Today, my dad found a couple of coins on the floor next to my desk, and gave me a lecture about how money doesn't grow on trees and how irresponsible I am when it comes to money. They were Chuck E. Cheese tokens. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Today, I found out my dad spent most of the $500 I earned from mowing lawns on an Xbox 360 for himself. He was the one who encouraged me to put the money in the bank for college and to learn responsibility. I'm 14 years old. He's 37. FML
Today, my 4 year old son thought it was funny to put money in the shredder. He stuck over 500 dollars in it. FML
Today, my son stuck coins in our DVD player. It would be cute if he wasn't 25. FML
Today, I let my dad put my dollar in the slot machine for me because I'm not old enough to gamble. I won $200 but he kept it because he "put the dollar in the slot machine." FML
Today, my father threw out my $100 wedge of blue cheese because it "smelled funny". FML
Today, my dad came home from Vegas. Today, my college savings account is down by $64,000. FML
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It is money -- at the Cheesiest Place on Earth! How else are you going to play the games to earn the tickets that give your family such a highbrow lifestyle?

Hell, I'm 17 and I still get excited at the thought of going to Chuck E. Cheese. I always use the 5 year old kid I babysit as an excuse to go. :)

They could have been for his kid or a younger sibling.

^ I don't always go to Chuck E. Cheese's, but when I do: I make sure I have the most badass of a fun time a 70 year old has ever had there.
plaguer 26
What's the big deal? OP could have taken a young family member there, or attended a birthday party. And it's pretty ******* fun anyway.

Sounds like the most interesting man in the world! ^

They still don't grow on trees.

And in this economy those tokens might be worth more than the dollar. Does anybody happen to know the current exchange rate for USD to Chuck E. Cheese tokens?

Why on earth would you have those?

Chuck E. Cheese coins are worth money, so you deserve it!
The_Hitdude 12
Not after you pay for them. Try cashing tokens at the bank, then come back to us.

Somebody once told me vending machines count them as quarters, but I've never tried it out. But if that's true then they're kinda worth something.

Imagine what he would of done if they were Quarters
ApologyKick 25
My assumption is that the father believed they were real quarters.
plaguer 26
Yes, shiny golden quarters with a picture of a mouse hey wait a minute.
RedPillSucks 33
I imagine he didn't look close enough and did think they were quarters.
ApologyKick 25
Well 23, most quarters are shiny if you take care of them... Wait that must mean you don't take care of your quarters! OPs Dad, sick him!
plaguer 26
Forget the quarters, I've somehow defied all science and changed genders! incredible!

But quarters aren't gold...

That makes them more valuable! who doesn't enjoy a sweaty, bouncy playground for 9 year holds?

9 year holds? Where do you live that your local Chuck E. Cheeses is mostly for safety equipment?
