Today, I asked my girlfriend's father for permission to take his daughter's hand in marriage. He asked me "Which one?" I said "Uh, the one I'm dating... Lisa." He belched and said, "Yeah sure, throw 'er off a cliff for all I care. Piss off, boy." So much for chivalry. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's father if I could marry his daughter. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "No. Now get out of my house." FML

Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML

That was classy to ask for his blessing. It sucks that you may have a classless asshole for a father in law.

Funnily enough, the father has no say in the marriage so I don't get why you asked him...

i like how all the comments are about how the father doesn't know which of his daughters are in the relationship with the guy... what if they're twins? lol I'm just saying. don't go and downvote me now. ut the father is a turd tho.

Asking about the dowery may be a waste of time also... especially after you tell him what it means.

Chivalry = sexism by objectifying women.

Chivalry is about fighting fairly.

that isn't chivalry. chivalry is a code that knights used to follow for proper battle etiquette.

By "which" he meant "which hand", not " which daughter".

Well at least you asked her dad out of respect OP, sucks he has none for his daughter though.
