Today, my dad got me a GPS for my birthday. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't have a permit or a car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I opened my Christmas present from my parents. I got a road-side assistance package. I don't own a vehicle, and I don't even have a driver's license. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My dad came to pick me up, but after I had put my backpack in the back seat and closed the car door, he drove off without me. It started to rain, and I was without my phone or wallet. FML

Happy Father's Day
Today, my mom said I was not allowed to spend Father's Day with my dad. When I tried to point out that I'm 24 years-old and she couldn't stop me, she disabled my car. I don't trust rideshare. FML

Today, my neighbour casually mentioned that he sold my car's GPS that I'd let him borrow. He figured I wouldn't be needing it anymore since I lost my license. FML

Today, it was my birthday. The only person who remembered was my dad who got me a phone charger for my car, which I didn't even need because he got me the same exact thing last year. FML

Today, for my 18th birthday, my parents gave me a Spotify Car Thing. Not only do I not own a car, I won't be able to afford one before this crap tech gadget turns into a useless brick. FML

Today, my wife got me a car for my birthday. It's a nice one but I soon realized it's a trap: I have to take her everywhere, or she tells me she can take it back anytime. So much for a gift. FML

Maybe it's a two part gift?

Attach it to your bicycle. You never know when you might need it.

can you use them without a car? I could have used one before Google maps and I don't have a car either :-D

Use the GPS to find your real gift.

Maybe he bought it so you could spend time together hiking or going for nature walks? He might have wanted to bond with you rather than buying a gift for you to be selfish about.

Maybe that's his way of giving you a hint of a future gift...? If not, at least you got something

Maybe he'll borrow it until you can drive. Too bad you're too young to drink that keg of beer he also bought you. He'll probably help you out with that, too.

Use it when you're sitting in the back seat and he's driving you around, to provide recommendations on optimal route. He might get so annoyed and utter the magic words: "IF YOU KNOW SO MUCH, I'LL GET YOU A DAMN CAR. JUST SHUT IT ALREADY!". And voilà! Your true gift materializes.

Yeah. And say hi to Alice while you're in wonderland.

I did, but she didn't reciprocate her salutations to you.

You don't happen to be Jewish, do you? If so, that's a pretty good sign. If not, trick your bike out

Well... Do you have a bike?
