Today, my dad offered to pay me $40 to wash his car. Needing money to buy a video game, I agreed, and went out in the freezing weather to do the job. I finished the task, only to be paid in Monopoly money. My dad still hasn't gotten over how "funny" his prank was. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML
Today, my father took revenge on me for bankrupting him in a game of Monopoly. His revenge consisted of having a truckload of sand dumped in my driveway while I was at work. FML
Today, as I was walking home from school with my guy friends, my dad pulled up by the sidewalk, offered me a handful of dollar bills and said, "Get in, baby." Only after we drove away and he started laughing did I realize I'll probably never hear the end of this at school. FML
Today, while paying for groceries, I opened my wallet to find that all my cash had been exchanged for Monopoly money. FML
Today, my dad said that if I walked home from school, a distance of 8 miles, he would give me $50. Two hours and four massive blisters later, I come home. When I asked for my money, he said "I was kidding." FML
Today, after paying back the money my grandma lent me to fix my car, I stepped outside, only to see my car leaking antifreeze all over the driveway. I had to ask for the money back to fix it again. FML
Today, I gave my dad $40 and asked him if he could get me lunch on his way back home. Long story short, he came back empty handed telling me it was my fault for trusting him with McNuggets. FML
Today, I received a tip in Monopoly money. FML
Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Troll dad! Next time, make sure he pays you before hand. Plus, you should have figured there was a catch when he offered you 40 bucks just to wash his car.

I like your dad.

Wow that's ****** up!
cr3ativity 15
What's ****** up is your identification name. What are you, born on the 24th of May, 1990?
AbstraktThoughts 13
14 - I don't think you should be one to be criticizing...your name isn't as cool as unicorn shit either.
cr3ativity 15
Unicorn shit is still shit :P Albeit, I concede my comment was harsh. It's just that his username reminds me of spammers on RuneScape that are trying to advertise gold (in game currency) for actual money.
AbstraktThoughts 13
Unicorn shit is not just shit. It's ******* unicorn shit. Have you ever witnessed a unicorn ********? ******* pure gold. That is all.
annie_nk 23
Now what would be funny is if someone's username is Unicorn Shit.

14 - No, she was the 1,990,245th baby born after the resignation of Nixon. Duh.

20- never admit that you play a game like run escape on the Internet, ever!
UnicornShit 2
23 - Well?
RS808 6
Pure gold, damn.. All my unicorn ever shit out was diamonds. Anyway, OP, park it under a really big tree that birds flock in, if you can find one. You both win.

26 - RuneScape is a great game that I thoroughly enjoyed playing. There! I said it!

Halo 4! Guarenteed :)

39 - First comment ever. I knew someone was gonna make a new profile. So congrats on being the first one to it... I guess.

39 - I applaud you for creating an account specifically for this pupose. Well done, and a million internets for you! :D
BunchieRules 31
Purpose*. Again, I am cursed by the inability to edit comments on the Android app. Oh well.

Let me guess - it was Halo 4.

I like your dad.

I would've taken his car to a wash-n-go for 6 bucks and make a $34 profit! But at least it builds character.. Yeah never mind.
mikeofthunder 13
But as it 'twas revealed, you wouldn't have made a profit; as OP was paid in Monopoly money.
Lindahhxd 7
Ah right, lol forgot about that when I wrote my comment. Thanks, haha.

Black ops 2...

56- Halo 4... Assassin's Creed 3...

Offer to wash his car another day and throw hot water on the windshield
Charmillionaire 13
Try hot glue. Or lava. If you can get lava, do that.
LollipopDragon 4
I don't know if you're joking or not, but hot water would crack and/or shatter a frozen windshield.
Keevarou 17
Easy, just find a volcano and iron bucket :3
supportcommand 17
No no no... You have it all wrong. You're supposed to use steel wool so you can really scrub the dirt off. It works excellent.
laden_swallow09 35
Sorry, 37. Minecraft jokes aren't appreciated here that much, if at all.
CyborgBanana 12
65 - Speak (type? Lol) for yourself please.
winkydog4056 16
#36 - Aye, hot water would indeed crack/shatter a frozen windshield....indeed exactly the point commenter was making.
green2go 14
Just run water over Theodore to freeze them shut lol
jeragonm 15
That's the point!

Wtf is that gonna do

Take a shit on the car.

annie_nk 23
Glad I wasn't the only one who pictured a troll dad prancing away lol
Neonemerld 21
A catch? You mean besides washing a car in freezing cold weather?
emilyjgraham 34
58, that much money for washing a car is silly! No matter what the weather's like. At least OP knows next time!
X_Codes 11
@67 - Actually, it sounds reasonable to me. Depending on the car, washing it by hand can take a couple hours, and doing so in cold weather is extremely unpleasant since you'll be in contact with cold water the entire time.
tabbycat2007 22
91 why would anyone pay $40 for someone to wash their car when you can go to a carwash and spend less than $20 to get it done? OP should've known something was up.
tehcyberman 9
Well, financially speaking, that was a bad deal for the dad. However, assuming he hasn't been a troll, most parents like to pay their kids to do jobs around the house, because it gets them prepared for what the worlds like.
bates123 7
111 parents sometimes pay over the odds for their kids to do something so that they are helping them financially without just giving them money, seems pretty reasonable to me, especially when they would have known about the video game OP wanted
oj101 33
Just wait until you put a hotel on Mayfair. Then you'll be the one who has the last laugh.
Schizomaniac 24
That's pretty cold.
myoukei 31
Or at least OP was.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
Simply dirty it up again. Through a little dirt. Some leaves on top of the driver seat, whip cream on the wheel. Spit on the hood (believe it or not it leaves a white stain, almost like bird poop). Just dirty the thing up, as long as you don't break anything.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
Throw* I meant Throw. Sorry. There's no getting by that one, honest mistake. :X
cr3ativity 15
Been there, done that. Officer Barbrady: There's nothing to see here folks, just keep it moving.
copo37 7
Realize that it's still the parent, and while the Dad pulled a prank, it's not a two way street. Doing what you suggested would probably result in punishment.
Neonemerld 21
If OP and his dad have a strong relationship, and they're both mature about it, back and forth pranking can actually be a lot of fun.
Jaxx66 21
30- just because OP is the child, does not give his dad the right to be such a dick and be able to get away with it. If OP's dad can't handle a dose of what he's giving out, he should have grown up and not pulled that shit.
greeneyebeauty9 28
smart guy

I guess someone won't be buying Black Ops 2 on release day.
283leis 8
No it's probably for Assassin's Creed 3, or one of the two newest pokemon games.
bestnameright 14
Beat me to the comment!
panda_burrito 2
I'm thinking Halo 4.
splatterband6487 4
I love the fact that we are all arguing about what game he wants to buy.
tehcyberman 9
Guys please, he is obviously buying FarmVille 2.
sammyjanette 17
Just dirty it up again. He went back on his end of the deal, so you can go back on yours.
