Today, I turned 18. My parents got me a pineapple and a pair of socks. I'm allergic to pineapple, and the socks are too small. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML
Today, I won a lifetime supply of pineapples. One problem, I'm allergic to pineapples. FML
Today, I had dinner with my family in celebration of my 19th Birthday. I've been hinting that I need a new laptop for months now and I was sure my family had bought me one. I have got a pair of slipper socks. 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, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. 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, for my 18th birthday my mum gave me a black lace thong. I'm a guy. FML
Today, I turned 18. My parents remembered that I loved German chocolate cake, so I awoke to a hot, fudge-filled chocolate cake with a slice cut out just for me. I've been lactose-intolerant for 8 years. As I cried, my mom handed me tissues, while eating the "Happy" part of my cake. FML
Today, my mother bought me Mickey Mouse shaped burgers for my dinner. I'm 19. FML
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

Give the socks to the pineapple. I'm sure he'll appreciate them.

I'm not making any assumptions, but there are definitely some children who treat their parents like dirt... and if you happened to be an inconsiderate brat your whole life, it seems fair that you'd be rewarded with a cruddy gift. On the other hand, a bratty kid could be the product of bad parenting. I don't know. I'll bet you're an awesome person, OP. Happy (late) birthday!

Actually my sister had just switched to her in-laws' beliefs on commercialism a few months after I started college, so I didn't know they didn't celebrate holidays. And my point was that not everyone gets things for their birthdays, or even celebrates birthdays/holidays, so be happy they remembered. And hey, you could always do what someone in a different comment said, make a joke out of it.

I'm so sorry about that, OP. My parents did absolutely nothing for my 18th back in February. But the pineapple thing may be worse.
