Today, we were having a family dinner with my boyfriend's parents and mine. In the kitchen, when we were getting the food ready, he proposed. I screamed. My dad thought he was hurting me, came in and tased him in the leg. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I were at dinner with his parents when he discreetly slid his hand up my skirt and tickled me. This caused me to kick his dad's recently broken leg. FML
Today, I accidentally said "Yes Daddy” to my boyfriend while at dinner with his parents. They threw me out. My boyfriend did nothing to defend me. FML
Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML
Today, I introduced my dad to my boyfriend. I gave my dad the middle finger and he thumped me on the head, as we've been playfully doing for years. My boyfriend got all mad and tried to fight my dad. FML
Today, my boyfriend met my parents. Within minutes, my dad managed to verbally sever his balls and reduce him to tears, "just for fun" apparently. FML
Today, my dad met my boyfriend for the first time. He soon "casually" took a huge knife from the kitchen drawer and told my boyfriend that he's always wondered what it'd be like to stab someone. FML
Today, I was on a date with my boyfriend when he suddenly got down on one knee and proposed. A waiter tripped over him and spilled our food all over him. FML
Today, I was eating with my boyfriend and his family at a high-end restaurant when, suddenly, I screamed, thinking a dog had just bitten my leg. I am terrified of dogs. I kicked my under-the-table assailant as hard as I could. It was my boyfriend's adorable five-year-old sister. FML
Today, I had dinner with my boyfriend's family. His 3-year-old nephew came running for a hug. At the last second, he darted past my arms and bit me on the ass. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to a family barbecue. I guess my dad heard him talking about the "fun" we'd be having later, because over the next two hours, he tripped my boyfriend up on concrete, threw a beer can at him, and sprayed him full-force with a water hose. All "accidentally" of course. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Her dad was clearly so shocked by it that he had to share
soccerstar1996 18
Did you say yes?

Nobody cares that you thumbed the comment

I'd like to point out that I'm sure the dad shot ops fiancé in the third leg...
TheCanucklehead 22
It's all fun and games until somebody gets tased
gun6slinger9 9
The underlining problem here is op's dad does not like the boyfriend. Or the boyfriend has a history of abuse. Why else would a scream automatically lead to a tasing?
TheCanucklehead 22
Is ops dad Silas Robertson?

Wedding proposal gone wrong..

I was going to get married but then some thugs attacked me in the middle of my wedding.

The funny thing about this is that "taking an arrow to the knee" actually means getting married.

Why would your dad's first reaction be to grab a taser? Is he completely incapable of differentiating between a happy scream and a real one? Also, why would he assume he's hurting you...?
lonewolf621 17
People should atleast find out what the problem is then react... Bet he felt like an idiot of tasing him.
TourettesGuyFTW 26
Did he have a taser holstered, ready for action???
hutch66 13
Yeah, the boyfriend must have just been shocked.

Why do you even have a taser in your house? Be glad it didn't kill him.
Sfaizi24 17
You would have to taser someone 10 times consecutively for it to be fatal.
fsomelife 26
look up the statistics.
Treveyon56 14
I think the reason for having a taser in the house is the same for having a gun. Though the dad probably should have checked before activating protect mode.
graffitied_love 20
OP's dad could be a police officer. Having a taser is reasonable for an officer, on or off duty.
MikeonFML 17
Could be a lower strength one that he recently bought and had just been itching to use
fsomelife 26
The thing is that if you shoot someone in the leg, they most likely won't die. If you tase them, it almost doesn't matter where, if they can't take it, they can't. And just because someone's a cop doesn't mean they can tase whoever the hell they want to.

71 - a healthy young adult might be able to take 10 and only go into cardiac arrest once and be brought back... However a 30yr old man died in the UK not long ago from one taser shot. So go figure.
Lioness8197 18
I'm sure the boyfriend/fiancé was a bit 'shocked' at that reaction too
fsomelife 26
It's very unlikely that someone will have an out-of-the-ordinary reaction (if they have hemophilia, for instance) to a gunshot wound in the leg. Chances of some kind of heart issue that'll make a tase fatal or near fatal are much higher...
longlivemetal911 15
I believe that this could have been avoided, by getting the father's permission first like a real gentleman.
Thunderstruck14 30
True, he should have figured out why OP screamed first, but people shouldn't scream so often. Screaming is for emergencies. When someone screams, it makes sense to think that something terrible happened. Unless you're in real trouble, you shouldn't scream. Its annoying and it hurts peoples ears. Screaming is for calling for help. But also, people should be careful with tasers, you can't just go all trigger-happy and tase people whenever.

it's a Tennessee thing!! Trust me..

well did you say yes.

I know, right? She left us in suspense .__.

Congrats OP! I wonder if they had sex after OP's dad did that to piss him off.
punkyboy 11
57-it depends how many volts the dad put in him. For all we know he could be in the hospital
griffy14 9
The real question is, did he retract the proposal when he found out her father is nuts and tasers people without assessing situations.
NickKuiper 8
Your dad was just protecting his daughter, as all dads should. Don't hold it against him.
MissCharlotte_fml 26
Cant he tell the difference between a happy scream and a genuinely scared one? Also, nothing gives him an excuse to just assume he is hurting her and taze him. He should have taken four seconds to actually assess what is happening instead of jumping to conclusions.
rabidpeach 5
he should have gotten out his conclusions map. so then he could jump to a conclusion. ah the door is that way? ill let myself out...
imlifeless2 25
I suppose he was protecting her, but really? a taser?? I guess he's a "shoot first ask questions later" type of dad.
SasquatchDeluxe 10
If I'm a guy, I don't want anything to do with a father-in-law who will shoot first and ask questions later. What if the next time she screams, it's because she just found out she's pregnant, and his first reaction is to pull out a .45 and open fire? Sorry, but I'd have nothing to do with that family thereafter.
SuperGrover10 20
Doesn't every dad do that to his daughter's new fiancé?
calilovesneb 12
When I saw that Tennessee was the location I laughed so much harder.
SpamPam 18
Why?
michael666 7
haha he's lucky the dad didn't come out with his .44 magnum instead of a tazer.
