Today, I scored two prime baseball tickets from a supplier at work. I phoned my dad to tell him the good news. He said that's great, my brother and him would love to see the game. I said, no, I'm taking you to the game. He told me I was being selfish and hung up the phone. FML

Today, I was pouring my heart out to my dad about how I'm such a loser and how I have no friends. He listened sympathetically, until his phone buzzed with a text message. He said, "Balls, the guys from work wanna get shitfaced!" and took a rain check on me. FML

Today, I found out I have to give my father-in-law back the football tickets he gave me for my birthday. Why? His girlfriend decided she wanted to go. He didn't get me a different gift. FML

Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML

My life story

Today, I invited a friend that I hadn't seen a few years to a baseball game because I knew they're big baseball fans. They ended up trauma dumping on me for two hours.. FML

Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML

Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Today, I went to an amateur baseball game with some family and friends. When our team hit a home run, my grandpa took it upon himself to start screaming wildly, removing his prosthetic leg and waving it jubilantly in the air. FML

Baller move

By notafan - 07/08/2019 00:01 - United States

Today, I was at a baseball game. This kid in front of me had binoculars and was constantly shouting. Trying to amuse the girl next to me, I leaned over and said, "That kid probably has wet dreams about baseball." She got up and said to the kid, "Come on honey, we're leaving." FML

By saying "No, I'm taking you to the game," you weren't being selfish. You were being a jerk. It's up to him whether you take him to the game or not. He can choose not to go. You acted like you have a right to control what he does, which is not right at all. So whether or not his assessment was accurate, you did deserve to be taken down a notch for asserting that you will, whether he likes it or not, take him to the game.

I read it as the stress being on the 'I'm'. In an 'I'm going and I'd like to take you' way not a 'You ARE going to the game with me' way. That's not being a jerk, that's being totally fair. If I got tickets from work for a game or something then I would want to go - if I didn't then I wouldn't have tried to get them in the first place. If, however, I was buying the tickets as a birthday present and gave two to whoever they were for then it's fair enough for them to say 'oh I'm going to take your brother because they'll enjoy it more' if I desperately wanted to go then I'd give them one and tell them I had another to go with them.

All of those people at the stadium who can afford tickets and won't let anyone else go with them are just so selfish. [/sarcasm] I guess your dad isn't going to the game anymore.

You poor thing. FYL. I love [/sarcasm] how everyone's trolling, calling you selfish, pulling reasons why you're selfish out of no where. Your father has psychological issues if he's trying to push favoritism that far up your nose. =| Take someone else. You probably wouldn't enjoy it with him, anyway ...
