Today, it's my 17th birthday. I asked for a newer car because my car right now sucks. I got a book on photography. I don't own a camera. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, was my birthday. I asked for a camera - nothing fancy, just a basic digital camera. My mother bought my brother a fancy digital camera, with all the accessories, for over £200. She then gave me his old, analogue camera, that I can't get film for anymore. He hates taking photos. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML
Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday and my mom promised me she'd buy me a car. She came home with a toy lego car. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML
Today, it's my 26th birthday. My girlfriend gave me a matchbox car, a glow necklace, and a squirt gun. For her birthday, I bought her a new dress, rented a limo, and took her around to bar hop with her friends. 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, is my brothers 16th birthday. He got keys to the Lexus. I'm 18, have no car, and got pajama pants and chapstick for my birthday. FML
Today, six days before I turn 18, my mom totaled her nice BMW. She had promised it to me as a birthday present. My step-dad is giving me his old rusty truck instead, so now I can look like a hick. 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

Wahhhhhh. So let me guess, your parents have already bought you a car last year and you want another one? Do you really think money grows on trees? Buy your own car, mooch.

You sound spoilt. You're 17 and own a car, you should be happy enough.

i learned to drive/drove my parent's ford e150 van until it literally fell apart and i appreciated it. you have your own car, which i'm sure you didn't pay for yourself. that's a gift not a lot of people have. get over yourself and appreciate it. if you hate it THAT much, go get a job and buy a new one. then maybe you'll appreciate that not everyone can throw $13,000 around for their spoiled brat of a child's birthday.

**** you, I'm 18 and I can't even get my first car because my brother went to the hospital with some randomass disease no one has heard of.

OP, cry some more you little bitch. Define a sucky car. I bet it runs, and has operating safety equipment. And guess what little bitch, at 17, that's all you need. That, and an ass-beating for just expecting a ******* car on your birthday, with no work. The book was probably just a sign of your parents not giving a rip about your stupid request. Get ****** and wake up, douche.

really? when i was 17 i had to pay for half of my car and I only got one because I live in a really rural area and it takes 20 minutes to get anywhere by car. Not only that but I had to use the car I had to run errands for my parents and pick up my brother from school and such and when something was wrong with either of my parents cars I had to give them mine AND my younger brother will be using the same car as me. SO get off your high horse and deal with the car you were given. Ungrateful little prat

oh no you didn't get a car. I STILL don't have a car, for my 17th birthday I got nothing, suck it up. you already have a car if it works don't complain. Some of us don't get things handed to us, imagine what it would be like if you had to buy something yourself. oh no.

Not even the world's smallest violin will play for you. You're 17 and you got a car, which is more than many kids can say. Two, I really hope to god you're not one of those idiots that is obsessed with The Fast and the Furious because I swear to god the next car I see with a hole drilled in the muffler to make their car sound cool will get my foot planted though the driver's side door.

You whiny little ****. The car your parents bought you for your birthday a year ago isn't good enough. You need a new one. For my 16th birthday I got to go out to dinner. Didn't bitch about that. For my 17th birthday I got to go see my family in NY. Didn't bitch about that. For my 18th birthday I got ******* suitcases so I could move out. Didn't bitch about that. Now I'm 19, live on my own, work 50 hours a week, 30 minutes away from my home, still don't have a car, and still don't have a ******* problem with it. Because to be quite honest there are many FARRR more important things in this world than A NEW ******* CAR YOU ******* SHIT!!!!!!
