Today, after 3 long hours of mowing the lawn with a rusty lawn mower, my dad finally decided to tell me that he didn't get any money out to pay me with. The reason? He didn't think girls could mow a lawn and was expecting me to give up. FML
I agree, your life sucks 53 325

This isn't your average chore, I do those for free. No allowance, just a hourly rate for the hardcore jobs.

Wow..your dad is a sexist asshole!

When I was I kid I had to cut the lawn with a knife, feed all the farm animals, and clean the toilet, sinks, and dishes with my toothbrush. And I expected no payment, just bread and water.

Haha typical British middleaged man. Its amusing but wrong

wtf, you were mowing YOUR OWN lawn for money from your dad? Well, you got what you deserved.

Maybe the OP was going to do it anyways but her dad offered her money. If you get offered something, you don't usually expect them to go back on their word.

Tell him if he cooks you a five course meal you'll give him $100. After you've eaten tell him you don't have the cash because you didn't think a man could cook. x]
