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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was pouring my heart out to my dad about how I'm such a loser and how I have no friends. He listened sympathetically, until his phone buzzed with a text message. He said, "Balls, the guys from work wanna get shitfaced!" and took a rain check on me. FML
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
Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML
Today, I invited a friend that I hadn't seen a few years to a baseball game because I knew they're big baseball fans. They ended up trauma dumping on me for two hours.. FML
Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML
Today, I called out of work, making an elaborate claim my wife was sick, and that I HAD to stay home to take care of her, because I have never played hooky from work before. That afternoon, at a minor league hockey game as I'm buying a hotdog with my wife, my boss from behind me asked, "How's the fam?" FML
Today, my dad was given 2 VIP tickets to see my favourite band in concert next week. You can now find them on eBay. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML
Today, I went to an amateur baseball game with some family and friends. When our team hit a home run, my grandpa took it upon himself to start screaming wildly, removing his prosthetic leg and waving it jubilantly in the air. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How in the hell does that make you selfish? I mean, all you wanted to do was spend some quality time with your dad. Plus, you won the tickets, why should he assume that your giving both of them away? Unless he thought you hated baseball or your brother is never around and the game happens to be on the one day he's actually in town or something of that nature, it is selfish of the father for him to automatically assume he is going and he can take whoever he wants. Unless your brother never ever is home (ie overseas and whatnot) you should go with out your dad if he's gonna be like that. Take your mom instead lol.

xxjohnx5 - Cool. So if we employ your train of thought, you are an incredibly selfish human being for not giving all your food, clothes and money to anyone who asks for them. Why should you enjoy something rightfully yours when someone else wants it more?! If some guy should come up and ask you for some of your pizza, you'd better hand the whole thing over so he can split it with his mates - I'm sure he'd rather eat it with them than with you, and I can't imagine how selfish you would have to be to reject him and expect to keep some of it for yourself. What a world, what a world. OP - Sorry man, I laughed heaps when I read this. I can see how he might have originally misunderstood and thought you were offering the tickets as opposed to offering to take him (maybe your bro likes the game more than you or something), but his response to the correction makes him a ********. Take someone considerably more awesome and have a blast.

Wow your dad's a jerk... It's one thing that he thought he was getting both tickets and could bring anyone else he wanted - but another thing entirely that he would choose to bring your brother and not you.

Judgeymcjudge, if all of my food money and clothes were given to me for free, i would give them to someone if they asked for it because thats the kind of generous person i am, and everyone esle should be. But apparently im selfish and the scum of the earth for thinking that way...

OP = Original Poster LOLWTF?! They're YOUR tickets. I would just tell him "I'm the one with tickets. I'm willing to take you if you want to come with me. If you don't, I'll ask my brother, and I'll go with him." That way it basically spells it out for him that they're YOUR tickets and you're being generous by offering to take him. If he can't get that, he's just an idiot and a jerk. If he wants to go with your brother and not you, tell him to get his own damn tickets.

Aww. Wow! People usually ask sibling friend or gf. You're so nice to think of your dad.
