Today, when I got home I noticed a statue of a gnome sitting next to the door. I've had an intense phobia of gnomes since I was a child, and I can't bring myself to walk past it. It's been half an hour and I'm still standing outside. I can see my dad through the window laughing and waving. FML

OP here. My key only works on the front lock so I couldn't use any other doors and our windows don't operate to allow anyone in. I had to call my boyfriend to come over and move it for me so I could get in. Recently the spare bedroom I workout in has been overtaken by gnomes and I've opened my bedroom door to a gnome in the hallway. He even put it in the shower. This is not a good way to help me get past my phobia.

Careful. Beyond that door is gno man's land.

Have you tried a window? Or at least a broom to push it aside?

At least he didn't pull this prank while it's raining

If there is, try the back door.

That's pretty dumb kill yourself

If it's severe enough for it to lead to situations like this, I really hope you're now considering seeking treatment. If not, continuing to live like this falls square into YDI territory.

Pathetic. It's a ******* piece of clay. Kick it out of the way. You deserve to be still On the foot. Step. Your dad obviously has a great soh.

And your first thought was to go make an FML about it?

1) Throwing a brick through a window is never a good idea, OP could seriously injure a family member (or pet if they have any) with the brick or the broken glass, not to mention having to pay to replace it. 2)They may not have a back door to use, many people don't. If there's an open window around the side or back, they might be able to get in, but we don't know. 3) A phobia is defined as an intense, irrational fear. Phobias are disorders. A person can't just "grow some balls" get over a phobia, it something that usually requires professional help. OP, I'm so sorry your father thinks it's funny to exploit your phobia. I hope that doesn't happen again, and I hope you're able to find a way to work past your fear in the future.
