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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. 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
Paperweight
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, I got a parking ticket in the mail. I don't have a car. FML
My forever home
Today, my father gave me the best birthday gift, a piece of real estate. I got a grave, which is leased. FML
Designated driver
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.

Meh, use it for a bike maybe? And how old are you that you don't have a permit or licence yet? If you're too young than okay, FYL I guess. But if you are well over old enough to be driving and are just being lazy YDI :P

They have walking modes on most models, and typically lots of business listings. It's a tremendously useful device regardless of whether you have a car.

To everyone telling OP to get a car and asking why he/she doesn't own one yet, have you priced cars lately? They're not cheap, even used ones. Or if they are cheap, there's probably a reason why, usually a bad one. I'm 26 and just got my first car ever this June. I was lucky to find a 7-year-old car with less than 40,000 miles on it at a halfway decent price. But yeah, just because OP doesn't have a car doesn't mean he/she is being lazy. It's probably financial reasons preventing the investment.

Exactly! I got my license and first car at 23. Why? Money! Not because I am lazy. License , insurance, car, it's all too pricy.

Maybe your dad thought you need some "direction" in life ;)

Driving isn't the only reason to own a GPS.. A GPS can also be useful if you're into hiking and exploring and such. Also, smartphones often come with some kind of map or GPS-like app, and that doesn't necessarily mean the owner of the phone has a car..

But as I said, a GPS can also be used for hiking, etc. Not necessarily only for cars.

You can walk with it, or you can attach it to your bicycle. No problem.
