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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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

Today, I had to walk home in the rain because my mom didn't want to get her new car wet. 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.

A mom on the bus is worth two in the hand. No, I don't know either.

Maybe she's hoping to sit next to that guy who was trying to " fellate himself".

I know what kind of car you drive. A Honda Civic.

My mom hates riding with me because my driving scares her, but I think she would still choose me over the bus.

My mom has told me the same thing. My mom got disabled and basically bedridden and told me she'd rather die than live with me and have me take care of her if, God forbid, dad die before her. It's all good, she died and dad is still around. I loved her, but she was, uh, something. 8-D

That's messed up, but at least you'll have the day to yourself.
