Today, I unwrapped my present and, to my surprise, I had gotten a repair manual for my truck. Apparently, my parents are "Tired of seeing that piece of shit in front of our house." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I opened my Christmas present from my parents. I got a road-side assistance package. I don't own a vehicle, and I don't even have a driver's license. FML
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
Today, six days before I turn 18, my mom totaled her nice BMW. She had promised it to me as a birthday present. My step-dad is giving me his old rusty truck instead, so now I can look like a hick. 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, 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 a truck. It's a little beat up, but I got a pretty good deal because of it… Or so I thought. Turns out there's a Nickelback CD stuck in the player. And the radio is spotty. I can't help but think that had something to do with it. FML
Today, I saw my neighbor's Christmas tree they had put up on their porch, with decorative presents under it. Being that my neighbors hate me, I figured I would take a present to piss them off. While walking back home with the present, I opened it. Inside it read "I knew you would, douche bag." FML
Today, my dad is mad at me because I refused to buy a truck. An ugly old Isuzu with two flat tires and a missing headlight, and the owner said it needed a new transmission & brakes, but still wanted $8000. Apparently, without consulting me, Dad promised him I'd buy it as payment for guns he bought. Now he's in debt. 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, 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?

How dare YOU diss Optimus Prime! Referring to him as "that piece of shit".

The war has officially begun...

In that case, I don't blame the parents. I wouldn't want an 18 wheeler in front of my house either.

You're old enough to have a truck sooo, move it or move out... In case the Christmas present wasn't enough of a hint.

haha they are just looking out for me. I've been wanting to fix it for a while
gracehi 33
They're saving you thousands of dollars in auto shop repairs... Or has your truck degenerated into a literal piece of shit? In that case, the best thing to solve that problem would be a shovel.

A new(old) truck might have been a better gift

So much for being subtle about it.
howdeedoo 22
No one said that they were trying to be subtle. My guess is that they were trying to make it NOT subtle
emeraldisle 30
No shit. I was being sarcastic. OP's parents are being the complete opposite of subtle.

Subtle like a sledge hammer through a glass window...

Then fix it. You don't want to be the neighbors with the truck on cinder blocks.

Looks like it's time to call MTV and get 'em to pimp your ride. (do they still air that show?)
meow_jess 11
It ended a while ago.
Feverrotes 15
Cool, thanks for the info. I stopped watching MTV whenever they started airing Jersey Shore.

I live across the street. I chipped in for the repair manual. Them ******* ain't cheap !! So fix the ****** thing before i have towed away !!
cosmosis 12
Who are you to tow a vehicle away off someone elses property? ... Thats the "stewpidest" thing ive ever heard.
Needafarm 22
Really OP. You are complaining about them giving you an opportunity to fix it before they have it towed. You are seriously hurting not only their house resale value, but the whole neighborhoods. FFS, it's in the front yard.

How is OP's truck hurting everybody's resale value?

The quality of vehicles in the neighborhood affects peoples impressions when coming to look at a house. Rusted out Chevys on blocks in the driveway give the impression of a lower income area, which are known to have statistically higher crime rates and more domestic abuse calls (lousy neighbors)

No one is not going to buy a house because there is an ugly ass car 8 houses down. Don't be morons

36 wait till you get to the real world.

The real world? I help my parents out with real estate, the only people who would give a shit for something so insignificant are Asians, and they only nitpick about ridiculous superstitious garbage

If you have two men wrestling together in leotards you might be a closeted ****.

Unless this so called manual is titled: Automotive fiberglass, plate steel welding repair, and painting for Idiots, you're screwed. Just because it is cosmetically ugly, doesn't necessarily mean it isn't mechanically sound.
