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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 think your parents might have been saying "Oh.. so you want a new car? Here's a book on photography, so you can teach yourself how to take a picture of someone who cares."

BTW, they totes mcgotes need to give people a gold medal for getting enough thumbs-ups on their comments. cause people like this'n, plex, toxi, redbluiegreen, myself, mercy, would put michael phelps to shame.

well, they ARE the few, like me, who make sense among the mindless hordes on this site. For a layman like you, I'll put it this way. The people listed, including myself, are the few bright shining stars in an otherwise very dim sky...get it? so piss off, nobody cares for you or your simple opinions/analysies.

hahaha AWESOME!... OP: ive wanted a civic as my first car since I was 16. Im 19 now, got laid off my job a couple months ago, cant find another one and still taking public transportation. Maybe your parents didnt know what to get you since you already have EVERYTHING you could possibly need...stop being a bitch and attempt to do something with your life

I don't know if your family is super-rich, but unless they are, YDI for wanting a new car, just because you don't like the one you have! Of course, presents like a book on photography suck extremely when you don't even own a camera, but maybe your family won it in a tombola and can't afford more? In this case YDISM!

can you send me your old car? I'm sure it would be better than having to catch 2 buses which go at right angles to each other for a 45 minute commute.

Oh, your life is f'ed for sure. Just think of all the horror stories you'll be able tell your grandkids: "Back in my day, life was so tough. I had to drive a used car when I was 16! And then my parents wouldn't buy my ungrateful ass a newer one for my 17th birthday. You kids just don't know how good you've got it now!" Did you seriously expect sympathy for this?

I'm almost 21 and STILL don't have my first car! I normally have issues with calling people out on 'birthday' FMLs, but I will have to agree, you're pretty damned spoiled if you're 17, already HAVE a car, and are asking for another one.

No one cares about this comment. I'm confused as to why you "spilled" these beans.

wow, you know you sound just as spoiled. I'm 18, go to college full time, and work my ass off at my crappy paying job, and still drive my parents mini-van. I've been saving up for a car for 2 years and still can't afford a decent car. and you are complaining about being 17 and driving your parents jaguar. omg, stfu! my dad is still a control freak with the car i drive, unless i ask my mom to go somewhere, i basically can only use the car to go to school and work. so stfu!

Good job, you sound like a bitchy little brat. No one cares if daddy lets your spoiled ass drive his nice car. You had to throw in that the car is a jaguar? Or that daddy's got a porsche in the garage? Were you hoping people would be jealous? Instead, you come off as a spoiled, loathesome little ****.

@Intoxicunt: Haha, yes, I am. But that doesn't mean I'm a rice-a-roni. I like 90's import tuners and old school muscle. :] (posted as a normal comment because the reply system is alllll ****** up tonight)

Old school muscle, FTW.
