Today, I was having an in depth discussion with my girlfriend's father about how corrupt journalists are and how our town's paper is the worst paper on the planet. After insulting basically everything about the newspaper, I asked him what he did for a living. He's the editor of the newspaper. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML
Today, I met someone who works in radio advertising. Making conversation, I described an ad that I can't stand. He wrote it. FML
Today, I had to proof-read a terrible paper containing a bunch of mistakes. It took me 4 hours and I didn't eat dinner until I was done. His response when he got it back was, "What the fuck did you do to my paper?! You bitch!" FML
Today, while sitting at a table in a coffee shop, I overheard someone on the next table talking about their horrible boss. I joined in, complaining about mine, and going into great detail about what an arsehole he can be. Turns out, I was talking to my boss's sister. FML
Today, I ran for editor-in-chief of a magazine. I spent hours working on my speech, and offered a bunch of new ideas to increase readership. My opponent just said that she, "loved the organization". I lost by a 4-1 margin. My opponent later announced her plans for next year. They were all of my ideas. FML
Today, I emailed my fiancé the assignment that I was handed for a journalism job interview, asking for him to take a look and give opinions about it. I accidentally e-mailed it to the job interviewer. She responded, and even CCed it to the CEO. FML
Today, I proposed to the girl I have known for a while, since our Dads have worked together for 40 years. After I rang my Dad to tell him the good news, he told me that there was a position open at work, which had belonged to her Dad. My Dad had to fire him. 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 handed a written complaint to a shop manager about an employee who had used foul language to my teenage daughter. I then watched as he took the complaint to the employee in question, they read it together, laughed, then the manager tore it in half and threw it in the bin. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend home for the first time to meet my parents. They were having a heated argument because my mom had bought "the wrong toilet paper" and my dad was angry because "she should know that he has a sensitive anus." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why bring up or express such charged opinions during your first time meeting your gf's dad? There is no need to get into that kind of discussion the first time you meet.

Constructive criticism never hurt anyone. Tell him to man up and [you] go **** his daughter.

YDI for trying to make conversation. Also for not knowing what he did before you met him.
LTMcleod 0
conversation means you were both participating in the discussion. so, next time, don't run your mouth to an older man, espically when you don't know what your talking about.

Hold on now Perdix, Everyone knows Sam Walton is Satan! Murdock is more like a Beelzebub, just one of Satan's Lackeys, but still evil and a giant asshole. I agree though, The OP needs to runaway from that soulless journalist!
perdix 31
Wait a minute. Sam Walton is merely Lucifer. Dick Cheney is Satan. Sarah Palin is the Succubus.

I know. One time, I had tooth surgery and the pain killers made me feel kina out of it, when my roommate asked if I liked Micheal Moore. I said yes, not thinking, and fell asleep on the couch. The next morning I went to check my Email, and when I saw the screen I screed and chucked my laptop out if my window. He had made my screensaver Micheal Moore completely naked and spreading his cheeks to the camera. I doubt I will ever fully recover.

Bullshit. if she's your girlfriend, and is having you talk to (not meet) your dad. then you knew at least a general idea of what he did.
OGReaper 2
agreed
geordieboysgirl 0
Absolutely is BS. If you have known her long enough to call her your girlfriend, you would know what her father did or at very least that he worked for the paper.

I went out with a girl for 3 years and I never had any idea what her parents did for a living. *shrug*
HappyFishh 0
why did you have to argue with him so intensly? i mean, if you don't know what his job is, then you probably don't know him very well. and considering he decides if you get to date his daughter or not, you shouln't piss him off. YDI, and good luck with kissing the guy's ass x)
