Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents over lunch. Unfortunately, I showed my dad her Facebook profile beforehand and he wouldn't stop making cracks about her duckfacing. It started with, "Don't let her eat the bread, it'll puff up in her stomach and kill her", and ended in tears. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. The first thing my dad did was comment that given how pretty she looked in our photos, and compared to how she looks in real life, she's amazing at using Photoshop. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Dinner was going well until her dad secretly fed the asparagus to the dog under the table, and then "discovered" what a childish thing I had done. My girlfriend believed him. FML
Today, I proudly told my elitist dad that I now have a beautiful girlfriend. He didn't believe me, so I showed him her Facebook. He demanded that I stop seeing her, saying that the duck-facing in her avatar was the hallmark of "a lower form of being" who would only ever shame our family. FML
Today, I finally invited my girlfriend over to meet my oddball parents. The first words out of my dad's mouth were, "So, you're the silly girl who agreed to date my dickhead son." It went downhill from there. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my dad. I thought it was a good idea at the time, at least until he took her aside for a private chat. During the chat, he told her all about my two previous marriages and advised her to "get out while you can". FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend home to introduce to my parents. My dad thought it would be hilarious to fill some clear bags full of flour, then pretend he was sampling a cocaine shipment when she arrived. She excused herself very quickly and isn't answering my calls. FML
Today, I was introducing my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. I meant to say, "Mom, Dad, this is Tom." Instead, I said, "Mom, Dad, this is Mom." My boyfriend is now jokingly reconsidering our relationship, and my parents won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Within minutes, they said I needed to leave. Their reason? Apparently, I was mocking her dad's speech impediment. I also have one but they wouldn't believe me. FML
Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents. They thought it would be funny to pretend that they're nudists. FML

You people are dicks. I agree that the duckface is annoying, but not so much that someone should be driven to tears about it. I mean, I come from a family that makes jokes about each other, too, but there's a fine line between affectionately poking fun at someone and mocking them, and it sounds like OP's dad catapulted over it.

Such a sad society where people are saying she deserved to be BULLIED to the point of tears and how some are praising the dad.

When I first read this, I actually thought OP meant tears from laughing. Anyone else?

The actual issue is that your gf is too sensitive. She can post any pictures she wants, duck face and otherwise. But if some old fart makes fun of her for it, she's gotta stand her ground or just take the joke at face value. I can't imagine his dad jokes were so cruel that her crying was justified. Sounds like a case of insecurity. Tell your dad to lay off and tell your gf to not take it personally.

First of all I find duck-facing incredibly annoying and silly. A couple of jokes are fine but he should have backed off after that especially cos she was a guest and could not tell him to sod off without sounding rude. Did you tell him off?

Your girlfriend deserved it for having that many duck face pictures. That is one stupid trend. How many did she have on her page that your dad ended up in tears?
