Today, my dad mentioned how quickly I go through batteries. I've been single and celibate since I moved back home 11 months ago. He doesn't realize this and keeps asking about "missing" batteries. FML
thundermoo tells us more.

OP here, I don't buy my own because I don't have a job. I'm a full time college student and I provide at-home care for my father, who can barely walk due to peripheral vascular disease.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why aren't you buying your own batteries? If you want things to be discrete then you have to take the first step in making it that way. Also, try re-chargeable batteries if it's really that big of a problem.

Buy some batteries so he won't catch on.

Why don't you.. I don't know, use your hands? Those don't use batteries.

"moved back home" definitely implies that you're at a point in your life that you don't have an excuse to not buy your own batteries.

It's not celibacy if you're still getting off.

I have a rechargeable "friend". Best purchase ever. You should invest in one.

This is not really an fml. This is entirely your issue. The fml should really be about a weird daughter moving back in, batteries disappearing and weird vibrating noises and moans all the time...

But you can buy the toys?

I had a similar situation. You can buy a rechargeable toy on Groupon for a reasonable amount.

You're a full time student and you take care of your father... yep I can see why you go through a lot of batteries.

#82 Coming from someone who actually works in an adult toy establishment I have yet to come across a toy that doesn't work with rechargeable batteries, just saying. Also OP rechargeable toys can be really cheap, last a long time and come with great warranties . Definitely worth looking into.
