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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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. =/

psh, don't really get how this is an FML.. i've never had a fake id but still managed to get drinks and stuffs? could've just asked peoples. ;p and for the record, everyone who's saying "21", etc, not every country is that age. in the UK the legal drinking age is 18. =]

What?! How is this an fml? Your parents are so cool! Twenty points to them for just slyly hanging onto the card for three months instead of bitching you out about it.

I'm in Australia and it's 18 here too :) Yay! Your parents seem to have taken it quite well and I think you should be pleased with that outcome instead of bitching about it!

#17 Shut up. #66 In America during Elementary and Jr. High school, you really don't learn that much about history except for that of the US. However in the latter grades at many high schools, there are courses involving Global Studies, World History etc., so Americans are in fact aware about the history of numerous countries around the globe. It may just be because I'm just another "ignorant" American, but can you please explain to me how you can judge the intellect of the American people solely based on the education that 9-13 year old children receive, because I don't see how this is possible. Anyway... To the OP: You're parents seem to have a good sense of humor. They could have just confronted you about having a fake ID a while ago.

Technically in the UK under the Children and Young Persons Act you can consume alcohol from age 5, yes age 5, but you cannot purchase or consume alcohol in a pub or from a store until age 18. You can also order one alcoholic drink (beer or wine), with a meal in a restaurant if an adult is present, from age 16.

dude at least they didn't grill you for it when they did find it! Also, at least you only lost it for 3 months! I lost my fake ID when i was 16 (18 is the legal drinking age in Australia). I couldn't wait another 2 years so I had to go and get a whole new one... pain in the ass!
