Today, it was my birthday. My parents got me a box of cupcakes. My brother got me a deck of cards. My aunt got me a brochure on how to quit smoking. I have diabetes, I don't play cards, and I don't smoke. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I received two cards, one from my mum and one from my son, that my mum gave to him to give to me. My entire family said they couldn't be bothered going out for dinner for my birthday. My two 'friends' didn't even send a card, never mind a gift or want to meet up. FML
Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML
Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML
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
Today, it's my birthday. The only thing I got was a coupon for a couples acupuncture session from my sister. I'm single and have an extreme fear of needles. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, my parents gave me fat burner pills for my birthday. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday, I celebrated it by cooking my favourite meal for my parents and sister, while they watched TV and house-hunted for my sister. I have yet to hear a happy birthday, receive a card, a present or a phone call. Oh, and my parents are on a diet, so they complained my cooking wasn’t "on their plan." FML
Today, it was both my and my stepmother's birthday. In preparation, my dad bought a huge banner with my stepmother's name on it, and a lovely birthday cake. When I told him it was also my birthday, he just grunted and taped a post-it note to the banner with my name on it. Same with the cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

77, you seem to have some annoying need to get the last word. Plus your grammar is a mess, making you a fail grammar Nazi

lol I guess 77 can correct people and then freak out when he/she (unsure?) gets corrected.

Maybe your brother thought you would like to start playing cards. Maybe he likes card games and thinks that you could play together.

Fight that Type 1/2 Diabetes with more sugar in your blood! Spite them by peeing sweetness... Then use it as a secret ingredient...
Mads_1234 28
Well, it really sucks to have a high blood sugar. You feel like you're shaky, sweaty, dizzy, and just sick in general. I feel for you OP :( (I'm a type 1 diabetic)

1: Eat them on occasion. 2: Try it, you may have a new hobby. 3: Give it to a friend who smokes. Yea, yea I know, bad attempt. Troll me if you must. -___-

16 ^win 10 good attempt and I agree with all the points there.
letmeinplease 0
I don't know why 10 got voted down so much. She COULD learn to enjoy cards, and if her aunt thught that she smoked, that's a caring gesture. FYL on the cakes OP though, that just is careless.

Not really...unless they've only very recently been diagnosed, they should know fully well that they can easily work a cupcake into their diet with no repercussions whatsoever. It's usually not recommended for the first few months, but once you've got everything figured out, you can eat just about anything so long as you account for it.
