Today, my dad made the local news. The business he owns is so run down and overgrown that it's officially a public health hazard. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out why the only business in town that operates in my chosen industry won’t hire me. Several months ago, my father antagonised the owner, bringing up my name in the process. I haven’t spoken to the man in five years. FML
Today, my dad ran over my foot with his work truck. FML
Today, the guy I picked on in high school got his revenge. He bought out my dad's car shop above market value and then closed it. My dad doesn't care, he gets to retire early, while I get to watch something I'd hoped to inherit get torn down and sold off. FML
Today, I visited my dad's grave to give it a clean, since moss and shit were starting to grow on the gravestone. Apparently this counts as vandalism, according to the groundskeeper, because soap and water can damage the stone and make it crumble faster. Yes, the city cops sent me a fine. FML
Today, and for the past week, I've come to accept that my dad's business is failing. He's used to hiring people willing to work for little pay from a street corner, and now those guys have all but vanished. No "real" Americans want to work for him, even for minimum wage. This country is fucked. FML
Today, I went to visit my father. His new wife has hoarded out our childhood home nearly to the point of it being unliveable. That’s pretty funny, considering my dad used to literally beat us if our rooms weren’t clean or we left dishes in the sink. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, my boss fired me from my job at a local family-owned business. Thanks, mom. FML
Today, my dad decided that he shouldn't have to wear clothes in the privacy of his own home. FML
Today, wanting to do something nice for my dad, I mowed the lawn. He grounded me for "emasculating" him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Give him a hand on cleaning, instead of going online and writing about it. Help him out!

What type of business continues to stay "in business" after being neglected like that?

If he's neglecting you the same way he is neglecting his business, then FYL two times.

No such thing as bad press

I never understand why people post FMLs in which nothing happens to them. I just can't rate them, because I have no idea if they're life sucks or if they deserved it. Fmylife team, change the rating to "That's Unfortunate."
