Today, I had my girlfriend over at my parents' for dinner. When we were done, my dad went around to collect all the dirty plates and stacked them on his arm. When he got to my girlfriend, the weight became too much and he and the plates fell on top of her. FML

Today, I went to my fiancé's house to have dinner with his family for the first time. Trying to be polite at the end of the meal I went to take the plates in to the kitchen. I overestimated how heavy the half-finished soup pot was, and threw soup all over myself and future mother-in-law. FML
Today, I washed the dishes for my mom while she was out, as they seemed to be piling up. I accidentally sliced my hand with a knife in the process. After a trip to the hospital, it was revealed she'd been leaving those dishes there "to teach dad a lesson." FML
Today, I was at my girlfriend's house having dinner with her and her parents. I was casually playing footsie with my girlfriend under the table, until her mom stopped eating and said, "You know that's my foot, right?" FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Dinner was going well until her dad secretly fed the asparagus to the dog under the table, and then "discovered" what a childish thing I had done. My girlfriend believed him. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend, saying I had a lot on my plate. She responded by throwing an empty plate at my windshield. FML
Today, my girlfriend accidentally put rubbish in the neighbour's bin. Then the old lady took all the rubbish out and threw it on the floor. I came out and tried to calm the situation, but then my girlfriend ran downstairs and tipped her cat food and cat milk bowls over. FML
Today, I was at my girlfriend's house, and she was tickling me. It got a bit rough, and she fell out of bed and hit the floor. Her parents, thinking we'd been fighting, burst into the room to see her holding her bloody nose. She didn't say anything while her dad kicked my ass. FML
Today, for the very first time, I invited my girlfriend's parents for dinner. I bought a pre-made oven dish, just to be sure nothing could go wrong. Once at the table, her mother asked pointedly who forgot to remove the plastic foil before putting it in the oven. FML
Today, I had my girlfriend over for dinner with my family. My father had dressed up as a girl for a recent gig of his at a local pub. This got somehow brought up at the table. The rest of the dinner conversation consisted of him and my girlfriend discussing bras and lingerie. FML
Today, during dinner, my new girlfriend's father stroked my leg several times under the table with his bare foot. FML

Well she may not be your ideal 'plate'. But I'm sure the universe will answer your 'dishes'.

This is his way of getting her ready for your kitchen! Dad meant well, but you need to tell him his views are kinda sexist. Hope she didn't get hurt too badly!

Poor girl, was he trying to impress her or something? If it was too heavy why not come back for the rest when you put those up?

More importantly, when seeing him struggling why did nobody offer to help? Its easy to sit back and go "oh man, dad embarrassed me" when you're not lifting a finger to help. YDI.

It may not have been that the plates were too heavy, but that he lost the balance of the plates on his arms. (Which are not wide enough to be balancing big, round plates on.)

I think it was just an excuse to get on top of her! Your dad is a sly man!

Your dad got on top of her before you did!

How implate of him. I guess she'll have plenty of time learning how to take care of dishes after you two get married, your dad was just rushing her ;)

Makes sense to me. Sexism: because why not.
