Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my birthday. My mom and three other relatives each bought me a copy of Diablo 3 for my birthday. A video game that I didn't ask for, for a console I don't have. FML
Today, my parents gave me my birthday present. Two weeks ago, I'd ordered an Xbox online. Three days ago, it came to my house, and my parents thought they could save money by putting wrapping paper on it, and giving it to me for my birthday. That's all they got me. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom got me a gym membership and a bunch of clothes that are a few sizes too small. FML
Today, I got a birthday package from my parents. It was all the stuff I'd forgotten there when visiting a month ago, along with some other things I'd left behind when I moved out. FML
Today, when I saw a big box that looked like a playstation, I got really excited and my parents were there and everything looked like it really was something big, so I start to open the wrapper and surprise... it was a lamp. FML
Today, it's my birthday. After a day out partying, I came home to find all my stuff smashed in the yard, even my 42" plasma TV. After asking my girlfriend what her problem was, she said a "slut" left a message on the machine stating how fun last night was. It turned out to be my mom. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I have been heavily hinting that I want an iPhone. I opened my present from my parents and found an iPhone box. Ecstatic, I quickly opened it. Apparently, my parents thought it would be funny to wrap my present, a $10 iTunes gift card, in the box my Dad's iPhone came in. FML
Today, I invited my boss and his family over for dinner. As usual, I bought his kids Christmas' presents, nothing too fancy though. This year, he had one more that wasn't here last year. So I just pulled something from under the tree to hand him. He opened it on the spot. It was my son's PS3. FML
Today, it was my brother's birthday. I was short on money but got him a present anyway. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "I didn't really want this." FML
Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If your brother has one, and he lives with you, why not just play that one? I've never understood why some households feel the need to have multiple of the same video game system for each child they have, except when it comes to the portable ones.

Get a job and buy your own ps3. Or get a girlfriend. Those are dinner to play with.

What if OP isn't old enough to get a job? By the way OP is female, so unless she's a lesbian the girlfriend thing won't work out that well.

Oh just be grateful!

Grateful for being deceived?

Grateful for getting something.

171 You shouldn't be grateful just because you got anything at all. It seems kind of desperate. She's also being ****** with. The intent was not to give the daughter a nice gift. If she had simply gotten clothes, op might not feel hurt or disappointed. There's nothing ungrateful about knowing when your being shit on.

Unless your mother put a ps3 in some clothing bags, that's a pretty mean thing to do to someone on their birthday. If your mother couldn't afford it, then she shouldn't have got your hopes up for a laugh.

We do that all the time in my family, but never that low!! Usually it's a blender box!! FYL, OP.
