Today, I spent 2 hours making the perfect card for my dad for Father's Day. When I handed it to him, he smiled and said "Thank you" and then killed a fly with it. I found it in the trash a couple of hours later. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my dad found the Father's Day present that I spent at least ten hours preparing and decorating. I'd expected him to be extremely happy about this lovely gift. His only reaction was to ask if he could exchange it for something else. FML
Today, a wasp somehow got into my parents' house, so I went hunting for it with my dad. I found it and, after getting into position, took a strong swing at it with a fly swatter. Unfortunately, being very uncoordinated, I missed. You can figure out the rest. FML
Today, while I was eating, a fly kept pissing me off. After three minutes of it buzzing around, I caught it and killed it. Then, without realizing it, I smeared its guts all over the front of my shirt. FML
Today, I flew home from college to see my parents. Later I found the expensive painting and hand-made necklace I mailed to my mom for mother's day while taking out the trash. FML
Today, my Dad and I killed a cockroach with a large metal pole. It was the most bonding experience we have ever had. FML
Today, me and my dad's birthdays are both a week apart. For his birthday I'd given him a cute card with a dog on it that said happy birthday, and inside it had 200$. A week later, he gave me the same card, but it was empty. FML
Today, I asked a coworker what she'd bought her dad for father's day. She said that she got him some flowers, and I laughed because I thought it was a rather feminine gift for a man. I later found out that the flowers were for his grave. FML
Today, at lunch, a fly was buzzing around my food. I managed to kill the fly in my napkin in midair. I continued my lunch, pleased with my amazing ninja skills. When I was done with my lunch, I wiped my mouth with the napkin. I can still taste bug guts. Karma. FML
Today, I spent 3 hours making a birthday card for my boyfriend, delicately cutting each letter out of printed coloured paper. He used it as a coffee coaster. FML
Today, my son tried to swat a fly with a hammer. Our apartment walls are now littered with dents and holes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I bet if it had a naked chick on it he wouldn't have thrown it away, mind you it'd probably be really awkward.

what an @sshole! It is about love not about what the gift is. I would have been very happy to have a daughter like you, who put so much effort into my special day! *big hugs*

Your father gave life to you.

so.. him "working" for five minutes makes it ok for him to be ungrateful and disrespectful to your son/daughter?

Stop thinking of yourself all the time and actually use your brain. Obviously your dad (myself included) don't give a damn about no card. The best way you can show your dad you appreciate them is going out and accomplishing important things in your life. Whether it be financial success, family success, or fulfilling dreams or lifelong goals. A piece of paper doesn't mean damn all to men and especially fathers. What matters is ACTIONS.

Well you have a lot to say on this subject. Write us an essay about it why don't you? Oh wait... you already have:)

A REAL dad would like anything your child made you. Looks like you and OPs dad should get together for the "worst f@cking dads on earth club!" I feel sorry for YOUR kid!

My dad kept cards that my sister and I made from many years back! It meant so much that he kept them! It has nothing to do with men not liking cards or other small gifts, some "men" just aren't assholes like you. I as well feel sorry for your kid(s)...

nahh it's just you. most parents actually care.

I agree and disagree. agree because parents do want to see their kids successful but disagree because fathers do like receiving things from their kids

Isn't giving a card like this an action showing love and affection? For you to not understand this makes me hope you don't have kids

Wow you're an asshole. I feel sorry for your kids(if you even have any). My dad loves homemade cards, more so over the ones you buy at the store.

u shouldn't talk about all dads when u say that. my dad LOVES when my sisters and I do something like make him a card. If u just don't care when ur kids make u stuff then ur an @sshole.
