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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

:-) 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!

YDI. Asking your parents to work their asses off to get you a car . . . In the words of you wise parents: "save your money"

What a spoiled little brat you are for expecting your parents just to buy you a new car. Show some respect, and work for it on your own. Lazy-ass idiot, you deserve that one.

That's just plain cruel.

HAHAHAHAHHA! I always joke around with my cousin, telling her I'll get her a car and then asking if she liked Hess or Hot Wheels better. By the way, I LOVE Hot Wheels cars. My brothers would get them all the time while I got dolls and tea sets (because I'm a girl, clearly), but I hated dolls and played with their cars.

Considering that even animals can learn "no", that you would have learnt what "save your money yourself" means by a year! I mean... really? Is this rocket science? Your parents say no, and like a braindead zombie you go "can i have a car? can I? dauhhhh can I?" NO YOU F*CKING CANT! u got wat u deserved for bein dumb, sorry 2 say

Haha that's a really good one from the parents' side of it. But shit, if my parents told me they just bought me a car and it ended up being a Hot Wheels car, I'd be pretty ******* disappointed, too, so sorry. I think the point of it is that the parent's got his/her hopes us and just... damn that'd suck. Haha

That's hilariously cruel. It was a bit rude to get your hopes up, but whining about a car isn't going to give your parents the money to buy you one.
