Today, my father threw out my $100 wedge of blue cheese because it "smelled funny". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Batshit soup
Today, I was doing laundry and realized that my father had left dirty underwear soaking in a bucket outside for the last two weeks. I informed him that they needed to be thrown out, and they smelled like sewage. It's been over 95 degrees outside lately here. He then yelled and sweared at me. FML

Today, after I learned a long time ago that it's prudent to smell your shredded cheese as with milk to check its freshness, that lesson came into play when I doubted the quality of some cheese my roommate was going to use for nachos. I smelled it and got the dry heaves from the stink. He can't smell anything. FML
Today, my dad opened my fridge, let rip a horrible fart into it, then closed it and said "There ya go, a little somethin' for supper." FML
Today, my dad threw out all my food because a fly landed on a loaf of bread still in its package. He claims the bread and everything else that touched it is "contaminated". That was all the food I had for the rest of the month. FML
Today, I had to pick my parents up from the hospital and drive them back home, after they were treated for eating large amounts of cheese that my dad claimed to have "aged" for several years. FML
Today, there was a laundry basket of my clothes sitting in my room. My dad asked me if they were clean or not. When I said I didn't know, he picked up a piece of my clothing, sniffed it, and said it smelled fine. That piece of clothing just so happened to be my underwear. FML
Today, I found my dad using my bathroom. Why? Because he "had to take a crap" and didn't want to stink up his own bathroom. FML
Today, I decided to make myself a nice meal. I bought expensive pasta and sauce etc. It looked delicious, I decided the finishing touch would be some parmesan cheese. I grabbed the bag and threw a handful of cheese on my meal. The cheese was about 98% mould. FML
Today, my dad found a couple of coins on the floor next to my desk, and gave me a lecture about how money doesn't grow on trees and how irresponsible I am when it comes to money. They were Chuck E. Cheese tokens. FML
Today, while sorting through my clothes, I found one of my ex's old sweaters. After a lot of thought and difficulty, I threw it out. I felt empowered, until my father later rifled through my trash and claimed the sweater for himself. FML

After telling you the tragic news, your father went into his bedroom, locked the door, and took a mini fridge out from under the bed. He reached through the intricate array of expensive cheeses to remove his most recent acquisition, holding it to his face and smiling. You aren't the only cheese luver in your family, boy.

He's implying that spending more than about $5 ($100–$95) on cheese is a waste of money.

Sounds like you threw out about $95 yourself.

You obviously haven't had some good blue cheese before

You obviously haven't had a budget before.

I always find so weird how people on this website judge others for using their own money. As far as we know, OP bought that cheese, it may sound to you ridiculous to spend that much money on cheese but he is perfectly entitled to do whatever he wants with this cash. I have girlfriends who spend hundreds on beauty treatments. One actually recently spend 60 eur (70 dollars) on fake eyelashes that will last a few weeks. I'd rather spend my money on something else, like a trip or nice food but to each their own.

Throw him out then. Dig the cheese from the trash and let it assume the role of your father.

Tell him he smells funny. Then fake gag. Always works.

If you can afford to buy $100 wedges of cheese you can probably afford to move out and live on your own.

who says op hasn't moved out of home and dad wasn't visiting?
InfiniteSunshine 32
You don't even know how old the OP is, they could be a minor. Your logic is also ridiculous, $100 is a lot for cheese, but overall, not really that much money. Just because they can afford to spend $100, you think they can afford, rent/mortgage, food, transportation, utilities, etc. The cost of living on your own exceeds $100 greatly.

I'm well aware how much the cost of living is being that I'm married with two cars and the sole provider financially. My point being that yes in the big picture $100 is not a lot compared to the cost of living. Though for many families $100 is about half of a months grocery budget. So yes I'm assuming this person makes money if they spent that on a portion of cheese. Does it suck it got thrown out by their dad, yes of course. How to prevent this from happening again move out to your own place. More then likely if OP lived on their own the FML would have stated my dad came over to my place and went through my fridge and threw out an expensive piece of cheese of mine because he didn't know better.

OP stating if they live on their own or not is pretty irrelevant to the main point of the fml itself.

Maybe it's part of their job. Maybe they're a cheese reviewer. Maybe their dad was visiting I mean I am curious too about how you get to the point where you spend $100 on cheese but there's no reason to jump to conclusions.

We don't even know that OP bought the cheese. It might have been a gift or a prize and was simply worth $100.

Everyone is allowed to splurge. I'm sure you've made extravagant purchases and then gotten judged by others. So unless it was your own money op spent, chill out and back off.

You must really like cheese to spend 100$ on it. Was it at least a big piece of cheese?
Moerighan 23
$100 for cheese? Don't get me wrong, I love cheese, but I'm also stingy as hell.
Shadowvoid 33
Looks like he Bleu it. If it's your house, maybe you can throw him out. If not, maybe you could find a container that would contain the smell of the cheese. P.S. Fight for that money back
InfiniteSunshine 32
It's blue cheese, it's supposed to smell funny. That's a lot of money that he just threw away because he doesn't have common sense. He needs to either pay you back the $100, or buy you a new wedge of cheese. My parents and I had this sort of rule when we lived together which worked pretty well so stuff like this didn't happen, "If it isn't yours, you don't touch it, or at the very least, you ask first."

Lol, at least blue cheese is one of the more unusual types of cheese. My dad once threw away parmesan cheese - PARMESAN cheese!! because it smelled 'off'. Come on man, you're over 50, how can you not know what parmesan cheese is supposed to smell like?
