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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The only way I could see the father assuming that the OP was giving him both tickets were if the OP had little interest in baseball and the father and his other son loved baseball. No matter what the original circumtances were, once the father realized that his son (the OP) wanted to go with him to the game, he shouldn't have called him selfish. If the father wants to go to that game that badly with his other son, he can buy his own damn tickets and take him.

54: "I'm taking you to the game" was clearly more an offer/statement of intent than a command. 99: X and Y are chromosomes. XX and XY are genotypes. Good thing being XY and too stupid to understand sports gives me more time to learn things like how to bake and rear children, or the really basic genetics I was taught in school when I was fourteen. 142: People like to get angry. It's fun, admittedly. Trolling gives people something to be angry at. So really, you''re spreading the joy.

Wow, I never knew people had parents like this until I found this site and started reading stories like these. Sad. Hank (OP), if you like baseball then go with someone that you would enjoying being there with. If you don't really care about going after this, try to sell the tickets and buy something for yourself. Hey... you could try selling them to your dad. Of course you'd need to charge him the full face price plus an extra fee for being such an a-hole. I hope you post back and let us know what you ended up doing.

What a prick. Don't ever get him anything or invite him anywhere again.

Go by yourself and place your bucket of popcorn next to you. Then take a picture of you and your popcorn cheering, and show it to your dad.
