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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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'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 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 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, my parents said that they bought me a car. I had been begging for one for a year and they always said that I would have to pay for it myself. I got really excited and went to the garage to see my new ride. It was a Hot Wheels car with a note saying, "Save your money". FML
Today, is my 16th birthday. Thinking that my parents would be out of town for it like they had every other year, I decided it would be fun to tan nude in my backyard. Apparantly my parents set up a surprise party for my sweet 16. I was standing naked infront of half my school. FML
Today, I came home to find my dad had backed into my already crappy car. The reason they didn't buy me a nicer car in the first place was they were afraid I'd wreck it. FML
Today, I was having my birthday party. My dad showed up late, blind drunk, and drove his car straight through my garage door. FML
Today, I accidentally crashed my mom's car into my dad's car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

not really a fml you have parents who would buy you a car for your birthday and i really doubt they wouldn't spend the money to fix it up for you

What your dad probably should have done was just park it in the garage or driveway, rather than drive it into a street lamp. Now it's all banged up...

My mom got herself a new car and gave me her 10 year old one when I was able to drive so that I could drive myself and my brothers to school and she wouldn't need to do that anymore. Too close for them to send a bus with the way the budgets are, too far and unsafe to walk (would require crossing a six-lane highway that didn't even have a crosswalk at that point in time- now it does). Pretty much all you need at that age is a functional car as long as you actually do need to drive somewhere. My car has its issues but even now that I'm 19 and still using the same car my parents are more than happy to help me with maintaining it, since it's older and that can cost a bit more. In a year or so maybe they're going to help me buy a new one (but by "new" I mean probably 2 years old or so) and we're passing the one I've been using on to my brothers (they're twins). I can see why this would be disappointing since you had all that anticipation, but hopefully it could still be fixed and your dad was okay?

FYL for having parents who would even consider buying you a car in the first place....i agree with #24

#8 I'm sure they wouldn't claim that since they wouldn't get any money, they'd probably just fix it without involving the insurance company. And this is not a FML I didn't get a car until I was 18, it was a 13 year old Mazda 626 with 125,000 miles on it, and I was happy to have that!

agree with #10 You should be lucky you even got a car with such a spoiled attitude. BTW I also agree with others who say you're gonna crash it anyways

Sweetheart, for my sixteenth birthday I didn't even get a cake. You're not allowed to be pissed that your dad crashed the car. It's technically his, anyway. He's just letting you drive it. Did you even thank him when you saw the car? I sure as heck hope so.

WHAT?! this is NOT AN FML. The fact that you got a car for your 16th is more than what most of us would ever get. YOU ARE A SPOILT BRAT, and if I was your father, I'd punch you in the face! You make me never want to have kids.
