Sports, Awkward, Parents and Love: Catch!

Catch!

By Jaxter - 18/03/2009 05:41 - United States

Today, I was walking up to girlfriend's house when her terrifying Marine Corps dad threw a football at me. Not being very athletic, I surprised myself by catching it. He gestured for me throw it back and I watched it spiral wildy to the left and hit my girlfriend's mom in the face. FML

Today, my first time meeting my girlfriend's dad ended with him chasing me from his house and trying to hit me with a baseball bat. FML

Today, I met my girlfriend's dad at a tennis game. I could tell he despised me from the start, but it only got worse when I played him. He smashed the ball at me and I went to hit it, but I missed and fell over, tearing my arm up on the gravel. He had a smirk on his face for the rest of the day. FML

Today, my girlfriend dragged me along to one of her family's paintball matches. Her father is a former marine, and hates my guts. He kept going well out of his way to hunt me down and pump as many rounds into me as possible without causing a scene. FML

Today, I was sneaking over to my girlfriend's house. I sent her mother a text message thinking it was my girlfriend saying "There's a stalker coming in to make you his play mate ;]" Unfortunately when I got to her window I was greeted by her dad with a bat. FML

Today, I was kicking my soccer ball with my father. My mom pulled out in the car without checking and ran into to me. FML

Today, while at a football game, I had my arm around my girlfriend. We were really close and I was just about to kiss her when suddenly her phone rang. It was her dad, telling her he's watching. FML

Today, I was walking my girlfriend to class when my friend came by and playfully punched me in the arm. Trying not to look like a wimp, I turned around to hit him in the arm. Instead, I ended up punching a girl in the face. Now my girlfriend won't talk to me and I'm suspended. FML

Today, in a sporting goods store, my mom was over on the other side of the store, when a cute guy came over to talk to me. When she saw this she grabbed a bat, walked over to us and said, "If you ever even look at my daughter again, I will beat you shitless." She was serious. He ran. FML

Today, I was walking around in a park when I passed some kids playing soccer. One of them kicked the ball as hard as he could at me. Luckily, I caught the ball, then I drop-kicked it, intending to say, "Go get it." Instead, it bounced off a nearby tree and hit me in the face. FML

Today, after soccer practice I was looking for my dad. Last night he was an hour late, so I was pretty pissed. When I spotted him, I saw him flirting with a much younger woman. I then tried throwing my soccer ball to his feet, but ended up slamming his head. Only to find out he wasn't my dad. FML

I sympathize. I'm a girl. I'm straight. However, I have the football-catching abilities of a sack of flour. Throwing is something I am even worse at. I feel bad for you because her scary father is probably going to get a whole lot scarier after this instance :(

#4 what does being straight have to do with throwing a football?

No Brady Bunch references in the comments? In my day, any time anyone talked about getting hit in the face with a football, someone at least tried to make a reference back to it.

That's what you get for being a baby, being afraid of the marines (who save all our butts), even worse being afraid of/not liking football, and lastly that's what you get for having a crappy throw! You should have just ran it up like a runningback jokingly, and been like "all-star tailback rite here sir!" lol #7- got 'em! Hahahaha dude how the hell do you not like football... honestly?!? I'm a great wrestler, that's ALL i do sports-wise, and i STILL play football for our school, even though im only average at it! I mean, that's how fun football is! Everybody likes it! You a DISGRACE to da MAN RACE! (watch snickers start flying at you out of nowhere) haha

People who claim that lacking football skills somehow makes you less manly are covering up for their own inadequacies. And #31 is right, rugby's way manlier anyway. But what do I know: I play tennis.

#22: Lacking athleticism doesn't not equate to being a complete nerd. Besides, maybe some women out there prefer guys that don't care about sports. Anyway, to the OP: At least you caught it!

#39, you say your only sport is wrestling, but you play football? You tit. And, just so you know - wrestling isn't a sport, it's a game. For children. The stupid ones.
