Today, we started our 17 hour drive to Michigan for spring break. My mom decided to go to Target to buy some music CDs. All she bought was three Nicki Minaj CDs. She has already replayed the first CD four times. 14 hours to go. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my family and I are driving down to France and it's going to take 4 hours. If that wasn't bad enough, my mum decides that she is going to listen to the CD my sister bought her for Christmas on repeat for the whole journey. It's Lady Gaga. FML
Today, I'm driving with to Vancouver with my aunt. It's been four hours and she still hasn't gotten tired of her lone Nickelback CD yet. FML
Today, I had a 10 hour drive to Las Vegas with only 2 CDs, Taylor Swift and Jason Mraz, and my girlfriend who thinks she's a good singer. FML
Today, I'm going on an 8-hour drive with my insane family. This usually means screaming arguments, graphic conversations about my dad's pubes, some karaoke, plenty of farting, some stale Pringles, and an obese golden retriever on my lap the entire time. Arizona, here we come. FML
Today, I made my mom a mix CD for her car. It took me ages to find just the right songs that would be perfect for her. When I played it for her in the car, she took it out and threw it out of the window. FML
Today, at the crack of dawn, I started a 700-mile road trip with my three children. So far, I've stopped four times, settled several arguments, cleaned up spilled yogurt and melted silly putty. 130 miles down, 570 to go. FML
Today, my roommate’s 17 year-old daughter got broken up with. She locked herself in her room and won’t stop playing "Driver’s License" by Olivia Rodrigo on a continuous loop. Not to mention sounding like an agonizing cat while screaming its lyrics. It’s been 2 hours. FML
Today, during a family road trip, my mom decided to spring a surprise conversion on us. This included screaming bible verses, blasting crazy gospel music and sobbing that we needed to repent before we’re all condemned to hell for eternity. She did this for 4 hours straight. FML
Today, my daughter got selected to pick music for a funeral. She only listens to Nikki Minaj. FML
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML

PandaKitteh 20
I think they're about the same terribleness :P (not trying to offend anyone)
carebear808 12
Nope I'm pretty sure Nikki manaj is the worst you can get.
uhhSavage 22
Tell that woman to hook you up with some Beethoven!
junkman6 22
Oh hah I missed this comment somehow before I posted mine! Anyway yes road trips turn into homicides when beiber music is played too much.
fuzz97 23
can you please stop making Justin Bieber jokes already I don't even like his music but this shit is lame and stale and it's been done to death
TrueTriage 16
While I agree Bieber jokes are over used they're not quite at the level of "Shitty Situation" jokes and even farther from the "doesn't matter had sex" jokes. Give it time and they'll die out one day
ladyLALAA 29
Just wait until it get up to "Beauty and the Beat" it's Nicki Minaj AND Justin Beiber! Maybe your mum thought she was being cool?
carleybeak 21
Don't come to Michigan.. It's cold and snowy here in Detroit
EsotericBrent 29
I can't believe there's been no nickelback references. Is it just me who hates them?
Pyro_Wolf 17
Nickelback isn't even that bad of a band...
Mahtari 19
That's debatable. They are both atrocious.
lexi365 20
but on the bright side about Nicki, heard she wants to move to England. Yay, one idiot out of America!
WingsFan80 4
First mistake was going to Michigan for spring break.
TheAbstract 15
Well 91, they kind of are bad now. They used to make some pretty nifty tunes but they just sorta sold out and started making bullshit that got really old really fast. They're older music though? Me gusta.
ThatsMyPie 20
22 - LIVE Beethoven! Man, his European tour back in 1786... Simply outstanding!
santabunty 3
137 u r messed up and way behind the current
then000bster 16
@100 first mistake? The first mistake was bringing their mom.
gracehi 33
I'd take Justin Beiber over Nikki Minaj any day. At least he can sing and his music has a melody. Plus the lyrics, while stupid, at least don't advocate drinking all your money away and defaulting on your rent, which is far dumber than repeating "oooooh, baby, baby" in an obnoxiousness amplifying falsetto.
insertnameherr 11
although it could have been Justin bieber, nicki Minaj is scary as ****. I'm 20 years old and she still gives me nightmares.
BulldogHoops 14
151. WTF. Please tell me you know that 137 didn't go to a live Beethoven showing.
Interwebzombie 15
@93 They'll kick her out like they kicked Justin Bieber out.
lilhellian 27
why go to target for music in the first place.. What did you honestly expect.. Next time get an aux cord and a smart phone with data and youtube.. If you don't have one already..
hellphone_fml 37
Yes because we all have a smart phone with and internet plan and money for that.
CallMeMcFeelii 14
You don't need Internet on your phone to play music. Just putting that out there.
lilhellian 27
There are some really cheap plans out there.. Also they could use songs from an ipod or mp3 player.. Not limited to smart phones.. For youtube directly you need net..
evilplatypus 39
While lil was a bit out there with the smartphone comment, an MP3 player for twenty bucks would still produce the same effect. Edit: lil wrote their addendum while I was writing this.
pmadNess 16
Plus the cost of the songs... Not everyone has the $$$ to buy it all at once.
kxxjoejoexxk 8
43 i just facepalmed if you bought the cd why exactly could you buy the song for an mp3?
pmadNess 16
46- I would hope one wouldn't... I was merely adding to above replies to this response. If you take your hand away from your face, it's much easier to read things...
lilhellian 27
You can get songs for free.. It's not hard at all.. There are certain sites that'll give you the mp3 from youtube..
botanistjessica 24
Yeah, which is illegal. No matter how many people do it, it's best not to blatantly state on the Internet that you do and raise eyebrows.
lilhellian 27
I never actually said I do it.. I left room for deniability.. Which I do have until other wise stated..
Lionesse 15
#64 I think the Feds have bigger fish to fry than to try to track every single individual who "blatantly" state they illegally download music. They put the threat out there but we all know they do not have the time to track down everyone. Now if you are a creator of an illegal website, they'll go after you because.. Well you are the bigger fish. When the United States isn't filled with high profile criminals then I'm sure they'll shift their attention to catching everyone who downloads music illegally.. And if that happens 99.9% of us are gonna get it.
Jemm_fml 29
Sorry, but I got bronchitis.
ColdplaySucks 18
They'll have no space in the jails, cause literally millions of people would be filling up space.
botanistjessica 24
This would be a fined crime, not likely jail time. And I shit you not, my freshman college roomate got a letter from the government warning her about pirating music and movies.
lilhellian 27
124 You never download that shit on campus.. The I.T. staff usually watches for that and report people..
42istheanswer 27
136, you can buy transmitters for ipod and mp3s and stuff like that for about $20 that plug into any headphone jack and play over the radio
NotGabe 28
Do you.. Have asthma.. Or something..
bfsd42 20
64, I jaywalk sometimes.
PandaKitteh 20
Your mom is a stupid hoe ;]
siberianhamster 17
In accordance with your profile text, i'd like to correct your spelling. A hoe is a farming tool.
PandaKitteh 20
*I'd. lol, I'm totally kidding. But tell that to Niki Minaj, not me ;3
Snowkeys 11
Well you didn't understand her reference to the song. You are a lucky sob to have never heard it before.
MelTheGreat 23
Hopefully the car isn't equipped with super bass.
pmadNess 16
All hoes are stupid. Inanimate object, no brain... They're at the mercy of the gardner.
fmyluff 7
I'm so so sorry:( I hope she at least pays for the extensive therapy you will need :/
TrueTriage 16
More than therapy OP will need a mental ward with a padded room by the time the drive is over. I shudder to think of Superbass, starships, and whatever that newer one is called bein played for 14 hours straight
IscoreOnU 19
My 12 hour drive to Missouri there and back consisted of my uncle listening to the most detailed account of Daniel Boones life you could ever here. Read by the most monotone voice ever. I swear I heard the same story 20 times. Glad I at least had pandora when I had signal.
ecfurry6 7
Why go to Michigan for Spring Break? It's freezing here.
evilplatypus 39
Probably to see family. Not everyone goes to Tijuana and gets sh!tfaced for spring break.
evilplatypus 39
20 - I'm not memorizing the rules regarding acceptable language for every website I comment on; it's far easier to just change a letter or two here and there.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
#32 he wasn't correcting you in anyway. It was a joke, which made me laugh.
OMGITSAKITTY 16
#6 i live in michigan and the only time i get cold is if its 10 degrees outside
Tupelo_Honey 30
Toss 'em in the garbage when she stops to go to the bathroom! Another 14 hours of endless Nicki Minaj will certainly drive you insane!!
Success4444 12
That's why God invented ear plugs and sleep.
Kruiser 16
I wouldn't dream your situation on my worst enemy! :( Good luck op!
nooshGol 15
Nicki Minaj, really? I'm not a fan at all, no offense to anyone that is. I've always thought her music was bad. Feel sorry for you OP.
Keerow 3
no one with any taste in music, people, fashion, class, rhetoric, or general pleasantness likes that "thing" for any reason...
primadonnagirl 13
don't go to Michigan it's 10 degrees here! at least nicki will heat it up a bit in there.
tatsumahyuu 5
Ahh the crap weather we know for michigan -_-
SavannaKautz 2
Its funny how you Americans think that 10 degrees is "freezing". Up in canada, we have had days where it has been -50.
HeadlessSparrow 20
That's just horrible. My gosh, why does she have to sing? And just tell me. WHY IS NICKI MINAJ A JUDGE ON AMERICAN IDOL? Every time she says something, it sounds like she's whining.
GingerNinja7 17
Asking why nicki manaj sings is like asking why satan is bad, there really is no way to explain it
4gethishit 4
American idol is shit now
greenfishbait 19
I'm not a fan of her music, but it doesn't exactly take a genius to judge whether or not someone can sing. It's fairly easy to determine if someone sounds like a dying cat.
A7XCamaro 19
So really she would be the best to judge, because she sounds like a dying cat.
greenfishbait 19
Exactly
junkman6 22
It could have been much much worse. Imagine if she decided to buy Justin beiber albums instead. I say count your blessings.
alphatoomega 21
Not THAT much worse. They both really suck.
junkman6 22
The call me maybe girl and Nikki Minaj are on the same level of suck but bieber and Taylor swift are prett much the worst out there right now. Sorry her nasally voice makes me want to pierce my eardrums with a whamo air gun.
