Today, is my 21st birthday. I get home after my night out and walk into the garage to see a 2002 Red Corvette convertible. I run up to the car thinking its a gift and there's a note: "Dani this is not your birthday present. Quit drooling on my car. -Dad" Thanks Dad. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML

Today, I walk out of my apartment to find that my car is decorated with explicit drawings and "Happy 21st birthday" stuff written all over it. To top it off, my vehicle is completely wrapped in plastic wrap. I'm 22 and my birthday is in December. FML

Today, was my 16th birthday and I was supposed to be surprised with a new car. I have overheard my parents talking about bringing it home tonight while I was at a friend's house. We snuck back to my house to see them bring my car home. All I saw was my Dad crash my new car into a street lamp. FML

Today, I was having my birthday party. My dad showed up late, blind drunk, and drove his car straight through my garage door. FML

Today, my Dad sent me an e-mail wishing me a "Happy 21st Birthday, sweetheart!" The message went on and on about how much he loves and misses me and wishes we were closer, and can't believe how fast I'm growing up. I'm 23 and my birthday is in December. 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, my Dad gave me my birthday card. The envelope was blank, as was the card, and the £0.25 price tag was still on. He was fully aware of all these things, but handed it to me and said, "By the way, I didn't write anything." Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it's my birthday and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML

Why would they give you such an expensive car??? Buy your own car, you're an adult!

That sucks. Guys, the FML part is the part that the dad bought himself a car, even though it's his daughter's B-day. Selfish, much? If that happened to me I'd dent the car, and then I'd give him the cold shoulder for a week. I like to play that way. :P

why would you think you were getting a corvette for your birthday? That's a little much for just being a year older

lol I'd laugh it off and bring it up during family reunions. It's funny how he knew you were going to assume it was for you. Harhar.

You're 21 years old. Why do you think you deserve a car for your birthday? Buy one yourself.

to all the people telling her to buy a car herself: the op never said she deserved or expected a car. but honestly, if it was your birthday, at any age, and you all of a sudden saw a nice car at home that you wanted, what would you think? that's a harsh note from your dad.

Whatever, corvettes suck anyway. They are for old people trying to look young, or cool or rich. They don't look that great, or have good back seats, or good performance and sound like something is dying. Your dad should have got a BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Those would have gotten him much more attention and apreciation from people who really care about cars instead of 12 year old who think a Corvette is like a Ferrari.
