Today, I bumped into my parents at the mall. They didn't tell me they were around. I live 5,000 miles away, in a different country from them. FML

If they were surprising or planning on surprising op, why is this on FML??? Think about that, obviously it's not a good thing.

#20, I figured with the idiotic "much" construct, I might as well complement that with the equally idiotic YOLO. As to your philosophical question, I'd say that with modern medical technology, you might live more than once, so YOLO just establishes a minimum. Do you care to refute that?

You havent been on FML long enough to understand perdix's humour. Haha d:

23: the "only" implies no more than once. To establish a minimum, you would want "at least". Therefore, you probably wanted the lesser used YLALO.

YLALO? Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, when my class of 2 year olds try to say 'yellow'.

They were probably going to surprise you, OP. Ive done that before to cousins and such d: its enjoyable to see their reactions.

Enjoyable for whom? Personally I hate surprise visits and people dropping in uninvited. It is selfish of the visitor to assume that I can and will drop everything to accommodate their whim.

I'm sure they were going to end up surprising you anyways!

I'd say them, if it was their intention to drive or fly 5,000 mi to visit their child on a whim for a surprise visit. That'd be pretty cool of them. If that wasn't their intention, then yup. They might be assholes.

maybe you left an impression of the country on them and they went on vacation. I don't expect my parents to tell me where they go.

I don't expect my parents to tell me where they go either, but I would expect them to at least give me a call or something, when they come to my town, assuming my town is not their town. And given the 5000 miles I think it's either quite rude not to say anything or, as often suspected, surprise visit gone wrong. But wouldn't they tell you that, once you bumped into them?

33, that's a fair enough closing statement, one I hadn't considered. If it was a surprise visit gone wrong, chances are they would've mentioned it before this FML was ever written.
