guy of his own somewhere instead of pining away because Mommy doesn't want to ride with him. Time to cut the apron strings, already.

I'm guessing you don't have a good relationship with your mom or she has a crush in the bus.
