Today, I went to a concert with a friend of mine. When his dad came to pick him up, I walked towards the car, expecting a ride. His dad told me he didn't have time to drive me home. I'm his neighbour. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my friend and I were getting picked up by his dad after a carnival. As I put my stuff in the back of the car and shut the door to walk around to get in the other side, his dad drove off, thinking I was in the car, leaving me to walk up their hill. It was midnight and I ended up lost. FML
Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. 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, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML
Today, I went for a run when my shin splints acted up, so I called my dad to have him come pick me up. When I saw his car approaching, I stuck out my thumb like a hitchhiker, as a joke. The car pulled over to give me a ride. It wasn't my dad. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were driving around town in his car. To my surprise he took me out to lunch. As we were leaving, a girl walks up and asks if he had room for one more for a ride, sadly he only has two seats in his car. Guess who had to walk! FML
Today, my dad came to pick me up. It would have been nicer if he'd had his clothes on. FML
Today, as a good friend, I went to pick up my buddy from the airport. I arrived at the wrong terminal and waited for an hour before realizing he had landed an hour earlier at the other terminal. By the time I found his whereabouts, he'd already taken an Uber home. FML

Yeah, there's a way to win your friends father over.

Thats not the kind of person I would like to win over.

Your right, who would want their friends father and neighbor to like him? Especially when he's such a dick that he didn't cancel his plans to give OP a ride home when OP ****** up and didn't actually arrange a ride home and assumed someone else would drive him.
lizh_fml 9
The kind of person who would abandon you presumably late at night when they live right next door and they know you have no way of getting home arranged? You know what, thats perfectly reasonable and because OP made a mistake they should just hitchhike or walk.

And what if they have a plane to catch, someone to see in the hospital, or an appointment etc. If OP was old enough to go to a concert alone he should've known well enough to make plans and not just assume he could figure it out on the spot. Nobody said he had to hitchhike, maybe his parents picked him up. Either way, he deserved it for assuming he had a ride rather than making sure.

I agree the OP should have maybe checked but when I went to concerts (at the age I needed driven by a parent) it was usually understood unless stated otherwise that would be shared between the parents.When I've been driven home by friends parents before (when it was pre-arranged) they have made stops and went to other places on the way. It would have to be an extreme emergency to leave someone elses kid at a concert to wait for someone to pick them up.

As said above, what if they were going to an airport or something? There's just some places you can't bring other people.

As said above, you would think the friends parents would mention they could not give the OP a lift. I think that would be courteous and careful.

uhm 'lalala', you're quite ignorant aren't you? you'd think that if their neighbors and he's taking his son home, he OBVIOUSLY has time to take his sons' friend home and if not, he could drop him off at his friends house and he could walk from there. and why the hell would op arrange a ride when both him and his friend are going to the same area ..?

Did you even read my comments? If he didn't have time he probably was NOT going home. Believe it or not, but sometimes people make plans and go places other than home.

that's just plain rude
lalala2589 0
It was rude for OP to assume he would drive him home. What if he wasn't going home?
JennaMarie420 2
Then he could just say he's not going that way, not that he doesn't have time. If he was in fact going home then it's rude. Even if he didn't want to take the time to stop at OP's house OP could've just walked home from their house, hence the term neighbor.
