Today, it's my 17th birthday. I asked for a newer car because my car right now sucks. I got a book on photography. I don't own a camera. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, was my birthday. I asked for a camera - nothing fancy, just a basic digital camera. My mother bought my brother a fancy digital camera, with all the accessories, for over £200. She then gave me his old, analogue camera, that I can't get film for anymore. He hates taking photos. 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, 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, it's my sixteenth birthday and my mom promised me she'd buy me a car. She came home with a toy lego car. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. I was hoping to get a car. Instead, my parents got me a three month membership at the gym so I can lose weight. FML
Today, it's my 26th birthday. My girlfriend gave me a matchbox car, a glow necklace, and a squirt gun. For her birthday, I bought her a new dress, rented a limo, and took her around to bar hop with her friends. 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, is my brothers 16th birthday. He got keys to the Lexus. I'm 18, have no car, and got pajama pants and chapstick for my birthday. FML
Today, six days before I turn 18, my mom totaled her nice BMW. She had promised it to me as a birthday present. My step-dad is giving me his old rusty truck instead, so now I can look like a hick. 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

Wahhhhhh. So let me guess, your parents have already bought you a car last year and you want another one? Do you really think money grows on trees? Buy your own car, mooch.

You sound spoilt. You're 17 and own a car, you should be happy enough.

Cry about it you greedy douchebag. My parents spent $4000 on a car for my sister, and it was given to me when i got my license. Never have they bought another one for me. In fact, I had to buy my own recently. Grow up.

You're a greedy, self-centered wanker. Get a job and buy your own car instead of expecting your parents to suck your dick and wipe your arse for you.

You're 17. You don't need a new car. If you want a new one so badly, ******* go buy your own.

Oh, I know what you are going through. I still suffer trauma to this day because of the catastrophe my parents unleashed on me for my 17th birthday. I had asked them to upgrade my yacht to a 70-footer because I had SO outgrown my 50-footer. How can a 17-year-old with any class show his face in a decent marina with such a puny dinghy? So, what did those ruffians do to me? The gave me a Porsche! How common and plebian! They would have had to have coughed up at least a Lamborghini to keep me from becoming the laughingstock of my prep school. So, yes, I understand the shame and debasement of poverty. On the bright side, maybe your parents bought you that book so you can "picture" a new car, and "expose" yourself to the world of work, and "focus" on saving money, instead of squandering in on hookers and beer (or is that investing?) and "f-stop" whining and "shutter" up your spoiled little piehole.

That sounds exceedingly tragic. Absolutely EVERYBODY has at least a private jet. And all my parents gave me was my fifth car. Why do they hate me so!?!?!!? :P Your comments are always made of WIN ^_^

Oh, poor Plexico! Try acquiring sleeping pills so you don't lie awake at night haunted by the vision of the Porsche sitting in the driveway. Nobody should have to suffer such a horrible fate. You should have tried for emancipation right then from those people you call "parents".
