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.

Yeah, this definitely isn't an FML. The same thing happened to a few friends of mine and they thought it was hilarious. Then they saved up for their own car and didn't rely on their parents to buy them expensive things. It might be tough, but worth it in the end.

to those of you saying the people saying she is a brat are jealous they didn't get a car at 16. my dad bought me a car for my 16th but she is spoiled obviously since she is acting like her parents owe her a car she is an ungrateful brat.

today, I was being a selfish little bitch, so I asked daddy for everything I wanted for my 16th birthday, including an extremely unnecessary car, that I can't even drive yet, instead of that I got a Lego car, and I threw a hussy fit until he got me one, the end. Story of the bitch, American, spoiled girl teenager.

*sigh* 1) It was a dude who wrote this FML, not a girl. 2) He turned 16. How do you know he didn't get his license on his birthday or was going to be getting it soon? You don't know that he wouldn't be able to drive it. Also, don't generalize. Not all Americans are stupid, spoiled, or jerks. Also remember that there's probably a shit load of people from your country (if you live outside the US) here.

You... You ARE joking, right Perdix? :s And argh I hate the phrase "stick shift"! It's called a normal car over here in the UK and pretty much everywhere else in the world... People that drive automatics are people that can't drive at all.
