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, 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 :(

Good. Luckily you have a much more higher chance of that happening to yourself. +1 for me.

#8 and #11, ahahahaah. You guys made my day. And seriously, to all the people going on about how this is fake because everyone can throw a football, shut up. Just because he doesn't like football, or doesn't have the skills in it that you do doesn't make this post fake, and most definetly doesn't make him gay. And honestly, maybe he can throw a football, but it was just a bad throw he gave? Grow Up. And to the poster of this FML, Good luck with every other time you see her parents. :] I would think that they forgave you for it though, you apologized, right?

K pal. Don't be such a **** about the grammar, that's a surefire way of admitting you have no other argument and are just pussyfooting your way around my points. You can hide under the pretense of "honor and dignity" all you want. You're still a meat shield for the government and it's sponsors. The fact that you are joining to serve after being exposed to the bullshit that was the Iraq War, shows to me that you are no better than the criminals we have in our governmental chairs. Anyone who joins the military to help our current corrupt government is not beneficial in any way. In fact, you are detrimental to the recovery of this country. Also, I don't think joining the military is a death sentence. It's just a waste of time. You have a higher chance of "getting your head shot off" than me.
