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?

You probably need the exercise anyways... Not picking you up, one person is let down. Bailing on a raid on Algalon hour, 24 people let down. YDI for not utilizing other available options.

You make it sound like the level of responsibility to 24 anonymous people playing a game is the same as the responsibility to someone's own child. It's really sad to see the excuses people make for someone who shares their addiction.

I think 75 put it best. "It's really sad to see the excuses people make for someone who shares their addiction." ^This

that's ****** up. it is also a safety hazard for a kid to be walking alone, especially that distance these days. You're lucky some pedo didn't find you first. your dad is an asshole. Move out as soon as you are able.

#45: when you have a child, your needs do Not come first anymore for a long time. If your child needs a ride home from school, which is a valid reason vs WoW, the child comes first. Video games later. The dad needs to be a parent and take responsibility. Depending on the OP's age that could be a serious safety hazard for the kid: getting hit by a car, heave traffic or rural road? weather conditions, a pervert who drives past seeing a lone kid and no witnesses may snatch him.....etc.

You are so right. If people don't want to have to take care of a child, they show wear a condom.

She deserves it. My main question is: "Did she intend on walking home every day, those 3 hours? Or did she just sorta think "Hey bro, I think I'll just randomly hope that my parents have time to do that shit". If she had a deal with her father that he should come and pick her up, then he's the idiot, but honestly. It says right there "I asked my dad to pick me up from school, he said he couldn't." This isn't something preplanned. If I called my parents while 12 miles away (assuming a walking speed of 4mph) and asked them to come pick me up, they'd pretty much just laugh at me, unless it was an emergency. 12 miles is nothing. Get a bicycle, it'll do you a lot of good. (note: I ride my bicycle to university each day, 10 miles each way. There are bus routes, but none of them get within a mile of my home) Basically, she deserves it for being completely unable to plan ahead. In all honesty, people are only going "THAT GUY IS A BASTAAAARRD" because it involves WoW, and WoW people apparently aren't real people.

It's the dads fault, i've seen a lot of people say, " Crap! sorry i gotta go, my kid needs______" so its the person, on another note, it would have been a shorter walk if u got a mount n00b

Tell him a gamer said that's a pretty shitty thing to do. Get a boyfriend with long hair and a leather jacket.
