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.

so am i the only person to have gotten a used car when i got my license and a brand new car a month later at age 17? i dont think he was out of line to ask for a better car. and i think the point is that he expected a car and got a book...big difference there.

I haven't read all the comments, but I feel like I'm the only one who considered the possibility that the OP's car might ACTUALLY be a piece of crap. Maybe it breaks down. Maybe the gas mileage sucks. Maybe the air conditioner doesn't work right. Maybe he's had to make a lot of repairs to it. Or maybe no0t. But regardless, I think the point/punchline of this fml was that he got a book on photography and doesn't even own a camera. It's a gift, and it's nice, but it's kind of useless to him if he doesn't have a camera or isn't interested in photography.

Hi, its my 17th birthday Monday and I'm getting nothing. I actually asked for a photography book too. You can give me yours. Oh yeah, if I asked for a car my parents would laugh and say get a job.

Apparently being one of the lucky few teenagers to have their own car doesn't mean shit to you unless is a ******* Lamborghini.

Stupid spoiled asshole. I can almost guarantee I won't have my own car until I pay for one myself. I bet the I don't own a camera was fake just so you could make it seem "worse", well honestly you sound a bit to spoiled to not have a camera. FML is nothing but fake's these days. FML was great too read too. Now all of the FML's are either A. From people's ENORMOUS stupidity. B. Fake or C. About .01% of the time Funny, Real or something not stupid.
