Today, my dad asked me when I was going to start looking for a job. Jokingly, I told him next year. He got pissed, started to yell, then realized Tuesday is New Year's Day and grounded me for "being a dumbass." FML

Today, I casually mentioned to my dad that it was the Chinese New Year yesterday. He accused me of insulting his intelligence by "making stupid shit up." I explained that it's real, and that we just use the Gregorian calendar, hence the different dates. He responded by grounding me. FML

Today, my dad came home drunk off his ass. So drunk that he couldn't manage to open the refrigerator, and ended up punching it in a fit of rage. When I tried to calm him down and get him to bed, he told me to fuck off, and grounded me. FML

Today, I tried to blackmail my dad by threatening to tell mom about the bong and weed he keeps hidden in the garage. Turns out she already knew about it and neither of them give a shit. Now I'm grounded until the new year. FML

Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. FML

Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML

Sounds like he's not the smartest. I don't see why you were grounded, but I guess next time try not to piss him off. Good luck finding a new job!

The world of witty people is truly a challenging one, isn't it? Or maybe I'm just a dumbass.

#34, no and probably. If you are witty, you know what subjects are appropriate sources of material and for whom. Witty people are never going to take up the Newtown massacre. Only sick *****. That's an extreme example, though.

Well Eric needs to get a job, and I don't need him making comments like that. If he put half the efforts of his insults into his job he'd be rich. But atleast he's better off than Foreign Kid.

I don't get why everyone is saying his Dad is an idiot, even if he didn't realize New Years is in a couple of days. He had the right to yell at his son about getting a job or not. He must of not had a job this 2012 year either. So what's the surprise if he won't find a job in 2013. Is "next year" answers going to get him a job?
