Today, it's my birthday. My mom and three other relatives each bought me a copy of Diablo 3 for my birthday. A video game that I didn't ask for, for a console I don't have. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. 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, I got Wii Fit, Wii Mario Kart and Wii Mario Galaxy for my birthday, I don't have a Wii. FML
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
Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. FML
Today, my parents gave me my birthday present. Two weeks ago, I'd ordered an Xbox online. Three days ago, it came to my house, and my parents thought they could save money by putting wrapping paper on it, and giving it to me for my birthday. That's all they got me. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had been telling me for the past two weeks that he had something planned for the occasion. His plan? Me watching TV with his parents, who hate me, while he went to work. His gift? A brand new Xbox 360 for himself. FML
Today, I got a laptop for my birthday. I was thrilled until I realized that my mom had given away my old one without asking. 6 years of games, music, and pictures down the drain. FML
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, a friend and I celebrated our birthdays together with our mutual friends. I bought them a game from their favourite series, commissioned a sketch, and chipped with others to get them various other presents. I got a mug and a hentai t-shirt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You could always sell them. Might end up with enough money to buy a game you do want.

Sounds like a hellish situation, indeed.

They must think you’re a Lucifer playing such an old game, but it’s not Satan your desire for fun! Tell them it’s like the devil except cooler and with more power.

A 6 year old game. Classy.

But couldn't you just return the gift and get a refund?

Diablo 3 is a classic.. Keep one copy with yourself, sell the other 2 and buy something off of steam wallet.. You can't really expect your relatives to know which games are in trend and as per your liking :)

you can absolutely expect your relatives, or at least your mom, to put a minimal amount of thought or research into what you might like. they could easily, oh, I don't know, ASK you what you like

I'm not saying they shouldn't appreciate getting a gift period, but still. all of them getting the same gift? that better be some kind of joke. Follow up?

Not everyone can just "buy the console"

Not to point directly at OP here, but this is evident of a much larger issue. Birthday gifting, something that originally started as a way of pleasantly surprising a loved one with a gesture of appreciation, has evolved into a sense of entitlement, getting exactly whatever inconsequential consumer goods you want and providing another excuse for decadence and corporate appeasement...
