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!

Bummer. I lived the other side of the coin. When I turned 21, I got a new 2000 black/black C5 with 6spd, Z51, HUD, polished rims, both tops and sport seats. Loved it, and it was "paid" to me in lieu of my working for two years for my dad without pay while making him able to retire. Joke's on me. I had it three years and it spent 9 out of the final 18 months parked or at the shop waiting for warranty problems to be repaired. In the end, the right rear rotor cracked and seized the wheel, spinning me into a telephone pole at 40mph wrecking the car and putting me into 9 months of rehab. FML LOL

I would take it. He said quit drooling on it. Doesn't mean you can't take it for a spin. Who knows? Maybe it will explode in some bizarre "accident".

... Why would you get a car for your birthday? Cars are big and expensive.

Hahahaha #108. Why can't a person want a car? Everyone WANTS stuff. Anyway, I think your dad is hilarious for doing that. :P

#88 is that a joke? Corvettes can't touch a BMW 7 series. They are so much more practical, sound so amazing, you hear the power, but without the whine of a dying animal. You can actualy use the back seats, and no car enthusiast see's a corvette and says "Yeah, this person has my respect" Thier handling is considered the best in the world, they are leading the technological curve and have that understated, sleek look. Don't ever tell me Corvette is better than a BMW. Agree with #89, like I said in my first post, Corvettes are for middle aged men trying to look young or 'hip'. OP don't let theese idiots worry you. They can't see the real FML and are just angry becasue thier parents sent them to boarding school so they can be free of them. To clarify for everyone who doesn't understand. The FML, as has been stated 5 times already, is that it was the OP's birthday and they found a (nice?) car in the garage. Nowhere does the OP say they deserved that car, but would you not be excited to find a sports car in your garage on your birthday? Is it not a crushing moment when you find the note which destroys your spirits? Take some time to think before you comment.
