Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my mother started nagging me for spending $500 on a guitar, stating that, "We're not in the mood for unnecessary bullcrap." I paid for it with MY money, and she suddenly turned up at MY house because my father kicked her out of their house after finding out that she cheated on him. FML

Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. FML

Regardless of OP's family situation, he should have been asked first. And what about OP's dad? Wasn't there something of his own he could have pawned off?

In his defense, gas in California is really expensive. But still, FYL.

It's okay, you probably sucked anyways.

Been there, OP. My parents sold my guitar and have pawned my violin at least three or four times. (They hadn't paid for either of those things.) Before I un-linked our checking accounts, they used to take money from mine without telling me. Sometimes they ask, but it really bothers me when they don't. I know they're doing their best and I'd give them pretty much anything they asked for, but it sucks not to get that courtesy -- not to mention having to worry about an overdraft on my checking account because I don't immediately know what they've taken. If you think you and your dad can talk to each other calmly and reasonably and with mutual respect, try to have a conversation where each of you sees the other's point of view. Either way, don't worry. You can get that guitar back, and one day you'll be on your own and won't have to deal with this stuff.
