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

Sick ride, dude
Today, my parents said that they bought me a car. I had been begging for one for a year and they always said that I would have to pay for it myself. I got really excited and went to the garage to see my new ride. It was a Hot Wheels car with a note saying, "Save your money". FML

Keep on trucking
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

Dude, where's my car?
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, 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, 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, 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

Lower your expectations
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's my sixteenth birthday. The only gift I got was a bill from my parents. Apparently, the rent is due on the 1st. FML

quit expecting everything to be handed to you. A lot of people don't get cars for their 16th birthday. A lot of people don't get their first car until after college and it's a piece of shit.

Ahaha... My parents did this to me too. But only because I (jokingly) said a new car when they asked what I wanted.

man so many people saying YDI just because THEY didn't get a car for their 16th birthday. I didn't get one either but I believe a broken promise is a serious matter, especially when she promised you so much.

It feels so much better to earn it. I remember when my mom tried to give me a TV for my birthday, because my old one was from the late 80's, and was almost dead. I said that I didn't want it, and that I wanted to save up for one myself (even though the TV she was going to buy was pretty cheap). And now, I'm stealing the PS3 almost every night so I can use it on my awesome TV! And it's even more awesome since I EARNED IT.

when i was 16 i got a job and didnt have a car so what? just have to get rides take the bus or get a job close so you can walk to it. my parents expect me to buy a car so 17 got a job get rides to and from and saving my money. and too bad you have a horrible sense of humor. my dad said the same thing. i can have any car i want as long as its a matchbox and i thought that was clever
