Today, was my birthday. I asked for a camera - nothing fancy, just a basic digital camera. My mother bought my brother a fancy digital camera, with all the accessories, for over £200. She then gave me his old, analogue camera, that I can't get film for anymore. He hates taking photos. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had promised that the day would belong to me. But no, I had to drive 80km forth and back to pick him up from work, then he took pictures with his new camera lens, then he decided what to eat, demanded a massage, and then he just fell asleep. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, my mother's blatant favouritism of my little brother hit an all time high when she got him his dream car for his 18th birthday, to the tune of £7000. Do you know what she got me for my 18th last year? £10 in a card and a bottle of cheap wine that she ended up drinking herself. FML
Today, my stepmother proved once again that she likes to play favourites. She has no job, so anything she gifts comes from my dad’s account. On my last birthday, I got £5 on a cheap card. Today, my step-brother's birthday, he got £400 and an iPad. He’s 4 years old. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I don't mind crappy gifts, but I have to wonder why the hell my boyfriend bought me a home enema kit. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I asked my mom that instead of a present if she would make a donation to my favourite charity. She said that this wasn't a "proper" present for a 15-year-old girl. Instead she got me a kettle because "ours had broke and you make the most tea in the family." FML
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
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 had a look at the pictures my mom took during my birthday a couple of weeks ago. Every single one is of my sister. Her lighting the candles, her watching me open presents, and her eating cake. The only pictures of me are in the background. FML
Today, my dad gave me his old camera. I got home and eagerly turned it on to start using it. I was greeted by a photo of my father drunk, smiling, naked, and covered in peanut butter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, I guess that's what you get for not being the favorite. Kinda makes me happy to be an only child.

Just ignore it. He's trying to make you mad on purpose. :] Laugh at his inability to get a girlfriend and move on.

Antique cameras are the shit. Maybe you'll learn to appreciate it over time. New cameras are new cameras. Just borrow your brothers. £200 I don't think buys you a really excellent camera though.

OP said that she can't buy film for it. I don't car how kick-ass a camera is, without film it's useless.

Antique cameras don't need to work to be worth it. I mean... Would you rather have a somewhat cheap diamond ring or an expensive old one? Which one would be worth more in the end? Just because you don't see any immediate use for it doesn't mean it's not worth anything. And if it's one of those old Polaroid cameras, I'm kicking someone in the face.

I didn't say worthless. I said useless. And from the sound of it I doubt its some nice antique. Just something old. Also your ring example isn't a very good one since you can still wear an antique diamond ring. Maybe like.....idk antique toys? Too fragile with age to be played with anymore, but still awesome and worth money.

Successful troll is successful. Really, if you're going to get butthurt over little things like that over the Internet then you shouldn't ever leave your MySpace/Facebook/Twitter pages.

You're joking right? OP probably does have a job. The fact of the matter here is it was her birthday and despite making it clear what she wanted she was given a basically unusable gift while her brother who doesnt even have an interest in photography got a nice new camera -.-"

I agree with #11 I gradually "stole" by sisters camera by just asking to borrow it because she never uses it. She now asks to borrow it from me. :D

If he hates taking photos then just ask him for it. He shouldn't be bothered.
