Today, my dad said that if I walked home from school, a distance of 8 miles, he would give me $50. Two hours and four massive blisters later, I come home. When I asked for my money, he said "I was kidding." FML

Today, as I was walking home from school with my guy friends, my dad pulled up by the sidewalk, offered me a handful of dollar bills and said, "Get in, baby." Only after we drove away and he started laughing did I realize I'll probably never hear the end of this at school. FML

Today, as I was walking home from work, my dad drove past, pulled over, rolled down the window and asked, "Are you tired of walking?" To which I replied "Yes!" Just as I reached for the car door, he yelled "RUN A WHILE" and sped off. FML

Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. FML

Today, I had to walk three miles home from work. Both my parents were at home. The reason they wouldn't collect me is apparently because I've "gotten so fat, your grandma cried after she saw you". FML

Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

Today, my dad offered to pay me $40 to wash his car. Needing money to buy a video game, I agreed, and went out in the freezing weather to do the job. I finished the task, only to be paid in Monopoly money. My dad still hasn't gotten over how "funny" his prank was. FML

Today, I gave my dad $40 and asked him if he can get me lunch on his way back home. Long story short he came back empty handed telling me it was my fault for trusting him with McNuggets. FML

Today, I went for a run when my shin splints acted up, so I called my dad to have him come pick me up. When I saw his car approaching, I stuck out my thumb like a hitchhiker, as a joke. The car pulled over to give me a ride. It wasn't my dad. FML

Today, I missed my bus. I had to ride my bike 2 miles. Once I left, some jerk nearly hit me. I flipped him off and shouted obsceneties. It was my dad, offering me a ride. He left. FML

Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML

It doesn't take 2 hours to walk 8 miles... :P

actually it does for most people 15 min per mile

distance=rate x time 8 miles/2 hours = 4 miles per hour average walking speed = 3-3.5 mph, which is LESS than 4 mph So OP was actually walking FASTER than average. At 3 mph, 8 miles would take about 2 hours 40 min.

That must be the average walking speed of Americans. It's ******* slow!

262 he could of jogged some of the way. I mean this dude is lazy if he just walked there. anyway it's still winter so that might of warmed him up. I'm proud to be an American foreign dude, just don't compare me with the op or 262.

If the OP was coming home from school it probably means they were carrying a backpack and possibly some other things. They probably didn't want to run because that's usually a lot of weight to jog with if you aren't used to it. I don't know what it's like in the OP's area but where I live it's actually been pretty warm the last couple of weeks. We did have a couple of snow showers but nothing major so spring is definitely here.

well 347 stll I play football and go to highscool. the football equipment is just as heavy as my backpack. and look how many people run in those during fall

You and all of those people train to get on the football team and to be able to run around in all that equipment. I specifically said "if you aren't used to it. " therefore your point is moot.
