Animals, Cats, Allergies and Health: Caturday surprise!

Caturday surprise!

By Cats...FML - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, it's my sister's birthday. My parents got her a cat. I have serious allergies when it comes to cats. When I brought this issue up with my parents, they replied, "This day is not about you, it's about your sister." I can feel my throat tightening already. FML

Today, my family went on vacation. I had to stay home to take care of everyone's animals. I called my mom, who said she was too busy to talk to me. When my sister asked her who was on the phone, she replied, "The dog sitter." FML

Today, it's my birthday. I had asked my parents for a keyboard, and I was really excited to open the massive box they gave me. It was a computer keyboard. I've been playing piano for 11 years. FML

Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML

Today, my sister went into early labor. Instead of telling me, my mom turned to my dog and said, "Guess what? You're going to be an uncle!" Our dog ranks higher than me in our family's metaphorical food chain. FML

Today, I woke up to find both my sisters standing over me. One of them punched me in the balls, then dragged me out of bed by my feet. The other poured a jug of ice cold water over me, while the other kicked me in the balls again, from behind this time. They yelled, "Happy birthday." FML

Today, Christmas got cancelled this Saturday because of my narcissistic sister being upset that the guest list has two of her old friends, who are now my friends. It's my first Christmas with my family or friends in 23 years, and my mum even offered her a separate dinner on the 25th, but nope. FML

Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML

Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday. She decided that her "gift to herself" would be to leave the loser who has been holding her back for two years. Hello, my name is Ben, and I'm that loser. FML

On your birthday ask for something your parents are allergic to.

What the **** is wrong with parents these days?! Its FMLs like this that make me sooo angry. I think it is safe to assume that with such neglegent parents, you don't have an epipen or an inhaler, so when you can no longer breathe, make sure you call 911- bypass your parents entirely- and take a nice little trip to the ER. Tell the paramedics and doctors WHY you cant breathe. And enjoy your stay. Your lovely parents can foot the bill ;)

My dad and sister have allergies to cats & we have one After a while it won't affect you as much. Just make sure the cat doesn't sleep with you because that is when it can be the worst.

On the day after her birthday, bring it up again. They'll have to make some other excuse, and then you can tell them how hurt you are because they think your sister is more important than your health.

So wait until midnight to go into anaphylactic shock. Or invest in benadryl and vacuum often. Your parents are enormous jerks.

My dad and sister are both allegic to cats but we still have 2. We let them into out garage and usually keep it cracked so they can have shelter from rain/cold/heat, but they never come in the house. If you take care of it, it probably wont leave. Still, that sucks.
