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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I wonder what would happen if he watches Taken 2

Eh I have to agree with him on this one, it maybe just a movie but it could happen.

Um, yeah, just because something happens in a movie doesn't mean that it doesn't happen in real life. The basic premise of the movie is based on a very real issue, minus the hero because in reality women (and children) are kidnapped at an alarming rate, but they are very rarely rescued. Your Dad is protecting you and you should be grateful, because if you think that couldn't happen to you, you're wrong. That stuff happens Stateside too you know.

The girl thought her dad was paranoid too. Look what happened. If you're living under your dad's roof you follow his rules. Don't like them? Get a job, move out, and then you can do whatever you want. Jesus my parents wouldn't even let me go to sleepovers at your age. I survived.

"When I was your age"... how do you know how old OP is? She could be over 18 for all we know, in which case her dad doesn't really have any right to stop her going
soulreaper12296 28
Well how old are you? If you're 18 he technically can't stop you from going. He'd just be pissed.

Um. Your Dad is looking out for you. Going to other countries is very dangerous for anyone. Especially for women. You get kidnapped and you'll never be seen again. It's great your Dad cares. Mine doesn't. Be grateful. ):

Why did I get 2 thumbs down? 0.0?

Well now you got 3. Maybe because you sound like the archetypal American who is full of preconceived ideas about the outside world and therefore is too scared to ever visit it. It's amazing how the US propaganda machinery works just as well as the North Korean.

Human trafficking is the 3rd largest criminal industry in the world. It's real and it happens.

I'm surprised at how many people are siding with OP's dad, because "it could happen". Personally, I think "You can't go on holiday because you *could* get kidnapped" sounds a little ridiculous. (However I think a lot of this depends on OP's age)
