Today, I am on vacation in Dubai with my dad and a few of his friends. I thought we were going to travel and see some amazing things, but I'm confined to my hotel room while everyone drinks and watches Family Guy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, we're in the middle of vacation. Two days in, my dad no longer wants to do anything but sit in the hotel room and sulk because, "it's all about us." We'd already tried taking him to an antique car and motorcycle museum, and a local gun show, but he just sat in the car pouting. Five more days of this. FML
Today, I've been in Bali for 12 days. We have done nothing but sit around because my whole family is sick, and they won't let me do anything because it's supposed to be a "family vacation". FML
Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML
Today, my parents are on holiday, which means I have the house to myself. Wild parties? Hot girls? Loads of beer? No. Flu. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, my family is getting ready for a vacation. My idea of a vacation is being on a beach, staying in a luxurious hotel, with cute guys and great restaurants everywhere. Unfortunately, we are going to be sleeping in a cold tent in the mountains, cook over a fire, and listen to bears stomp around at night. FML
Today, I’m in Las Vegas on vacation with my boyfriend and his dad. After staying in his dad’s dirty, dusty, toilet-broken Arizona cabin, we’re now in a cheap, shady, smoke-filled Vegas motel. I’m picking the hotels next time. FML
Today, I have to pack for tomorrow's family vacation. For one week I get to be stuck in a one bedroom cabin with my alcoholic father, bipolar mother, and two much younger siblings who have a passion for screaming. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, my son got back from his solo holiday in Hawaii. I asked him what he did. Apparently, he sat in his suite for 2 weeks, watching shit on his laptop. He spent thousands of pounds, flew thousands of miles to one of the nicest islands in the world, all to stay in his room. He could have done that here. FML

You're not just watching people drink while they watch Family Guy at home...you're watching people drink while they watch Family Guy in Dubai!!!!!

I just watched a 45 minute video of Dubai on YouTube. Pretty f**king amazing!

This probably made OP feel worse.

But, it's in Dubai.
ThatOneGuy719 16
Mhmm and Dubai happens to be the richest city in the world. There's tons of things there
teyyoshi 19
so what ？ I love my country China
RedPillSucks 33
You'll be in China most of your life. You wont get many opportunity to go to Dubai. Nothing wrong with loving your country and also wanting to learn about other places.
EverestMelting 23
Well at least you're still in an amazing city. Having some time alone could be worth it. It still blows that they would do that without telling you. Sorry, OP.
chosha_fml 27
Being in an amazing city makes it worse if you don't get to see any of it.
EverestMelting 23
Well OP might have a great view from the hotel room..
TheAbstract 15
Which would make it even worse, in my opinion, if you had a totally rad view of a city that you can't explore because you're stuck in a hotel room full of drunk people.

#3 I wouldn't recommend OP go out alone sightseeing in a foreign country especially if OP is a woman.
cre8tvlylicnsd 14
My sister moved to Dubai 7 months ago and always goes out alone. Just because it's an Arab country doesn't automatically make it hostile to women. I understand where you are coming from though. Traveling anywhere alone has dangers--especially, unfortunately, for females. I just wanted to clear some misconceptions anyone may have. This is not an attack targeted towards this commenter.

Wrong place to be a woman!
VitalDistance 14
Talk about a waste of a vacation :/ You should really get out there and see the city! :D From what I've seen it's really beautiful.

Maybe there trying to live the life of Peter Griffey and your meg.

I realized my spelling errors after it was finalized and posted, but thank you for pointing them out. I didn't know shit could be holy.
euphoricness 28
I eat eat shit that is holy every day!

Dubai is amazing. It's a shame that you may not get to see a lot of it. Hopefully they'll decide to go to something soon.
Djmaxn 13
After playing Spec Ops: The Line, I would never be able to stay in Dubai. Hope OP hasn't played it.

Why can't the OP just explore Dubai alone?
RedPillSucks 33
OP is female. OP may also be under age. It's not a good idea to go exploring by yourself in a place you know nothing about and a culture you know nothing about.
sellyyy 6
Why don't you travel on your own?
chosha_fml 27
Depends on OP's age, I guess. If they're young enough to be 'confined' to the room...

#9: Age and/or finances may be factors. It's not exactly smart to just wander off in a strange city as a young inexperienced traveler.
iwadasn 33
Since she's there with her dad, she may be too young to safely go out in a strange city by herself.

Alone? Woman? In Dubai? Yeah, if you want to get raped and then arrested for being raped. Google "What tourists need to know before going to Dubai".
fader48080 10
incredible 59 comments of "that sucks" and "why not just go out on your own" and finally someone points out how messed up and backwards that place is when it comes to female rights. Thank you 60 bout time.
worldclassrager 41
Can't you go out?
fader48080 10
In many arab cultures and Muslim some parts of France belive it or not a woman traveling alone may not only be raped but then basically get in trouble for basically instigating a rape. so no she can't really go out without a family member taking her! how do people not know this!?!
sunnyray812 42
You should go out anyway since they are being jerks. If they say anything against it, tell them their actions will not ruin your fun.
Palirose 22
Oh sure. That's real smart. Go out in a country you possibly have 0 knowledge about or where anything is and possibly dont speak the language. AND by yourself ...what could possibly go wrong?
fader48080 10
moron! on so many levels moron.

I wandered around Amsterdam that way...

They are with their parents so they're probably a kid. They shouldn't be alone wondering around in a strange country. That's CRAZY.
