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

Ok, all these people are SO STUPID. I know so many people who got a car on their 16th birthdays. It's not even funny how many people get that. So OBVIOUSLY they're jealous/angry for some reason. I understand a gym membership is offensive but I'm sure they meant it in a caring way. Like if sometimes you say "I feel so fat" or "I wish I was more toned"... Then they'd think GYM MEMBERSHIP as a perfect gift. My mom randomly decided to get me a gym membership, I weigh 103, but I want to be TONED and gain weight so it was NICE of her to get me that. I could take it as "you think I'm scrawny" but instead I think of it as something caring. Don't be so down! The gym is really fun and I'm sure you'll meet/talk to a lot of cool people.

No, people are outraged at how cheeky OP is to be expecting something as big as a car for their birthday. I, for one, am far from jealous. I'm actually glad that my parents don't molly-coddle me to the point of paying for a car when I should be out there earning money and getting life experience in the process. I doubt any of these people are jealous. They're just pissed off at how bratty some people are.

I'm 16. I hope for a car and i work my *** off to get one and soon when i collect enough money, I will. in my last 16 birthday my parent gave me nothing. not because we are poor or anything like that they just bought pizza and we ate that's it. And you know what? i don't WINE about it like a WHINY PIG so i didnt got what I was hoping for, big deal. P.S gym is great spatially if you are an overweight person like i was long time ago.

I got a car on my 16th birthday and I still think this person is a spoiled wanker for expecting one.

I can't believe you were expecting a car. And Hell, I'd be happy for the gym membership. I have to pay for those and they're expensive as hell. That's a good gift, though it is a little depressing to think that your parents think you're fat. Anyways, don't complain man...

On my 16th birthday, I didn't expect anything, and got a video game. Spent the rest of the day getting ignored by my brother and his fiancee. So stfu.
