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?

This sounds like something my dad would do. Only instead of WOW, it would be Resident Evil 5.

Yeah, your dad is stupid, but people are missing the real angle here: fiscal sense! $15 a month for WoW, compared to the hundreds it takes to support you? That's just foolish investment management! You know, that's exactly the kind if flippant attitude toward value that put the US in such a bind. ... Oh my God. I can't believe I didn't see it before. OP, are you one of the Bush girls? Becuse I can totally see Dubya leading a raid with his pally. Crusader's Aura ftw!

I love how everyone assumes that when people play WoW they're playing with complete strangers, when most of the time they're playing with people they've known for years. If I had the choice of ditching 24 of my close friends for say, my drunken roomate who needs a ride home, I'd stick with my 24 FRIENDS depending on me, it's her own damn fault she couldn't find a ride (sound familiar?) and its less of a mess to take care of later. And #137, ZOMFG $15 a month for entertainment when he could be spending it SO MUCH BETTER! ONE MONTH of entertain ment for $0.50 a day is a ******* steal, or you could spend around $15 for a movie, only two hours of entertainment, with zero interaction with friends. And he probably spends enough time playing WoW that he doesn't want to go out and do more expensive forms of entertainment, thus spending even less money in turn. So yeah, he's paying hundreds for his daughter to be supported, let him spend a bit of his own ******* money on himself. I'm sure you indulge for yourself every once in a while, who the **** are you to say he can't? And OP, get a bike. Or take the ****** bus for christsake, you're dad's also the one paying for your public schooling, in turn paying for the buses that take you back home. It's your own damn fault if you missed them. You should consider it a luxury that your dad would even take you to and from school in the first place, you could say thats "foolish investment management" when gas prices are so high.

*Ahem.* AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. You are a complete ******* retard. I know it's real hard to put all them squiggly lines together in your head, but for ****'s sake, work on your reading comprehension. Also your sense of humor and priorities. Also your offensive and crippling body odor.

honestly, i have a hard time thinking this is true. How old are you? If your in HS, your instructors/teachers can't leave you there so you could of hitched a ride with one of them. On top of that, is your father the only person you know? Do not tell me there wasn't another soul you couldn't reach for a ride home.

LMFAO at #140. wowwwwwwww. okay, first, when I was in HS, there was NO ONE to monitor us, and didn't care if we got home safe or raped on the way. THE BOTTOMLINE is that regardless of the activity or action, it's a dick move for the dad to ignore his kid. and you're assuming that everything is paid for, it might not be. blahh this is just funny. not the OP's story, but that SO MANY PEOPLE defend wow. lmao.
