Money: Benefits

Benefits

By Fitz - 05/05/2009 12:22 - United States

Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML

Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML

Today, I told my parents I was thinking about joining the army. They looked at each other and laughed for about 10 minutes straight. I wasn't joking. FML

Today, my mom came over to me and whispered something in my ear. I didn't hear it and assumed it was a joke, so I started laughing. Turns out my aunt died. FML

Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML

Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML

Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML

To whoever said YDI for eavesdropping, stfu. Like you've never eavesdropped in your life, hypocrites. @ OP it really depends how they were planning on using it, but still, FYL. :/

That's unfortunate man. I would have confronted them about it. It seems a bit too early to even be talking about something like that considering you haven't even left yet. Even though we're all probably guilty of these thoughts, talking about it openly like that is inconsiderate. I'd tell them they're getting nothing.

Today, I was talking with my mother when I noticed my brother start listening in. He recently enlisted in the Marines, so I decided to screw with his head by joking about how to spend the money when he dies. FHL.

#97... Army = Hooah Marines = Oorah Airforce = Hooah (or Hooyah if you're a PJ) Navy = Hooyah Really, they're all mindless grunts, but he was correct in his usage. Semper Fi, would be more like a motto, just as "Rangers Lead the Way" only for the entire branch to promote Esprit De Corps.
