Today, I had a softball tournament which also landed on my birthday. My dad had to leave town for work, so he left me a card on my night stand. Instead of a happy birthday, all it said was 'Don't mess up the game for everyone'. FML

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 and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML
Today, it was my dad's birthday. As a joke, I got him one of those big erasers that say, "FOR BIG MISTAKES." He opened it, tried to erase me with it, then said, "It doesn't work." and left. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, I came home a day after my birthday, and was greeted by my mother who told me, "Oh, I have birthday present for you." She explained that she and my father went on a hike, and handed me my present. I got a fucking stick for my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML
Today, it's my birthday. I went downstairs expecting birthday greetings from my parents. Instead, they just sat on the couch saying nothing. Thinking they forgot, I casually reminded them. My mom scoffed and said, "Go do the dishes." FML
Today, it was my birthday dinner with my family. Everyone was making an effort to avoid a certain topic. Later my 5 year old cousin gives me a nice hand drawn card of me and my boyfriend. Apparently no one had the heart to tell her my boyfriend had broken up with me on my birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you're lucky, he'll stay right where he is. Away. Sorry that your dad is a prick. Unless of course he plans to call you later and say 'haha, I was joking sweety' We shall see, Mr. Prick. We shall see...

to #28, "Today" is added to every FML entry, even if you just discovered the site yesterday and decided to post something that happened to you 2 years ago. And to the poster, I'd be happy your dad wasn't actually at the game ruining it for you. FYL, but it could've been worse had he been there and then not mentioned your bday all day instead of not mentioning it in a note.

Softball is stupid. Soccer is more athletically challenging. I'm pretty sure one person couldn't lose the game for your team. And my dad never wishes me happy birthday. You'll live.

Actually, it's really easy for one person to "lose the game" for your team. Last inning and the score is tied, runners on first and third. Ball is hit to second base and the second baseman tries to get the tag out at home, although they could just step on second and the game would be over.

Softball isn't stupid! I played soccer for 7 years and gave it up for softball. No regrets.

well...you sure he wasn't just trying to be funny?? I mean, since I doubt he puts a card on your nightstand every day, he obviously remembered it was your b-day, so maybe he was just trying to pull your leg. ...it obviously worked :-)

YOU ARE NOT A LESBIAN IF YOU PLAY SOFTBALL! That's a really bad stereotype. I play softball and more than half my team had a boyfriend at some point in the season. Sure, there are lesbians that play softball. There are lesbians in every sport. Just like there are some gay guys in theater, but they aren't all gay.
