Today, the only birthday present I got was a gift card to a steak house. Not a bad gift, but I'm a vegan. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my family took me to a steak house. I went for an eight minute bathroom break, coming back to an empty table. They ordered dessert, and left me the bill. I'm a vegetarian, and it's my birthday. FML

Today, the only "Happy birthday!" I got was from the cake I bought for myself. FML

How can I make this about me?
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML

Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes.

Ham-fisted attempt
Today, my loving but absent-minded father gave me a packet of ham for my birthday, which would be pretty shit even if I hadn't been a strict vegetarian for the last 27 years. FML

Today, it's my birthday, and my coworkers gave me a $75 gift card to a restaurant chain near my house. Later in the evening, I found out the chain of restaurants abruptly closed. All of them. FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only thing I got was a coupon for a couples acupuncture session from my sister. I'm single and have an extreme fear of needles. FML

Today, my parents were supposed to take me out to eat for my birthday, but since their favorite child wasn't with us, I instead got a mini order of tots from Sonic as my birthday meal/present. FML

Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. FML

If you're a vegan, YDI. If you're a vegetarian, FYL.

I guess vegans are a protected species in this community.

BOY, did you really just say "VEGETABLE PLANT"! Let me know where i can buy a steak plant!

Not all plants produce vegetables, if you don't believe me, try eating some nightshade, I hear those are very delicious fruit plants.....

I wonder if someone close to you gave it to you, just to be an asshole.

Something I'd totally do to a close friend of mine. But then again, I am an asshole

happy birthday op????

Re-gift it to someone else on their birthday. Just make sure you don't give it back to the same person
Mightyrif 23
Give it back to the same person. They get the same amount of thought that they gave when choosing OP's present.

They may not have known OP was vegan. I have close friends in another state that I haven't seen in a while. We still send each other gifts, but it's hard to get a good gift when you aren't sure what's going on in their lives anymore xD

Just sell the card. It's so easy to turn unwanted gift cards into cash.
ohSNAPyall 27
Yeah, you could sell it on Craigslist.

Trade it for a giant eggplant.

Op should meat up with someone who likes steak and exchange the card for cash
jerryj 27
OP should trade in the card for some green. He/she is into plants after all.

Maybe the restaurant has food for vegans or trade the value of the gift with a friend for cash.

at least their intention was good
