Today, my family asked where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner. They shot down my every suggestion and decided on sushi. I'm allergic, so the only thing I could eat was a veggie appetizer. Dad said I need to "expand my palate." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my family picked a place for my birthday dinner. They chose a seafood restaurant. I'm allergic. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was taking me out to eat to his favorite restaurant. He said I could order whatever I wanted and he'd pay for it. He took me to Red Lobster, knowing full well that I'm allergic to seafood. FML
Today, my family took me to a steak house. I went for an eight minute bathroom break, coming back to an empty table. They ordered dessert, and left me the bill. I'm a vegetarian, and it's my birthday. FML
Today, I begged my parents not to take me to a restaurant for my birthday, but sure enough, they took me to one, along with my siblings, aunts, uncles, you name it. Ordering with them is a nightmare, so after a whole half-hour the waiter still hadn’t gotten everyone’s complicated orders written down. FML
Today, for the third time this month, my family ridiculed me for being picky for ordering a burger without lettuce. They know I'm allergic. FML
Today, the family I was serving had ordered calamari and when I brought out the food, they started yelling at me because apparently their daughter was allergic to it. Just why would you order it then? FML
Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My only birthday present was a cake that my dad bought from Walmart. Well, it sure looked tasty. The only problem: it had nuts on it. Guess what I'm highly allergic too? At least my dad told me he'd "tell me how it tastes." FML
Today, my family and I went to Olive Garden. Due to my autism, I sometimes have a nervous tic, which presented itself while I was looking at the menu. I would have appreciated it if my mom hadn't then screamed at me to stop in front of the entire restaurant. FML
Today, my parents were supposed to take me out to eat for my birthday, but since their favorite child wasn't with us, I instead got a mini order of tots from Sonic as my birthday meal/present. FML

Hopefully you will soon be old enough to get the **** away from those poison bastards! I don't care if they are your family, they are poison and you are better off without them!

I love sushi so that's always my first choice, but that sounds like hell for you.

Allergic to all fish? Ok. Allergic to all fish AND shellfish AND chicken AND beef (because I've never seen a sushi place that didn't also have a kitchen for chicken/beef dishes as well) AND salad AND soup? I'm with your dad here. Even if you're allergic to all fish (which is a new one to me), you could have had Teppanyaki, tempura, Katsu, teriyaki...

Unless, of course, it really was JUST a sushi restaurant, where all they make is sushi. OP may have also been super allergic, and there's too much cross contamination to eat safely.

Well, you’re one birthday closer to being grown so you can take yourself anywhere you want for dinner. Sorry about your dinner, happy birthday!

I'd have pointed out to dad by saying "Well dad, if I expand my palate by eating sushi, I'll die. Or did you forget that?" And then to the rest of your family, remind them it is YOUR birthday. They asked where YOU wanted to go and they definitely shouldve respected that.

Sucks for you.... But Sucks for me as I don't even get a birthday present, party or dinner...

Cook them a nice dinner on their anniversary with something they are allergic to or just with a lot on x-lax. Or dog shit. Improvise if you have to
