Today, my estranged father, with whom I haven't spoken in years, called me and demanded to know where his Father's Day gift was. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a missed call from my dad, who hasn't talked to me in months and has vowed not to have anything to do with me. I called him back excitedly and apologized for missing his call, and we had a 20-second conversation about how his phone accidentally dialed my number. FML
Today, it's Fathers Day. Both of my adult daughters called me… from their stepfather's house. FML
Today, I called my dad, because I haven't spoken to him in a while, and I wanted to invite him to my graduation in May. When he picked up, I said, "Hey, how have you been, dad?" He scoffed, "Wrong number" and hung up the phone. FML
Today, my dad found the Father's Day present that I spent at least ten hours preparing and decorating. I'd expected him to be extremely happy about this lovely gift. His only reaction was to ask if he could exchange it for something else. FML
Today, I called my dad asking him to wish me a happy birthday. Yay. FML
Today, my father contacted me for the first time in close to 2 months. The first thing he did was ask if I wanted to buy some weed. FML
Today, my family keeps pestering me about whether I've contacted my father yet. My father, the one who treated me and my family like crap throughout my upbringing and cheated on my mom a few years ago. I don't know why they think I'd ever want to see him again. FML
Today, I called my dad to inform him I was coming home from college for the weekend. Expecting him to be excited, he responded with "why?" This weekend was my birthday. FML
Today, my father called me for the first time in two weeks since I moved away. Excited, I answered the phone. It was a mistake. He thought he'd called my sister. FML
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML

Tell him it's at the morgue and see if the deadbeat needs assistance getting there.

I think the reasoning on you two not talking gives the point that you didn't expect to hear from him...

What...?

I'd be like, "just be glad I even answered the phone on Father's Day, you inconsiderate jackass for a father." And hang up. :)

Tell him you're searching for it along with all the ***** you give and the ***** he gave whilst being out of touch with you...

Ask him where all your birthday presents are

That's when you go off on him. Make him realize what a piece of shit he is.

Tell him to pull his head out his arse long enough to look at what a crap father he is, and maybe he'll get one. :3

Did you demand to know where he's been in the last several years?

Maybe that was his way of trying to open up a dialog? yeah, it was poorly executed, but maybe you two should try to patch things up.

Just asking, has he been paying for your support for these estranged years?

You honestly think paying to support the child you made is being a father? You make them, you pay to provide for them. There's a lot more to being a parent than paying bills. I sincerely hope you are sterile.

I'm the op the FML was reworded and resubmitted but I was a junior in high school (but he wasn't really a father before that) when he walked out. He was an alcoholic who spent all my mom's money. Due to the fact that my mom makes more money and that where I live is a no fault divorce state if she were to divorce him she would lose the house. I haven't talked to him in years and he called all my sisters and I complaining about his lack of Father's Day gifts. I just laughed and hung up. I celebrated Father's Day with my wonderful mom who actually raised me.
