Today, I scored two prime baseball tickets from a supplier at work. I phoned my dad to tell him the good news. He said that's great, my brother and him would love to see the game. I said, no, I'm taking you to the game. He told me I was being selfish and hung up the phone. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was pouring my heart out to my dad about how I'm such a loser and how I have no friends. He listened sympathetically, until his phone buzzed with a text message. He said, "Balls, the guys from work wanna get shitfaced!" and took a rain check on me. FML
Today, I found out I have to give my father-in-law back the football tickets he gave me for my birthday. Why? His girlfriend decided she wanted to go. He didn't get me a different gift. FML
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I invited a friend that I hadn't seen a few years to a baseball game because I knew they're big baseball fans. They ended up trauma dumping on me for two hours.. FML
Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML
Today, I called out of work, making an elaborate claim my wife was sick, and that I HAD to stay home to take care of her, because I have never played hooky from work before. That afternoon, at a minor league hockey game as I'm buying a hotdog with my wife, my boss from behind me asked, "How's the fam?" FML
Today, my dad was given 2 VIP tickets to see my favourite band in concert next week. You can now find them on eBay. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, I went to an amateur baseball game with some family and friends. When our team hit a home run, my grandpa took it upon himself to start screaming wildly, removing his prosthetic leg and waving it jubilantly in the air. FML

25: wow. Your a smart one. You must be about 10 years old. OP means original poster, kid. Don't use words you don't understand, kid. If you won tickets to something nice, you might want to go, and I think it's nice that he wanted to take his father.

i agree with 99 i can easily see this happening with my sister and my dad. me and my dad love baseball and my sister doesnt care for it, though she would prob want to go to the game.

Wow that's definitely something that my dad would (and has) done. I asked him if we could go to a game together last summer and he got a set of tickets for him and my brother, and for another game, me, him AND my brother. And when I got upset because I wanted to spend some time with just him like my brother got to he told me the same thing. There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend quality time with your dad, but I guess some dads think that way.

I can't even believe people are saying that you were being selfish or a jerk. You get tickets to a game and invite your dad, so he just assumes you wouldn't want to go and he can invite someone else using your tickets, and people are mad at you for saying no? I would've done the same thing! I agree with some other posters though. Take your brother now, or better yet, take anybody who likes baseball and would actually appreciate the game. You'll have more fun there without your dad anyway since he's obviously a complete asshole.

"Yes, I'm sure -name of brother- would LOVE to see the game. I just wanted to see if you could pick up the groceries I was supposed to get that day." And hang up =) But, seriously... Take your brother or your mom to the game, lol. That will be a kick in the balls.

#99 - are you ******* serious? if it's a girl it's okay for her dad to want to take tickets she won to go to a game? OP, your dad sucks. You should take someone else that you think you'll have a lot of fun with and take lots of pics (:

#25 oh yes i bet you would definitely give up the tickets YOU won to your brother and dad (if you have one) and not go at all. that's just the acceptable thing to do. (sarcasm) idiot... your dad is a jerk
