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

You guys, I don't think OP was expecting a car...she just used that as an example of a typical birthday present from parents nowadays. It is a bit weird to get a grave plot as a present, honestly...I don't think I'd enjoy that at any age. I'd be more suspicious then anything O.o lol

except that's not a typical present

I don't see why anyone in the UK would get a car for their child's 17th! You can't learn to drive until you're 17. So they wouldn't be able to drive it yet!!

Maybe not where you live. Where I live, kids my age tend to get a cheap used car for their birthday as encouragement to go out and find a job. Besides that, it's portrayed as a typical teenager present on tv a lot, so I'm not surprised the OP thinks of it as such.

Where OP is she wouldn't have a licence yet. You can't learn to drive until 17 in the UK and most don't have their own car until they actually pass their test

Where I live, you get your license at 16, and most teenagers get cars for there 16th birthdays...same situation, different age...

Whereas I don't know a single person who got a car for their birthday, ever! I live in a fairly poor area though.. I don't know about where you are, can you drive supervised with a learners permit or something before 16? We can't here.
