Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my father stole the money I'd saved up by working and spent it all gambling. I'd saved it up for a year for a new car. FML
Today, my mother asked me if she could borrow $200. Being the lovely daughter I am, I gave her my bank card to withdraw it herself. She gambled it away and maxed my bank account out. I had $1500 saved. FML
Today, I placed $20 in a slot machine at a casino and in a matter of 5 minutes lost it all. My sister then sat at the same machine, put her $20 in and quadrupled her money. FML
Today, I lent my sister $1000 because she and her husband were in some debt. They used the money to go gambling in Vegas and won a major jackpot. They won't even give me a cut. FML
Today, I found out my dad spent most of the $500 I earned from mowing lawns on an Xbox 360 for himself. He was the one who encouraged me to put the money in the bank for college and to learn responsibility. I'm 14 years old. He's 37. FML
Today, I was at a mini arcade and accidentally put a hundred dollar bill through the quarter machine. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, I indulged in some online gambling. I wisely only spent $100 and won, quite a bit; I even wisely withdrew 2/3rds of the money into my bank account. Thing is I'm on SSI, which requires me to keep a maximum amount of money in my bank; if it goes over I get cut off. Now I'm scrambling to spend my winnings. FML
Today, my dad sent me $200 by mail, only to mail it to the wrong person. So now some random person is getting $200 from my dad. FML
Today, I was gambling on pull tabs. My friend, never much of a gambler, asked to take one. I was confused but gave one to him anyway. I got precisely $0 from them. The tab I gave to my friend was a winner. How much was it worth, you ask? Six hundred dollars. I'm very happy for him, but… seriously? FML

He should at least give you your dollar back. Sorry OP, some people just happen to be pricks.

To me, it is obvious who's money it is. Yours. Your dollar, your winnings (or your loss if it had come up nothing).

Offer to go to the store to buy groceries for your dad. Have him give you money to pay for the groceries. Ask him if he wants anything. If he does, buy it, bring it home, and eat it in front of his face. If he complains, say, "I was the one who gave the cashier the money, so it's mine by your logic."

Legally, it is his money, because he was the one gambling; since you're not old enough, you would have to officially give him the dollar and it becomes his. I think it's a jerk move for him to keep the money, though-- if I were he, I would split the money half-and-half.

Pretty sad when you realize Daddy's an asshole isn't it? But then you probably already knew it?

My parents used to buy me lottery tickets to scratch cause I always seemed to hit something. Then the game would always be over or the ticket no good when I wanted the money. I know what the hell I won lol
