Today, my non-English-speaking grandma bought me a new t-shirt. It would've been sweet if it didn't have the word "bondage" written on the back in pretty, bold letters. I had no choice but to wear it while we went shopping. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a package at work. Thinking it was something I ordered, I opened it in front of my coworkers. It was a gift from my grandmother: a giant pink, “I Love My Grandson” T-shirt. The worst part? They insisted I put it on and take a picture to send to her. FML
Today, while shopping for dresses, I found a really cute one that fit me really well, but not at all in the breast area. My grandma screamed "buy her some titties!" Everyone in the store looked at me. FML
Today, I wore a Stanford college T-shirt to school. My Spanish teacher took one look at it and said "You wish". FML
Today, my mom bought me a t-shirt from the store. It has the U.S. Marines logo on it and says "Marine's Girlfriend." I'm a straight 16 year-old boy and my mom only reads and speaks Spanish. FML
Today, I went shopping with a friend. She went to try some clothes on and came out to ask for my opinion. "Hell no! That shirt is awful!" She wanted to show me the pants. The shirt was hers. FML
Today, my grandma went to get birthday gifts for my twin sister and me. She returned with 2 shirts that read "I see you've met the twins" in big letters across the chest. She gave them to us and said, "Isn't this cute? 'cause you're twins!" I then had to explain to her what the shirt was actually referring to. FML
Today, I went shopping with my grandma. Told her I saw a pretty dress I liked. She asked me who would fit in that? When I replied they have it in different sizes. She replied with, "Yeah but definitely not yours.". FML
Today, I needed a change of clothes, so I called my mom. She brought me a grey shirt with a toucan on the front and 'Mexico City' spelled in glitter. I asked her why she would bring me such an ugly shirt, and she started crying. Turns out she'd bought it for me as a present from her trip. FML
Today, I woke up to my overly religious grandmother trying to shove salt down my throat yelling "DEMON BE GONE!". Why? I didn't wear the cross neckless she bought me. FML
Today, the "My body is beautiful" t-shirt that my therapist gave me didn't fit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You really couldn't have just explained it to her?

Maybe she thought it meant the same thing as Bonding?

Well, not too much you can do now. You wear that shirt OP, you wear the **** out of it.

You could have worn a jacket on top of the shirt.

You should of just told her the meaning, but I'm sure you will start to like it

Just act like your stance is against bondage. Every time someone gives you an inquiring look, shout,"free the people."

Zip up sweater. The writing was on the back. Wear it unzipped and you can still show off the shirt with grandma but remain comfortable while walking around!

It is inappropriate to "brag" that you moderated it. Been there, its a rookie mistake.

I wasn't trying to brag sorry I just thought it was interesting it happened the day I found out about the badge

Don't be hating on bondage. Just because you aren't into it doesn't mean it's bad. I don't find it appealing but I think it's interesting.
