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?

Be thankful and appreciate the fact that you at least got a damn car.

I hope your mom was alright, and hey, at least you still have the car. It just has to be fixed up a bit. =)

So, you got a car at the age of SIXTEEN. It gets a bit damaged. So what do you do? You go on the internet and complain about it! Typical, rude, unappreciative, spoiled, idiotic, worthless, American BRAT. I see failure in your future if this is how you respond to such a magnificent birthday gift.

You bloody legend! Sick of Americans complaining about not getting cars etc on 16th birthdays, stop living in fantasy and face the real world...

It's not merely Americans who are overprivileged, whiny twats.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an American citizen. But I am a realist, and understand that some with no foreign culture tend to act like the idiot who wrote this FML. Now, my parents and grandparents and so forth are from the USSR; but I was born in San Francisco and raised with Russian culture and discipline. My grandfather was a hardworking chemical engineer who got his first car in America at the age of 45. He did not complain once. Same with my father, who got his car at age 22 after leaving the boat and working his ass off for two years. I am now 16; no car. Was I bit disappointed? Of course, but that was just an incentive to get a job and work for a car. Now this lazy bastard is causing a fuss over a PERFECTLY DRIVABLE car that has some damage to it. I would have gladly taken anything from an off-the-line BMW or an old pickup that got hit by a train. All the same to me.

I got a car for my 16th too...it was a real nice Hot Wheels Corvette. Then I later got 14 Trans Ams. Gotta love the Matchbox and Hot Wheels dealership :)

You get a new car on your 16th birthday and your life sucks? Champagne problem much?

Really, you got a car and it's now wrecked? How is this an FML? It can be fixed, so can the garage. I got New Moon, Eclipse and a half-eaten bag of gummy bears for my birthday. I don't even like Twilight. >.< Spoiled brats these days....

I think you can make an exception on "It's the thought that counts".
