Today, I showed my grandma my new septum piercing. Her only response was, "I hope it gets infected and your nose falls off." FML

OP here. First of all, I'd like to let everyone know that I don't give a rat's ass about your opinion of septum piercings. That being said, I knew my grandma would not be happy about it but I did it anyway because I've wanted one for a long time. She did apologize shortly after saying this, and now she's gotten used to it! Yesterday when we were at a restaurant she reached over to fix it because it was crooked and has even shown me cute jewelry for it that she found online :)

sorry OP but this made me laugh however what were you expecting your grandma to say?

Sorry, OP. Your grandma went overboard and shouldn't have said that, but I can see where she's coming from. In all honesty, I personally think septum piercings look very trashy, as well as the meaning behind them don't help. But if it makes you happy, then I'm happy for you and you should do whatever you want without caring what anyone else says. Good luck, OP!

Older people are rarely quiet about their discontent. I don't really blame her on this one. I love piercings, but I have yet to see a septum piercing look good on someone. Maybe her choice of words was harsh, but she does have a point.

Sounds like something my grandmother would've said. I'm sorry she said that OP, it's unfair she did that to you and I can tell you I know the feeling. My grandmother always knit-picked how I looked when she was around

How does she have a point? Not liking it is one thing, a lot of people have different opinions especially on things like piercings. But to wish a horrible injury and deformity on someone, especially a family member that you have a relationship with is just sick and wrong! This is the type of thing that leads people to just stop visiting certain family members. Being actively malicious and just rude.

at leash you have a grandma whose willing to try to accept you for who you are, mine hates my 'edgyness' and seems to think each tattoo or piercing is killing my chances of being a decent person :/

lol, you think that's bad? My friend's mother thinks he's a devil worshiper because he's atheist and listens to death metal.

I'm inclined to agree with his mother on that one

My father-in-law thought I was into the occult because I wore black once. He also thought we were drug users and alcoholics because we wouldn't give him any money.

He's right you know. I mean of course, to each their own, but if you want to be an ugly show bull, more power to you. I'm with grandpa here. You be you but it's painful to look at. bring on the hate.
