Today, I went out and made build-a-bears that looked like my daughter and her new boyfriend. It turns out she had been insisting that I didn't for a good reason; upon sight of his, her boyfriend screamed and fled the house. Turns out he was nearly mauled to death by a bear. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my coworker convinced a little girl that teddy bears are actually the bodies of dead baby bears. I work at Build-a-Bear-Workshop, and we were working a 4-year-old's birthday party. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a voice personalized Build-a-Bear. I thought he was going to propose to me through it, only to press the foot of the bear and hear, "We should break up" instead. FML
Today, my 4-year-old daughter couldn't sleep, crying that her teddy bear wanted to eat her. My husband thought it would be funny to put the bear right in front of her face while she slept. She's now terrified to sleep anywhere but in our bed. FML
Today, I was forced to go to the mall with my dad. He wore a bear suit the entire time. FML
Today, I got mugged by someone wearing a bear suit. FML
Today, I was pretending to be an angry bear while babysitting a 3 year-old boy, and an 19 month-old girl. I was chasing them around the house, having a great time. Just when I bent over to pick up his sister for a diaper change, the 3 year-old decided it was his turn. He bit me square on the ass. FML
Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting for him to get out of the shower. Bored, I sent my friend a picture of myself pretending to make out with his bear rug. After the photo shoot, I looked in the doorway to find his dad staring at me. FML
Today, I went camping with my girlfriend and another couple. We saw a black bear. I shrieked and peed, while the other guy stepped forward and yelled, "Get outta here!" To my surprise, it ran away. My girlfriend is so ashamed of me that she's refusing to share a tent. I'm sleeping in my truck bed. FML
Today, I walked into my shed to find my daughter's boyfriend asleep and completely duct-taped to the ceiling, with his face painted like a clown. FML
Today, my daughter's boyfriend came to the house to pick her up. As a responsible father, I had an evil plan to torture the boy who dares date my girl, but my wife preempted my plan so during his short visit, she stood behind me the whole time with her taser down my buttcrack in case I acted up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you continue with a gift idea when someone is telling you not to? Granted, you could not have known the bear mauling bit. However, you seem like one of those annoying gift givers that buy things according to what YOU think a person should have.

I'm guessing OP couldn't bear the thought of not making the Teddy for both of them.

Your daughter should have told you plain and simple. I'm sorry, it's not your fault you didn't mean any harm

Screaming and running out of a room over a plush bear is an overreaction. Its not like you bought him a real bear.

I agree! He needs to get a grip. A little, plush build-a-bear looks completely different from a 800 pound grizzly. I would understand this reaction if he was at the zoo and suddenly came to the bear exhibit but not over a little teddy bear dressed in clothing. Big overreaction.

There is such a thing as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which, after a traumatic event like getting mauled by a bear, affects the way you think. In this case it is very well possible that he can't stand the very thought of a bear, and something as simple as a reminder can invoke a strong reaction. There's no "getting a grip" with things like PTSD. It's not his fault. Show some sympathy, dumbass.

that's ridiculous I understand fears (I have intense arachnaphobia) but that's just ridiculous for one a teddy bear is significantly smaller than a bear and to have that kind of response is a joke, and 2 if you have a fear you can tell when your looking at something fake. If I saw a giant fake spider I don't get scared I see a real.one I shit my pants lol. He CLEARLY overreacted and needs to grow a pair.

That's not intense or severe arachnophobia then. I have arachnophobia. I can't stand any spiders being near or on me. Doesn't matter if it's alive or dead, fake or real, big or small. It's taken me almost the entire 19 years of my life to not scream and completely break down at the sight of tiny baby spiders. Your phobia is not severe. He nearly died because of a bear and it's led to an extreme phobia of anything related to bears. I studied phobias as part of psychology, and it's entirely possible after experiencing a severely traumatic event like that. Just because something doesn't scare you, it doesn't mean it won't scare someone else and that certainly doesn't give you the right to judge them for it. >:( TL;DR - shut your mouth, you're dribbling bullshit all over the floor. OP, I'm sorry to say that you deserved it. Your daughter shouldn't have to tell you more than once not to get something and you should be able to tell when she means it. You shouldn't need for her to tell you something that really isn't her business to tell you just so you won't buy something she's asked you not to. :/

That's beary unfortunate OP
