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

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

Wow, hope it was a mis-steak.

Sell it and buy a vegetable plant or something you like.

You should be happy that you even got a birthday present. I haven't gotten a single birthday present all week. Granted my birthday isn't until June, but still though. It's pretty depressing. :(

I once went a whole birthday year without a gift! I live alone and don't talk to my family but it still sucks. I feel for you!

I require more early birthday greetings. The voices demand them!!! >.>

She better be! She was the one who encouraged me to become a professional FML badge hunter.

Being a vegan is a huge missed steak.

Even though it's a steakhouse, it will have vegan options... Just seems like you're just looking for something to bitch about.

Steak isnt the only thing at skeak houses op. Eat some salad, or oreos...

Unless they're a really crappy restaurant, they should still have some decent vegetarian/vegan options. Look up the menu online and see if it surprises you.

If you don't think you'll use it, you could always sell it and buy something for yourself.
