Kids: Thanks, son

Thanks, son

Today, I was supposed to catch a 4:40 flight to New York. My 5 year-old son handed me my carry on bag as I left the house. Turns out he had put his older brother's BB gun into my bag to "keep me safe." I missed my flight after I was detained and strip-searched. FML

Today, I was boarding my flight when I got pulled aside for looking suspicious. As she was opening my bag, I said, "Be careful, I jammed so many clothes in there it may explode." I was then strip searched for my trouble. FML

Today, after reading a sign at the airport, my 6-year-old son thought it would be funny to yell, "Daddy's got a bomb!" Airport security then tackled me to the ground. Oh, and I missed my flight and my mother's birthday. FML

Today, my 6-year-old son was so angry at me for not buying him overpriced candy at the airport that he told a security guard I had a machine gun in my suitcase. The interrogation was not pleasant. FML

Today, I missed my flight because I was stopped by airport security. They found "small, suspicious, spherical objects" in my purse on the X-ray. After pulling me out of line, taking my purse aside and carefully opening it with tongs, they removed the bag of grapes I had packed as a snack. FML

Today, after visiting my mom, she stuffed a bunch of pads in my backpack so I'd have some at my dorm. When I was going through security, I was stopped and ended up missing my flight. Apparently the jumbo pads my mom sent look exactly like packs of cocaine when they go through the X-ray machine. FML

The Covid who stole Christmas

By TCRII - 22/12/2020 08:09

Today, I picked up my 5 year-old son for Christmas break. We were on the way to the airport, talking about Santa and what we were going to do over the break when my fiancée called to tell me that she had been exposed to Covid-19. I took him home to his mom's and missed my flight. FML

Today, I was picking up my 10 year old step-son from the airport. He began screaming and crying saying that I wasn't his father. I ended up sitting in a holding room because the security guards thought I was kidnapping him. My wife thought it was hilarious. 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

Jamaica? I hardly know her

Today, my mom and I went to catch our flight to Jamaica. She ended up being detained and questioned, because she packed hairspray, shampoo, drinks, basically half the shit you're not allowed to have in your luggage. We missed our flight. FML

Today, while going through airport security the lady asked why I folded everything so small. I said that I was going away for a month and needed to fit a lot of stuff in only one bag. She smiled, nodded and then dumped my luggage to search for "drugs and other illegal teen things." FML

It sucks when kids do stuff like that, but they really don't know any better. Best is to tell them that they've done wrong, and hope that they won't do it again.

It was her older son's .. geez What if her older son was like 16 or 17. It's likely the older sibling left it out after use one day (as we all know teenage males aren't the best at cleanliness(coming from an 19 year old male)), and the 5 year old just went into his room and snatched it.

wow a lot of you people have it wrong. It WAS NOT HER bb gun, it was HER OLDER SONS. She should talk to her older son about responsibility and not leave the BB gun where his younger brother can get it, otherwise he will lose the BB gun. So I fail to see how she deserved it I think a lot of you on here are just douches with no soul thinking if something bad happens to them they deserve it. Younger kids do that thing they do not know any better! They just think it is right at that age! What are kids supposed to do now at 5yrs old? Have rational thoughts about everything, not every kid is the same jeez. BTW that is pretty cute though at least your son cares about you :)

You totally deserve that. Kids of any age shouldn't have BB guns. #65...guns encourage violence ...doesn't matter if it's a BB gun or a real gun. Why would a parent in 2009 encourage their children to be violent?

#73, i own an airsoft pistol that fires pellets so powerful that it makes you bleed when you get shot at. Yet, I'm not violent. Guns don't make people violent, people make people violent.
