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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, as I was walking home from work, my dad drove past, pulled over, rolled down the window and asked, "Are you tired of walking?" To which I replied "Yes!" Just as I reached for the car door, he yelled "RUN A WHILE" and sped off. FML
Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. FML
Today, I had to walk three miles home from work. Both my parents were at home. The reason they wouldn't collect me is apparently because I've "gotten so fat, your grandma cried after she saw you". 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, 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
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 went for a run when my shin splints acted up, so I called my dad to have him come pick me up. When I saw his car approaching, I stuck out my thumb like a hitchhiker, as a joke. The car pulled over to give me a ride. It wasn't my dad. FML
Today, I missed my bus. I had to ride my bike 2 miles. Once I left, some jerk nearly hit me. I flipped him off and shouted obsceneties. It was my dad, offering me a ride. He left. FML
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

lol no that's not a lot... walking they should be able to clear more than 8 miles - easily... and you font have to be an exercise maniac to be able to do this stuff... I've gone to 8 high schools and there were plenty of people at all of them that could do it easily..

$25 a hour? geez... I'm no American... but 8 miles is 12.6km, and it takes 2.5 hours to walk 12.6km... but if my dad made me walk that long... I'd make him pay me $50 and hour... plus an extra $25 for the .5 hrs. He said he'd pay you.. make him pay up! Don't take no for an answer after blisters...

lol I've had to walk 24km in 3 days... sure it may not add up to your walking in the summer... but it's hard on people who aren't fit enough to do it, which I am fit enough to do, or have exercise induced asthma like me, or just simply don't do it often. If her feet aren't used to walking that long... then she has every right to complain. I'm pretty sure you complained some before you walked 10km every day and got used to it.

How the story goes if he got the money: My dad paid me $50 to walk 8 miles from school to my house. $48 and a 4 minute car ride I came back with a weeks supply of McDonalds.
