Today, I was woken up by my family surrounding me with breakfast in bed and "Sweet 16" balloons. My birthday is in 3 months, and I'll be 17. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my 18th birthday. Last month was my best friend's 18th birthday. She spent the night with me, and the next morning, my mom and brother gathered in my room and sang "Happy Birthday" as they handed her pancakes with a candle on top. Today, I was woken up by screams to take the trash out. FML
Today, I woke up to find my parents singing "Happy birthday" with lots of hugs and kisses. My birthday is next week. FML
Today, I turned 17. My parents completely forgot it was my birthday, and when I reminded them, my dad thought it was my 18th. He was ecstatic and mentioned that I can "finally get the hell out." 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, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML
Today, I turned eighteen. Thinking I was going to get a big present from my parents on this special day, I eagerly unwrapped my present. They got me a bag of M and M's. Last year I got flannel bed sheets. FML
Today, I woke up to balloons, streamers, and my roommates yelling “SURPRISE!” Unfortunately, they got the wrong day. My birthday is next week, and now I'll probably have to pretend to be surprised again in seven days. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. It's also it is the day my parents scheduled my wisdom teeth to be pulled out. Happy birthday to me, then. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My family put a bouquet of balloons outside my room for me to find when I woke up. I walked out of my room, saw the balloons, screamed, and fell down the stairs. FML
Today, it was my 17th birthday. My mom forgot and my best friend is out of town. The highlight of my day? The guy at McDonald's slipped an extra apple pie in my bag. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You'd think your mom would remember the day you were pushed painfully out her genitals... I guess not. FYL anyways

Don't worry OP, this time next year you'll get your 17th birthday celebration, and so on. It's just a tad late, that's all.

Technically speaking, time machines will never be invented. B/c if someone invents one they'd just travel back in time and teach people from an earlier time the ways of advanced technology.

You should take advantage of this OP. Make them feel really guilty about not knowing when your birthday is and not knowing how old you are. Whine about it everyday. In three months, they'll be so sick of your whining and so ashamed that they forgot that they'll double the amount of gifts! Edit: oh ****, this wasn't supposed to be up here :( Sorry for threadjacking boners :( *throws in random comment about time machines*

wow 23 you're a goddamn moron...they are just 6 hours ahead it doesnt add up to be 3 months ahead are you insane? months are always constant everywhere unless it's the 31st somewhere and 1st somewhere else. 12 you were right sorry every1lovesboners has no time or reality sense.

What are you talking about #53? He never said anything about hours. He just said that live in the moment and they might forget in three months.

57, read your comment again, very slow, and then search, very slow for #35 anywhere in the thread. look harder before posting replies. And congrats on writing a non sexual comment... although definitely less entertaining.

#34: no... they'd travel back in time and be burnt as witches. could have happened a million times.
muchagente 5
74: there was a 35 here before, the moderators obviously have deleted it. just check again for something or another, very slowly, and keep posting insulting replies. or not. or whatever.

why would they think its october?
Acousticpixie14 6
Umm...April is in three months...not October....
Acousticpixie14 6
Ahhhh...well I hadn't heard of that, my apologies. How is it May in France in 3 months?

dumbass?
Acousticpixie14 6
Technically, at the time you posted that, it was 11:54 pm in France, therefore it was still January. Therefore, at that moment, it would have been April in three months. Now, however, it will be May in three months. Nice attempt at trying to out-smart ass a smart ass. Better luck next time.

maronofhearts 19
why does baber need to learn to read? they were late or do you not understand the problem of getting "sweet 16" balloons for your 17th birthday in 3 months maybe they should be your parents since you're all obviously confused
prettypinkpixie 9
they were early to celebrate the birthday. they were unaware of how old the op is.
