Today, my parents said that they bought me a car. I had been begging for one for a year and they always said that I would have to pay for it myself. I got really excited and went to the garage to see my new ride. It was a Hot Wheels car with a note saying, "Save your money". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML
Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML
Today, I bought my son a nice car for his 18th birthday. When I gave it to him, he just got mad and told me that if I really wanted to spend that much money on him, I should've used it to help him pay for college. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday and my mom promised me she'd buy me a car. She came home with a toy lego car. FML
Today, while talking to my parents about my car, my dad said, "Don't put a lot of money into it because we will give you ours when we move." I asked why, and my mom responded, "Well, we helped your sister with her wedding, so this is going to be your wedding gift." I'm getting a car out of pity for not having a wife. FML
Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML
Today, it was my 16th birthday. My surprise was a new car, that is now in the side of the garage because my mom lost control while driving it around front. FML
Today, was my 16th birthday and I was supposed to be surprised with a new car. I have overheard my parents talking about bringing it home tonight while I was at a friend's house. We snuck back to my house to see them bring my car home. All I saw was my Dad crash my new car into a street lamp. FML
Today, I bought a used car from a private dealer my parents had recommended. On my way home they called to tell me that their car broke down. They bought it last week from the same guy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

:-) That's basically what my family did to my brother, only we used a model BMW. You kind of deserve that - car's aren't toys and they are expensive to buy and worse to insure. Get a job and pay for it yourself. Best of luck!

HAHAHAHAHA My parents did that to me too! More than once. The first time I came home and I was lusting over Jeep Wranglers. I always wanted a used one too. I came home and there was one parked in our driveway with a forsale sign on it. I ran in and was like HOLY CRAP IS THAT MINE! and they laughed at me and said no and pointed a family friend out who had just bought it. The second time was my 17th and they said i MIGHT get a car for it. That car turned out to be a model car. I laughed both times. I thought it was witty and smart of my parents.

#73: You may be asking "How is the OP supposed to GET a car if they can't get to a job?" 1) Assuming the OP can walk, this person has the ability to WALK to a BUS STOP. Or ride a bike, if s/he knows how. Or take a cab (expensive, but it IS another option). 2) The OP's parents keep saying "Save your money." That implies that the OP is acquiring money SOMEHOW. Whether it's by allowance, part-time job, or any other number of reasons, the OP is acquiring money. It is the OP's duty to learn to be responsible with it instead of relying on Mommy and Daddy to work the rest of their lives to provide the OP with the things s/he wants, not needs.

You should ask underappreciated if you can have their son's car.
