I hate surprises
Today, my family and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me, after I'd said multiple times that I didn't want one. I turned and left and now everybody is angry at me and calling me ungrateful and spoiled. FML

This going to be fun
Today, my wife asked me what I wanted for my upcoming birthday. Mindful of our budget, I said I just wanted to relax at home all day and then get a nice dinner with her. She blew up and yelled that I'm "using my birthday to be a lazy slug." FML

Ironic
Today, after five years in a row of my family doing absolutely nothing to even acknowledge my birthday, I got train tickets to see my boyfriend for the weekend and celebrate with him. I woke up to six angry texts about how I'm "selfish" for not staying at home with my family. FML

It isn't
Today, it's my birthday, none of my friends wished me a thing. I spent the whole day crying and then decided to call few of them and sobbingly demanded an explanation. Most of them didn't pick up, the rest called me a drama queen, saying that my birthday isn't as important as I think. FML

Birthday Bitch
Today, I received an angry phone call from a friend whose birthday party I missed last night. Yesterday, I gave birth to my son. She claims that I ruined her party and demands I still bring her a birthday gift. FML

Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML

Pulled a sneaky on you
Today, I found out that my work threw me a birthday party alongside my coworker’s birthday. Said coworker spread a rumor, telling everyone that I wanted each person to buy me flowers and cake. Everyone thought that I was a weirdo for asking for those things from them. I wasn't at work today. FML

Has anyone considered that op may have asked for one a pillow that's extremely expensive? His/ her parents may have a hard time justifying a $100+ pillow

Who else is thinking this FML probably isn't actually true? I mean there is a chance it is, but I mean I could write a lie as an FML and make it seem as though it's real so, yeah.

One of the rules of FML is to not claim an FML is fake. Besides, what evidence you have? There ARE parents that are just that stingy with their money that they won't even buy a pillow.

There's obviously more to this.

Like most FMLs, I assume this is an exaggeration.... The person who asked what they would like probably had that response in a joking manor as it's an unusual, yet practical gift and had a sarcastic response to represent that.
