Today, for my birthday, my friends and family gave me: A Wii Fit, a free year at the gym and a book of diet recipes. They didn't consult with each other. I've asked for "something corresponding to me". FML

Dude, where's my car?
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, I received a box in the mail from my mom which I assumed was a care package. It was a scale to encourage me to lose weight. FML

Today, my parents threw out the beautiful birthday cake my aunt made me, and served celery sticks at my party because I need to "watch my weight." FML

Today, I gave my wife a birthday present. For months she'd been talking about an expensive treadmill that she wanted, so I bought it. Her reaction when she saw it was to yell, "YOU THINK I'M FAT!" and burst into tears. FML

Give her a book on how to be a good friend.

Sounds like they are being a bit heavy-handed about their message.

My dad bought one for my mom on valentine's day. To this day he doesn't know what he did wrong- he just says, "What?! She wanted to lose weight! It was the perfect gift!" Although now he mostly sticks to gift cards (my suggestion).

It's funny, when smoking was very popular and if you let your friend know that they should quit they replied, "it's perfectly healthy! It's okay!" Now it's the same with obesity and being over weight. This should be a wake up call, save yourself now before it's too late.

What a great idea for a present! It's always handy to have some extra toilet paper ;)

I suggest you get your "friend" a book, as well. One titled "How to Not be a Shitty Person."
