Today, at 8:00am, I walked into the kitchen and stubbed my toe. That's quite a normal occurrence, but this time, I stubbed it on my drunk, passed out, 53-year-old father's forehead. He's mad at me now and has cancelled my allowance. I'm 23. FML

23 and you still take allowance?? Maybe that's his way of telling you to find a job and move out?

23 with an allowance? I was 15 when my parents cancelled my allowance by telling me to get a job.

Why are so many assuming that OP lives at home and gets an allowance? OP could be living on their own and their dad was visiting, got drunk and forgot OP isn't a kid anymore

Get a job and get your own place. Problem solved.

At least you weren't wearing any shoes bet you dad would have kicked you out the of house instead of just taking you allowance?

Sorry OP, my finger slipped and I clicked YDI the first time.

I broke my toe this summer stubbing it, careful :)

i dont think he actually gets allowance... i think that was just his drunk dad saying that

@52 "and has cancelled my allowance." It doesn't say anything about a threat to cancel it, it says it actually happened.

@Leogachi um... if the drunk dad yelled 'your allowance is cancelled!' and he didn't have one in the first place it would be a false statement but you wouldn't call it a 'threat' O_o

@91 A threat doesn't mean physical harm. Let's say you have an important document saved on your computer and someone tells you that they're going to delete it because you made them angry. Did they claim they were going to physically harm you? No. Did they threaten you? Absolutely.

@Leogachi... boy you are confused. If the person doesn't have a clear intention of carrying out what they say, then it's a threat. If the person has made their decision and it is going to happen, it's not a threat. If the dad failed to realised OP no longer gets allowance anyway, it makes him a drunk dumbass; it doesn't make it a threat. Not according to the English language, anyway. Think of it this way - you are a customer at a shop, but the insane shop owner thinks you are an employee, yells at you for not doing your job and tells you 'you're fired'. Would it be correct to say he 'threatened' to fire you? No - a threat would be 'I'm going to fire you if you keep this up'. In the insane shopkeeper's mind he actually DID fire you. It was not a threat - physical or otherwise. Nor do you perceive it as one, you just perceive it as a delusional shopkeeper. Kapiche?

YDI for being 23 and still getting an allowance
