Today, I asked my dad to pick me up from school, he said he couldn't. Why? he was busy playing world of warcraft for the night. I got to walk the 3 hours home while my 49 year old dad played computer games. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. FML
Today, I had to explain to my son that his dad was too busy in a raid on World of Warcraft to be at his award ceremony. FML
Today, my dad made me quit my online school classes and go back to public school, because apparently when I'm on the computer, it makes his video games lag. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot to pick our son up from daycare. His excuse? Fighting in a battle in World of Warcraft was far more important and he had to stay absolutely focused. Our son had to wait for two hours. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML
Today, I told my dad that I was going to sleep over my friend's house this weekend with a few other guys to play Dungeons and Dragons. He responded with, "Oh, back in my day, me and my pals used to pick on the kids who played Dungeons and Dragons." FML
Today, my dad lied and said he was busy working, all because he didn't want to see me. FML
Today, my dad called, saying he was in town and that he wanted to see me. I was excited, thinking he wanted to come see my new apartment. Turns out he just wanted to borrow my Xbox. FML
Today, despite the fact that I've lived alone for four years, and have a well-paid job, my father is still whining about, "Why am I still playing video games at age 32?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your dad needs to see a therapist. I mean, it's not the GAME you should blame, it's the people ho play it. They are the ones to decide wheter or not to play. I understand how important is to be online when raiding, or doing things with other players, but for example I've never gone to a raid, or even a group instance when I knew I had to get to the bus station in 30 minutes to meet my girlfriend. Counter Strike was / is as addicting as WoW, or any other game. (Not necessarily computer games) I'm sorry to hear such stories. World of Warcraft is an amazing game, but none should play too much. I play it to. A few hours a day - when I don't have ANYTHING ELSE to do, and would otherwise play other games, read e-.mails etc.... Or reading FML :P BTW, I support the "lolcat" idea! He would probably get an idea out of that. But NEVER abandon your real life, no matter how bad it is for a virtual word, no matter how good that is. Try to balance your play time and life time in a normal humanly way. Or as WoW people say, "GET A LIFE" ...if you don't have one.

Sounds like someone was trying to teach you a lesson. *ahem* When was the last time you said you couldn't do something because you were busy with a game?

If you lived that far away, wouldn't someone pick you up on a daily basis already, and if not, shouldn't you have a way of getting home? I doubt you call your dad everyday and hope he not playing WoW.

Playing wow and not wanting to be interrupted when you're down for the night is not addiction. It is a sign of a parent not wanting to cater to their daughter's poor planning.. and that would be the case no matter what they were doing. Most people watch TV and no one stops to wonder if maybe -that- is an addiction.. and by the same arguments, it is. What if there was more to this? Maybe he hadn't planned on having to pick her up, and had a drink or two -while- playing? This is a very one sided story that leaves a lot of crucial information out, so this really probably has nothing to do with WoW other than him playing it at some point. I know a lot of parents who would do this, without WoW being part of the equation. Being a good parent doesn't always mean catering to their every desire.. especially considering that we dont know how old the OP is, so it could be college they're talking about. I would've just told the daughter to take a taxi home, and that I would pay for it. Then again, I used to go for 3 hour walks all the time, and it did me a lot of good.

Even if there was more to this story like poor planning on the OP's part, her dad could have still gotten off his ass and picked her up and then gave her shit about it in the car. You don't just leave your kids somewhere 3 hours away and play a ******* game to make a point. Your children are your utmost priority, regardless of what the hell else you're doing. And if your daughter finds herself stranded somewhere even if it's her fault, it's your job to go get her and then discuss her idiocy later. OP, your dad sounds like an immature turd. Good luck with that.

Dude, 3 hours WALK, it's not 3 hours away by any other means a transportation. Get a bike.

Children are not your priority you ******* mongel, they are there ot annoy the **** outta you till you kick them out at 18 years of age and sell all their shite. It's worked for generations.

WOW is only a game ******* take care of your kids first before playing a stupid game. and for those that say WOW is more important than picking your kids up are ******* retards that should not reproduce

Wow, you all go after the dad like he is the devil, really he is just teaching the OP to fend for themselves. noone will drop everything to pick you up in the real world. Just a little forward planning would have avoided it all.

If it takes you 3 hours to walk home you're in the wrong school...
