Today, I had to serve my boyfriend's father with a restraining order. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out I have a restraining order against me from my ex boyfriend. Apparently, I drive by his house too much and it is considered stalking. He forgot that I live 2 houses down, and MUST drive by his house to get home. FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, I had to physically restrain my girlfriend from assaulting my father after he drunkenly poked her in the ribs for the fifth time. FML
Today, I had to deal with my baby daddy, who I currently live with and was in a relationship with (but not anymore after today) cursed me out after someone who works for the county came to our home and served him papers. Mind you he’s been speaking on the phone with this person, and told them he would be home. FML
Today, I got a stern talking-to from the police about threatening and harassing people. Who had called them? None other than my stalker, whom I'd just informed about the restraining order I was filing against him after finding him in my house. For the second time. FML
Today, I found out that I have to appear in juvenile court because I refused to go visit my dad, even though it was court ordered. FML
Today, my restraining order against my mother, who literally tried to murder me when I was 8 to prevent my dad from getting full custody of me, was denied. FML
Today, my boyfriend stood me up. At dinner with his parents. FML
Today, my husband's ex-girlfriend is getting a restraining order on him. Turns out, for the past 2 years of our marriage, he has been trying to contact her and ditching work to stalk her. To top it all off, he told me not to come to court with him because he doesn't want her to see he downgraded. FML
Today, I finally got a reply to the letter to a celebrity that I had to write for my English class. It was a restraining order. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I wish this had more details, but hope he doesn't violate the restraining order.

Yeah, definitely would've liked more details for this. How messed up does a boyfriend's father have to be...

Yeah let's hope it keeps him away. And I also wish there was a reason why OP got the restraining order.

12, the FML implies that OP is the judge that gave him it. It's a bit odd, since I thought the judge was not supposed to have any kind of connection to the accused.

OP could also be a process server.

15: Sorry, but it's not implying that. Serving someone is filing for and them receiving a restraining order or any notice stemming from Civil Court, a lot of times by court processors. . But hey, who says their occupation can't be a judge too tho right? :)

Ah, 20 beat me to it!

You're right, my mistake. I should probably try learning about the court system from something other than Hollywood films.

Impossible to say whether it's an FML or YDI without knowing the circumstances.

Like 20 said, he's most likely a process server.

Definitely FYL, OP. That's just... Messed up.

Must have been so awkward for op!

That will certainly complicate things. Hope everything works out though.

You're boyfriend couldn't get the message across to him?

You are boyfriend?

You lack intelligence. He couldn't serve his own father because the Judge frowns upon this. It will cause chaos. Attorneys always tell their clients (Respondent or Petitioner) not to do so unless you want to invite conflict of interest into your court case. It maybe likely that the father and son don't get along. By him serving his father calls for conflict of interest. I know this because I've studied the Law for 2 years.

34- I think you took this a little too literal... First: She probably means; Why didn't the boyfriend handle it himself? It's his father, so he should have talked to his father to get him to stop or threatened him. Second: Something tells me he did, and it didn't work. If you have to go as far as a restraining order, it's usually because you've tried all the other methods and it didn't work.

34 Dafuq?

Will someone please point out to me where it says OP's boyfriend is the one who filed for a restraining order? It'd be weird no matter who the petitioner is.

Yikes... Same here :$

Really?

4- what's your deal with OP's father?!
LappDance 16
I didn't know that 14 year olds could issue restraining orders.

Loool, that wasnt my comment... My friend was using my phone and posted that

That's going to be one hell of an awkward Thanksgiving dinner.

No Christmas gift for u then miss sensitive
TrippingOnAcid 29
Oh dear, who's he been stalking?
dmblonde 13
The OP. Obviously.
ClassyCommando 13
Probably not, 14, because to "serve" means to issue the restraining order, implying that OP was actually the judge.
ClassyCommando 13
Never minfd, turns out I'm completely wrong. I downvoted myself in shame like a true internet samurai.
Ashekitty 6
No the OP served the restraining order they didn't file it....obviously.
RedPillSucks 33
Yeah. It's really not that clear. OP could have served the restraining order, or caused one to be served, by filing it.
LemonandLime 13
It might be that the OP is a judge, the wording here of "serving" him one rather than getting one out against him makes me think that.

This FML just begs for more details.

The lack of details is killing me

Op MUST make a commenting appearance in this one!
