Today, I thought I would surprise my dad by mowing our entire two acre lawn. When he got home, instead of being grateful like I had hoped, he yelled at me for cutting in vertical lines instead of horizontal. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML
Today, I got home late to find my dad outside mowing the lawn in the dark. I told him the neighbors were going to think he lost his marbles for mowing it at that time. He then informed me he wasn't mowing it, he was vacuuming it. FML
Today, my father bought a riding lawn mower. We don't have a lawn. FML
Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML
Today, I mowed our lawn without being asked. My sister wouldn't stop yelling at me for not checking with her, because she wanted the grass to get long enough to "play jungle" in. My mom sided with her. FML
Today, my husband thought it would be funny to mow a penis into our lawn. I guess he forgot my parents are coming over. FML
Today, I tried fixing my dad's lawnmower after he said, "Girls can't change a lightbulb right, let alone fix a machine." An hour later, when I had the lawnmower running again, he bitched me out for trying to make him "look stupid." He's been sulking and acting pissy ever since. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML
Today, my dad yelled at me for being irresponsible while he watched me fold his laundry. FML
Today, I found out my dad gets my younger brother a Big Gulp from 7/11 every time he mows the yard. I mowed for three years straight and never got anything. FML

For being ungrateful, you should punish him by mowing a giant penis into the yard,,, or if you want to be really mean,, you could make that original penis, label it "average", and then mow in a comparably small one and label it "Dad/his actual name" (by labeling, I mean you mow the words average and dad/his actual name below the respective penises) and then take a picture of both from the roof of your house and send them to all his know acquaintances (from an anonymous email address) and then mow the areas around them to hide your handiword

An acre is an arbitrary, obsolete term. Just because I'm not American, and was brought up with an intelligent measuring system doesn't mean i'm an idiot, asshat. 1 Hectare = 100 metres x 100 metrex = 10,000 square metres. 1 Acre = 43,560 square feet = 4,046.8564224 square metres. Don't try to tell me your measuring system is in any way intelligent or superior to mine, or that you're not a jackass.

So it's 40% of a hectare. If you went through all that trouble to look it up, you clearly care way too much about this. Or, if you didn't have to look it up, you already knew how big an acre was. Either way, QYB.

....Intelligent measuring system? "Don't try to tell me your measuring system is in any way intelligent or superior to mine," Why not? That's pretty much what YOU'RE doing. :p

OP.. if you are female.. I think every girl would understand having their dad want the opposite of what they did.. no dad looks at the big picture its always "I must find an excuse for this deed" I feel for you

YDI for not knowing how to mow the lawn.

idk how this is a YDI, cuz obviously the dad was on his man pms. he should be grateful she did something unlike many people i know who would just sit there being lazy.
