Today, I had an all day volleyball tournament in a town an hour away. My dad left early, not realizing he was my ride home. I'm now stranded in the middle of a rural town with no way home anytime soon. FML

This is true. I have 3 maybe 4?posted (anonymously) it's fun to get them posted but never fun having strangers tell you you're a ******* idiot and deserve it! This is probably why so many OP's stay silent.

Obviously someone isn't going to leave her there when the tournaments over. OP is just trying to get people to feel sorry for her.

"I'm now stranded" seems to me like she was left.

options: - ride with a friend - ride with the coach - use your phone to call your dad instead of posting on FML - use someone else's phone - cab or bus - start walking - start hooking

My rugby team doesn't take a bus to away games. We all just drive to the location ourselves.

Might be a non school travel team. My sister is in a volleyball travel team and my dad has to drive her almost every weekend to a place hours away for tournaments.

I'm sorry OP,your father is an incompetent moron! Call him and tell him to go back and get you or you'll turn him into child protective services. How the hell does a parent forget their child?!?! I wish becoming a parent required a license just like driving does. You failed your parental test, you're not allowed to procreate!!

Seriously? He didn't forget about his child, he just forgot that his child needed a ride home. Most likely having to drive OP home isn't an every time thing, as many sports teams ride a bus to away games, and it just slipped his mind. Besides, if OP bothered to take the time to post an FML about it, it probably wasn't a dangerous situation. Save the procreation limitation for those who have fifteen kids they can't afford and haven't discovered the cause of it yet.

Did you not read the part where the father thought the OP had another ride home? He didn't know he was the ride back, which isn't so surprising really. Alot of the times friends hang out together after playing a game, especially if they win, they'll go to celebrate. It does suck that the OP was left, but it's not the end of the world, they're not that far away. I know an hour drive can be quite the walk if you have no other choice, but it could be alot worse. I think you're REALLY over reacting about how bad the father is for making a mistake. Calling child services is completely out of line as well...just because the dad made a mistake about not being the ride, doesn't mean he's a horrible dad in any way.

Interesting. A mistake is buying your child the wrong color of shirt. Parental fail is leaving your child in another city. Y'all are entitled to you're own opinions, as am I. As for me "REALLY over reacting" I have children from the ages of 9 to 27, and two grandchildren. Not once have I ever left one of my kids behind anywhere! It's the parents responsibility to verify their child has a ride home from a sporting event BEFORE leaving. That's what a good parent would do; make sure, beyond doubt that their child has transportation arranged before leaving. in this day and age where children are kidnapped, raped, molested and murdered no parent can EVER assume anything and just leave their child behind.Period.

109... I feel really sorry for your children if you think it's Ok to forget and leave your kids in another city with no way home.

Refer to OP's reply to the first comment. She told her dad she was riding with a friend and then changed her mind expecting him to still be there after everyone else had gone home. Enough with the righteous anger.

pink raindrops .. I feel your pain I hate when people make idiotic comments because they can't be bothered to read what's already been posted.

If you can post this on FML, you obviously have access to a computer. Skype to your home phone. Or send an email to your dad's cell phone; he'll receive it as a text. Or flat-out email him if he's likely to be at the computer. If you're not posting this from a computer, but in fact from a phone, then you are an idiot. Since I don't see a "Posted from iPhone app" note, though, I'm assuming the less likely case that you somehow have a computer with you.

When I post it doesn't say anything about an iPhone app. But that's what I have.

FMLs don't have to be posted right as they happen you know. Obviously, the OP isn't still there. It's just the way they wrote it.

Maybe I'm just too optimistic, but I see this as a chance to see a new place and buy some cool stuff if you have money. You have at least an hour while your dad comes back. This is only an FML if you don't have much of an imagination.

Call him or ask one of your teammates for a ride. Unless...you're that annoying, abhorrent bitch everyone seems to hate on the team. If that's the case, you better pray your dad returns.
