Today, is my 21st birthday. I get home after my night out and walk into the garage to see a 2002 Red Corvette convertible. I run up to the car thinking its a gift and there's a note: "Dani this is not your birthday present. Quit drooling on my car. -Dad" Thanks Dad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, I walk out of my apartment to find that my car is decorated with explicit drawings and "Happy 21st birthday" stuff written all over it. To top it off, my vehicle is completely wrapped in plastic wrap. I'm 22 and my birthday is in December. 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 was having my birthday party. My dad showed up late, blind drunk, and drove his car straight through my garage door. FML
Today, my Dad sent me an e-mail wishing me a "Happy 21st Birthday, sweetheart!" The message went on and on about how much he loves and misses me and wishes we were closer, and can't believe how fast I'm growing up. I'm 23 and my birthday is in December. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Today, my Dad gave me my birthday card. The envelope was blank, as was the card, and the £0.25 price tag was still on. He was fully aware of all these things, but handed it to me and said, "By the way, I didn't write anything." Happy birthday to me. FML
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'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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would they give you such an expensive car??? Buy your own car, you're an adult!

You are all idiots! Read the post the OP made #114...it actually explains the situation better. Why are you sitting here judging this person? I could sit here and judge every single one you, but I wont because I don't know a single thing about you. Except for the fact that you're all morons for judging someone before you know the whole story. It's funny...end of it.

@ 124 Actually, the whole point of this website is to JUDGE whether someone's life is ****** or not from 300 characters or less. If you're coming on here, you are judging people. I do agree that the people who posted after 114 are annoying for not reading it, though. P.S. OP's dad is awesome.

Ahaha this is my IRL friend. And believe me she was floored for her 21st. we had gone barhopping the entire night before. As for the spoiled...she has tons of nice show horses =). I think her dad is hilarious for doing this though. It's classic.

Not getting a 2002 Corvette is NOT an FML. And I do think it is hilarious that your dad did that.

I agree with #128. This isn't a FML. When you're middle aged, you can buy one too.

I thought it was hysterical that my dad did that. I wasn't even the least bit mad. Oh and it says "fmylife your EVERYDAY life stories" Sorry that I thought it was funny and posted it. Next time I'll make sure i have a near death experience and then post it. Dicks.
