Today, for my birthday, my friends and family gave me: A Wii Fit, a free year at the gym and a book of diet recipes. They didn't consult with each other. I've asked for "something corresponding to me". FML

Today, it was my birthday. My parents got me a box of cupcakes. My brother got me a deck of cards. My aunt got me a brochure on how to quit smoking. I have diabetes, I don't play cards, and I don't smoke. FML

Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML

Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Thank you #12, I was more focused on her improper use of "correspond" than her weight.

YDI. You phrased that wrong. Next year, say: "Something that I would enjoy." Then, you won't necessarily get weight loss shit, but something you're gonna be happy with. But anyway, you might as well take advantage of your gifts, fat ass :)

Did the person SAY they were ungrateful for the presents? No. It's obviously just a little bit of an unpleasant feeling to receive presents suggesting that you lose weight. FML isn't about criticizing other peoples FML's. Just read the FML and think to yourself 'Hmm.. that does stink. Glad it's not me' and then go on your merry way. Besides look at the rest of you guys, wasting your life criticizing other people's FML's. Awesome life.

Oh, then if we can't comment FMLs anymore, then why not disable the comments section at all?

People put FML's on here to vent and because they're funny. Not to have people call them fat or say why they should be happy with their life. Nobody knows them or knows what's going on with their life. So don't be jerks and tell them what they are doing wrong.

I see your point, but the fact is still that her friends spent so much money on gifts and the OP decides to post this on FML. You have to admit it's pretty ungrateful.

she never said she was ungrateful, it just stings a little to be called fat. especially over again by a million comments when you are trying to vent.

Ok before you fly off into an offended tizzy, I'm willing to bet they all got you those presents because you have at least *mentioned* wanting to diet/get more fit/lose weight/any variation on this theme. I don't believe that not one, but THREE friends and family members would (on your birthday no less!) take the time to drop such expensive and potentially hurtful hints unless you prompted them somehow. I'm sure they think they are giving you exactly what you wanted, this is not some conspiracy plot to hurt your feelings or call you a lard-ass.

You ate FML'ing about this? At least you got presents and people that love you enough to celebrate your birth and life! Did you at all think that maybe they did this because they want to keep celebrating it for years to come?

They seem like loved ones that care about your health and happiness to me. I'm sure you know your overweight already, and now your just ungrateful.
