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

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

You know, to all those people who say that you should buy one yourself, its more of the emotional roller coaster rather than the car itself, if he bought it a week before or ahead, fine, but like, why buy it on your child's birthday and just put them through that? I mean, I think most of you'd be typing an FML like that up if it happened to you

#145: No, I wouldn't, I'm not a presumptuous ass that thinks I deserve a $30k car handed to me because I screamed out of my mother's womb 21 years ago. Also, buying a car generally doesn't happen in one day, especially with a used car. He couldn't necessarily control when the car was ready for him. At least he left a note so she wouldn't think it was hers until he was around to tell her himself. Finally, OP sounds... choice word here... finishing the FML with "Thanks Dad" like her dad never did anything for her because he didn't buy her a Corvette. 21 and that immature and unappreciative of your parents? Really? #139: Yeah I'd be excited to get to borrow it for a drive from my parents. Because it wouldn't be my car. Birthday or not. I guess my parents are those rare types that teach personal fiscal responsibility. They paid $40k to send me to school. I used that education to get a job to fund my wants (such as a nice car). #144: Have fun wrapping it around a telephone pole. p.s. To kill ideas that I'm jealous before they start, I drive an Acura TSX. A rather enjoyable car, and one that I paid for myself.

Cars in general tend to spike all the young tender egos when comparisons come up. It's kinda funny listening to all the immature people (of any age, apparently) dishing over nonsense. There will always be someone faster, richer, stronger, more attractive. That doesn't mean any one of us is better, or better off, than any of the others. People need to relax. In the meantime... I'm in de boss office... signing your pink slipz. On the weekend, I'm in my GTS, laying strips of 335 in front of the road rage driverz.
