Today, my Dad and I went to McDonald's, only to have him shove two handfuls of sugar packets into the bag. He said, "If it's for free, why only take one?" To make it worse, my crush was at the till, watching what was happening. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave my dad $40 and asked him if he could get me lunch on his way back home. Long story short, he came back empty handed telling me it was my fault for trusting him with McNuggets. FML
Today, after a long, horrible day at work and some fighting with my family and my girlfriend, I decided to cheer myself up by going to McDonald's for a change. I burst into tears when the cashier told me they couldn't make me a Mars McFlurry because they'd run out of ingredients. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. FML
Today, I went shopping with my Mom. I ran into my crush. A school dance is soon and he WAS just about to ask something but my mom glanced over and yelled "TAMPONS OR PADS, SWEETIE?!" He then changed his question to "Haha, so which?" And before I could say a word, my mother answered for me. FML
Today, my mom, who still refuses to get a mobile phone, was late coming home, so I was sent to buy dinner. Dad wanted seafood. I picked it up and returned, only to find Mom was already back with McDonald's. Dad insisted we eat that, despite my protests and MY money I'd spent on HIS request. I made sure Mom saw the Verizon ads. FML
Today, while at my job in a candy store, a boy stuck his hand into the bin, contaminating the candy. As I politely explained that the dad had to purchase the affected candy he refused, yelled, then angrily agreed to buy them. The total cost of the candy with the extra pieces? $1.69. FML
Today, I stopped at a mini-mart and bought a family-size bag of potato chips, a tub of dip, a box of toaster pastries, and some snack cakes. The guy at the counter said, "Wow, someone's hungry!" I told him it wasn't all for me, paid, and left in a huff. It was all for me. I ate it all by that evening. FML
Today, at Arby's, there were two cute guys behind me in line. Right before ordering, my dad said loudly "Go get the calorie sheet. You need to lose more weight before you think about going after those guys." FML
Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML
Today, I took my daughter to the grocery store. The bag boy seemed to be flirting with me and smiling. He had to be half my age. Once in the car I glimpsed myself in the rear view mirror. I had chocolate completely covering one of my front teeth. FML

Take some sugar packets, go to your crush, and say, "I think you dropped your nametag."

Why not just get him to be your sugar daddy?

Dear OP, First, harsh. Sucks to be in any situation where your parent does something awkward that involves your current attraction. Second you're a teenager, and through no fault of your own (blame hormones when the cops ask), everything awkward in your life is going to seem far, far more important than it really it. So relax, it's not a world-ender, just embarrassing. Get creative; this is a situation that can work to your advantage in the twisted, ongoing series of mental games that youth calls love. If this 'crush' is someone you don't know, then relax- chances are if you thought this incident was bad, you'll be hard-pressed to make the first move on your boy there. If he is someone you know... next time you two talk, bring up seeing him at his work and having to keep a leash on your cool dad (include an eyeroll here for effect) when out in public. Assuage your paranoid sense of importance *and* shoe-in seeing him in an environment outside of school! Ftw. Go get 'im, hottie.

Sigh. When I go to McDonalds my mom and grandma grab EVERYTHING! They get like five stacks of napkins, 15 straws, TONS of eating utensils and all the condiment packets they can fit in the bag. I'm so embarrassed by it. It may not sound embarrassing online but when your family is doing it it's horrible. I'm like you can take some of each but why are you taking ALL THAT. Hispanic parents are so cheap. Sigh.
