Today, I called my parents from out of state to see if they would order me a pizza using their credit card online because I'm out of money. I haven't lived with them for the past year, and they still claim me as a dependent on their taxes. They said no. FML

If you're out of money, you should be asking your parents for money for groceries that will last a week or longer, not pizza that will only last a day and a half. How are you even managing to live on your own if you don't have any money, anyway? I don't really see the second to last sentence as being relevant; seems like you're just putting that there to say that your parents owe you.

Déjà vu. I could swear I've read this FML and these comments before. Weird. OP, are you at university or something? If you have a different permanent address for more than 6 months out of the year, I don't think they can legally claim you unless they can provide proof of support. I think YDI because I'm guessing they are sponsoring you in some way (rent, school, etc.) and you are upset pizza isn't part of the deal. If you want to be treated like a grown-up, act like one.

There's also a clause stating that if they make over a certain amount they can't be legally claimed either. I think it's $3200 or something like that. I can't remember, because I'm lucky enough to not have any dependants!

Well if OP is begging them for pizza money then it seems OP is still dependent on them.

Just because they can't "legally" claim him, doesn't mean they aren't going to do so anyway. My parents claimed me for as long as they could, even after I moved out.

put simply: I asked my parents for a pizza and they said no. woe is me, fml etc etc you've probably been demanding handouts from them your whole life and they've decided enough is enough. it's time to take care of yourself for once toots.

You haven't lived with them for over a year, you should be able to take care of yourself. Grow up.

If you are really broke, you shouldn't be ordering pizza. Thats how you run out of money. YTDI.

maybe OP lives in a dorm or something and can't really do much cooking. Anyway, doesn't the word dependent imply that he depends on them for the things he needs, like food?
