Today, my dad cussed out an individual on the phone because he thought it was a telemarketer. He was my Indian girlfriend's father. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a call from the company I applied to, only to have my father pick it up and make fun of the man's accent. They won't call me back or take any of my calls, and my dad is completely unapologetic. FML
Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML
Today, I called my dad, because I haven't spoken to him in a while, and I wanted to invite him to my graduation in May. When he picked up, I said, "Hey, how have you been, dad?" He scoffed, "Wrong number" and hung up the phone. FML
Today, I tried to reach out to an old friend. He answered the phone sounding half-asleep, then suddenly switched to an outrageously fake and racist Indian accent, and started yelling nonsense down the phone once I said my name. Guess that bridge is burned, then. FML
Today, my father called me for the first time in two weeks since I moved away. Excited, I answered the phone. It was a mistake. He thought he'd called my sister. FML
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML
Today, I had to listen to my mother flirting on the phone with my dad's new girlfriend's ex-husband. FML
Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML
Today, my dad came home drunk and called me hot. FML
Today, my friends thought it would be fun to change my dad's name on my phone to my girlfriend's name. Guess who got an erotic text message when standing next to me while in the line to buy groceries. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your dad should have asked where they were calling from first. Standard procedure for telemarketers at my house. And then you hang up on them once you have ascertained that it is a telemarketer on the other end.

hahaha, wow. That's so messed up. I bet the next get together is going to be very akward... O.o I hope he at least apologized when he figured out who the guy actually was. He should learn to ask who's calling before going off like that. Would save some embarrassment.

Why should that matter? People date because they like each other. Duh.

I'm Indian, AND a girl and my parents aren't strict at all. I find it's more traditional Indian parents who are "strict", and they're not even that bad compared to a couple decades ago. My dad says he would get beaten with a metal pipe if his parents found out he had a girlfriend. God knows what they did to girls. So if I get a bad mark on a test, yeah, I'm not allowed to go out for a week. If I wanna go on the computer, I have to ASK, big whoop. It's not that big of a deal. Everyone is always astonished at how "hard" my parents are on me. It's just ground rules I grew up to. The racism here is pissing me off.

73, you started off saying that your parents aren't strict, and then you tell us that you aren't allowed out for getting a bad mark on a test?! You're not helping stereotypes. Trust me.

Your dad sucks for having his first reaction to a telemarketer be cussing them out. They're obnoxious, but they're just doing their jobs and they aren't doing anything wrong. The worst you should do is hang up on them. He sucks even more for not realizing the guy didn't say "I'm calling to talk to you about X product today." I really hope this doesn't mess things up for you and your girlfriend. Most parents I know would have a serious conversation with their kid regarding their significant other's parents' rudeness, out of concern for the environment the significant other comes from.
