Today, I scored two prime baseball tickets from a supplier at work. I phoned my dad to tell him the good news. He said that's great, my brother and him would love to see the game. I said, no, I'm taking you to the game. He told me I was being selfish and hung up the phone. FML

Today, I was pouring my heart out to my dad about how I'm such a loser and how I have no friends. He listened sympathetically, until his phone buzzed with a text message. He said, "Balls, the guys from work wanna get shitfaced!" and took a rain check on me. FML

Today, I found out I have to give my father-in-law back the football tickets he gave me for my birthday. Why? His girlfriend decided she wanted to go. He didn't get me a different gift. FML

Today, I bought my boyfriend two concert tickets (of our favorite band) for his birthday. I was expecting him to bring me since I gave them to him and I like the band too. He said, "Sweet, thanks, I'll call my friend now and see if he wants to go. Think you could give us a ride?" FML

Today, I invited a friend that I hadn't seen a few years to a baseball game because I knew they're big baseball fans. They ended up trauma dumping on me for two hours.. FML

Today, I was telling my co-workers about how I'd gotten tickets to a concert in a few days. My boss overheard. Later, he told me I now have to work on the night of the concert. However, he was kind enough to offer to buy the tickets off me for half of what I'd paid for them. FML

Today, I bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML

Today, my dad and mom and I were going out to eat dinner. My dad wanted a romantic dinner just with my mom so he told me to make an excuse not to go. I did, which ended up as a huge fight, grounded and phone taken away. My dad just stood there in the background putting thumbs up. FML

Today, I went to an amateur baseball game with some family and friends. When our team hit a home run, my grandpa took it upon himself to start screaming wildly, removing his prosthetic leg and waving it jubilantly in the air. FML

Baller move

Today, I was at a baseball game. This kid in front of me had binoculars and was constantly shouting. Trying to amuse the girl next to me, I leaned over and said, "That kid probably has wet dreams about baseball." She got up and said to the kid, "Come on honey, we're leaving." FML

My Mum recently got a call from her sister about 2 free Bob Dylan tickets. She had the same reaction in thinking that her sister was giving them both away. But when she found out that wasn't what my Aunt was meaning, she went with her happily and they had a great time. That's what your Dad would have done if he was normal. I'm sorry mate, but he clearly isn't!

Take your brother to the game instead of him. I'm guessing you're not into baseball like your dad and brother. Probably what they're used to.

God, what the hell is wrong with people's parents? What a dick. Go find a hot girl and take her instead or do what #76 says with your brother or a girl. Revenge is best!

thats pretty selfish of your dad, and I'm not trying to justify it, but maybe he thought you had three tickets and thought you were selfish for not wanting to take your brother as well, or maybe he thought you could get more, had you told him how many you had?

Your dad was a jerk in this instance. I mean, he may not be a jerk overall, but in this particular situation... damn. It's already bad enough he assumed you would be giving him both your tickets to take whomever he wanted with him... but then to call YOU selfish when he found out you planned to take him... that's just sad. People who are saying you deserved it or you were selfish in this instance seem like they just enjoy playing devil's advocate. They have to find some fault somewhere.
