Today, my dad forced me to leave my empty shopping cart in the middle of a store, rather than return it to the corral. My dad’s word is law, and all I can think about is how much of an asshole I am. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom yelled at me for trying to return a shopping cart to the cart corral. She then forced me to leave it in the parking lot. FML
Today, while shopping, my dad asked me to walk further away from him, saying I was cramping his style in front of all the chicks there. FML
Today, my dad yelled at me for being irresponsible while he watched me fold his laundry. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping when I left my cart to grab an item. I returned, and started pushing the cart again. Halfway through the store, a furious lady confronted me, demanding her cart back. I had to walk back in shame to find my own actual cart, which was now nowhere to be found. FML
Today, my dad is infuriating by increasingly asking me to do things around the house, but because he doesn’t like how I do them he yells at me and then does it himself. It’s almost like he cares more about inventing excuses to yell at me than he does to actually get things done. FML
Today, I was in a store with my dad. He completely lost his temper and began yelling at the store owners. For some reason, he then removed his shirt in protest. FML
Today, I visited my dad. He gave the, "You live under my roof, you follow my rules" lecture since I didn't do my "chores". I moved out 3 years ago. FML
Today, my dad is trying to kick me out to become homeless, because it’s my goal to become a police officer, and since he’s served prison time I’m now scum in his eyes and a disgrace to our family. FML
Today, I told my son he couldn't have a toy. He threw a fit, looked me in the eye, and screamed, "Daddy's right! You are a bitch!" The whole store was watching. FML
Today, my mom was going to take me shopping to buy a gift for my dad’s birthday, but unfortunately, I missed a spot while cleaning the kitchen. Now my mom is “embarrassed to be seen with me in public” and will buy my dad nothing, and tell him it’s because I don’t love him. FML

That's no big deal. An asshole would load up the cart with ice cream and ditch it in the pet food aisle.

Why are you worried about that? Carts left in the store are no big deal, shoppers will grab them and use them pretty fast. Generally people are more worried if you leave it in the middle of the parking lot.

As a retail worker, I confirm that that is indeed a million times worse than leaving an empty shopping cart in the middle of an aisle. Don't worry too much, op!

Honestly, there have been probably a dozen times I walked in thinking I needed one item but needed a cart mid store. I LOVE finding a stray empty cart. Don't fret OP. Empty carts can be used (and when I worked retail, it helped me toss in misplaced items on my walk to the front!)

Grow some balls... You're your own person and can choose whether or not to be just as shitty as your dad.

I assume they're still living in their parents house. From the sounds of this, the dad would kick the kid out for just having a differing opinion than him.

Hate that for you, my mom bitches me out for not running red lights in light traffic so I feel your pain.

Hey, you're listening to your dad and that is not an asshole-ish thing to do
