Best way to get back at them: Get pregnant

Take a TV for your present

@6 Even better - Get preggers and have a third trimester shmashmortion at the shmashmortion clinic

At least you got a huge plasma screen!!!

i think you mean "only 3 TVs"

my sentiments exactly...a dinner leaves you with buyer's remorse, atleast they have something to show for there money with a plasma...what an ungrateful brat you are.

Plasma screens suck. Hopefully it'll break on them and they'll regret not taking you out

Seriously, a meal last a few hours, TV last a few months and maybe years. Move that $800 TV into your room.

Tv's last a few months? more like several years or more.

That sucks but it's not your money and $800 is an awesome deal for a plasma screen.

YDI for being so greedy

You're missing the point. They didnt bring her out for dinner because they said it would cost to much. But they got the plasma screen for THEMSELVES.

Who cares if they got it for themselves? It's their money to do what they want with. It's selfish to expect presents when your parents pay for your home and food on a daily basis. Besides, OP doesn't even live in New York and a trip to NYC is expensive and time consuming.

From Jersey? Bullshit. Unless you're a dumbass and book a flight or something.

Expensive? Lol. I live on the Jersey shore- NYC's only a short train ride away, or about an hour's drive away. It's not expensive at all. Also, do you see how you mention they pay for food on a daily basis? Why not eat out for a day, then? If they're already paying for food, that's even less reason to deny it.

Not really. We got one for about 400.

Bitch. People are living without water and you're pissed because you didnt get to go for an expensive dinner, and mad because your parents worked to earn the money for a plasma that you'll use a ton over the next couple of years? YDI you ungrateful little asshole.

you're the even bigger asshole here. her family's already got three TVs, and all she asked for was a nice dinner in new york that would definitely cost way less than the $800 plasma TV they have. a good dinner for at least $200 or so would be less than a dent on the parents' wallets, you fucking cunt.

143, ur awesome :-)

break the Tv?

You fucking idiot. They didnt buy the tv for OP.

It was her birthday, and they didn't get the tv for her

What's the big deal with birthdays anyway? A person could've been a bum for a whole year and still have a birthday. No accomplishment worth celebrating.

eat the lasagne and throw eggs. lasagne is too good

The comments aren't a place to debate with yourself

LOL 9

#9 is more annoyed at the guy who thought his comment through than the guy who shouted first.... Maybe your parents are trying to surprise you on your birthday. Stay optimistic.

The FML comments aren't for commenting on the other FML comments?!?! Then they should wipe out 92% of the 'comments'! I agree, this one is hard to vote on.

well, i dno how they found a huge plasma for $800 that's a great deal

Good deal or not, its still a bad idea to buy plasma anyways when LCDs last longer and have equally good picture. Oh and OP that sucks, your parents are rude beyond belief

Haha, great idea! Take it and keep it in your room, and say that you changed your mind about your birthday present. Now they don't have to take you to NYC for dinner, and you'll feel better about the fact that they bought a plasma TV instead.
