Today, I found out I have to give my father-in-law back the football tickets he gave me for my birthday. Why? His girlfriend decided she wanted to go. He didn't get me a different gift. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad gave me a football signed by my favourite football player. It would've been great, except that I saw my dad sign it in front of me. The worst part is that he denies doing it. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad called to say she wasn't allowed to come with me on a three-day trip on New Year's. He waited until Christmas to say it, even though we booked and paid for the trip nearly a month ago. Now he ruined both holidays. FML
Today, I scored two prime baseball tickets from a supplier at work. I phoned my dad to tell him the good news. He said that's great, my brother and him would love to see the game. I said, no, I'm taking you to the game. He told me I was being selfish and hung up the phone. FML
Today, I gave my boyfriend our festival tickets to keep hold of while I excitedly went home to get ready. He took someone else. FML
Today, rather than get me a birthday present, my boyfriend just got angry that I got gifts from other people. Apparently, it "made him feel guilty." FML
Today, I heard my dad complaining that he won't be able to go to a concert, because it's happening on my birthday. This is the first time he's even acknowledged my birthday in over ten years. FML
Today, my almost-mother-in-law demanded I give my engagement ring back because it was originally her great-grandmother's, and she has now decided she wants it to go to her youngest son’s fiancée instead. My fiancé agreed and told me he’d just buy me another. He doesn’t get why I’m so upset either. FML
Today, as I was waiting in line to give my mom her birthday present, my dad gave her the exact same gift I'd also bought for her. FML
Today, my partner's mother and I had been planning a little surprise get-together for his birthday. A surprise weeks in the making was ruined by my dad asking, "Aren't you supposed to be going to (his parent's town name) this afternoon?" in front of him. Thanks dad. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me Kings of Leon tickets for my birthday. Since he thought I was irresponsible, he gave the tickets to his mum so I wouldn't lose them. The show is today, and we can't find the tickets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

For his birthday, buy him a hot tub, then say "oh nvm, I think I'll use it instead."

Didn't even get you a card??
vitty_z 16
yeah, this is where you grow a backbone and say "no." they were a gift to you, they're yours now and it's not your problem that his girlfriend wants to go.
vitty_z 16
she might have just said she wants to go to the game, and he was just too cheap to buy more tickets.

Something I don't understand is how their step-father has a girlfriend...? Unless their mom is permanently not in the picture..

You need to hit him were it hurts, go make a delicious sandwich and right as he has it in front of him, take it back. His world will be shattered, I know mine would be if I had a delicious SANDVICH taken away!

You're father-in-law doesn't seem nice.

He isn't the father-in-law, Mr. Silly.

I wouldn't give it back if I were you. I mean, it's not like he'll chase you down for it, right?

If they were tickets to the Browns game you saved yourself the trouble. They're going to lose, get embarrassed, then do it all over next week. It's hard for a team to statistically be THAT bad.

That's offense is terrible. Dink and dunk with colt mccoy? Best player is their left tackle...

If they were tickets to the LSU-Alabama game you better kill him now

What a git, don't get him anything for Christmas OR his birthday.

Or get him cheap tickets for an event he'd never want to go to, e.g. whatever kind of music he hates. Or get him a small gift certificate to a store that has nothing he'd want.
bigAC 6
wait why would it matter if HIS girlfriend didn't want to go?
LoveIsEnough 10
Then she could keep her tickets and didn't have to give them back to her father-in-law.

oooohh haha my bad I misread it sorry.

You're better off going to a bar and watching the game there. You'd get a better view, better beer, cheaper snacks, and better company.

True, and you can get all of that at Hooters, and they have more than one great view. Now I know where I'm going this weekend to watch the game.

I would never want to be a patient of yours for the simple fact you wouldn't give two *****! You can't be a doctor and a bastard. You have to be able to care bout people!
DocBastard 40
Jwade, what the **** do you know about how to be a doctor? My patients love me because I'm honest with them, and I don't pussy-foot around. I tell it like it is, and they appreciate my openness.

54- have you read docbastard's blog? He writes about stupid patients/doctors and how he practices medicine to help innocent people who get hurt. Do some research before you try to bitch someone out.
NoOneLovesYou 13
****, if you only go to doctors who play games, then you must really not give a shit about getting better. The job of a medical professional is not to be your best friend, sorry. You can care about people without being ridiculously outgoing and friendly. Not that you'd know, because I'm sure you have no idea how stressful that particular career path really is. Innumerable strenuous hours tend to make a person irritable.

54- why the animosity?

Well if they are already in your possession don't give them back and go anyway. Unless your father-in-law is a powerful maniac who can have you kidnapped, mutilated, or killed then "forget about it".

It was probably a Colts-Rams game. No sweat lost lol
