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?

3 hours home? that must be like 12 miles...this story doesn't seem very likely to be true..don't you have anyone else to pick you up? is there no bus or train? couldn't you order a cab? are you ******* STUPID that you had to walk?

If the OP lives in the suburbs, it's very likely that there is no bus, train, or regular cab service. Why she couldn't call ANYONE ELSE to pick her up, though, remains unanswered. I think I'd try everyone I could think of before I'd walk for three hours straight! And what a shitty dad!!

i wouldn't have even walked...i would have sat there and waited for someone to get me...if anything, one of the teacher would offer a ride home and yeah...where i live, we don't have a cab or train or anything

Walking, it's three hours. The college I go to at the moment... shit I don't even want to think about how far it is WALKING... but driving, it's forty minutes.

It takes her 3 hours to WALK from school to home. That could mean like 10 minutes of driving. If I had to walk to school, it would take around 5 hours, and it takes 25 minutes to drive there. Next time, before you call fake, THINK.

It takes the average person 20 minutes to walk a mile. That's 3mph. Is it really that implausible that her school is about 9 miles away?
the_stereotype 0
9 miles isn't far away at all for a school! my school is more than 25 miles away. not to mention, if she goes to a private school, she probably has to go further than the average public school. in some other states, the nearest school is 30 or 40 miles away. where is 9 miles so far away? (that's not meant to be condescending, i actually do want to know)

Either... A) You live farrrr away from school B) You don't have friends with cars C) You walk slow/a fatty or D) All of the above.
