Today, I struggled through a one hour traffic jam to get to the airport to pick up my dad who was just coming back from an overseas trip. I got there only to find that he had given me the wrong date, and I had to drive home. Best part? I have to do it all over again tomorrow. FML

Today, I spent six hours driving between two airports to try and catch my flight. Two trailer accidents, two construction zones, three detours, and one police escort later, the airline wouldn't let me on the plane. FML
Today, as a good friend, I went to pick up my buddy from the airport. I arrived at the wrong terminal and waited for an hour before realizing he had landed an hour earlier at the other terminal. By the time I found his whereabouts, he'd already taken an Uber home. FML
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Today, I dropped my father-in-law's friend off at the airport, and I got in trouble because he ended up missing his flight. He only missed it because he forgot to check in. FML
Today, I picked up a passenger from the airport who insisted he was late. Drove fast, dropped him off, felt efficient, then noticed his phone on the back seat. After circling trying to find him, I ended up back at the airport, where he was waiting because I’d taken him to the wrong terminal. FML
Today, due to a scheduling error, I spent an entire day and night in an airport, over 30 hours in total. Just as I arrived at the gate, I was informed that my flight had been delayed for another 2 hours. FML
Today, I woke up at 3am to catch my flight back home, only to realize that my flight was pushed back 14 hours. FML
Today, it's my 6-year anniversary with my fiance, but due to a lot of different family issues, I had to drive 9 hours with my dad to go visit them. Long story short, there was a giant argument about bread, my dad stormed out and I'm left to deal with this shit storm. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, I got fired. By my father. He wants me to drive him to work tomorrow. FML

Why don't you just stay at the airport for 24 hours? You could get all your Christmas shopping done at all those intriguing and fairly-priced stores at the airport. If you don't celebrate Christmas, just give people gifts for no reason. They'll think you are insanely great.

OR "forget" to pick him up tomorrow and when he calls, just say he told you the wrong date. He does the crime, he does the time.

Oh come on, the dad probably just messed up, if it was an accident then there's no need to extract revenge by abandoning him at an airport

OP deserves it for not double checking the arrival date. On the bright side, OP will definitely know what route not to take and maybe the traffic won't be as bad the next day.

Send a taxi. Nothing says "I care" like sending a stranger to take care of your dad.

Hmmmm. I detect sarcasm. If the OP sent a smokin' hot prostitute to "take care" of her dad, THAT would say "I care" like nothing else (and also not telling Mom.)

One hour isn't that bad... I can get to my local airport in one hour with great traffic.
