Today, I heard water splashing outside of my house; I investigated it, only to find my dad, whom I don't live with, syphoning gas out of my car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. FML
Today, my dad was stupid enough to think that the kitchen sink is a good place to clean a gas tank. Now, the whole house smells of gas fumes and I'm about to pass out. FML
Today, I went to drive my mom's car for a change. It wouldn't start, so I open the hood. Someone had stolen the battery. I go to start my own car so I can drive to the police station to report the theft, and discover someone siphoned off my gas. FML
Today, our washing machine broke and dumped around 100 gallons onto the floor. My dad had installed crappy water valves and we couldn’t turn off the water. I called my dad and he accused me of lying. His “repairs” have now caused 5 major disasters in our home due to his shoddy and cheap work. FML
Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML
Today, realizing how poor I am, I decided to steal gas. The only place I was brave enough to steal from was my parents' lawn mower. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my mom and wash her car while she was away. Today, I also found out how gross our well water is. The car looks worse than before. FML
Today, I was at my grandfather's house and my car was low on gas. He said I could put some of his gas in my car. He accidentally gave me the wrong tank to pump it out of, and I put fuel in my car that he uses for his small plane. It never ran better until the engine exploded. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Today, I was driving past men working on the side of the road. There was a lot of water pouring down the road and as I slowed down to drive through it, a car sped past me, splashing my entire car. It was only then I realized it was a septic tank leak. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

For those saying that gas is much cheaper in other countries, please realize that the US does not have the same public transportation as you may have. While other countries can rely on trains or buses most Americans travel via personal cars. Also keep in mind that our dollars net worth is declining. So yes we Americans have just as much right to complain as you do :)

Actually, I used the current exchange rate to do that comparison of prices and the dollar is much stronger against the pound now than it was two years ago. Also, i don't know if you realise this but although we have a reasonable public transport system in Britain, the prices are extortionate in many places, especially if you're travelling between cities, so a lot of people choose to drive instead anyway. My point was that if you convert our fuel prices to the same terms you use in the US ($/gallon rather than £/litre) we're still paying nearly twice as much as you. Rising fuel costs also lead to rising costs of public transport as the bus/train companies pass it on to the consumer, with a profit margin on the side. The 3 hour train journey from Manchester to London (about 165 miles) can cost £200 ($350) for a return ticket if you have to but it on the day - that's why I'm complaining!

Time to call the cops perhaps? You don't seem to be surprised with his actions so I am assuming this is not the first time your father has done something this ridiculous without asking.

This is what locking gas caps are for.
