Today, my sister asked me to help her set up for my niece's birthday party. Being the lazy person that I am, I got my niece to blow up the non-helium balloons. Apparently she's allergic to latex and I'll be the one paying for the hospital bill. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sisters and I were throwing my mom a birthday party. Since I'm not good at baking, I ordered her a really nice and expensive cake. As my daughter and I were headed out the door, she told me she had added some sprinkles to make it pretty. It was the silica beads from a package. FML
Today, is my little sister's 16th birthday. I spent my last $20 on a gift for her, cleaned the house for her party, made an ice cream cake, and got her a rose. What did I get? "I hope you kept the receipt for this. Oh, and stay in your room during my party." FML
Today, it was my mother's birthday. My 5 year old brother and 85 year old grandma decided to decorate the house with balloons and a blow up "people" they found in my room. FML
Today, my sister was meant to come over for lunch for my birthday. Turns out, she forgot about it. FML
Today, I spent $70 on party supplies for my sister's bachelorette party, another hour decorating, three hours baking and designing a cake, before waiting five hours to hear that she and another bridesmaid had 'moved' the party elsewhere. Cake anyone? FML
Today, I agreed to help out with my boyfriend's sister's baby shower. They forgot to inform me that "helping" meant splitting the cost of everything. I now owe his family $275. I don't know how to back out without looking cheap. FML
Today, I spent over $160 and 2 hours preparing for a Halloween party I was throwing. The only person who showed up was my sister, who helped me decorate. FML
Today, I pretended to have a heart attack so my baby sister would know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she drank my soda instead of helping me. FML
Today, my sister is dressing up as a nerd for Halloween. She's using my clothes for the costume. FML
Today, my sister asked me to grab her some toilet paper. I refused, so she grabbed my favorite shirt out of the laundry basket and used it to wipe. I was busy icing my sprained ankle. I couldn't walk. She knew this. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I voted YDI, but I think I may have been a bit hasty. Who's to say that the allergy was well known? I mean, I know parents today, and if their child is allergic to something, they don't keep it in the house. I think if they knew she was allergic to latex the wouldn't get latex non-helium balloons. If they knew about it and still got them, they should be the ones paying the hospital bill, because it's their own damn fault there were latex balloons in the first place. Chances are they didn't know, and what a way to find you. At least she's okay, right?

You made your niece blow up balloons for her own party... There really needs to be a "go f___ yourself" option

FYL Why did she provide latex balloons in the first place? She would have played with them during the party and gotten an allergic reaction anyway.

Some people are just talking out of their asses. If the girl was around in the first place while they were setting up then its not a surprise party. Why not keep her busy and have her blow up some balloons. Its not like the OP told her to do it and then sat there and watched her do it and didnt help in any other way in setting up the party. Theres nothing wrong with that. The girl is probably young and no one in the family knew about the allergy yet. Hence its not the OPs fault that she had the allergic reaction. She would have found out about it sooner or later you cant go around suing people or making them pay for medical bills for something you didnt know yourself. Even if the parents did know about it and were expecting the OP to blow them up, its their fault there was latex around in the first place. What parent would have it around and even risk their child having an allergic reaction. The parents are just cheap and think they can guilt the OP out of the money for the bills cuz its his/her niece. So really, FTL because theyre just assholes.

Why would your sister be so irresponsible and have latex things around the house when she knows her daughter is allergic to it.

Sorry, that does suck that you have to pay for the bill, but YDI for having her blow up balloons for her own birthday. Also, having children inflate balloons is kind of dangerous anyway, regardless of a latex allergy. =/

Wow FYL, because she (your niece and your sister) didn't even bother telling you she's allergic.

That's complete bullshit, I'd refuse to pay. It's your sister's fault. Show her this site and all the comments that agree.
