Lower your expectations
Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML
Today, it's my 17th birthday. I asked for a newer car because my car right now sucks. I got a book on photography. I don't own a camera. FML
Today, my father gave me the best birthday gift, a piece of real estate. I got a grave, which is leased. FML
Today, was my 16th birthday and I was supposed to be surprised with a new car. I have overheard my parents talking about bringing it home tonight while I was at a friend's house. We snuck back to my house to see them bring my car home. All I saw was my Dad crash my new car into a street lamp. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML
Today, my grandma bought me a cemetery plot for my birthday. If that's not weird enough, it's about a two-minute walk from where the rest of my family will be buried. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and my kids gave me my car keys I had "lost" a week ago. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday and my mom promised me she'd buy me a car. She came home with a toy lego car. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. The only gift I got was a bill from my parents. Apparently, the rent is due on the 1st. FML

FYL for getting such a morbid gift, while your parents may want to get you a plot next to where they will be one day it's just not an appropriate celebratory gift - You deserve it for setting such high expectations as to a gift. Cars cost lots of money, I don't know why teenagers expect them free - When I was 18 my mom said "You need a car to get to school", took me shopping and I ended up using all of MY savings on a down payment and just finally paid the damn thing off. . .I don't think any of my friends got cars from their parents come to think of it. Especially at your age birthdays become less about presents - My parents I thought were extremely generous and for the last few years would pay 1 car payment on my birthday [ $200 ] but now that that is over I get a dvd or two, which I'm fine with.

1) I comment on about [3-4] new FMLs per day. . .With a few dozen being released each day. 2) While some people bitch and moan about my long comments or whatever I typically see VERY positive responses and personal messages so, I don't care. 3) You're not required to read a single thing I write. 4) Every personal experience I write about correlates to the FML posted as a segway to depicting my point - Now, if you're not smart enough to find my point I'm sorry.
