Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML

Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire two acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML

Today, my boyfriend wanted to take me out on a date. He doesn't have a car, but he said he'd borrow transport from his neighbor. He showed up at my house on a ride-on lawn mower. FML

Today, my dad started his mid-life crisis. Instead of a Porsche or a Ferrari, he bought a tractor. Goodbye summer holiday. FML

Today, I got home late to find my dad outside mowing the lawn in the dark. I told him the neighbors were going to think he lost his marbles for mowing it at that time. He then informed me he wasn't mowing it, he was vacuuming it. FML

Coming through!
Today, I taught my kid how to mow the lawn. It's a self-propelling mower so it's easy to handle. My kid thought it would be smart to tie the handle down so that he wouldn't have to push it at all. This resulted in the lawn mower blasting through our fence and sinking into my neighbor's pool. FML

Today, my husband thought it would be funny to mow a penis into our lawn. I guess he forgot my parents are coming over. FML

Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. FML

Today, my dad finally used the electric shaver I bought him for Christmas. My dog now has bald patches. FML

He could make great money mowing other people's lawns.

To be fair, riding lawn mowers looks fun as ****.

Really this isn't much different than all the people who own jeeps and SUVs but never get further off road than the parking garage at the Galleria. At least your dad didn't blow $40K on a useless status symbol.

Actually it is different. SUVs are still cars, which are meant to be driven. OPs dad bought a lawnmower, which was meant to now a lawn. And they don't have a lawn so...

I own a Jeep because I live in an area where four wheel drive is useful. It snows a lot and I have a large group of friends, so having trunk space and a pretty decent backseat comes in handy.

You will have a lawn after your father mows the garden down.

Maybe he wants to modify it and enter the mower races.
