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.

Are you ******* kiddin me? A new car at 17? I am 15 years old. I do have my first car already.. why? because my grandfather died and his car was left in the will for me. The car barely runs, the paint job sucks, and it's older than my father. Am I bitching? No.. I'm not ungrateful like this bastard. I was lucky to get my car and if I hadn't I don't believe I would be going to get my permit next month.

I'm 21 and trying to find anywhere that will higher me so i can save enough money to by a shitty ass 500 dollar car, so i can go visit my girlfriend instead of her have to take the bus to come see me. stop whining because you didn't get a "newer car" for you birthday. get the money your-*******-self if you want it so bad.

What's with all the "It's my birthday and I didn't get a car/computer/unicorn with a lasercannon instead of a horn" FMLs lately? OP... Really? REALLY?

oh i'm sorry! you didn't get a new car after you got tired of your old one! and after a full year of having one! stop complaining. the only way i would have been able to even get a truck from the 80's would have been to pay for insurance by myself. be happy you have a car and stop being such a spoiled little bitch.

YDI. I NEVER got a car as a gift. I paid with my OWN MONEY for my first car, and it was a POS '88 Chevy Corsica. It was $700. Get a job and get your own damn car.

first off, be thankful that you even have a car and stfu about that. But the part about getting such a shitty present and that you don't even have a camera does suck.....maybe they were trying to teach you a lesson to be thankful and that you don't get shitty presents like that......my family does that shit to me all the time, for no reason..............answer to your tiny hardly problem: sell the book...or get a camera.
