Today, I was watching The Ring on TV in the early morning. When the scene where the girl is crawling out of the TV came on, my dad grabbed my shoulders from behind me out of nowhere, causing me to shriek like a little bitch. I don't know how long he waited to do that. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I thought it would be funny to sneak up on my dad while he was rummaging through his briefcase. He must have heard me, because the moment I got up close, he whirled around and yelled "BOO!" causing me to scream like a little bitch. FML
Today, I went to see the latest Paranormal Activity movie with my mother. We were terrified and held hands at one point. The person sitting behind us thought it would be hilarious to abruptly scream into my mother's ear. She reacted by flailing and driving her arm straight into my face. FML
Today, I was watching a horror movie with my girlfriend. Suddenly, the killer jumped on screen. My girlfriend screamed. I pissed myself. FML
Today, I snuck downstairs to watch a midnight movie. One moment I'm trying to plug my headphones in, in the dark, and the next my dad's beating the shit out of me with a baseball bat. Turns out he snuck down after me for a midnight snack and thought I was a burglar disconnecting the TV. FML
Today, after watching Insidious, my boyfriend thought it would be funny to scare me while I was on the toilet. I was in mid-piss when he jumped out at me, and I ran screaming and peeing down the hall. FML
Today, I woke up to a blood-curdling scream from the living room. I jumped up and went running, only to find out it was my mother, who'd screamed at some dramatic plot twist in a Sex and the City episode. FML
Today, I was visiting my friend's new house and he was showing me around. I saw a small door in the wall and decided to open it. When I opened it, his daughter was hiding in there and screamed to scare me. Now I know my scream is more high pitched than his daughter's. I'm a 37 year old male. FML
Today, I was awoken by my dad yelling into my ear. In shock, I jumped up off the couch, and came smashing down into the coffee table. FML
Today, while I was sleeping, my girlfriend took my phone and set the ringtone to a bloodcurdling scream. I found this out when I received a call while driving to work and, thinking someone was being murdered in my backseat, I panicked and swerved into a parked car. FML
Today, my sister turned the volume on my phone way up and changed the ringtone to a woman's blood-curdling scream. I found this out when she called my phone at 2am as I slept next to it. I pissed my pants and fell out of bed screaming in terror. I'll never hear the end of this. FML

Having someone scare you in the middle of a terrifying film is one of those things that has to happen sometime in your life. You'll look back on it and laugh, I promise.

They are everywhere, but you never see them until it's too late.

Couldn't agree with you more on this. I'm usually the guy who has to shout RAAA! in a persons ear when a slow jumpy part comes on in a horror... A hurting shoulder usually follows though :(

I'm usually the girl who falls victim to this. I've caused more than one bruised shoulder in my day...

#35, I feel your pain... I'm "that guy" as well.

I once did that to my sister's friend while she and my sister were watching Arachnophobia. During an intense scene, I snuck up behind her and put my hands together in a spiderlike fashion and started "walking" up her shoulder. I will NEVER be able to scare someone that well again.

Best prank ever! Don't worry about it, OP! At least you didn't wet yourself, or crap your pants!

What if it wasn't your dad?

Well then this fml probably wouldn't have been typed.

Or it really would've... assuming this person wanted to spend the last few moments of their life writing an FML of course.

Haha that's too funny!! You never know OP, he could have seen the movie before and walked in at the right time. Either way your dads seems pretty cool.

That happened to me with the Grudge, I was 7 years old. So, I feel your pain.

Same here. Scared the shit out of me. I remember not being able to even look at a dark closet for months. Now that I'm older it is really funny though. Lol

After watching the Grudge, I refused to even take a peek underneath my blanket when I was sleeping. But hey, I was 8.

He might have waited a while to do it, but I'm pretty sure it was worth it!
