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

Sorry, 16-year-olds should not be getting a brand new car. The insurance is high on it for a new driver, and you are most likely going to get it dinged up. Even if your parents have the money for a new car, they should buy you a used one until you're more experienced so you do not wreck a brand new car. Stupidity at its finest.

Why dont you cry about getting a new car for your birthday...insurance will fix it, you're just going to have to wait a little bit longer...greedy ass...f your parents life for having an ungrateful child and not knowing how to drive

You're an idiot. First of all, her present was damaged by her mum, along with the house. That's grounds for saying FML. Second, they will have to pay extra due to the damaged car and garage and maybe they don't have insurance on the damn car yet. Third, the FML doesn't imply that OP is greedy or ungrateful. In conclusion, you're a ******* moron.

Ok, sure, op probably shouldn't be getting a car at 16. Why is everyone suggesting that op shouldn't complain about the fact that his/her mother fails so badly at driving?

18- I had a car given to me when I was 16 (it was a hand me down but it was still given to me) and I had a job and worked for everything else I wanted. Parents helping you out doesn't make you a lazy person. 19- Age is not the same as maturity. Some 30 year olds aren't mature. Unfortunately we can't give a maturity test before giving away a license.
