Today, while staying at my brother's place for the Christmas holidays, I had to leave because he threatened to "take me outside". Apparently he doesn't like being corrected on whether a certain car has a long wheel base version, so I guess the family Christmas is over. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as my brother parked in our hotel's parking lot, I told him to be careful because the car wasn't straight. He retorted, "Yeah, just like you". My mother was in the back seat and heard everything. I hadn't come out yet. FML
Today, I sit isolated from my family with presents I cannot give. Though I respect my brother's religious beliefs and life ideals, he chooses to hate mine. He has gone out of his way to refuse patching up our relationship and now my parents who are at his house are not answering their phone. "Merry X-mas…" FML
Today, what should have been a nice family dinner ended with my wife standing over me, staring me dead in the eyes, while endlessly repeating, “Get him out of my house, get him out of my house…” until I agreed to take my drunk brother to a hotel to sleep it off. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, my screw-up brother turned up at my house, expecting to move in rent free. Apparently, mom kicked him out and sent him to me. He's a freeloading demon, who's almost impossible to get rid of, so I told him to get lost and locked my door. Now my mom calls every 5 minutes to call me a selfish asshole. FML
Today, while at work at a new job, my brother comes and takes my car. Along with all my money, my phone, and whatever else I had in my purse. His message to me through one of my co-workers was "walk home." FML
Today, my brother is about to move to a new house, all because last week I played a prank on him. I made him believe that I crashed my car and had to sell his things to pay for the damage. He's no longer talking to me, or acknowledging me as a sibling anymore. FML
Today, I got yelled at for staying in my room too long; got yelled at for going out of my room; got yelled at for staying at a friend's place. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

that was kind of a stupid argument

One does not just google during an argument. You defend your point to the death, even if there's a chance you're wrong. It's Christmas tradition.

That's a little silly. Hopefully it'll all blow over!

How dare OP insult his manly man masculinity by know one thing more about cars, the manliest man thing of all.

That reminds me of Sheldon Cooper

Yeah, it really is a stupid argument. Though I would like to know what car they were talking about.

don't take it personal. A lot of guys hate being corrected.

Exactly 3, because if OP sibling in question was a sister, this never would have happened. Males and females never disagree, especially if they're siblings

Don't* you forgot to capitalize the "d" at the beginning of your first sentence.

Grammar Nazi much?

^^^Trying to add to my comment. A misspelled word, I can understand, but really, a word that isn't capitalized is not going to destroy the world. It's a free country for #3.

A decent guy, however, will look over his facts a second time.

#19 - Actually, male and female siblings disagree a lot. When I disagree with my brother, I get in trouble and he doesn't. I will never understand how that works.

#46 I don't think you understood the joke...

Couldn't you just type it in on google to see?

#9, and even when you know you're wrong, you still keep defending yourself. Surrender is not an option.

Sounds like FML.

#15, no, it doesn't ;)

What a silly reason to kick someone out for.

Well that's very unreasonable. Hopefully he will get over it for your family's sake.

Someone had their egg nog spiked a little too much

Not many Australians drink egg nog. It's usually VB or Tooheys (Aussie beer, btw).

I'd rather drink egg nog. And if I was to drink beer! I'd prefer Tasmanian beer. :-p

People get worked up for the craziest reasons. Give it some time and see if it calms down.

I have a brother like that. Every year he would start a fight with someone (usually a different person every year). Finally enough became enough. My parents and I decided that the best thing would be to have our holiday celebration WITHOUT him. So we don't invite him any more. The holidays are much more peaceful now, and you'd be amazed by how much we DON'T miss him. Sometimes even close family members need to be cut out of your life.

I couldn't agree more. Some family just can't act nice for the holidays and then they'll just ruin it for everyone else.

He just didn't like you pointing out his short "wheel base*" to everyone. *we all know what "wheel base" means in this context ;)
