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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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 was my 23rd birthday. I didn't make it to my party because I was rear-ended on the way there by a 16-year-old in a red mustang going 50+ mph. My birthday cake landed in my lap and I was yelled at by his mother for getting chocolate icing on their insurance card. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. 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 birthday, and my kids gave me my car keys I had "lost" a week ago. 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, 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
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You sound very ungrateful. I'm sure your parents will have it fixed. Stop being a ******* drama queen, atleast you got a car. For my 16th, I got clothes I had to return to help feed my family. God, your whining pissed me off.

You think a simple FML stating what happened makes him an ungrateful drama queen? How exactly is it whining? You're an idiot.

@30 - Then go make your own FML instead of bitching about it in a comment on someone else's. A scenario affects each person differently, you have no idea how this may have impacted OP's life.

Continuing #56's comment: "...Or how it impacted the OP's house!"

30 is whining more than OP.

I agree. People don't seem to realize that there are people in this world who aren't as financially "blessed" as others. It pisses me off. But maybe thats because I know what its like to make sacrifices to help family out.

You can get a learners permit to drive at 16 here in Australia, might be similar where OP is, I just hope his/her mother isnt the one to teach him/her to drive...

Happy birthday! But at least you got a car in the first place Lolz. For my 16th birthday I got the okay to get my PERMIT. I'm in florida so I can be 15 and get it.

Quit complaining! I'd rather have a busted up car anyways... Spoiled rich kids -.-

There is no evidence to suggest OP is spoiled. One remarkable birthday present =/= spoiled. For all you know, he has to get everything by saving his own money when it isn't his birthday. Besides, I guarantee if you got a new car for your birthday and your mom crashed it, you'd complain too. But because it's somebody else, the kid is "spoiled" and should "quit complaining". *Rolls eyes*

Nothing a little elbow grease can't fix.
