Today, my parents, who are divorced, were arguing over who has to pay for my bus pass. They decided they wouldn't pay unless the other one did too. Neither will pay the £60 it'll cost for my bus pass. I now have to walk to school every day, in freezing winter weather. It's 9 miles. Each way. FML

1) It's snowing some places, so "winter weather" is not an unreasonable thing to say. 2) £60 is over 100 USD. Not necessarily that easy to come by, especially if... 3) OP may be a young kid with limited options. 4) Your parents totally suck. You could buy a pretty cheap bike and ride to school. And if you don't have the money, shovel snow (if there's snow) or do some silly jobs until you can afford a cheap solution.

Clearly his mom lives downhill from the school and his dad lives uphill... Either that or you're not familiar with the expression and don't understand #69 was being sarcastic.

people are retarted. it cannot be uphill both ways unless the ground suddenly shifted while you're at school.

You're exactly right! Now if we could just get you to understand those postings were sarcastic we'll be all set.

That's like 90 bucks in US dollars, not very expensive...

This FML is bullshit. Nobody would walk 18 miles a day. Nobody. Not even George ******* Lopez. How about you smelly vaginas quit arguing over something that isn't even real. I hate Sarah Buckner. And Don't call me tonight.

currently it's about double. i know because i travel to london often, and it's expensive. so it would be about £120

Dayum, that's nothing. "Back in my day, I had to walk barefoot in the snow even in summer to school. It was FIFTEEN miles uphill both ways! And I didn't have a backpack, no! I had to carry all my books with my frostbitten hands!"
