Today, my dad said that if I walked home from school, a distance of 8 miles, he would give me $50. Two hours and four massive blisters later, I come home. When I asked for my money, he said "I was kidding." FML

Today, as I was walking home from school with my guy friends, my dad pulled up by the sidewalk, offered me a handful of dollar bills and said, "Get in, baby." Only after we drove away and he started laughing did I realize I'll probably never hear the end of this at school. FML

Today, as I was walking home from work, my dad drove past, pulled over, rolled down the window and asked, "Are you tired of walking?" To which I replied "Yes!" Just as I reached for the car door, he yelled "RUN A WHILE" and sped off. FML

Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. FML

Today, I had to walk three miles home from work. Both my parents were at home. The reason they wouldn't collect me is apparently because I've "gotten so fat, your grandma cried after she saw you". FML

Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

Today, my dad offered to pay me $40 to wash his car. Needing money to buy a video game, I agreed, and went out in the freezing weather to do the job. I finished the task, only to be paid in Monopoly money. My dad still hasn't gotten over how "funny" his prank was. FML

Today, I gave my dad $40 and asked him if he can get me lunch on his way back home. Long story short he came back empty handed telling me it was my fault for trusting him with McNuggets. FML

Today, I went for a run when my shin splints acted up, so I called my dad to have him come pick me up. When I saw his car approaching, I stuck out my thumb like a hitchhiker, as a joke. The car pulled over to give me a ride. It wasn't my dad. FML

Today, I missed my bus. I had to ride my bike 2 miles. Once I left, some jerk nearly hit me. I flipped him off and shouted obsceneties. It was my dad, offering me a ride. He left. FML

Today, I finally summoned the courage to ask my dad to pay me as he promised, after I cut the lawn and cleaned all the house windows last week. His response was, "Get fucked." FML

- It might not have been that the OP wasn't wearing socks, it could just be that they were wearing shoes that weren't up for an eight mile hike. If shoes are extremely worn out, or just not made for walking, they will cause blisters. I know I own a couple of pairs of shoes that are good for short term, limited movement wear but are awful for long term walking. - @KMilliron "Walked four miles up hill in rocks barefoot just to see if I could once." That's a kind of insanity I can't understand. Then again I've seen feet that have been sliced open by sharp rocks, and broken glass that was invisible until it embedded itself in my friends foot. That is all beside the point. What I wanted to ask is why is that fact that your willing/able to do something like that being used as proof the OP should suck it up? You are two different people and your bodies may not be able to handle the same things. - Eight miles really isn't that great of a distance but we also aren't getting the whole story. Are we talking eight miles of flat sidewalk? Eight miles of rocky dirt road? Eight miles of hill and grass? or eight miles down the side of a busy road making sure that you don't get smashed into by some blind driver? These details are important because they give a better idea of what exactly the OP was dealing with.
