Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML
Today, I stepped out of a bar in order to make a phone call. While I was outside, the bouncers arrived and ropes were put up. They wouldn't let me back in, claiming I was too young and they hadn't seen me come out. I was celebrating my 26th birthday, the legal drinking age is 18. I also have a beard. FML
Today, to celebrate my older sister's 21st birthday, my parents forced me to take the night off work so we could all go to the casino. Not only is this coming out of my vacation, I wasn't old enough to enter the casino, so I had to sit in the car. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. My parents' gift was a case of non-alcoholic beer, to "prepare" me for when I "turn 21." My parents can't even remember how old I am. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I waited in line to get into a club with my girlfriend, the bouncer only let her in, she told me to call her if I needed anything and left me. We were supposed to celebrate my birthday. FML
Today, I went to a bar to celebrate my 26th birthday. I got ripped off by the bartender all night because she secretly gave me non-alcoholic versions of my drinks. Apparently I look like I'm 16, so she thought my ID was fake. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. The only person who drank with me was my elementary school principal, who I happened to run into at a bar where we were the only two people there. FML
Today, I ordered a beer with my parents at dinner. The waitress said, "Oh, happy 22nd birthday." My parents eyes got really big, and they started to blush. They'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML

Now you go on a crazy adventure and almost lose your baby brother trying to make it to the party this totally dreamy guy you like is supposed to be at.

You're never to old to be shanghai'ed into being your parents' no-cost babysitter.

If the little brother is old enough that they thought he might be allowed in a bar (~18-20), then he's old enough to leave at home. If he's too young to reasonably expect he might get in, they shouldn't have brought him in the first place. Either way, bringing the little brother was a mistake.

Why not go to a bar/restaurant where a minor would be allowed. I know some bars allow minors in when accompanied, but under 21 gets booted at 9 in most spots. Screw them. Go out with friends or even solo and suck down the free birthday drinks.

Why would they take your underage brother to a bar? It seems more they were desperate for a drink than to celebrate your birthday,

I can't believe you deprived your little brother of his very own Home Alone 2-style adventure!

Meh not the worst 21st birthday story I've heard. My dad got drunk BEFORE mine even started. He tripped down a set of stairs as we came out of the restaraunt and smashed his face into the ground. He was bleeding and had a concussion; yet still went to the bar with my siblings and me. The entire night we were at the bar you could hear my brother saying "dad blood" and my dad saying sorry as he dabbed his face of the blood from his wounds. And unfortunately for me he was also my ride home (due to my eyesight I can't drive at night and I lived with him at the time so....yeah)
