Heart of Glass

By blahblahblah - 15/04/2020 20:00

Today, I was sitting on a stool by the stove while my dad was making stir-fry. The glass lid he had covering the skillet overheated and exploded. As huge shards of broken glass rained down on his only daughter's head, my dad's only concern was whether or not he would have to throw his food away. FML

Today, I was refilling my lighter. Afterwards, I gave it a test light. I must've spilled some fluid because my thumb caught on fire. FML

Today, my dad used the stove to boil water. Unfortunately, he turned the wrong burner on, setting the smoke alarm off. What's worse was the smell of burning plastic that came from the coffeemaker being melted down. It's been over an hour, and my eyes still burn like hell when I walk into the kitchen. FML

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, my family and I were burning our Christmas tree. For a laugh, my dad jokingly pushed me toward the fire. I tripped, and my doctor says the burns are probably going to scar. FML

Leg on fire?

If he was wearing pants and his leg only caught on fire then that's pretty impressive. Unless his dad wore shorts to a candlelight dinner.

She/he could have been eating with the entire family.

It's Ho Chi Minh, so probably no electricity. ...except Op is on the internet, somehow.

Actually, It's really popular to use go to a computer cafe there. I have cousin who lives there and she goes to those to play games. So actually Op might not be lying

It could have been one of those adorable father/daughter things.

He or she could have been out with the whole family, with the SO and parents, or even just dinner where there happened to be candles at the restaurant. This is not weird at all imo...especially when I was a kid/teen, my parents, brother and I went out to dinner all the time.

Who said it was romantic and who said OP was alone with his/her father?

#11 I have a feeling it was something religious when they light candles for some purpose .. I don't know...?

Maybe power went out after food was cooked, or trying to save on energy bill ?

Candlelight dinner with your father?! Well I hope he's okay, anyway.

Today, while in my room on the computer, I had a sudden urge to pee. I got up to use the loo and started hearing some disturbing noises from inside. Apparently I was so quiet my parents thought I was gone and decided to have sex in the shower. It's been an hour and my bladder is about to burst. FML

Today, I was on a third date with a girl. Things had been going really well. At one point, the conversation lulled. After a moment of silence, she asked me what my greatest fantasy was. I told her that it was being a superhero. She told me that she meant sexual fantasy. I'm 25. FML

Today, I checked for the third time this week if my package that 'arrived' five days ago had been found. Not only was it a different employee at the concierge desk, meaning I had to explain everything again, but they told me the same bullshit about how it's "not their fault". The package is my new phone. FML
