Sports, Awkward, Parents and Love: Catch!

Catch!

By Jaxter - 18/03/2009 05:41 - United States

Today, I was walking up to girlfriend's house when her terrifying Marine Corps dad threw a football at me. Not being very athletic, I surprised myself by catching it. He gestured for me throw it back and I watched it spiral wildy to the left and hit my girlfriend's mom in the face. FML

Today, my first time meeting my girlfriend's dad ended with him chasing me from his house and trying to hit me with a baseball bat. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's dad at a tennis game. I could tell he despised me from the start, but it only got worse when I played him. He smashed the ball at me and I went to hit it, but I missed and fell over, tearing my arm up on the gravel. He had a smirk on his face for the rest of the day. FML

Today, my girlfriend dragged me along to one of her family's paintball matches. Her father is a former marine, and hates my guts. He kept going well out of his way to hunt me down and pump as many rounds into me as possible without causing a scene. FML

Today, I was sneaking over to my girlfriend's house. I sent her mother a text message thinking it was my girlfriend saying "There's a stalker coming in to make you his play mate ;]" Unfortunately when I got to her window I was greeted by her dad with a bat. FML

Today, I was kicking my soccer ball with my father. My mom pulled out in the car without checking and ran into to me. FML

Today, while at a football game, I had my arm around my girlfriend. We were really close and I was just about to kiss her when suddenly her phone rang. It was her dad, telling her he's watching. FML

Today, I was walking my girlfriend to class when my friend came by and playfully punched me in the arm. Trying not to look like a wimp, I turned around to hit him in the arm. Instead, I ended up punching a girl in the face. Now my girlfriend won't talk to me and I'm suspended. FML

Badass

Today, in a sporting goods store, my mom was over on the other side of the store, when a cute guy came over to talk to me. When she saw this she grabbed a bat, walked over to us and said, "If you ever even look at my daughter again, I will beat you shitless." She was serious. He ran. FML

Today, after soccer practice I was looking for my dad. Last night he was an hour late, so I was pretty pissed. When I spotted him, I saw him flirting with a much younger woman. I then tried throwing my soccer ball to his feet, but ended up slamming his head. Only to find out he wasn't my dad. FML

Today, my best friend threw my football over a wall, so we hopped over to go and get it. Next thing we know, we're both surrounded by men pointing guns in our faces. FML

I sympathize. I'm a girl. I'm straight. However, I have the football-catching abilities of a sack of flour. Throwing is something I am even worse at. I feel bad for you because her scary father is probably going to get a whole lot scarier after this instance :(

@#72: Be nice to nerds. Chances are, they'll be determining what your next paycheck is going to be. If you're good now, maybe we won't use our super-nerdy skills to ruin your life later. My point is, unless you play a professional sport, your success in life probably isn't going to be determined by your athleticism. If you are athletic, great. If you aren't, great; you're better at something else.

You're a manly man, ain't ya? Hahaha. At least take consolation in the fact that her dad was attempting to bond with you sorta. Good luck.

Yeah #47, there's nothing more manly than dressing up in spandex and rolling around on a sweaty mat, groping and feeling every curvature to another man's body, than having a nice steamy group shower with the team and maybe even being lucky enough to have a nice game of grab-ass. Oh wait, that's what we call gay.

#81, good for you. You'll be the idiot taking orders and getting a shitty paycheck while I relax on a beach in Bermuda with my six figure income. Anyone who joins to serve in the Military is a ******* retard. Sorry, it's true. Enough of this patriotism bullshit. You're a slave who's given up all his freedoms to protect the political interests of corrupt politicians and corporations.

**** you and your life experiences. I hope you get PTSD. What exactly will your life experiences be that will be so much better than mine? Seeing people and things get blown up? Wow! What a positive life experience! Hah, I hate you young idiots that think you're actually doing something important when in actuality you aren't.

GrimGreen, I saw a bumper sticker that reminded me of you and I thought I would share with you what it said. If you don't stand behind our troops, please feel free to stand in front of them. :)

All you military guys, thank you. You guys made a brave choice to serve, and while it is certainly not right for everybody, I respect you all and thank you for the sacrifices you make. Anyone on here, or anywhere else for that matter, who bashes the military, should be banned from enjoying the American freedoms they have secured for the rest of us.

What freedoms has our current military secured for us? Answer that for me. Also, your suggestion is ******* retarded. Banning someone for bashing the military is contradictory to what the military supposedly secured for us. If you're too dumb to understand that, don't bother responding.
