Today, as I was leaving home for my mall kiosk job, my dad asked me where I was off to. When I said I was going to work, he tossed an empty beer bottle to the floor, belched, and said "Bah! Get a REAL job!" He's unemployed and living in my apartment. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, my father told me to "go get a job." He has been unemployed for three years. FML
Today, my drunk dad started yelling at my dog for not having a job. FML
Today, I sat in my boss's office as he bitched me out for being "too sarcastic" to our customers. After nearly half an hour of him criticizing my "piss-poor attitude," he asked me what I was going to do to fix it. Without thinking, I said, "Your mom." Now I'm jobless again. FML
Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML
Today, my dad had his 45th birthday and got so drunk he couldn't walk. He crawled along, crying, saying that his whole life was a failure because he had "a shitty job, a fat girlfriend, and a dipshit son who's never going to move out." I haven't moved out because I'm 18 and still at high school. FML
Today, my dad came home drunk off his ass. So drunk that he couldn't manage to open the refrigerator, and ended up punching it in a fit of rage. When I tried to calm him down and get him to bed, he told me to fuck off, and grounded me. FML
Today, my dad called me a "deadbeat loser" after I came back from my first day of voluntary rehab for my meth problem. He's never had a job in his life and sits on the sofa all day, smoking weed and playing video games, all on my mom's salary. FML
Today, my dad asked me to lend him some money to buy his medication, since he's all but broke right now. He returned with nothing but a bottle of tequila. FML
Today, I came home to find my dad drinking. Trying to be cheerful, I greeted him with a "Hi, dad!" He sighed, shook his head, and said "It hurts me when you call me that." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's terrible. Subtle response such as 'oh you too!' Would be more than appropriate.

A job is better than no job...I hate lazy parents like that.

throw away his beer and tell him "bah! Have a real drink!"

By a "real drink" do you mean a glass of shut the **** up?

But he probably can't afford a real drink if he doesn't have a job!

Yet the dad can complain when his child buys his shitty beers.

I've got nothing against drinking. But there's a difference between between a casual drink and an alcoholic. It you drink casually, a real drink might be vodka or absinthe. If you're an alcoholic, it's gotta be a coffee.

Time to show him that "tough love" that parents always threatened us with.

You should tell him if he doesn't clean up his act he will not be welcomed into your home anymore

What a great father.

You have no reason to respect the opinion an alcoholic that cannot provide for himself as an adult. Keep doing what's earning you money, if it's enough to have a stable budget. As for your father. Give him an ultimatum; no more disrespecting you or your property in your house, or he'll be out on the street!
