Today, I turned 18. My parents gave me a card that read "now that you're 18, it's time for some boozy fun... you can do all the things you did before but legally!" Taped to the inside was my fake id that I "lost" three months ago. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML
Today, I turned 21 and had a huge party because I could finally drink legally. Got arrested for public intoxication. FML
Today, my parents gave me a sock and card for my eighteenth birthday. The card said, "Now that Dobby is free, get out." FML
Today, I got my fake ID and went out with the boys to dinner and the bars. One of my friends asked to see my ID. He noticed my birthday didn't make me over 21. I paid $170 for a fake ID with my real birthday. FML
Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I went to buy some beer using my fake ID, when the cute cashier and I started flirting. When he asked me how old I was, I said without thinking, "Nineteen." FML
Today, I celebrated my 18th birthday. Alone. My only birthday wish came from the police officer who gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I got a change of ID. My old ID had its corner cut off and was given a temporary paper ID. I went to a bar in another town to have some drinks. Turns out I couldn't because they couldn't use my old ID or my temporary one to let me drink, even though I'm 22. I've been there before and I work at my town's liquor store. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I never understood why people couldn't just wait until 18 to drink/smoke/etc. It's not exactly like waiting until you're 65 to retire. =/

lmao #6 is a dumbass. In most places the drinking age is not 21.

#121 It wasn't really my choice whether or not to 'stick around' but I'm glad I didn't. So you think it's okay to only teach kids about THE REST OF THE WORLD when they get to their middle teens? When their prejudices are already well formed? In any country in Europe kids will start learning about at least European history and World geography before double digits. The American education system is rubbish, and doesn't teach you as much of anything, not even maths. A friend of mine who excelled at maths, and took the highest level courses their high school had to offer and aced them, was immediately rejected from the top UK universities because he simply didn't have enough knowledge. He had not done enough of the required material. So I don't even want to consider how little maths ordinary American students know.

Enough to know that it's math, not maths :) Nah, I'm just messing with you non-Americans. Our system does need an overhaul, but we're not all stupid. My friend was doing trig in third grade. The rest of us normal kids got to trig in seventh, which still isn't bad.

To all those who are saying the OP's a moron because 'it's a felony to own a fake ID', and to those sensible folks such as #74 who acknowledge that different countries have different laws: Assuming this is in the U.K., then having their fake ID is almost certainly not a crime. As far as I can tell, most fake IDs in the U.S. are fake driving licenses, which are obviously illegal in both countries for good reasons. However, nobody in the U.K. bothers with them, because you can on the whole fool any barman with a shitty 'European Student Card' or whatever, and these are not at all illegal as they are 'for novelty purposes'. Using them to buy alcohol is illegal, but only as far as buying alcohol underage is illegal anyway (and in 2006, only 10 people were prosecuted under this law). I don't really see why this is an FML, but it's very funny. Just be glad you're legal now! I've gotta wait until July, so I'll never know the joy of having a (legal) drink at school lunch-break.

71-That must depend on the state, because it is absolutely not the case in Illinois.
