Today, I called my very overprotective father, and he took the time to tell me how proud he was of me for finally finding a good and respectable boyfriend. And that he was sorry he misjudged. I was calling for bail money to get my "good, respectable" boyfriend out of jail. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad was driving me home and was angrily explaining how my boyfriend was a bad influence and that he was hanging out with the wrong crowd. After finally convincing him to give him another chance, we stopped at a traffic light just in time to see my boyfriend being chased by police. FML
Today, my dad called for the first time in six months. He needs someone to bail him out of jail. FML
Today, I had to bail my drunk dad out of jail after he beat the shit out of a mime artist. All he had to say on the matter was "Fucking bastard was playing mind games." and that he'd beat him up again if he could. FML
Today, I got to drop off my boyfriend at his newest place of residence: jail. FML
Today, I introduced my boyfriend to my parents for the first time. My dad took one look at him, sighed and said, "You deserve someone better. Someone who is responsible, and has their priorities straight in life." Beyond upset, I told my dad that I love him. My dad disgruntledly responded, "I was talking to him." FML
Today, I was getting ready for my first date with a boy I really like when my dad insisted on meeting him. My dad is super protective and a cop. He cleaned his gun in front of my date and made it clear he had to be careful with me. My date started to cry when we got to the car. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I got a call from my boyfriend. He was at the police station for breaking into a model home to hook up with the girl he's been cheating on me with for the past four months. I was his one phone call. He was expecting me to bail him out. FML
Today, my estranged dad drunk-dialed me at 4 a.m. to apologize, and to make amends. After crying and forgiving, we hung up. Minutes later, he called back to retract everything he said after remembering how I was rude to him at a party 3 years ago. FML
Today, I had to bail my ex-husband out of jail. He didn't want his new wife to get mad at him. FML

I'm just wondering what he did to end up in jail in the first place.

Is this the second half of the story about the pair who were caught skinny-dipping by the daughters cop father?

Even if he wasn't overprotective...why would it ever be HIS responsibility to bail YOUR boyfriend out of jail??

when my parents were dating, my dad was arrested for accidentally taking a pig from the wrong property than they'd bought it from. my mom's dad offered her one get out of jail free card, and she used it on him. my grandpa gladly bailed out my dad when everything was explained.

I guess I don't understand why you were calling your parents instead of his- with the exception everyone in his family is dead, I don't get it.

Why would you call your OVERPROTECTIVE father to bail your boyfriend out of jail? Call your boyfriends parents at least they might actually want to release him.

I suggest you come up with a creative reason for why he's in jail. Try using the phrase " religious persecution"

Would It Be Respectable To Ask For Gas Money Also To Get To The Jail.
