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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

Wow... I was lucky enough to get a car for my 16th birthday and I would have been ridiculously grateful for any car, no matter how shitty it was. While you aren't getting a new car, there are other kids that aren't sure if they will be able to eat. Poor baby.

You expected a new(er) car from your parents with the current economy? Y-*******-DI, you little twat. Get a job and save for your own car, or save to fix your current one. Don't ever expect that type of shit.

You spoiled little child. Perhaps the book was an attempt to sway your shallow, rice-rocket-hungry life around to something with more substance such as art. But no, you expect your parents to drop thousands into a new car. FTL. I hope the car you have now fully breaks down, you whiny bitch.

Today, it was my son's 17th birthday. He spent all day whining because we didn't get him a new car. He already has one. FML.

Cars are expensive... if you're hoping for a CAR when you're 17, you're clearly not mature enough to own one. YDI.

I hope your car leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere. But then again judging from your post you'd probably blame your parents for not buying you a new car, and god forbid your parents don't need anymore of your crap. Photography is a interesting hobby, maybe it'll educate you to look at life through a different lens. HA.

Gee, your life REALLY sucks. No car at 17. Like, nothing else could ever really be worse than that. When you're 35, try bitching about it then.
