Today, it was my brother's birthday. I was short on money but got him a present anyway. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "I didn't really want this." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, it was sister’s birthday. I decided to give her money instead of a present, because I couldn’t come up with a gift idea. When she opened the envelope and took the $100 out, she looked at me and asked me if this was the best I could’ve done. FML
Today, I turned 22, without anyone wishing me a happy birthday. In fact, the only phone call I received all day was from my brother. He wanted to borrow money. FML
Today, my 6-year-old nephew opened his Christmas gift. The first words out of his mouth were, "This is cheap." FML
Today, my brother mentioned my dad's birthday party. I said, "What party?" He said, "Shit, forgot I wasn't supposed to tell you." My own father doesn't want me at his party. FML
Today, I carefully wrapped my nephew's birthday present so it would look perfect. He thanked me, pushed it aside, and spent the next two hours pretending the empty cardboard box was a spaceship. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML
Today, my younger brother decided it would be fun to slam a door on my hand while I was holding my brand new $200 cell phone that I got for my birthday. Nothing says Happy Birthday like a broken phone to go along with a broken hand. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, I bought my son a nice car for his 18th birthday. When I gave it to him, he just got mad and told me that if I really wanted to spend that much money on him, I should've used it to help him pay for college. FML
Today, my brother finally paid me the $60 he owed me. I later found out that he'd stolen those $60 from my wallet. FML

A wee bit rude of him. I'd have just grabbed it out of his ungrateful hands and either given it to someone else or taken it back if you can.

Thats kind of rude. Even if you don't like a present act pleased with it and then later talk to the gift giver about it and either let them save their money or exchange it for something they do like. It'll still hurt their feelings but in the end they are getting something they'd appreciate more etc.

Ungrateful brat! A gift is something freely given and freely recieved, NOT something you can demand!

I was always taught you thank someone and pretend you like a gift even if it's something you hate because they at least cared enough to get you something that's something to be thankful for alone sorry your brother did that OP

Wow, so ungrateful.

I see he's learned how to be grateful. Even if it's something small, he should at least show some gratitude and say "Thank you".

That's what happens when your raised in a selfish consumer society you expect to get what you want and when you don't you don't know how to react.....MERICA
