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?

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.

ive read some of the comments and i had to lol... btw it was a dinner time call and my dad was just frustrated because those guys keep calling eventhough we keep telling them to buzz off... however my gfs father was understanding and there was a quick patch up recently and the relationship is great... also we have nothing against other races because if we did then my parents would have disliked my girlfriend... but we accept her and her family accepts us... also i am not fully white, because my mom is from Thailand and my dad is from canada so... i too have felt prejudice

Hello, he is Indian, he most likely is a telemarketer.

Your dad is an idiot. You shouldn't cuss out anyone over the phone, ESPECIALLY if it is a telemarketer. Telemarketing is a job, people make money off it. You have no excuse to cuss out your Indian girlfriend's father, if you thought it was a telemarketer. No sympathy from me, whatsoever.

I don't know how it works where OP lives, but my house hold is on a list which means telemarketers should not phone at all. Therefore i would cuss them out for not doing their job properly. I mean, getting rang constantly is like harassment!

#102- It's not like they have a choice. It's the only way they can ignore living on the streets. And #99- Now because of you, I'm sure many telemarketers can't feed their children dinner. :/

DUDE...since you wanna stereotype, how about hearing something that might go against the grain in your perspective: I'm Indian and born/raised in Canada. I'm damn grateful for it. I've learned to use my background to my advantage rather than it be a weakness. I benefit from taking what's best from both cultures. I'm proud to be raised by my hard-working, well-educated parents who are very productive members if society. They raised me to have an open mind AS WELL AS an open heart (something cherished in Indian culture). As for my white fiancé, he holds my parents jn high regard and he is treated like family.
