Today, I was woken up to my mom playing the piano awfully. I screamed down the stairs "you suck, stop playing!" Turns out it was my 5 year old cousin playing a recital. For my entire family. FML

Today, I was playing piano for a wedding rehearsal. Bored, I decided to pass the time playing through a book of music I found in the piano bench. Some time later the bride turned to me and screamed at me to stop. I had turned the page and had begun to play "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off." FML

Today, my older brother called me ugly, and so I used the classic comeback ''It's not nice to talk about yourself like that." He responded by cutting the strings to my violin. FML

Today, I had my final piano performance. There is a guy in my class who constantly tells me I suck at piano, so I was looking forward to watching him play badly since he never practices. Instead, he played the most beautiful music that would make Mozart weep. He got a standing ovation. FML

Today, I sang a sweet lullaby to my two year-old son. In the process, he smacked me in the face and told me to please stop. My sister sings to him all the time and he loves it. FML

Everyone starts somewhere OP. Ignore him and keep practicing! Tell him he's lucky you didn't pick up a sax like me haha

The only way to get better is practice, practice, practice. Continue on playing.

It probably isnt because you are bad though. I ask my siblings to stop playing all the time and they are good. I just tire of the constant noise and need some peace.

And if your brother loved you he would let you continue.

At that moment you should've turned your head slowly at him, grinned menacingly, and then started mashing all the keys.

As a pianist myself with an upright at home, I agree that family will want you to stop. My advice: just try your best to be respectful to them, I'm not saying you aren't! Also, good luck! Keep working on it and your brother will eventually be amazed!

Practice isn't supposed to sound good, it's what gets you good :) Don't stop hammering out those repetitive monotone scales, OP! Your bro will learn to love it...I'm sure

Today, I woke up with a hangover and my girlfriend seemed pissed at me. It took me a while before I remembered having sex the night before. I just didn't know exactly what had happened after that had pissed her off. Then I realized nothing happened, because I fell asleep while she was on top of me. FML
