Dude, where's my car?

By not_so_sweet_sixteen - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

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

Well I don't have a car, OR membership to a gym, and I'm eighteen. I'd be happy with either.

You shouldnt have expected them to give you a car. Youd be pretty lucky if you got a car and its not as if your parents are obliged to give their 16 year old a car. Take the gym membership. Be grateful

If your parents actually made some promise to get you a car, then fyl.

YDI, you clearly wanted a car because you're lazy! Get walkin' fatty.

Wish I had a membership, need to hit the gym

Its better then nothing and it shows they are concerned about your health. Maybe next year you'll get the car.

... normally, I'd sympathize. But seriously, you expected a car? 'Expected' a CAR? I'm 23, and the most expensive thing I've ever gotten given to me in my life is a computer. Which I paid for half of... and even that was a surprise. I was appropriately grateful and shocked. Spoiled kids like you disgust me; rather than letting people hand you everything on a silver platter, why don't you get up, walk over, and earn it! Maybe you'll lose some weight in the process.

Don't be a selfish bastard... No one gets cars for their 16th birthday.

I can't believe how spoiled some kids are...my parents would never just buy me a car. You must be one of those rich kids who get everything. Where I live, you can only have a Learner's permit at 16 so having a car at this age is somewhat useless to me
