Today, my parents told me off for reading, as opposed to watching TV like the rest of the family, because it was "anti-social". FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents confiscated my iPod, because the parents' group they go to came to the conclusion that music is a gateway to anti-social behavior. FML
Today, I was grounded for not agreeing with an article on dating my mom found in a very strict magazine. The article told parents to monitor phone calls, make rumors about their children cheating on people, and not allow their children anywhere but home. FML
Today, I had to be the responsible adult and take my parents' phones away. Most of their time is spent on social media and low-quality brainrot. FML
Today, my parents canceled the Internet at our house because they view it as a "passing fad." FML
Today, my parents threw a hissy fit calling me ungrateful and disrespectful for wanting to do laundry and clean at home, instead of going out to their friends' house for dinner. They also disconnected the Internet to punish me when they left. I'm 20 and visiting home on a college break. FML
Today, my mom told me to stop using my phone and talk to them, but whenever I do that, they just end up yelling at me and telling me to go to my room. FML
Today, my dad lectured me because my mom cried herself to sleep last night. Why? Because I didn't want to watch a movie with her. I had to go to sleep to be up for work at 6 a.m., and was too tired to watch a movie in the first place. I live with drama queens. FML
Today, my parents told me that unless I think about my behaviour and make some real changes, people are going to think I’m weird or suspicious, and I’ll never make friends. This is because I choose to attend church on Sundays instead of watching TV and getting drunk. FML
Today, my family yelled at me for being a "selfish disappointment." My crime? Not being able to help my sister's boyfriend do his homework while I'm working on my class finals. FML
Today, just like almost every other day, my mom goes onto the computer and scolds me for what I watch on YouTube, even when the videos aren't that graphic. Today she scolded me because she found out that I'd watched videos related to the Max Headroom signal intrusion back in '87. Why can't I just watch what I want? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sigh. This is what's wrong with this culture. Read on, OP! Your superior intellect and vocabulary will pay dividends.

I'm guilty of being the anti-social one in the family and I feel your pain OP!

Unfortunately, that's probably not true. It's likeability and connections that pay off nowadays. Not talet, intelligence and vocabulary.

My aunt has accused me of this before as well. And doesn't understand why I spend so much money on books instead of just watching tv. Some people don't know how to appreciate a good book.

Watching TV is anti-social if you watch it alone

Watching television is also anti-social if you only talk during commercial breaks.

Tell them they're right and ask for $20. Then go read somewhere else.

Then use your telekinesis to **** shit up.

I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots. Einstein ?
