Today, I went down to my grandparents' house to spend some time with them. I was in the guest room when I noticed a box in the corner of the closet labelled "Crap". I opened up the box to see my Dad's John Elway Autographed Football in it. I got it for him for Christmas, it cost me $600. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad gave me a football signed by my favourite football player. It would've been great, except that I saw my dad sign it in front of me. The worst part is that he denies doing it. FML
Today, my Dad came home with a $500 jacket that he'd bought himself for Christmas. I'd bought him the same one, and it's non refundable. 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, the first gift I opened was from my uncle. It was $80 in clothes that I'd bought for myself a week earlier. FML
Today, I finally got a Christmas gift, a calligraphy set, for my father that I have been looking for for a month. My dad came home happily with the same calligraphy set today, saying that he surprised himself for Christmas. He got it cheaper than me. FML
Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML
Today, I realized that not only did my parents not get me anything for Christmas, they also stole the $500 my grandparents gave me to buy a computer. FML
Today, I got home from work to find my wife asleep in her easy chair with my two year old son asleep in a pile of torn-up paper. I soon found out it was my 1960s collection of a Superman comic book series that I inherited from my dad. It was worth well over $2,000. FML
Today, my mother sent off a handmade Christmas wreath I made for my 70-year-old grandmother. It wasn't until after it was sent that we realized the box it was packed in was originally for adult diapers. FML
Today, I finally got around to cleaning out my mother's things after her passing. In the process I found a fancy box. What did it contain? A collection of crack pipes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You got your dad a John Elway autographed football? FHL

So basically you're trying to say... He's a soccer fan right?

Maybe. Or he could be in that surprisingly large number of those who have a phobia of horse-toothed people. I'll bet the "Crap" box has a lot of Osmond Family records in it.

LMFAOOOOO. If he really had a phobia, then I'm sure he would of gotten rid of it though. That's a funny phobia. Unless his dad actually values crap... Then his son is just overreacting.

I'd like to add to that. I also noticed OP was at his grandparent's house. Maybe his dad is dead and passed on the football and the grandparents being of the older generation viewed it as crap. Or his dad is a hermit socialist commie who hates America and lives with his mommy.

You spent a lot of money on a bit of obscure sports memorabilia. Why? Did your Dad ASK for something like that?

This. I have to wonder if you bought it because it was hard to get and expensive, or because you genuinely thought he would like it and had shown interest in similar items.

I highly doubt he would spend that much money on a present if he didn't think his Dad would like it.
