Today, I had just bought a new $60 basketball and decided to go try it out. Five minutes into playing, the ball decided to roll into the hands of a little girl, who then said, "Mine!" I thought it was cute, until she skipped over to her parent's car, and they drove off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was picking my daughter up at day care. She was outside playing kick ball. A red ball rolls over to me, and trying to impress the kids, I kicked it over the slide. I turn around to see three crying six year olds. It was their hamster ball. FML
Today, I went to a hockey game. While warm-ups were happening, my favourite player pointed at me and tossed me a puck. It bounced off my hand into another girl's, who was a fan of the other team. She refused to give it back, then walked away and said, "I can't wait to sell this on eBay." FML
Today, I was playing basketball outside in my driveway. I saw three cute girls walking by, so I thought I would try to show off a little by doing a backwards slam dunk. I jumped, completely missed the rim and hit my head on the backboard. Then my mom ran out to help me up. FML
Today, a ball rolled up to me, so I picked it up and threw it over the school wall. A little boy who was behind me asked for his ball back. It's Sunday and the school is closed. FML
Today, I was jogging in my neighborhood when I saw a kid's ball roll over to where I was jogging. I stopped, grabbed the ball for the kid and went to hand it to him. He then yelled, "Stranger danger!" and his parents came sprinting out. I had to explain the story to the police for 30 minutes. FML
Today, I was in the park for a walk when a ball rolled to my feet. Figuring it belonged to the kids not far off, I wound back and kicked. The ball had actually been kicked by someone else for their dog to chase and I ended up punting it in the head. FML
Today, I was playing one on one soccer with a girl like. I accidentally kicked the ball right into her face. The ball rolled back towards me and as I was running to see if she was ok, I kicked the ball… right into her face again. FML
Today, while playing basketball, my friend thanked me for passing the ball to him. I was too embarrassed to tell him that that was me shooting. FML
Today, I was playing basketball in our company gym. I took a shot from half court, and at that exact moment, an executive walked into the gym with an important potential client. My shot bounced off the side of the backboard, off some bleachers, and right into the client's head. FML
Today, I tried to show off my basketball skills to a cute girl at the park. I went up for a dunk and ended up getting stuck in the net, hanging upside down while everyone laughed at me. FML

You just got mugged by a little girl. They grow up so fast!

Selfish little girl. Why didn't you run and take the ball away from her as soon as she grabbed it?

Who spends $60 on a basketball??? Only to have it ripped off by a rugrat

Who spends $60 on a basketball period, unless it's signed I can't imagine it would be much better than a reasonably priced one

And I thought spending $100 on a video game was crazy...

It is...unless it's a bundle of at least 3 popular games (give or take) with a 12-month xbox live gold membership.

It was bf3 + premium.

OP's location is Hawaii. Everything in Hawaii is easily 3x more expensive than the inner states.

Actually, no everything in Hawaii is not that expensive. I got my basketball for like 20 dollars.

What kind of basketball is $60? I assume this is Michael Jordan's ball from Space Jam and it's gonna amplify your game by quite a bit?

The really nice indoor, leather balls are 50-60 bucks...which begs the question of why open was playing outside...

Reminds me of finding nemo.
walmartpaysme 15
Yeah... I'm not seeing the connection.
Welshite 40
I think she's referring to the seagulls constant cry of "MINE!!!" I may be wrong though.
spazz666 18
Actually I think the connection is the story line. Some divers find a fish, decide its theirs, and take it home. Just spitballing though.

Or maybe... Just maybe it is when the girl claims Nemo as hers. Like when she walked up and said something like I want this one and then that's when he fish thought of the plan to escape

Maybe she's talking about a symbolic level. The ball represents Nemo while op is Marlin. Op cherished that ball like it was his son, sure it wasn't perfect, but it was his, and for that, he loved it. Now without warning his ball wandered too far and was taken, never to be seen again leaving him distraught.

Apparently, #83 has never seen Finding Nemo because none of that happened in the movie
My_Nightmare 19
Apologies, the fish did plan to escape but the rest did not happen.

You're wrong. Darla said she wanted Nemo, so he was put in a plastic bag with water, and then he played dead when she started shaking it.
My_Nightmare 19
You're right about the playing dead part but she never pointed to him in the tank and said she wanted him. The dentist already had planned on giving Nemo to Darla and he was in the bag when she got to the office. When the dentist turned around to grab Nemo and show him to Darla he was already playing dead

Run over and ask the parents to return it. If they don't, give them a $60 dent in their car.

Ydi for spending that much on a damn basketball, what's wrong with you.
ElricMustang 23
Aww damn, we forgot he was supposed to stay inside all day and sit on his ass :/

There are cheaper basketballs.

I hope that $60 ball had a tracking chip in it. If not, then why would you pay so much for it...

That sucks, still must be nice for the parents to know they are helping their daughter get a job as a theif early on in life.
blahblahblah5_x 13
Why did you just let her walk away with the ball though?
