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!

I would have thought it was funny, but in the first place, my dad would never ever ever buy me a car.

It is funny...I wasn't mad at all. I knew he was looking at getting a new toy, but my drunk mind decided against all logic at the time. It was just bad timing lol

I did think it was funny...wasn't mad at all and I think that's what people are assuming, that I was actually mad at my dad b/c it wasn't mine. Oh well if people can't think that its funny, then they have no sense of humor.

Assumption is the mother of all ****-ups. And birthday disappointments, apparently. Your dad's a gun! Baha!

MukyDaCookie you're an idiot. I own an Audi S4 and I know for a fact a Corvette is a better car. The new ZR-1 has a faster Nurburgring time than the Ferrari Enzo, so don't say it's "like" a Ferrari. It's better than one. Well, not the base model and probably not the 2002 base model, but at least the ZR-1. The Z06 is probably on-par with an F430 but don't hold me to it. Don't make unsubstantiated claims.

um4m3d when did I ever say anything about it being "like" a Ferrari? I said it doesn't compare to one. The F430 is how old? And the Z06 is the most recent modle im guessing? The Ferrari was just an example, maybe ONE part of the car is better but the overall performance and specs are much higher. Audi S4 is a street car. Corvette is a sports car, why don't you compare a tricyle to a racing bike next time? Try next time, not to start with your arguement with an insult it makes you look bad. You idiot

The F430 has been out for about 5 years now, maybe less. It's still a produced model. The first ZR-1 came out in 1978, and the Z06 is the model down from the ZR-1. The Audi S4 is a very competent car in motorsport, but I know it couldn't hold up to a ZR-1, I'm not that cocky. The Corvette ZR-1 has THE fastest production car time around the ring, behind the Dodge Viper. The ZR-1 is also 11x cheaper than the Ferrari. There is a lot to compare since they all have 4 wheels =). The Enzo is supposedly the "best" production car Ferrari can come out with at 1.2M dollars. I'm not particularly fond of American Cars either, but you can't deny the facts. And I was only mentioning my Audi because you said that "Audi, BMW and Mercedes are better." The ZR-1 is also faster than the BMW M3, Mercedes SLR McLaren, and Audi R8, all of the brand's respective top-end sports cars. Sorry to start it with an insult, but again, only the facts. Btw, the joke was really funny, I'd be mad at a parent that pulled something as sly as this, too.
