Today, I celebrated my birthday. When asked last week, I said I wanted a keyboard. When I opened the present, my parents went into hysterics. It was an electronic Dora the Explorer keyboard. I've been studying music composition and theory for six years. They think my major's a joke. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had dinner with my family in celebration of my 19th Birthday. I've been hinting that I need a new laptop for months now and I was sure my family had bought me one. I have got a pair of slipper socks. FML
Today, the whole family came over to celebrate my 18th birthday. My grandfather bought me a giant mathematics book. Apparently, he didn't want my 16 year old sister to be "jealous", so he got her the new iPad. FML
Today, was my 16th birthday. Needless to say, I was delighted when my friends presented me with a birthday card in a homeroom. I pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Aw, you guys really shouldn't have!" They didn't. It was our teacher's birthday. They just wanted me to sign the card. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I got a graphing calculator and my period. FML
Today, my extremely loud and nocturnal flatmate phoned me to tell me excitedly that he got an accordion for his birthday. FML
Today, my parents bought my 11-year-old brother a MacBook for my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. 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 got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
Today, my parents gave me my birthday present. Two weeks ago, I'd ordered an Xbox online. Three days ago, it came to my house, and my parents thought they could save money by putting wrapping paper on it, and giving it to me for my birthday. That's all they got me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd just yell "f**k you!" and then frisbee throw it at their faces.

Practice it at 2am outside their bedroom door. Then see who's laughing.

Hahaha, university procrastinating from real life. Have fun being a cab driver while other people make medical breakthroughs after about a decade of procrastinating.

You didn't specify, you'd think a musician would have quite a list of demands with regards to their instrument. Besides, after 6 years of music composition this is the first time you're going to own a keyboard? Maybe you're doing the wrong study lol.

They didn't say that it was their first time owning a keyboard. They could have just wanted another one, for portability, contrast of sound, whatever.

it sort of is a joke... at least it'd better than a degree in art appreciation.

dude the major is a joke. I compose music that isn't half bad with only a guitar, a hand-me down keyboard and audacity (sound editing program

It's probably pretty bad but you just have to much of an ego to realize it

My parents once did this same sort of thing to me. I'm a film major and they bought me a clapper board.....but it was purely decorational.
