Today, my mom told me that she was selling my favorite thing in the world, my trombone. The only thing that I'm good at is the trombone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my neighbor's daughter started learning how to play the trombone. FML
Today, I was short on money for bills, so I pulled out my alto saxophone, knowing that no matter how much I loved it, I'd be able pay my rent with the money. As I pulled it out of its case, the neck strap broke and I dropped it, breaking the bell beyond repair. Now I'm poor AND depressed. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, my mother informed me that she sold my dog to pay off some bills. FML
Today, my little brother got a violin. FML
Today, it's the last night before a concert. Today is also the day my brother pawned my clarinet for drug money. FML
Today, my sister just had a huge fight with my mom. After that, she thought it was appropriate to smash my $1,000 guitar to "blow off some steam." FML
Today, my sister was playing a rock star in a play. When she got home, she told me she used one of my old guitars, because I told her it was ok. I said she could take one to practice on, not destroy on stage. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You people are so ignorant. Just because you're good at a musical instrument doesn't mean you have a failed social life. Many of the musicians at my school are actually quite popular. People these days....

Looks like it's time to be a suck-up. Do what she wants, and if that doesn't work, don't let it go without one hell of a fight!

OMG fyl!!!!! You should stand up for your trombone! I know that if anyone tried to take my trombone, I would bite their arm off. Fight for your right to do a glissando freely!!!!

Huge Band Geek here. Dont sell your 'bone!! Im a baritone/euphonium player myself and I take so much pride in low brass. No one should be allow to just come in and take the one thing youre good at. My horn is the only thing I have that makes me happy and Ive had to fight quite a few times to keep it that way. Stay strong fellow Band Geek. -MrSpanky1193
