Today, I received my passport in the mail. They got my birthdate wrong. Then I picked up my birth certificate that I had sent in with the application. Turns out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years. FML
I agree, your life sucks (419204) - you totally deserved it (25292)

Wow, that definitely does suck. At least they pay attention though. I would call them out on it, definitely.

Why does this suck enough to be the all time top FML? How is it in any way a big deal? If I found out I was celebrating the wrong day for the last 17 years, I'd just say "oh, that's funny," and move on with my life. It's not that bad.

NO WAY.
YDI for not having your birthday on the day that your parents have been celebrating it on.

why the fuck is this the top fml?
so they've been celebrating it on the wrong day.. maybe something bad happened that day and they don't want to celebrate your birthday that day.
its not like they never celebrated your birthday, it was just a different day.
i have literally no idea why this is so bad.

This FML seems fake. You need a birth certificate to enroll in school. wouldn't your parents have found out then?

Looks like you'll b getting a hell of a sweet 16 party. Like another bar...i mean bat (....unless the OP secretly is a transexual with a chood, in that case YDI cause you cant have sex with yourself) mitzvah. And if your parents dont... beat their ass. At least now all your friends will always think you look older than u really are. which means no complements on how "young" you look.
#618 - On 07/04/2009 at 11:35pm by MasterModeraor
i'm replying to the first comment so my comment will be at the top.
#635 - On 07/14/2009 at 4:14pm by Hammertym3
yeah im calling BS on this one. you need birth certificates for almost everything. daycare enrollment, school enrollment, and surely this cant be the first time you get a passport, right? and how could a parent (especially the mother) not remember the day she had her baby on? i mean thats a HUGE deal....
#645 - On 07/19/2009 at 9:46pm by f_myusername
this is fake.
see theres quite a few by this person Noname.
surely they cant all be true.
in this one Noname is 16.
But in another one of hers she has a thirteen year old daughter.
Child when she was three ? must have been the words youngest parent.
Hey, Kurmen. I just submitted an FML under the name "Noname." No "username unavailable" errors or anything. Log out and try it yourself.

spend £5 on gala bingo,
refer 2 friends to do the same,
and get sent an ipod shuffle.
this is 100% genuine as they recover the cost
from gala for sending them customers!
I wonder if the OP was born on a day that's considered bad luck in some cultures? Maybe that's why her parents had her celebrate on a different day.
#701 - On 09/08/2009 at 12:23am by Darling_Cherry
Omg that's horrible did you turn ou to be older than what you thought???
#707 - On 09/16/2009 at 5:53pm by Icantfindmymommy
This is a pretty terrible excuse for top FML...More than likely fake to begin with, nobody is actually that fucking stupid to not know the day their kid was born...And to never look at it once in 16 years?? Not likely, fucking fail FML
Totally free 5th generation iPod nano :3
If you want one too go here register and refer, it's simple and free.. no strings attached and no shitty emails with lies and what not.. 100% real ppl.
http://vk.com/reg53638659
Ok I have a very important question... Is Noname a guy or girl? Also how old are there!? Because they have this quote issued under a woman and then she's got another quote under as a guy who said their girlfriend dumped them because she wanted someone more like their Edward (Twilight Edward) Idk look up the quote it's issued under a man then she says here she's only like what 16? She's got another one issued as a mom with a daughter. The quote goes something like this, "Today, my daughter asked me when I first had sex, I told her 22 and she replying "haha beat ya!" She's 13..." So ya Some of these are fake... But which ones? :0 Btw don't get all pissy at me, don't start whining I'm just stating some facts so ya... Idk you tell me.
Imagine if they hadn't been celebrating your birthday at all! Maybe they left you at the hospital after you were born, and the day they went back and got you after changing their minds was when they celebrated your birthday.

thats you're own dumbass fault too, how did you register for school and everything else like that without you're proper birth certificate moron, plus YOU sent a copy without even reading it? you're a moron
#3 - On 02/09/2009 at 10:55pm by wholefaze
why would they read their own certificate? nobody would assuming they know their own fucking birthday
your a fucktard. congrats
#574 - On 06/16/2009 at 10:50pm by sexwithamonkey
what's wrong with you #3?! why would anyone expect their birthday to be wrong after sixteen years? you moron...
#584 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:50am by _miss_anonymous_
Maybe there's a reason. Perhaps they changed it to be after they were married, or something like that.
#7 - On 02/09/2009 at 11:03pm by procrat
#3 before you call someone dumb, it would be wise to learn the difference between "you're" and "your".
As for the birthday mix-up, it isn't your fault. Not many people check their birth certificates and I know a guy who doesn't even know his exact birth date because he was an abandoned child. At least now you know.
dude, that sucks
no worries, up until i was 13 years old, my parents said my bday was on june 13th
then one day, i found my birth certificate and it said june 11th on it, so i showed my dad, and he was silent and said, "bring me your passport." a full minute later of just staring, he goes, "oh well, ok ur birthday is the 11th."
and we still dont celebrate it =/ we never did. so be happy ur family celebrated your fake bday!
#10 - On 02/09/2009 at 11:17pm by GhettoWangstuh
My dad has to ask me every time we fill out online documentation, such as the FAFSA. People are busy these days, many details, even ones we would consider important, slip through the cracks.
#11 - On 02/09/2009 at 11:46pm by village_idiot
at least it was just your birthday. i found out my mom just made up a guy's name to put as my father; she has no idea who it really was.
I had a friend in high school whose parents got her birthday wrong, too. I think they were off by about a week.
#13 - On 02/10/2009 at 2:01am by JE
My mom calls me on the day before my birthday every year. I used to get really upset and we would have arguments that would escalate into fights because she swears she's right. All my documents and my sister's, who were around when I was born say she's not. A few year's ago I finally just gave up and graciously receive the birthday wishes a day early. Deep down I still hope she'll call on the right day one year.
#15 - On 02/10/2009 at 2:49am by TB
Maybe - if they celebrate it one day earlier - you were born round midnight or later so on the next day, but they remember the date when your mom's had to go to the hospital to deliver you! It's like when you're at a party and you still call "yesterday" "today" cause it's past midnight but you didn't go to bed so for you it's still the same day.
#16 - On 02/10/2009 at 3:57am by Somebody
Well my mom's birth certificate shows a different date than her actual b-day because there had been problems with the office (that's responsible with birth certificates etc) when she was born. Maybe there was a similar problem with your case?
Man, at least you're celebrating your birthday. It could be worse, eh.
#19 - On 02/10/2009 at 10:10am by arms_akimbo
lol 16 years later you find out the documents were wrong... I assume they are, your parents wouldn't be mistaken?
#20 - On 02/10/2009 at 12:28pm by Aquamarine
Like another person said, my dad has to ask me every time he fills out any information for me. He forgot my birthday a couple of times and is always asking my how to spell simple words, like in the name of the school I go to. Most people call it by an acronym, so for the longest time he didn't know what the last letter stood for (I use the first two words when I refer to it).
#23 - On 02/10/2009 at 5:22pm by gina
How can your mother forget the day you came out of her va-jay-jay?
#24 - On 02/10/2009 at 7:10pm by redonkulon
Same thing happened to me. Off by two days - I found out when I moved schools at age ten. The principal called me down to the office and asked about the discrepancy between the forms and my birth certificate. I said, I guess I don't know when my birthday is. . .
#26 - On 02/11/2009 at 12:54am by anon
My mother can't remember my brothers' birthdays. I always have to tell her what day they're on. If I couldn't remember, they'd celebrate their birthdays on a different day every year.
#27 - On 02/11/2009 at 11:40am by Andy
Some families celebrate birthday a day earlier to "give farewells" to the year of life that has just passed.
#28 - On 02/11/2009 at 1:07pm by blah
I was filling out paperwork for my wife's passport and got her birth year wrong. The mistake made her 3 years older. We noticed the mistake after we picked up the passport and it was too late to complain because we had to go out of the country the next day.
#29 - On 02/11/2009 at 9:16pm by mindgutter
That's not that bad. My friend has been celebrating his birthday on the wrong day for 20 years when his mother finally told him it was really two days earlier. Apparently the paperwork had gone in a couple days late. He still celebrates his delayed birthdate.
#30 - On 02/12/2009 at 2:26pm by Mike
Hahaha. my friend "Crystalyn", who is 14, just found out her name is actually spelled "Crystalynn"
#32 - On 02/12/2009 at 6:50pm by tomtom
#2 -- you're a dick.
I'm so sorry about this situation. :/ How far off were your parents from the actual date?
#33 - On 02/13/2009 at 12:00am by Helena
Well maybe something special happened (besides your birth) on the other day they were celebrating and they decided they liked it better. Maybe it was their favorite number? Is there a plausible excuse? Lol.
#35 - On 02/14/2009 at 6:08am by maiden_girl
That is incredible. How can a mother not know when your real birthday is?! That day should be something that's etched into a mothers brain forever.
#36 - On 02/14/2009 at 6:25pm by Jikaboom
I don't see what the big deal is. Sure, it sounds kind of messed up, but at least the birthday was celebrated, and your parents clearly care about you even if they got the date wrong. They couldn't have been off by that much? Surely it was in the realm of your birthday? Besides, you yourself had never checked your exact birth date in sixteen years, why should your parents have done so?
#37 - On 02/15/2009 at 2:57am by Artzy
congratz, ur life sucks most of all ppl here.. xD
but.. thats rlly weird though, didnt they go check when u were born or so? :P
It happens, but it still sucks. When my sister's friend was trying to get her license, she had to go get a copy of her birth certificate from another city because her parents had lost it years before. She found out that she was actually a year younger then she thought she was. It was bad. Her dad also raped her little sister too.... really awful parents.
who cares if you've been celebrating your bday at some other time than your actual birthdate. it's the thought that matters, not the day. oh boo-hoo, maybe some folks should unpack their balls from their purses, or grow a pair.
#43 - On 02/17/2009 at 4:19pm by yipper
my mom insisted my birthday was on the 21st for years, i had to reorder my birth certificate to prove to her that it was actually on the 20th!
#44 - On 02/17/2009 at 5:55pm by d-loc
my parents put the wrong birthdate in my baby book... they also signed me up for preschool with the wrong birthdate. thanks mom and dad.
#45 - On 02/17/2009 at 7:14pm by chicken1
my mother's legal birthday is somehow different from her real birthday. she knows. we know. she insists we celebrate both.
That sort of happened to my dad. His official birth certificate says his bday is June 27th when it's actually June 23rd. However, my dad was born in India in the late 50's...
#47 - On 02/18/2009 at 10:28am by Q
I feel your pain to an extent....I was adopted and my parents had my wrong birthday until i was 7 and met my real parents....not to mention my real mom still thinks im older than i really am... i have my birth cert now she thinks im 26 im 23.......ahhh got to love drugs.....
#48 - On 02/18/2009 at 11:28am by Chucky_206
Sooo.. Are you going to celebrate your actual birthday or stick to the birthdate your parents have been going by for so long?
#49 - On 02/18/2009 at 5:29pm by Lisa
Maybe you were born late at night so they didn't actually get the birth certificate processed until the next day. The same thing happened to me, my birth certificate is dated the 11th, but I was born the 10th
#51 - On 02/19/2009 at 4:23pm by Ste
That's suuuuper lame. I would never have thought this had (allegedly) happened to so many people.
My ruling? I think you should get TWO birthdays a year for each year your parents were wrong.
Next case.
#52 - On 02/19/2009 at 5:52pm by WhySoSassy?
well, my mother has to ask me a couple times a year how old I am.
i'm 20.
#54 - On 02/20/2009 at 1:26am by eclg
How are you 16 and never seen your birth certificate?
I agree this really sucks but haven't you ever needed it to enroll in school, apply for a job, apply for a learner's permit for driving, etc?
#55 - On 02/20/2009 at 4:46am by anon
The same thing happened to a friend of mine. Turns out she was adopted and the "birthday" she had been celebrating was actually the day her parents brought her home from the hospital. A few days AFTER the real birthday printed on her birth certificate.
#56 - On 02/20/2009 at 2:56pm by Onath
Maybe your not really their kid, and the police brought you home.. could be worse
#57 - On 02/20/2009 at 6:01pm by steed
Birth certificates have mistakes on them all the time. I was born 2:49 AM but my certificate says 2:49 PM. I know it's wrong because my mom said it was a 6-hour labor that she went into while my parents were at a movie the previous evening.
#58 - On 02/20/2009 at 8:46pm by Gemini
What's the big deal?
This whole idea that birthdays are important at all is just something that's come about this century. And in the grand scheme of things it's a pretty arbitrary date which we don't remember and have no control over anyway. You got a party every year, shouldn't that be enough?
#60 - On 02/21/2009 at 1:38am by lavie
omg wow
hopefuLLy theyy fixed that
i wud bee super mad if that happpened to me !

its okay, my cousin still thinks his bday is on marh, when everyone else knows that was a fake and its really in january,... hes now 24 LOL.

My grandparents marriage certificate says that they got married 9 months to the day before my Dad was born. Didn't waste any time...
#64 - On 02/22/2009 at 5:59pm by poddys
My Mom always gets My Brother's Birthday wrong, cause she went into labor on the 16th and that was the last newpaper she saw.... he was born on the 18th
Hmm... Is it possible that your parents could be in hiding?
BTW, is your name Adam Farmer?
#66 - On 02/22/2009 at 11:58pm by Jesus
My dad doesn't know how to spell my name....
Every year I get a card that says "Gail" instead of "Gale"......
I'm 19.
Were you born in the sticks? My grandparents had my mom in their village, didn't get a birth cert until 19 days later. Since the Communist government decided that that day was her DOB, all her documents are 19 days off of her true Bday.
#68 - On 02/23/2009 at 6:52am by HeartlessBastard
my parents always think that my birthday is on the 19th because my older brother is on feb. 19th but i am on jan 18th and i always have to remind them when it is.
#71 - On 02/24/2009 at 3:27am by sortaSameBoat
Birth certificates are wrong all the time. Did you check this with your parents?
My name was supposed to be Kelli-Ann, as one name, and then my last name. No middle name. But they messed up so now I am Kelli and Ann is my middle name. Oh well.
Yeah, my name was supposed to be Elianna, but the nurse misspelled it and now my name is Elliana.
Also, my brother's middle name just got dropped off when they filled out his birth certificate.
#74 - On 02/24/2009 at 10:19pm by Elleh
haha #71 - i am just the opposite. my dad - for the longest time - thought my birthday was on the 18th.. we never celebrate it on the day, just on the weekend closest to it due to a hectic work life and what not. before, he used to think my birthday was on the 1st instead of the 19th - the first was my sisters. he didnt even know my birth year... just shows how busy people are these days
#75 - On 02/25/2009 at 12:35am by hotshot
@ #6, I think his real birthday is on his certificate, it's just the parents might have forgotten, looked at the certificate, and read it wrong.
#76 - On 02/25/2009 at 4:23am by TT01Fanatic
My mom works as a secretary at an elementary school and there are kids there that don't know their own birthdays because their parents don't want to celebrate it. She said sometimes it's a religious thing, but there are a few that just don't care because they're trashy. So really, my mom and their parents are the only ones that know their birthdays!
#78 - On 02/25/2009 at 10:37am by mill6389
Thats ok dude, i grew up with my grandparents. they didn't tell me when my birthday was until i was 13. I never had a birthday party. ever in my life.
It's okay, my parents still sometimes say I'm ten. I'm fifteen and taller than either of them.
#80 - On 02/25/2009 at 11:25pm by bigbrother1984
WTF??!
I'm going to take a look at my birth certificate... :D
#83 - On 02/26/2009 at 4:59pm by daytime_lantern
I think this is a very possible situation. I know that my mother gave me the middle name of "Renea", however, on my birth certificate it reads "Renae", and my school files it is "Renee". It really is a hassle to deal with, so I can imagine what a wrong birthday could be like.
#84 - On 02/26/2009 at 6:10pm by cutewittlefox
That is some way finding out that for years you have been celebrating the wrong day. At least you found out, so now it can be right on your tombstone. That is looking on the brightside!
#88 - On 02/27/2009 at 2:31am by Alley
I was adopted by relatives who were Fundamentalist Christians. They didn't even celebrate my birthday. Or Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, or any other day. My happiest times growing up were going AWAY to summer camp for a week. Then when I was 15, I was out on the street. FML
#89 - On 02/27/2009 at 2:48am by klye
When my mom got her birth certificate (which she ordered to get a passport) she discovered she's been spelling her name wrong for the past 40 odd years. She's Cliela but Clela on her birth certif.
#91 - On 02/27/2009 at 9:53am by Gigwave
Wrong birthday is better than wrong sex on the passport. When i was young and got my passport done, they wrote my sex to be male, maybe because I had short hair in the picture. lol.
#92 - On 02/27/2009 at 1:03pm by realsimple02
this had to have happened in some random redneck small town in tenessee or somewhere like that lmaooo
#95 - On 02/28/2009 at 1:34pm by dude
My aunt texted me 'Happy Birthday! I love you!' A month later.
It took a lot of convincing that I was not born in September.
Let's hope your parents don't need so much convincing.
#99 - On 03/03/2009 at 11:19am by stillwishing
you should ask them about it, because sometimes the birth certificate comes after the date of birth. And sometimes the birth certificate says another date of birth -- my friend's birth certificate says he's a year older than he is ?
#103 - On 03/03/2009 at 6:26pm by findKhristine
i would like to say that it is more likely that paperwork is wrong because parents care that kind of stuff. however, it kills the point of your entry. so for this site's sake, FYL
#105 - On 03/04/2009 at 3:09am by hicrihicri
Aw, that sucks.
My mum named me Cooper-Alyssa Jayne but on my birth certificate is says Copper Alyssa, so thanks to someone's screw up, and her laziness to change it, I'm named after a chemical element, yay.
It's also says I have a different father to my brother which isn't true, we are in fact full brother and sister and unfortunately have the same douche bag father.
But like a lot of people have said it's probably not your parents fault.
#106 - On 03/04/2009 at 5:37am by NoPsych
bahahahhahah. same thing happened with my aunt only with her, they had the wrong name on her birth certificate.
#107 - On 03/04/2009 at 8:00am by tigerbabyy09

i'd use that for the rest of my life.

That is really funny, sucks too, but is funny. My Gramps had his Birth certificate screwed up by the government, he was was born 2 years before he was...aaaaaaa.....born... lol O-o
maybe it was more convinient to have ur b-day on a differnt date
#116 - On 03/06/2009 at 7:16pm by Heatstreak
for everyone who asked how far off his parents were, does anyone ever even come back and respond to the comments made on their FML?
Wait like how close were they to ur real b-day...they might have like had u at midnight...or u were adopted who knows!
#120 - On 03/07/2009 at 9:49am by popcorn_chicken
My dad's almost 47 and his parents have no idea what day his birthday really is. They just celebrate it on Nov. 22.
#122 - On 03/07/2009 at 7:27pm by whoacowboyyy
At least they celebrate your birthday.
"Dad, it's my BIRTHDAY"
"You don't have a birthday son. Go clean the garage."
"Oh, okay."
Lol wow I would have been super mad.
Makes me want to go check my birth certificate.
#124 - On 03/08/2009 at 10:12am by Mistress_Puppy
(o.O) it seems like after 16 years you wouldn't want to change the day you celebrate your birthday. it would feel weird
#126 - On 03/09/2009 at 10:47pm by never_accepted
Hey, now you can make your parents celebrate your "birthday" and the actual day you were born to make up for their lack of brains.
Happy birthday! :)
get over it, you don't exactly deserve it. But it's not a FML either.
#128 - On 03/10/2009 at 9:00am by Mattyknows
at least you've got an excuse for why your parents don't celebrate your real birthday. i'd rather have good, fake b-days than real, bad ones
#129 - On 03/10/2009 at 10:39am by sucks_for_you
That's not FML so much as LOL.
I've had a similar situation. My mother went into the hospital and was in labor (dialating etc) about 32 hours. She had me around three am the next morning, so that was my birthday.
Sometimes, time differences or labor times alter the date of birth. Also, I agree with, I believe waaaaaay up there, too lazy to hunt it back down, the office could have been having difficulties as well. Your birthday is still important to your family, so kudos! You got that much, now all you can do is just laugh it off. When you celebrate and when it happens doesn't really matter.
Kind of like how if you have a big family, and you celebrate thanksgiving twice or something cuz of two families (Such as if you have two grandparents on both sides (mother and father), Christmas (or Hanuka (Sorry for the horrible spelling) or Kwanza). It's not really important what day it is, so long as it's recognized.
Still.
LOL dude that's awesomesauce.
#130 - On 03/10/2009 at 5:35pm by AcessDenied
For your parents penance I would demand 16 years worth of birthday gifts on your upcoming B'day.

i read that post. that's your own fault. drunk or not you should have been smart enough to use protection. yeah your life sucks but it's your own fault it does.
Lol. I know my mother's birthday on the birth certificate is in August but her real birthday is is March. I just know that the paperwork was filed late, and they didn't want to be fined for that, so they just said, yeah my mom was just born. She always knew though, so it wasn't really a FML for her. :D
that sucks!!!!! my parents told me I was turning five two years in a row because they didnt think i was reading for first grade.

Wow, dude that sucks big time. First time I applied for a job my social didn't match my name. Turns out I really had no identity at all....I got a new number and everything.
Dude, i'm sorry, but if I were you I would totally kill myself, just kidding, please don't take the litteral. I don't want to get charged with homocide.
#148 - On 03/15/2009 at 7:50am by lil_wally95
#3 has a valid point. you are a little bit stupid.
and to #140 - wtf, don't blame her. you're the one who made the choice to go in raw.
my mother has been getting my sister's birthday wrong for 22 years. they still get into arguments every year.
by the way.. your FML is used as an example on the Fmylife.com Wikipedia page.
#150 - On 03/15/2009 at 12:42pm by helloooitsmeee
#55- why the hell would she need her birth certificate to apply for a job? That is what a social security card is for, at least in America. Your parents take care of the birth certificate when you enroll in elementary school, so you wouldn't really have a need to see your birth certificate until you are getting your driver's license. Even then, I doubt if everyone reads their birth certificate when they pull it out. You just assume there is nothing new for you to learn from reading it. It makes sense that you would not notice a discrepancy on your birth certificate until you notice it on your passport-a passport is new documentation that you would read over to make sure everything is correct.
#151 - On 03/15/2009 at 4:41pm by in7HI5di4ry
To all those calling the OP ungrateful: sure, it is fantastic that the parents at least celebrated a birthday every year. But it is sad to think that your parents forgot the day you were born on--a day that is supposed to be one of the most memorable days of their lives.
#152 - On 03/15/2009 at 4:43pm by in7HI5di4ry
yea i guess thats a bummer but doesnt really mean ur life is really F$%*d'up. my parents named me alex and every legal document says alex EXCEPT my birth certificate... it says ALEXIS ... which is a girls name, and im very much a boy. u neither deserve it , nor is it really f'd up. as for celebrating bdays. my mom forgot my bday when i was about... 14. she doesnt remember anymore nor does she ever mention it.
#157 - On 03/17/2009 at 8:48pm by wutanga13x
i think everyone needs to stop submitting their own FML on comment pages... lol. this is about the op...
that stinks. and to everyone who posted "how could you not see that omg u didn't need to submit it for school or whatever?" my mom didn't give me my birth certificate till i went for my drivers license at 18. every state is different. sometimes the kids aren't allowed to submit paperwork to school.
#160 - On 03/18/2009 at 1:20am by blinkingstarlet
That really sucks, dude. How uncaring could your parents be when they celebrate your birthday on the wrong day for that long? ._.
Same exact thing happened to me when I was 10. Turns out, the birth certificate is signed before the date is printed on it, and somehow the hospital screwed up which day I was born on. We tried to fill out the paperwork to get it officially changed, but when 9/11 happened, they made the paperwork 1000x harder to complete. Now you need to get the doctor who birthed you to sign it.
#167 - On 03/20/2009 at 3:12am by SenatorPenguin
dude your parents must have gotten high off their asses the day they brought you home..lol!!!! I'm sorry though man, def a fml...
#169 - On 03/20/2009 at 9:50am by thekreeperkeeper
Your parents tripped out on LSD while you were being born. For sure, haha. Guess the epidural is nothing compared to LSD. what are you guys cavemen... no calenders?
Maybe the doctors/your parents just really fucked up.
#171 - On 03/20/2009 at 7:11pm by WowLifeDoesSuck
hah, i'd consider this more a fail. and it's pretty pathetic if your father cannot spell your name. i pity you.
#175 - On 03/21/2009 at 7:53pm by ElegyDistance
My grandmother always celebrated her birthday on February 22nd...until her 65th birthday, when she had to get a passport to go on a international trip. It turns out that her ACTUAL birthday is January 23rd...!
yo that suks, but dont worry, ur not alone. up till i was 6 years old, my parents told me i was born in 93. one day, i did the math and it didnt add up, so i went to our safe and looked at my birth certificate. my parents had been telling me i was born in the wrong year for 6 years >_
#181 - On 03/22/2009 at 11:15pm by soulreaper721
wow.. if theyre my parents then i would def disown them.. forget MY birthday.. after pushing u out i would def remember..
#189 - On 03/23/2009 at 11:43pm by Ifeelurpain87
Yeah, I can't say that I'd expect most mothers to be too intent on remembering the day of the birth of their child, a day racked with pain and stress and agony.
Add into the mix that the mother is usually hopped up on epidurals and other meds (when actually going into labor) and may have only a partial idea of what's going on and it's not an event that's easily remembered.
At least you're not like the guy who got his birth certificate eaten by a goat, so he has no idea how old he is.
#192 - On 03/24/2009 at 4:33pm by vox_temperantia
damn, i thought it was bad that we all spelled my name wrong for 16 or so years till it came time to bring my birth certificate to the dmv for a drivers permit.
#193 - On 03/24/2009 at 10:27pm by fighterofthefoo
damn, i thought it was bad that we all spelled my name wrong for 16 or so years till it came time to bring my birth certificate to the dmv for a drivers permit and I take a closer look like w-t-f...FML
#194 - On 03/24/2009 at 10:28pm by fighterofthefoo
Celebrate your parents birthday on the wrong day for the rest of their lives. If they refuse, blackmail them.
Amazing!!! I thought I was the only one whose parents didn't know their birthday!! But when I turned 16 and found out, I confronted my parents, and my mother said, "They must have it wrong. They must've lost your file when the hospital burnt down." --- The hospital is across the street from my apartment.
#198 - On 03/25/2009 at 4:32pm by chucksterrr
I would kill my parents. I mean, how did THEY get the date wrong? They were there & knew what was happening.
Congratulations for having the most fucked up thing on here. If I were you, I'd wait until you're 'next' birthday, and let them throw a party, and in the middle of it ask 'But today's not my birthday? Tomorrow/yesterday is/was', and truly embarrass them.
#203 - On 03/28/2009 at 11:58am by strangersdk
i would make them give me 16 birthday presents for everyone birthday they got wrong
#209 - On 03/28/2009 at 8:35pm by chrisapoo23
Hey, at least your birthday was celebrated. This would be worse if you actually "turned" 21 like months after you actually were. If they've been celebrating it early, I say don't worry about it - you'll be 21 before you actually are, and that would be an epic win.
hahahaha that is so fucking funny. i don't believe it though.
#215 - On 03/30/2009 at 10:39pm by lickmyface
Same exact thing happened to my mom.
You were probably born late at night.
#216 - On 03/30/2009 at 10:59pm by Quinnjamin
My brother and I were adopted from Korea and dropped off by some crazy stork in NW PA (Pa'Tucky) and always felt someone just threw a dart or blindly chose two date for my and my brother's birthday. We are two days and two years apart. Or maybe my parents only procreated in the summer, not sure...
how do people say you deserved that?
the only way i can reconcile this is that there must be people who just scroll through FML and click YDTO on every post
A health card from one hospital says that for me too, so its probably your parents who are right. :)
#221 - On 03/31/2009 at 9:23pm by annoyedrightnow
on the bright side you could say they still at least celebrated. but either way that sucks i'm sorry
#226 - On 04/01/2009 at 4:40pm by dmoneypenny
WOW your parents are really STUPID! They dont even remember when you were born...... thats really something
and #2 haha although it is kinda true
My mom's birthday is different on my birth cert from my brother's... by TWO years. lol.
#230 - On 04/02/2009 at 4:33am by lilacwords
Woow That is seriusly the worst i cant belive it
hope ur not mad at them
#233 - On 04/02/2009 at 12:55pm by SweetSoldier
Ouch! Can you imagine how bad they'll feel if you tell them? On the other hand, it would be better to tell them now than for them to find out in another 10 years!
Could be worse, at least they were celebrating it on the same wrong day for 16 years. So they remembered the wrong one after only messing it up once, not so bad... right?
Right?
ouchhhhh that's ok just celebrate their birthdays on the wrong days for the rest of their lives from now on! that's what i would do ahahahaha
Ooohh!! Boo hoo. They celebrated your wrong birthday. That's not anywhere close to being bad enough for an FML.
#237 - On 04/04/2009 at 7:59am by Boring_Life
That must really suck. Oh well, at least now you know you wasted more days of your life then you thought. Just celebrate it normally from now on, or, celebrate it like you always did. Your birthday is your birthday but when you celebrate it doesn't matter, people celebrate their birthday weeks from their actual birthday because its just conveniant.
Maybe they meant to do it hahaha...you know as a cruel joke
#241 - On 04/05/2009 at 1:32pm by el_Caballo
i don't understand why people could say they deserve that one.
they definitely don't.
#243 - On 04/05/2009 at 8:33pm by brinanurrz
Dude, that sucks..
My mom once told me that I "should trust the ones close to me rather than the government." Doesn't apply here.
Oh my god, that really sucks. Yeah, how off WERE your parents? Were you, like, really mad about that? Wow I feel so bad that's terrible yet hilarious =)
#246 - On 04/06/2009 at 3:55am by chicaloca666
OMG! i so would've been angry with them. Wooooow. i hope you had a strong conversation with them ,
#250 - On 04/07/2009 at 4:08pm by effyouceeekay
omg! that's tragic. i hope you expressed their anger at them. i know i'd be REALLLLLLLLY mad! ask them what they were thinking when they decided to celebrate their birthday on their wrong day. as frustrated as you probably are, there could potentially be a reason behind it.
#251 - On 04/07/2009 at 4:18pm by saminpajamas
I'm sorry! If it helps I'm 19 and my dad still asks, "Now, which day is your birthday?" Usually he's off by five days. And he always thinks my sisters is April 14,tax day. Her birthday is on the 21st.
Oh shiit
that sucks but at least they still celebrated your birthday
#254 - On 04/09/2009 at 1:17am by Fruitcakee
I AGREE WITH NUMBER 257
that would be so cool :D :D :D you've got to admit
that if you would be able to switch families now
IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!
#258 - On 04/09/2009 at 11:06pm by thaliaMox3
That's not possible - you have to register for schools with your birth certificate....good try though
#260 - On 04/10/2009 at 3:46am by thisitemademecry
Lol my grandma couldn't marry until she changed her birth certificate. Someone accidentally wrote "male" on it, so they said they couldn't marry two guys..
#261 - On 04/10/2009 at 6:02am by mylittlecrow
#260 - they could have turned in the birth certificate without looking at it closely
#267 - On 04/12/2009 at 7:29am by abcdefg11233
You're not really that "effed". They still celebrated a birthday. Anyway, the passport date, I'm pretty sure comes from your birth certificate. In a lot of places, they actually get the date on the birth certificate wrong, for various reasons. Either that, or your birth certificate is a fake. If you're an immigrant, there's actually a good chance of that. (No offense to anyone.) I would ask your parents about it. If the birth certificate is right, now you just get two birthdays! At least, that's they way I would play the situation.
#268 - On 04/12/2009 at 2:17pm by curryndricegirll
FYL.
definitely undeserved, you say your 16, I didn't get my first formal identification that requires a birth certificate until I was 16, and it's not like I ever scrutinized my birth certificate either, so until I saw it verbatum on my driver's license, I guess I didn't really know that my birthday was correct either!
so yup, FYL.
#269 - On 04/12/2009 at 5:34pm by fkateslife
Ugh, you FAIL. How did you get registered into school with the wrong birth date? Oh wait...you probably didn't go to school seeing you don't know your birthday.
i actually knew someone thats birth certificate was wrong when they went back and checked hospital records and everything.
wtf kind of parents celebrate your bday on the wrong day of the year
are they sick?
what us wrong with them?
this truly sucks
im sorry
#283 - On 04/15/2009 at 4:05pm by shakerchic804
I would've started celebrating my birthday on the certificate date and when someone said something like my parents, I would say, "I thought you knew it was my birthday, my certificate has your signature."
#288 - On 04/15/2009 at 10:29pm by summerruby86
That sucks. And seriously, I don't get why people say you deserve it. Some of you people are douchebags.
I was born on easter and so every easter my uncle wishes me happy birthday, even though easter is on a different day every year.
#293 - On 04/17/2009 at 10:12pm by Bunches419
To #3.... do you go around reading your birth certificate? Cause i do not know anyone who does.
#296 - On 04/19/2009 at 2:16am by kidNflorida
Umm, I guess this makes you think, "Were my parents stoned or drunk while I was being conceived", Maybe you should check that out! FYL
heh, thats pretty unfortunate... at least you didn't suffer any physical harm like some people on this site. Also just wanted to point out that a significant portion of the top fmls happened in February, which, i'm guessing, makes it the worst month of the year...or something
i don't understand how this is so horrific. i mean, yes, it's completely retarded and totally sucks, but how the hell did it get 200,000 confirmations and 8,600 YDIs? Come on, #1 FML, seriously? The guy whose dick got grabbed by his teacher (#2) tooootally trumps this.
#302 - On 04/20/2009 at 6:02am by bandgeekforlife
at least you have parents who want to celebrate your birthday. think about the people born on the awkward day in a leap year. they hardly ever get to celebrate their birthday on the 'right' day
so im in the library trying to write a paper and of course im procrastinating, you'd be proud. i wanted to check if you were still the top FML, and you are, so im procrastinating more. im listening to manu chao.
#305 - On 04/20/2009 at 9:15pm by procrastination_
My friend is 13 and just figured out her parents have been spelling her name wrong her whole life so the name on her birth certificate is different from how she normally spells it
#306 - On 04/20/2009 at 9:33pm by bethechange
this happened to my cousin! his direct quote was "MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE"
#307 - On 04/21/2009 at 6:51am by worst_bday
i would be so pissed if that happened to me. i wouldnt talk to my parents for months! and question... are your parents mentally retarded or something?
OMG that sucks! Your parents sound like jack asses. Wow, that must be so confusing now! Are you gonna celebrate ur b-day on ur REAL b-day or on the FAKE b-day ur used to?
#309 - On 04/21/2009 at 7:05pm by DanielleMazz
Just look at it this way.... You can now celebrate your birthday twice every year
#310 - On 04/22/2009 at 1:56am by had_a_bad_day
aww, man, that totally sucks..... but i admit... i laughed a tiny bit.... but hey, your mom was in labor and your dad was probably freaking out.... how are they suppose to take a moment to realize what day is is???
Look on the brightside now you have excuse to not get your parents a birthday present. For the next 16 years. Technically you can say you have gotten a birthday present.
#315 i agree
two birthdays would rock
and to the OP FYL
#318 - On 04/23/2009 at 1:30pm by fredwillkill
shouldnt you have seen it on your birth certificate since your 16 (you need a birth certificate to get a learners permit)
#319 - On 04/23/2009 at 5:47pm by ryanmac2764
That's virtually impossible! There's no way that any of you (you or your parents) could have gotten away with registering you for a passport, school, job, whatever, without showing a birth certificate at least a few times. Then you'd have to write your birth date somewhere and sometime over those 16 years someone would have noticed that the two didn't match up. It's a good FML and I don't mean to be an asshole, just I don't think it deserves to be the top one if it's a made up story. Unless you, you're family, and everyone around you are a bunch of morons and you are accepting that...In which case FYL indeed.
#320 - On 04/23/2009 at 6:36pm by flippsizzle
wow does are some awesome parenting skills eh :D *sarcasm to the very core* and man you are freaking brilliant!*still sarcasm* how many brain cells you have, do you even have 1, do you even know what they are -.-'' and you should make sure your parents are really your parents o.o''
#321 - On 04/23/2009 at 7:34pm by mokamokasusuama
Why is everyone like 'how did you not know?' I never needed to look at my birth certificate when I was 16. My mom enrolled me, cause minors can't enroll themselves. You can't get a license or permit UNTIL you're 16. Most places won't hire people under 18. So, I highly doubt there'd be alot of situations where you would be forced to see your birth certificate.
But that really does suck. How can your parents NOT know the day they popped you out? It's not like its a painless short thing. Labor can take DAYS and yea...passing a watermelon out of your...yea, doesn't seem like something anyone can forget. Lmfao
#322 - On 04/24/2009 at 3:44am by Bella_x
At least your parents celebrated your birthday at all. Really, what's all that angst about? You have your birth certificate, go get your passport fixed. Tell your parents they've been celebrating your birthday on the wrong day. Have a good laugh!
#323 - On 04/24/2009 at 6:13am by mastermadman
Dude, that's just.. well, I'm truly at a loss for words.
#324 - On 04/24/2009 at 9:13am by blowyourspeakers
#321. That's the point...Even if YOU didn't have to look at the birth certificate SOMEBODY would..In your case your mom.
#325 - On 04/24/2009 at 3:33pm by flippsizzle
Oh so what?
It's not like they forgot your birthday for 16 years. Still celebrated it.
All you need is some white out for the baby books.
#326 - On 04/25/2009 at 3:46am by maggieislemons

#332 - On 04/26/2009 at 8:38pm by id0nTgiv3af___
What the hell is up with you "It could be worse" people? It can always be worse; that's not the point of FYLs. IT's just a way to vent and get a good laugh while you're at it. I'd rather get a belated birthday call every year before getting my birthday celebrated on the wrong day every year.
#333 - On 04/27/2009 at 7:35am by takemeaway10
Okay my name is Dearbhla,(it's irish,pronounced Derv-la,and means daughter of the poet...I'm Irish)and the person in the office,registering it spelled it Dearbhlá (the dash over the a is called a fada which means long in irish and the fada itself makes a vowel extra long in Irish...)for years I went around spelling my name Dearbhlá,which essentially spells Dearbhlaaaah.My mother didn't tell me it was a mistake until I began secondary school.
#335 - On 04/27/2009 at 4:02pm by Curly_Wurly
Hey, my parents frequently forget my birthday and age every couple of years. At least they consistently got the wrong date!
And it's all for in my case because I frequently forget their birthdays as well as holidays.
#338 - On 04/28/2009 at 3:59am by doctorweetodd
you should give your parents hell if mine did that they would never hear the end of it.
#339 - On 04/28/2009 at 5:10pm by gopher1992
my parents told me my birthday was june 13th but actully it was may 13th we celebrated on june 13th for 17 years when I was getting my passport i had to get my birth certificate and I found out that it was actully my birthday the day I was getting my passport. I didnt tell my parents I went in the room and I asked my dad to over look everything and his eyes went so big and he was like 'SHIT!'
#342 - On 04/29/2009 at 6:26pm by lilmissconfused
how can your parents possibly forget the day their child was born? &haha #239. [: oh and that suckss for youu.
#346 - On 04/30/2009 at 4:55pm by fuckitsmandee
At least they celebrate it, but it does sound like they are kinda stupid. I would let them know.
#353 - On 05/01/2009 at 4:23pm by jenhotindacity
dudeeeeee, that sucks hard.
at least you know now, right?
lol.
#357 - On 05/02/2009 at 11:51pm by Maddiemadbox
Wow, that's sad. Hope your parents didn't make that mistake over 20 years. If it is, they are sad...
How many days were your parents they off ?? I can somewhat understand 1 day. But, any more than that is just crazy. Have you not written your birthdate down on something and other family members have seen it?? Or were all your family members drunk the day you were born?? JK!
#362 - On 05/04/2009 at 8:47pm by Megliz
The same thing happened to my dad, except he didn't find out till he was going on a trip to Canada in his forties.
#367 - On 05/07/2009 at 11:06am by bethaneybailey
Birth certificates have a lot of mistakes. My oldest child's birth certificate got our names and the day right, but everything else was completely wrong. Don't be so quick to assume your parents screwed up.
Maybe they are celebrating the day of your conception. They know what day they sexed you up.
#371 - On 05/08/2009 at 12:19am by Tickle_Me_Kiki
maybe you were adopted and they are celebrating ur " Gotcha" day.... thats what my paretns do!
#372 - On 05/08/2009 at 12:30am by breezycat
Aww man! That'd SUCK. Celebrating your birthday on the wrong day for 16 years, really, fyl lol XD
#376 - On 05/09/2009 at 3:33pm by xDarknessInZero
what the fuck man this one is stupid. How is this the number one fml on the site? really? how insignificant is the actual day you were born?? please take this off moderators this should not be number one.
My name is jesus christ and the religion that believes in me has been celebrating my birthday on december 25th but i was really born in November. FML
You don't hear jesus bitching over the wrong birthday, you can just consider yourself to be in elite company.
#379 - On 05/11/2009 at 5:16pm by suaveneanderthal
My grandma spelt my name wrong on my birth certificate. I've been going around the last sixteen years with a misspelled name.
#383 - On 05/12/2009 at 8:02pm by blondiepants_
Somehow, I don't think that your mom would forget the day that she pushed you out. I'm willing to be that the birth date was a typographical error on the part of the person who typed it up. It happens more frequently than people realize. My last name has been altered drastically through the past few generations due to birth certificate errors. Even my birth certificate had an error. The form that my mom sent in had an e on the end of my middle name, but that was no e when the actual certificate came in. My mom noticed it, but didn't think it was important enough to have it changed. Maybe your parents just didn't notice the error.
#389 - On 05/13/2009 at 2:37pm by zengrenouille
That was kinda funny to read, though I suspect I would´ve gotten really pissed it it was me whose parents had celebrated my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years, or in my case 19 years. However, I do agree with #388.
my dad got my sisters middle name wrong on her birth certificate. It was supposed to be "Claire" but we have been informed its actually "Clare" which is apparently pronounced "klaar"
thats her new nickname
thats sad.i thought my parents were fucked up when they didnt take me out to dinner on my birthday but you topped me.
Hehe, im sorry man but thats funny. at least they didn't forget your name... or to give you presents.

lol dat. heh heh heh, actually my mum always fogets my little sister's birthday, even though it's sept 11th. ah well.
Now that I think about it, I didn't even know where I was born until I recently found my baby photo album with my birth certificate. Turns out I was actually born in Orange County. I don't know how that happened.
#411 - On 05/20/2009 at 2:52am by TheSilentRaver
That's not really a big deal, at all.
People born on February 29th celebrate their birthday on the wrong day almost every year also.
Your parents were probably just trying to block out the day your mom underwent immense pain.
:) what are you going to do?

Man thats no good. Mine had my ss wrong till I was 17!!
#414 - On 05/21/2009 at 6:08pm by Redneckangei1214
Damn...Do (more like Did) you not know your own birthday or what? Seriously, 16 years is a pretty long time.
#415 - On 05/22/2009 at 4:32am by my_sister_or_me
DAMN! That really sucks! Was it way off though? Well, that doesn't matter... it was still the wrong date!
This was the funniest FML ever! I mean it sucks. Like a lot. Epic fail by your parents BTW. But seriously this is the most popular one on the site. Never gets old...
They owe you so much!
#417 - On 05/22/2009 at 11:32pm by danisonx3
Whooooo cares?
Dates are easy to forget.
I guess FYL because your parents should remember important things pertaining to you, but meh, not so big of a deal.
#418 - On 05/24/2009 at 8:30am by bodyplastic
That's just plain screwy. I'd kill my parents if they'd been doing this to me- whether they knew it or not!
Awww, that really does suck, makes me want to go check if my birthday is right lmao.
#422 - On 05/24/2009 at 4:40pm by Mustcomment
Awww, danee 16 years and your bearly looking at your birth certificate?wow
#423 - On 05/24/2009 at 7:28pm by cookiee00
#3 - you're the moron. kids fill out their school forms now? oh, i didn't know a four year old was capable of that. i'm 15 and i've never seen my birth certificate. i've never needed to. you should know the information on the certificate, so why would you need to check it over? seriously, think before you comment.
and wooooow, that just plain sucks. wouldn't your mom remember that? unless you were adopted or something. that would just make it 10x worse though...
#426 - On 05/25/2009 at 1:00pm by suckstobeyou3
i would be very mad and tell them to give me 16 more presents
#427 - On 05/25/2009 at 1:03pm by happyreader1010
Omg that sux. And don't listen to the people that're calling you an idiot, you just missread, if anyones fault its your parents.
why does it matter ? at least you still get presents. and if it's just a couple days difference, don't worry about it?
i dont understand how people can pick "you deserved it"
#434 - On 05/25/2009 at 11:56pm by maggie_gxx
That sucks. That happened to my grandma, too. She didn't find out until she was in her 60s or 70s that her birthday is in June, not July.
#435 - On 05/26/2009 at 3:38pm by sleeptonight
omg omg omg! that happened to me too! I found out when I was like ..18 years old..they were two days off..but those two days changed even my horoscope! i was so pissed..
i guess after 3 other kids..the fourth just didn't matter?! fml..
Today, I was sleeping over at a camp friends house. She was asked out by a sick boy who was a perv. She was about to say no when we told her to 'play' with him and then break up with him at the end of the night. He asked to go to third with him and so send him a picture of her boobs. She said fine but since she had small boobs, one of my friends who was there but on her pink bra and took a picture of her boobs because they were really big. She texted it, the boy texted back those are so fake, you probably got them off of the internet. FML.
#443 - On 05/29/2009 at 8:01pm by solkowitz
How does this have over 14,000 YDI's? It's not his fault his family celebrated his birthday wrong it's not like he's exactly going to remember being born and what day it is. That sucks though FYL
My birth certificate is 2 months off..
My sister's is 10 days off..
And my mom's is 3 YEARS off.
LOL
What is #3 talking about? I never had to use my birth certificate to register for school or for anything at all until I was 16 and trying to get my driver's license.
#455 - On 06/01/2009 at 4:20am by RoguePenguin
It's possible the birth certificate was wrong. My original birth certificate was an entire year off before we had it fixed. It said I was a year older than I actually am.
#457 - On 06/02/2009 at 12:03am by meshuganeh
454 - you would have had to have a birth certificate to register for kindergarten (or first grade if you didn't go to kindergarten)
Wow, I'd run away; would they really even realize you were gone?
#462 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:22am by RustyBushmaster
U are a moron. I call shenigans on this one. 75% of this site is BS now with bored people making up stuff
Haha...my mom did the same thing to me. I had no clue until about the same age as you when I insisted on holding on to my own birth certificate and other personal documents, which I did because she had lost them so many times.
agree with 461 this is bullshit and not even funny..top fml...wtf.....but seriously this site is bs do you all really believe that crazy shit like that really happens everyday this shit comes from tv and overactive imaginations
Well, it sounds like you're scarred for life... stop whining.
#476 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:44pm by tedsheckler
That's a gay lie there y'all don't ye see ur a faguette
#485 - On 06/03/2009 at 9:53am by pianomaster189
Um, what the fuck? Wouldn't you know when your own birthday is to correct them.
#488 - On 06/03/2009 at 3:33pm by zoeisahoey
How is this the top fml of all time?! It's stupid!
#489 - On 06/03/2009 at 5:01pm by HeyThereGorgeous
I wouldn't be surprise is your dad celebrates his own birthday wrong.. Maybe spmethinga wrong with him..
Today i was walking down the hall and saw this really hot girl so i walked up to her and put my arm around her.i started to begin to flirt and then realized it was my 21 yearold english teacher. Mow i have a 2 hour detention on the last day of school
#495 - On 06/03/2009 at 7:45pm by cdogbeastman
Big fucking deal. It's not like you didn't have a birthday.
#496 - On 06/03/2009 at 7:55pm by lilyungmatt
Not true doctors would of had records an you would have to confirm it so not
True but that would suck :(
Haha wrong bday. For your whole life that would suk. But seriously how could they not know maybe they mixed u up with another kid
Who filled out your passport application? You have to write all the birth certificate info on the application. Ergo, you would look at it. Intricately.
Besides, a lot of legitimate legal documents have been printed with errors on them, such as misspellings, wrong dates/times, etc.
That does kind of blow, though...assuming someone else filled out your application for you and you're not just a dumbass.
That happened to my brother as well. He was refused by the bank for a bank account and then by some sort of catalogue, and found out it was because his birthday was registered as Jan 16th when he was actually born on Feb 16th. It does happen, but luckily our mother remembers the time he escaped her ovarian bastille.
#508 - On 06/04/2009 at 8:03am by brapbrapbrap
That's what you fuckn get for being a faggot ass dumb piece of shit son/daughter who doesn't even know their own birthday!,fuck your life and fuck youu!!
they probably had an event or a parents trip and told you a wrong date so you wouldnt think they missed your birthday!!!
this is so sad, but im laughin my ass off. hahahahaha. srry srry. lol
#520 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:41am by ninetynineji
wow, well now you know! and don't be angry @ the parents, they're only human =)

#527 - On 06/05/2009 at 4:24pm by thatkid1996
Well, look at it this way, at least your parents celebrate your birthday. I hope you were going somewhere nice.
#529 - On 06/05/2009 at 6:53pm by heyhihihello
#33, don't call people dicks no matter how stupid their explaination is, and #35, grow a brain, will you?
#531 - On 06/05/2009 at 7:02pm by heyhihihello
there are a lot of people who dont get to celebrate bdays at all! at least u celebrated, right date or not. :D
Awwww..thats sad, your parents have some explaining to do!
#542 - On 06/08/2009 at 3:19am by bluntcruisin
oh my goodness i would die...how the hell can you get your kids birthday wrong?!? youd think at least your mom would get it right considering she was the one who pushed you out and all...
#544 - On 06/08/2009 at 8:45pm by schweets503
#3, don't be stupid. Apply for school? It says in the post that the OP is 16.
Where I'm from, you don't "apply" for school yourself, your parents take care of your school shit until you go to college.
I realise this sucks, but there are far worse FMLs than this one in my opinion, I don't understand why this is the top one.
hahahahaha.... i would have killed my parents for that!
#550 - On 06/10/2009 at 8:42pm by guyanesedude1
So sorry to hear that,how does anyone vote that he deserved it he did nothing to deserve it.
#556 - On 06/12/2009 at 5:34pm by tomberryboy
it's all good. my dad has two birthdays. his mum remembers one, and his birth certificate says a different date. it's normal with the older generations and immigrants. even shirley temple didn't know she was actually a year older than she was told until her 12th birthday. atleast your life took an interesting turn eh? well not turn, uhh.. it's more of a surprise, or like a dramatic movie. eh eh?
Who gives a shit? My parents haven't celebrated my birthday... ever. Cause we can't afford to. Also, my parents spelled my effing MIDDLE NAME wrong on my birth certificate (I'm not even lying). This should not be the Top FML at all.
#562 - On 06/13/2009 at 1:59pm by conservatank
not that big of a deal. I mean, technically the whole b-day celebration thing is just made up anyway, it's not like every year on your birthday you spontaneously upgrade a year and grow then wait for the next.
well if u had already had ur birthday party that year, you had better have DEMANDED another :P and if u hadnt, now ur a little older. either way, U WIN. so no sad faces here.
#570 - On 06/15/2009 at 10:16pm by blackbear6193
who cares?
at least they celebrated your birthday.
this could've been worse
#573 - On 06/16/2009 at 9:43pm by ilovechocox
Haha. My friend actually had two birthdays becuase of the Gregorian calendar. Very confusing. Your parents obviously don't love you :(
Idk why evryone thinks this is like the BEST fml...
When I was lil and my b-day was like on a bad day, my parents wud just celebrate on a different day.
Even tho this was an accident on ther part...its still not a very big deal

Today, I found out my parents have been celebrating my birthday on the wrong day for 16 years. I mean, I still got presents and confirmation that they loved me, but that's worthless since the number of days between my exit from the womb and each celebration is not divisible by 365. F MY LIFE IN THE A! Waaaa!
#593 - On 06/24/2009 at 11:44pm by lkjhpoiu12346
I KNOW, SERIOUSLY. At least they CARED about you. It's just a freakin' birthday.
This is stupid, and everyone who thinks this person's parents suck, wow. In that case you guys do not know how to appreciate anything.
Why would anyone put YDI? it's not their fault their parents are retarded.
#595 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:53am by cowboy3030
Did they forget your birthday? Or do they just have a reason for celebrating on a different day?
If I were you I would definitely ask about that.
#597 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:38am by michaelsgirl
why the fuck is this the top fml?
so they celebrated your birthday on the wrong day.. maybe something bad happened that day and they just don't want to celebrate your birthday on that day.
its not like they never celebrated your birthday, it was just a different day.
i have literally no idea why this is so bad.
#599 - On 06/26/2009 at 1:55pm by stinkybutt
how whould you deserve that, it should be 100% your life is f*****
#601 - On 06/27/2009 at 12:14am by RandomName89
at least ur parents didn't name u Terkan that means someone who farts a lot in my language
e.g farter!!!
so suck it up!
#604 - On 06/28/2009 at 3:27am by terkan
Aha, Well last summer, me and my sister got our birthday cards from an aunt we don't ever see nor talk to. Well her being the corny aunt we don't like she wrote on the card for me "July 31 is my favorite day!" and on my sisters "August 3 is my favorite day!". My birthday is August 2nd, my sisters is July 30. And My aunt gives us money according to our age, she gave me sixteen, and my sister nine. I'm thirteen, my sister is eleven.
When I was 16, I got my birth certificate out of the filing cabinet to be able to get my driver license. What a surprise to see my B'day was celebrated 1 day off! Being the 4th child in 4 years then 3 more after me, plus 2 great cousins my parents raised,they could only conclude one year it must have been more convenient to celebrate it on that date. This has been an on going banter as to what the "real" day is. When I get a call a day late, they always have the excuse of the "not sure which day it really is". Truth be told, after 50 years, I'm still the only one that has the special day(s)!. I don't mind. I know they all love me.
Wow, long page :) Perhaps paged comments would be cool. Either way, if this is true, I laugh my ass off.
goddamn! this post has been best for the longest time, but it's not that bad
#613 - On 07/01/2009 at 4:00am by Rikki_Cares
This sucks yur a fucking tArs for not knowing yur actual birthday
#622 - On 07/06/2009 at 12:57pm by mjsdabeast
Becuase there are three types of manatee's I can see why your mom was confused but mabe if she trimed the bushes the airconditioner wouldent have ate them. Only Oxy-clean can help you in this dire hour....
It's not that bad. My family has been mistaken about my name for the 1st 17 years of my life. Damn them for given me 2 middle names, and thinking I had 2 first names. That really looks horrible.
#629 - On 07/10/2009 at 1:52am by HiddenAce91
That does suck for you, but that doesn't sound logical.
#634 - On 07/14/2009 at 1:01pm by 2hollister2
This isn't a true FML. If it happened to me, I'd laugh my head off and simply have an awesome story to tell for the rest of my life. And my parents would owe me a BIG one.
i would shit a brick if i found that out xD im sorry bro
#641 - On 07/18/2009 at 5:28am by jerrelbrown14
this is not even remotely funny. I have no idea how it managed to stay on the top of the list for soo long.
#642 - On 07/18/2009 at 10:43am by HeyThereGorgeous
My cousin's got it worse. When she had to get a copy of her birth certificate, she found out her parents had her AGE wrong her whole life. She was actually a year OLDER than they said she was.
This came as a surprise to noone, since her parents are very stupid people.
#652 - On 07/26/2009 at 5:29pm by yumpinyiminy
Dang.. That sucks!
I got my driver's license yesterday.. They spelled my name "Caasey" think that could be a problem down the road? :o
I got my provisional license in the post today. Nothing really to do with the FML but I just thought I'd share it.
#656 - On 08/01/2009 at 7:05am by Satyromaniac
Picture? Haha! Just kidding.
Don't let an immature co-worker get you down. As other people are saying, she might have not been laughing about it being small. Unless she specifically said something about you having a small dick, you don't need to worry. It could have been the fact that it was insanely HUGE or she was just laughing that you spilled it on yourself. Anyway, next time she bends down, look at her boobs and laugh. Being a girl myself, I know that would hurt a lot of my friends. Again, don't worry about it. :)

That's funny. The same thing happened to me. My parents celebrated my bday on the 1st of august for 18 years and on my 18th bday i got my birth certificate in that said the 7thand the social sercurity office said the same thing. my dad still denies it.
#662 - On 08/06/2009 at 1:24pm by AdrienneNiki
my dads birthday is in october and it was messed up when he moved to the united states, so hed been celebrating his birthday in august for like 30 years. he just found out lol

So your parents have been celebrating your birthday on the wrong day for 16 years and you never noticed either? I also agree with #667. Its probably fake.
#668 - On 08/09/2009 at 2:02pm by iloveblackshirt6
Wow. I'm about your age and my parents dont even celebrate my bday. Atleast you get to celebrate! wow you are so ungreatful... -_-
#669 - On 08/10/2009 at 12:20am by system_freak
that actually happened to my younger cousin. his parents celebrated his birthday a month later than his real birthday, and we didn't catch it until he was about 14.
omg, that sucks so bad.
how could your parents do that to you?
#678 - On 08/18/2009 at 8:19pm by bridget_909
Actually i think it's not a big deal,you make your birthday party done at least and you never miss one
wow this shouldnt even be on the top this is wack the other one about the kid getiing a erection thats numbah 1
Today i checked the all time tops for FML's since i just found this site today, and i saw that something THIS stupid is first. FML
how do you not notice the problem before you send it in anywayss?
so fake. sooo sooo fake.
and ridiculous,
you should be banned from fml forever.

#741 - On 10/25/2009 at 10:23am by catwest8686
Am I missing something here? While this interesting, it isn't really an FML, let alone the best one of all time. I mean, at least they WERE celebrating his birthday, right? If so, then why is this an FML?
#744 - On 10/27/2009 at 9:25pm by LadyGaGaRox
Im only 16 so i dun no if there are any legal issues to why this would be a FYL, but if its just that yer parents have been celebrating yer b-day on the wrong day then i dun understand how this is a FYL.
In Need of Explanation
this is pretty weird, but i did notice this FML -and another one about some guy getting dumped by his girlfriend because of twilight- are both from this person. But this FML was apparently submitted by a woman , whether on the other FML it's obviously a guy.
Fake much?
#748 - On 11/01/2009 at 10:31am by the_holy_one
ok what the fuck. this thing has been top fir fucking ever. stop posting and give a real one a chance. Damnit...
#752 - On 11/03/2009 at 10:44pm by Notastalker

At less your parents give a shit about you and your birthday, I haven't gotten a b - day gift in 18yrs. be happy and stay glad cause someone in your life gives a shit!
#759 - On 11/09/2009 at 10:20am by Mr_Valentine
you are such a fake (op)
this is a post that's a woman, but unless you have a girlfriend and she wants you to he more like 'edward',
you lied
this post is made by noname
so is this one:
Today, my girlfriend dumped me proclaiming she wanted someone more like her "Edward". I asked her who Edward was. She held up a copy of her "Twilight" book. She was talking about a fictional vampire. FML
obviously you can't be a man and a woman at the same time
ydi for lying

That is hilarious! Something very similar has happened to me. My mother had eight children and mine and my younger birthdays were somewhat close, so she got confused and told me all the way up to 5th grade that my birthday was on the 30th and that my brother's birthday was on the 31st. Then, in 5th grade, we were doing state testing, and my teacher asked why I put the 30th down as my birthday and told me that it was wrong. Turns out, she had us confused. I had thought for 10 years that my birthday was the 30th!
