Today, I received a late Christmas present from my estranged father. I was really excited, having neither seen nor heard from him in nearly two years. It was a $200 gift card for a store that only exists in Canada. I don't live in Canada. Not even close. FML

Today, I received the Christmas gift I bought for my sister in the mail. I also received a nearly $200 bill for shipping fees, taxes, etc. for a $50 blanket from Canada. FML

Today, I finally got a Christmas gift, a calligraphy set, for my father that I have been looking for for a month. My dad came home happily with the same calligraphy set today, saying that he surprised himself for Christmas. He got it cheaper than me. FML

Today, my father came back from a business trip in Canada. He handed me an "I Love Canada" pen. He brought back an Xbox 360 for my younger brother. FML

Today, I opened my Christmas present from my parents. I got a road-side assistance package. I don't own a vehicle, and I don't even have a driver's license. FML

Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML

Today, my boyfriend decided to give me my Christmas present early because he's going to his grandparents' house for Christmas and won't see me. I was excited, until I unwrapped a sweater that I left there a month ago. FML

Today, my Dad came home with a $500 jacket that he'd bought himself for Christmas. I'd bought him the same one, and it's non refundable. FML

Here's a thought. Is it possible he lives in Canada and can no longer drive. Or just possibly a way to get u to come see him and make amends?

Well, I'd say it's pretty obvious he does live in Canada. As for the rest... *shrug*

Firstly, be happy you got a gift in the first place. At least he was thinking of you. Secondly, it's called online shopping. Stop bitching and appreciate what you're given.

Did it occur to you that it might be a store that doesn't even exist anymore in Canada?

If you haven't talked to him in almost two years, you should just be grateful he got you anything at all. He probably doesn't know where the stores are. $200 is a lot of money, don't be a bitch and say thank you. He didn't have to bother at all. What did you get him? Use it online or trade it in.

Agreed, OP is a dumb bitch. He somehow got a $200 gift card to them, he is obviously aware of what country they live in. Forgetting that a store only exist is Canada, or not being aware of where it exist is not really that big of mistake. This should not be a FML and the OP is an ungrateful asshole.
