Today, I played a friendly prank on my dad, loosening the legs of his chair so it would fall apart when he sat on it. He responded by making me stand outside and watch as he keyed both sides of my car, front to back, as punishment. FML

Today, my dad forced me to take part in a pathetic act of revenge against our neighbors, who keep parking their 4x4 in front of our house. He made me stand watch while he kept trying to slash their tires. An hour later, we were waiting for my mom to bail us out of jail. FML
Today, I moved my dad's chair to look for my phone, but forgot to put it back. When my dad came back, he tried to sit down in the area where his chair usually is, but instead fell down on the floor, yelling, "YOU MOVED MY CHAIR!" FML
Today, a coworker and I pulled a April Fools' prank on our boss. She "borrowed" his keys and rolled down his window. I took a car window from a scrap yard and sprinkled it on the ground near his door. His response was to kick the nearest object in anger. The nearest object happened to be my car. FML
Today, my father took revenge on me for bankrupting him in a game of Monopoly. His revenge consisted of having a truckload of sand dumped in my driveway while I was at work. FML
Today, my dad got extremely drunk, so I took away his car keys and left on foot. When I came back, I saw that he had broken down my door. Now my dad is mad at me for not giving him the keys when he was drunk, and I'm door-less. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML
Today, I hit a parked car and did some damage, so I left a note. My dad called me a moron and, to teach me a life lesson, made me drive back to the car in case the owner hadn’t seen it yet, and remove the note. He actually threatened to smash my PlayStation if I came back without the note. FML
Today, my dad had fun embarrassing me as much as possible in my parent-teacher conference by moaning whenever the teacher talked. FML
Today, it's the third day of my dad's revenge after he snapped over me supposedly using the word "duh" in every other sentence. He got his hands on my old recorder and has been playing it loudly and out of tune outside my room when I try to do my homework. My mom thinks this is hilarious. FML
Today, I came home from school to find almost every single personal possession and piece of furniture from my bedroom all laid out or disassembled in the back yard. My dad smugly told me I'd better start moving it all back. This is his revenge for me salting his coffee this morning. FML

That is the proper way to parent your children. Now go file a police report and take him to small claims if he won't pay to have it fixed.

The dad probably bought the car the first place...

If its his dads car you can not force him to fix his own car.

Your dad can't take an joke & is an ass for keying your car. He should've just prank you back like scare you or something. Now you have to pay to get your car painted. I do wonder if he just made random marks or keyed actual words.

Taking it too far much?

please stop with the "much" crap.

#46 - who crapped in your cornflakes?

51 someone crapped in his corn flakes? Perhaps he should key their car.

46, it's a very common thing to say in Ireland.

I concur with the "much" business. instead of saying something once in a while people have to repeat it over and over. ("tell me again how...." "you mad bro?" "WTEQ" stupid ******* memes) and it's even worse on a thing like this when dozens of people have to repeat it. damn parrots. :)

OP, I don't get what you gain from committing these "pranks". YDI.

It wasn't even that bad, don't trip.

You obviously don't realize how much it costs to repaint a car(without depreciating the value)

OP only did one of them... The dad did the keying.

Both of you are jerks. nuff said

I'd have keyed his face once he went to sleep
cryssycakesx3 22
hurting him will help.

your dad is a bamf

Wow...someone has a short fuse. Before he goes to work let the air out of his tires. Things like that are harmless, yet your father had to go the extra mile to be a dick, and for what? So you pay for a new painting on your car?

Causing a chair to break as a person sits down is not remotely harmless, because falling to the ground without any way of breaking your fall or any control over where you're landing isn't remotely harmless.
Pstraka6 20
I was referring to letting air out from his tires
cryssycakesx3 22
yes letting the air out is harmless but you followed it up with "yet your father had to be a dick..." implying to the reader that what he did was harmful.
Mr_Mole 24
Keying a car is just as harmless as letting his tyres down. No one got hurt by it. Both are idiotic pranks played by morons. Letting a tyre down can break the side wall and make the tyre unsafe too.
Googolman 29
The spelling is TIRE. Common sense.
BobbieH 19
Letting down the tires isn't necessarily harmless. As mentioned the sidewall can be damaged as can the rim. As well as being late to work can have negative consequences too. His father could end up being docked pay, withheld promotion or even fired.

I hope you're not planing to prank your dad on April fools. That might result in your dad slashing your tires & busting your windows.

My thought is that if your dad is crazy enough to key your car then he really doesn't seem like the kind of guy that you would even consider joking around with. So I would have to say YDI. Otherwise, if you had no idea that he would react like this, then FYL.
