Today, my mom was in the kitchen when her shirt caught on fire. Acting quickly, I poured my glass of water on her. Instead of thanking me, she yelled at me for making a mess. FML

Today, I was pouring boiling water into a cup, and I accidentally spilled it all over my hand. My mother responded by slapping me for getting water everywhere. My hand is scorched red, but thanks, I love you too, mother. FML

Today, my mother called me urgently from the kitchen. Thinking she was hurt, I ran to her as fast as possible. She threw a wet cloth at my head and ran away, laughing her face off. FML

Today, my mom said my name and startled me so badly, I jumped and dropped the glass I was holding. She still isn’t speaking to me for breaking her favorite glass. FML

Today, I don't know which is worse: my brother cramming all his sauce bottles into a fridge door shelf that exploded onto the floor when I opened the fridge, or my mother being mad at me because I was upset about slicing open my finger while cleaning up the broken glass and my hand now burns. FML

Today, I washed the dishes for my mom while she was out, as they seemed to be piling up. I accidentally sliced my hand with a knife in the process. After a trip to the hospital, it was revealed she'd been leaving those dishes there "to teach dad a lesson." FML

Today, I remembered my mom got her carpet cleaned and to be careful while she was at work. To be nice, I vacuumed the whole house. Feeling proud of myself, I got a drink and went upstairs. I tripped and spilled red Kool-Aid all over the floor. FML

Today, I was at home, my mom came and saw me holding what she thought was a glass of beer. She took the glass, threw it and slapped me for drinking it. I was drinking Apple Juice. FML

Today, while relaxing in the kitchen drinking coffee, my dad suddenly rushed in, knocking me over and causing me to spill boiling hot coffee all over myself. Then, my dad thought it would be a good idea to grab the sprayer from the sink and douse me with cold water in order to "put me out." FML

Today, our house caught fire. While trying to help my mom get to safety, the word "fuck" accidentally escaped my mouth. Once we were safe, she said I was grounded for swearing. I'm 19. FML

Ungrateful bitch, she should be happy you saved her from severe injury.

Should have just let her burn.

Ask her if she would have preferred you let her burn, don't actually threaten to do so (or actually do so) if the same thing happens again, just point out that you saved her considerable harm and that doing so was worth a little mess.

You should've thrown lighter fluid on her.

You should have yelled at her for catching fire, and when she tells you that makes no sense, tell her so does the fact that you're yelling at me after I saved your life

What the hell is with you people? "Let her burn?" Uhh no. You would be screaming just to scream if your ass was on fire. It was the mothers first reaction so you can all shut up and thumb me down to hell. But seriously.... On the other hand, I know some of you weren't serious but still.

You said I could thumb you down, so I did.

^ Actually, I thumbed Puddin up, as I agreed with him (her? Sorry, didn't check.) I don't know many tough guys that wouldn't scream and flail if you set their ass on fire, myself definitely included, so I don't blame Op's mother for freaking out a bit. It's a normal enough reaction. :)

Maybe you interrupted her protest self-immolation. Or maybe she was doing her Katniss impression and the OP ****** it up before her chariot ride. You never know what pyromaniacs want!

It must happen to her all time she must be a pro to put the fires out

I think her screaming has something to do with the fact that she lives in New Jersey.

You know when I first read this I thought it said shit not shirt lol well to me seems like your mom didn't want to come to terms she was stupid and caught on fire so she scape goats you to avoid her real situation. Happens to me all the time.. Well the scape goat thing not the shirt caught on fire.
