Today, my dad vehemently refused to let me go on vacation to France with my best friend, because he watched Taken a few months ago and apparently forgot that it's just a movie. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, an old friend of mine refused to go to a movie with me. Turns out he was sitting in front of me with my girlfriend. FML
Today, I was watching a movie with my family in which a character said "Fuck you, dad." My dad then slapped me over the head to get my attention and said, "Never talk to your father like that." Okay, dad. FML
Today, my dad insisted on having a family movie night. He chose the movies Jaws and Mayday. I'm going on a diving expedition tomorrow. FML
Today, we watched a movie in French class. I went on a French exchange last year, so I wanted to sound all impressive and cultured for my crush who is in the same class. I said that it was my favorite movie and I couldn't wait to watch it with everyone. The movie turned out to be about incest. FML
Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML
Today, I went on a movie date with a guy. He brought his mom. FML
Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML
Today, my friend had invited me to his home for a movie night with another friend. I had to decline because I have prior plans. He then revealed that they only wanted me there so I could bring DVDs, but "don't worry, we'll find something on Netflix to watch instead." FML
Today, I was watching a movie that had a mild sex scene in it. My mother walked in just as that scene was starting and she flipped out. I'm now grounded. She's taken my TV and laptop out of my room and refuses to let me see my boyfriend because she's sure he's the cause of my "disgusting behaviour". FML
Today, my dad lectured me because my mom cried herself to sleep last night. Why? Because I didn't want to watch a movie with her. I had to go to sleep to be up for work at 6 a.m., and was too tired to watch a movie in the first place. I live with drama queens. FML

Kidnapping happens all of the time. You never know, be happy with your dad because he obviously loves you.

To be fair, my parents wouldn't have let me go to France without adult supervision when I was under 18 either.

It's not just a movie, Hun. You need to protect yourself at all time. Even when in your own city! Perhaps you can educate yourself on the dangers and demonstrate to your dad that you will be aware at all times!

In Taken 3, it's Neeson's dog that will get kidnapped. In the 5th movie, it will definitely be his random neighbour.

Wait, what? Taken is just a movie? but in all serious, that's unfortunate and it sucks you can't go but your Dad is just looking out for you!...

Under 18 hell no I don't care if my kid goes with adult supervision of any kind of course unless its me. Lol. If I ever have plans to have kids that is. Or get lucky enough to get a girlfriend. Let alone married. But seriously you never know what could happen. After all those taken movies may be fiction but it doesn't mean that doesn't happen. The real world lot worse than most movies you see. Lol. And nazis feel free to correct me if you would like to.

That suucks but at the same time, I understand your dad. Taken IS just a movie but the storyline does hold some truth. Kidnappings/sex trafficking like that happen everywhere more often than many of us realize. As upset as you may feel, just be glad your dad cares about you to look out for your well being.
