Today, two days before I'm due to fly out to Russia on my first vacation, I caught my extremely over-protective mother trying to force the family dog to eat my passport. FML

Same thing different taste

The devil is in the details

Today, after cancelling work, arguing with my family, scrambling to pack my bags, speeding to the airport and filling in immigration forms to fly out to have a much needed holiday, I wasn't allowed to check in. My passport has less than 6 months away from expiration on it. Yes, that's a thing, apparently. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML

Today, I got a puppy. I just found out I can't bring it on the family trip. To save me the trouble of finding a friend to take her in, my mum handed her back to the pound. FML

Today, I finished filling the pages in my passport. Also today, my mom's cat urinated on my backpack, soaking my passport with rancid pee. I have visas that last 10 years and can't be moved to a new passport, so I have to keep this nostril-burning booklet. FML

The old switcheroo

Today, I was unable to go on my dream vacation because I thought I'd lost my passport. Feeling incredibly stupid, I had no choice but to watch my plane depart without me. Shortly after, my brother handed me passport, saying that since I wasn't going on my trip, I could use my refund to pay for his cat's surgery. My trip was non-refundable. FML

Today, I was heading out for my flight to Australia. I'd put a padlock on my luggage to keep my wallet and passport safe, only to realize way too late that I'd left the key at home. I couldn't get at my passport and ended up missing my flight and my whole vacation along with it. FML

Dogs with jobs

Today, my family got detained by airport security thanks to one of their dogs. It didn't even bark to indicate there was something wrong, though. It just kept sniffing my dad, probably because we had our dog with us in the car on the way there. FML

Today, my mother-in-law had concealed in her suitcase a kitchen knife and plastic bags of MSG, salt, and other seasonings (AKA unidentified white powder) because she doesn’t trust foreign food, and wanted to cook her own food on holiday. Airport security were not amused and we missed our flight. FML

Today, my mother locked me out of the house. Why? The dog and her needed some time to talk. FML

Today, my mother "borrowed" money from my stash to help pay for her vacation to the Dominican Republic. The same trip I'm not allowed to go on. FML

I've heard of "the dog ate my homework.".. But, "the dog ate my passport" is taking it to a whole new level.

I thought my mother was overprotective. =/ At least her version is freaking the hell out if she calls to check up on me and I don't answer my phone (usually because I'm sleeping - normal people aren't awake at 7am on a Saturday). If she did that to me I'd flip.

It's a good thing you're not taking her with you; because in Russia you over-protect her.

Just don't drive. There's a reason everyone in Russia has dash cams.

It's rude to write such things about Russia, as you people do. What makes you do that, I wonder? / Good vacations to the auther.

Meanwhile, in Mother Russia... the meteors pulverized my passport.

How would you even respond in a situation like that? and assuming the trip is already paid for, that would be a huge waste of money...

I guess the mother thinks that else she won't get her son back and that it's worth more than a passport and some money. Well, good trip to Russia, OP, I don't think it will be as bad as your mom thinks.
