Today, my mom asked me to look through old VHS tapes to throw away, I found one that said "Ashley's kindergarten Play - '95", I put the tape in, it began to play, only to see "Days of our lives", "Melrose Place", and "ER". My childhood memories are ranked lower than TV shows. FML

Today, I showed my girlfriend some old home videos of me as a kid. My dad must have taped over one though, because halfway through it cut to extremely graphic footage of his colonoscopy. FML

Old school

Today, our internet is down so I told my daughter to watch a DVD instead. She looked at me dead in the face and asked what a DVD was. To think I even remember VHS tapes. Damn I’m getting old. FML

Memories

By joanne - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I found a video of a school play I starred in years ago. I was ecstatic, because it's really the only memento of my childhood I have left. Unfortunately, it started with my grandpa groaning, "Ahh shit," and degenerated into him muttering over the audio about "those fucking commies." FML

Trigger warning

Today, I'm watching another teen TV show, taking me back to my childhood, which sucked in a million ways, being the poorest and ugliest nerd with an evil father. I never enjoyed a day of my childhood, teenage or school. Grades were a life and death situation, because education was the only way out of that hell hole. FML

Today, while watching TV at my mother's house, a tornado warning came across the screen. After being in the dark, nasty basement for half an hour, my mom realized she was watching a recorded show, and that tornado warning was for 2 weeks ago. FML

Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML

Today, I was watching TV with my grandpa, and he stopped flipping channels on a movie with a hot naked chick getting oiled down. Suddenly the remote landed on my stomach as my mom and grandma walked in. They yelled at me for being a pervert, while my grandpa sat and chuckled. FML

Today, I went searching for my old school laptop only to find that my stepdad had swiped it and given it to his mother. My sex tapes and nudes are on it. FML

Today, my dad called me for the first time in weeks. All he wanted to tell me was that Ashlee Simpson got fired from Melrose Place. Then he hung up. FML

Today, I was babysitting a 5 year old boy. When I was on the phone with my mom, he called 911 and started to cry. When I got off the phone the police were at the door. It turns out that the "emergency" was that the VCR was not working. FML

Oh come on. Unless you've wanted to be an actor your entire life, do you really need to see you in your kindergarten play? ER and Days of Our Lives aren't exactly amazing television but they're probably better than your play was. This isn't really worthy of an FML.

It isn't about her ever wanting to be an actor. It's just that she's offended to find that her mum didn't keep something that she could watch later about herself. I enjoy watching videos of my childhood, as I imagine most people do.

I mean my dad taped over part of my parent's wedding video with an old scifi movie where the spaceship was on a string!

Maybe they converted the VHS to CD so they could free up the tape for recording stuff

....Not enough videos? And why would your parents need to tape a TV show? Buy them a few tapes for their anniversary, birthday, or whatever.

I would be delighted if my mother taped over any home movie I appear in. Home movies are just so awful, and embarassing and usually boring.

Oh boo hoo. This would have to be the first time you've ever checked the tape. It's obviously not all that important to you. Your parents love you enough to attend and tape the play, so what if it's been recorded over.
