Today, I tried fixing my dad's lawnmower after he said, "Girls can't change a lightbulb right, let alone fix a machine." An hour later, when I had the lawnmower running again, he bitched me out for trying to make him "look stupid." He's been sulking and acting pissy ever since. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire two acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML
Today, my dad sent me back and forth repeatedly to the auto parts store for a replacement headlight bulb. He kept insisting that what I brought back was the wrong bulb. I had to drag him there to show I was getting the right one by asking the clerk. He's wrong, but is mad at me for embarrassing him in front of the staff. FML
Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML
Today, my father bought a riding lawn mower. We don't have a lawn. FML
Today, my neighbor heard me watching a YouTube tutorial for how to do a simple fix on my car engine and he half jokingly asked why my dad didn’t teach me anything growing up. My dad was just inside the front door and heard him say it. They ended up fighting in the street. FML
Today, my dad yelled at me for being irresponsible while he watched me fold his laundry. FML
Today, I got home late to find my dad outside mowing the lawn in the dark. I told him the neighbors were going to think he lost his marbles for mowing it at that time. He then informed me he wasn't mowing it, he was vacuuming it. FML
Today, my car broke down. My dad insisted he could fix it, but screwed up in the process. After finally getting the car towed to a mechanic, I was told that I'd only needed a new water pump, but thanks to the damage my dad did, fixing it all will cost me a small fortune. FML
Today, my dad came up into my room and told me that as a consequence of breaking my MacBook in anger, he’s punishing me by helping him with yardwork every single hour of the day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You go girl! Nothing better then showing females can accomplish what a make can. Don't sweat the mood he's in, everytime you see him with a sour expression, sing "anything you can do I can do better", lol

Wait until it breaks again and tell him "oh but dad you said girls can't fix a machine" maybe he will finally realise his stupidity and talk to you like you're an actual human with feelings and the respect you deserve

He'll probably say she didn't fix it properly the first time.

Dad, you can't handle the truth, because the truth is, deep down inside of you in places that you don't talk about at parties, you want me to fix the lawnmower, you need me to fix the lawnmower. I use words like carburetor and spark plug. I use them as a way of repairing machines, you use them as the punch line to a joke. I have neither the time nor inclination to explain myself to someone who uses the lawnmower I fixed, then questions the way I fixed it. I just as soon you said thank you and mowed the lawn. Either way I don’t give a damn about your misogynist opinions.
