Today, my eye started hurting with unbelievable pain. I couldn't see out of it and I asked my father if he would take me to the hospital, since it was hurting so bad. He said he had to wait for the pizza he ordered for delivery. I had to call a cab to go to the emergency room because of pizza. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I dislocated my shoulder. I was screaming and writhing in pain, and my eyes were shut for most of the ride to the hospital. We stopped, and I was thrilled because I thought we were at the ER. I was wrong. My dad had stopped to order a cheeseburger. FML
Today, I was in agonizing pain and couldn't move. My parents said they couldn't take me to the ER until the football game on TV was over. FML
Today, I was passing a kidney stone. I had to go to the ER but had no one to take me, so I drove myself. They made me wait 3 hours because it was suspicious that someone in "so much pain" could drive. It was the largest stone that doctor had seen in his career. FML
Today I got a call from my daughter's school, because she claimed that she couldn't see out of her right eye. I panicked and went to pick her up. On the way to the emergency room, she turns to me and says, "I'm fine. I didn't want to take a test." FML
Today, I was waiting for my pizza delivery, which I had foolishly chosen to arrive at 5pm in the middle of rush hour. The pizza was roughly 30 minutes late due to this and I was so happy to get my pizza, I tried to help get the pizza out of the warming bag and somehow caused the delivery guy to drop his smartphone. FML
Today, I woke up with chest pain. It hurt just to breathe, but my parents made me go to school anyway. We're now sitting in the emergency room. FML
Today, I had to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night. Even though they know I don't have any money, let alone shoes on my feet, my parents have decided it's far too much trouble to come pick me up because we're on vacation and they want to have fun. FML
Today, because of the gas crisis in my state, we had to stop taking delivers at the pizza place I work at. Someone asked if we could walk it to them. My manager agreed. FML
Today, I had to go to the emergency room with vision problems. The nurse was helping my mom fill out the paperwork. When asked for her employer, my mom started trying to sell the nurse Aflac, and got into a serious 10 minute conversation about it, all while I'm going blind in my left eye. FML
Today, I hurt my arm in a scooter accident. When my dad came to pick me up, instead of taking me to the hospital like a normal dad, he took me directly home where he spent a hour shaving and taking a shower so he would "look nice" when we went to the hospital, while I clutched my arm in pain. FML

There's also the fact that if he bails on pizza, he gets flagged and they won't deliver to him anymore. So what's more important? Your eyes, or being able to get pizza delivered?

He could just call and say he wants to cancel his order. I work at a pizza place, happens all the time.

It suprises me how effed up some people are.. The dad could have easily called the pizza place and cancelled the order and gone later to order one. Some of you morons are actually saying eye damage is not important? Try waking up one day with a visually impaired eye and tell me how you feel. Because you most definitely wouldn't wanna stay at home for another minute considering how bad the pain is. Stupid jackasses.

To be fair, your eye wasn't going anywhere and you don't want him driving you on an empty stomach now do you?

Well if you really thought it was that much of an emergency the hospital has cabs, too. I think they're called ambulances and they're a lot faster than a damn taxi.

#55- Keep in mind that it's A LOT cheaper to ride in a taxi than an ambulance.

Any kind of eye issue can become serious so DEFINITELY FYL for having a dad that doesn't give a shit. I definitely know a lot about eye problems, I've had a lot. A few years ago, my eye was a little irritated in the morning but I just thought I had dry eyes that day or something. It started hurting a little bit after awhile and then progressively hurt more and more over a couple of hours so I ran to the eye doctor right away for an emergency appointment. It turned out that I had gotten a corneal ulcer and my doctor told me that if I had come even an hour or two later, I could've had serious permanent damage. Eye problems can be VERY serious!

A couple days ago I found out I am starting to get migraines. I could only read 1/2 of a word and so I freaked out. An hour later I got a huge migraine, the muscles around my eyes felt like they were going to explode. I could see, though. I went to two eye doctors who did tests and then told me that it was just a migraine. Yours could have just been a migraine. But yikes, not being able to see out of one eye suddenly can be serious. Anyways, just be thankful that you didn't have to pay a bunch of money for an ambulance.
