Today, I received the box my parents sent me for my birthday. Contents were a travel first-aid kit, and a remote control robot toy, with an age recommendation on the box of 8. I'm 29. They thought that since I'm an engineer I would like the toy. They also think I'll hurt myself with it. FML

Take a photo (a fake one of course) of you getting maimed by the robot. Send it to your parents with "YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON ME" attached to it.

Wicked sense of humor, that's what they have ^^' #6 : good one xD

Oh god, that was great. I'm sorry to hear about the parental fail but it's hilarious.

it'd be more FML if you DID hurt yourself

At 29, I think you should be grateful that you got a gift at all, and that your parents are thinking of you. That said, I clicked FYL not because your gift sucked, but because clueless parents are capable of wreaking amazing damage on your life. Stay on your toes, OP.

Perhaps the idea isn't to play with the toy but to disassemble it and have a good ol fiddle. Band aids in case you hurt yourself or a passive reminder to be careful ;)

I think that's a cute gift. But should have taken it out of box :P

HAHA! That's awesome. It doesn't hurt to have some extra band-aids. C'mon its a gift! What else are they going to give the big engineer? Autocad?

Would you rather they'd gotten you a ***** and extra batteries, so then you could say something like, "Even my parents know my sex life sucks. FML" Just sayin'.
