Today, my dad watched the news and decided to start preparing for Hurricane Sandy by buying $300 worth of long-life and canned food. We live in Australia. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, my mom sold our electronic stuff to pay for hurricane shutters. We live in Chicago. FML
Today, my dad thought it would be a good idea to show my 5-year-old son a documentary about Hurricane Katrina. My son is now terrified of hurricanes. We live in Utah. FML
Today, my family and I are sitting in our house while Hurricane Sandy is going on. My grandma is freaking out because she believes it's our recently deceased dog Sandy getting revenge for putting her to sleep and getting a new dog. FML
Today, as he was going out, I asked my father if he stop by the store and buy some tampons for me and toilet paper for the house, because we have been out for the last 5 days. He came home with a 30-pack of beer and cigarettes instead. I just started my time of the month and we have no more money. FML
Today, I came home to find my dad's mid-life crisis has finally started. He's blacked all our windows, barricaded the door to the backyard, and set up a bunch of security cameras in and out of the house. It seems he's been reading up on Survivalist and Masonic conspiracy theory bullshit. FML
Today, my dad had a day off and was 'bored' so he decided to move our entire kitchen into our living room. We now have no running water, no oven that works and the entire house is a bombsite. He has an entire week off. FML
Today, my parents informed me that my dad is leaving my mom and moving to Florida from New York tomorrow. I just spent $300 on a new crossbow for his birthday, which is tomorrow, in hopes that he would spend more time with me. FML
Today, I had a huge yard sale. Since I live in a good neighborhood, I decided to leave the stuff out tonight rather than pack it all in for only a few hours. The news didn't say anything about the impending severe thunderstorm. FML
Today, my parents left me several frantic voicemails early this morning about the hurricane, totally in a panic that I wasn’t safe. I called them when I woke up and told them I was fine. They were actually angry that I wasn't in the eye of the storm, because they “worried for nothing.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She is pretty strong.

But what happen to all the other letters? I thought I would remember a hurricane that started with "Q"
SkoomaKi 28
^ Quagmire? I'm joking. But seriously, in Scotland we've only had 2 "hurricanes". Hurricane "Anny" and "Bawbag".

18- Do you remember what hurricane started with a? Or b? Or c? You only hear about the big ones
MagicGiraffe 12
18, they cycle tropical storm/hurricane names every few ears so just Google it. If I remember correctly they skip Q.
MagicGiraffe 12
Years* -.-
disney_blonde 16
They always skip the awkward letters: Q, U, X, Y, Z.

They should make a hurricane Xenu. Scientoligists would worship it, and it'd be hilarious.

40: hurricane Andrew and Charlie off of the top of my head. You made a horrible example, because both of those were recent and category 5.

Thank god I'm not the only one.

88, I wanna bet that 40 was referring to hurricanes from THIS year that started with a, b, or c..

You should admire your dad for being prepared. Even if he's prepared for something that's several thousand miles away.
StalkerChick 13
Exactly! You can never be too prepared.
unknown_user5566 27
While being prepared is generally a good thing, $300 seems like a lot of money to spend on something that will most likely not have any affect on you.
StalkerChick 13
I should have realized that sarcasm doesn't translate well in writing..

OP's dad is a smart man. Most parts of the world occasionally to deal with a natural disaster. Having emergency supies on hand is always a good idea.
Parky03 9
Safety first!
peachesncreem 21
Well they did say on our local news channels that the hurricane was big enough to hit all 3 states on the east coast of Australia. Maybe that's why he was confused?
oreily12 23
Can never be to prepared... I reckon

Have you ever participated in a food drive, 12? They specifically ask for canned foods because they stay good for a long time.
