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

Today, was my birthday. I asked for a camera - nothing fancy, just a basic digital camera. My mother bought my brother a fancy digital camera, with all the accessories, for over £200. She then gave me his old, analogue camera, that I can't get film for anymore. He hates taking photos. FML

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. 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, 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, 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, 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

Today, I walk out of my apartment to find that my car is decorated with explicit drawings and "Happy 21st birthday" stuff written all over it. To top it off, my vehicle is completely wrapped in plastic wrap. I'm 22 and my birthday is in December. FML

Wahhhhhh. So let me guess, your parents have already bought you a car last year and you want another one? Do you really think money grows on trees? Buy your own car, mooch.

You sound spoilt. You're 17 and own a car, you should be happy enough.

Heh... when I was 17 I bought my own first car (that drove), and I had to rebuild the motor to boot. If you think your car sucks, try living without one.

Whine much? Maybe if you communicated with your parents so they knew what interested you, or showed appreciation for the car you have, you would have gotten a nice present.

When I was 17 I drove a 1974 Opel Manta. It exploded, so I bartered rides to work with people until I saved up to buy myself a second car. CRY MOAR, SPOILED TWIT.

Maybe it was a subtle hint of your parents to stop mooching off them for everything and that you should learn to do something that will earn you the money to buy a car. You're seventeen and you OWN YOUR OWN CAR. Some people will never own a car you stupid ******* brat.

Get over yourself. I'm almost nineteen and I don't see a car anywhere in my near future. You'd be lucky if your parents let you borrow the crappiest car in the world, yet you own your own car.
