Transportation, Cars, Relatable and Awkward: Quite the gamble

Quite the gamble

Today, to celebrate my older sister's 21st birthday, my parents forced me to take the night off work so we could all go to the casino. Not only is this coming out of my vacation, I wasn't old enough to enter the casino, so I had to sit in the car. FML

Today, my parents took me to a bar to celebrate my 21st birthday. They brought my little brother, but when the bouncer wouldn't allow him in, they made me wait outside with him while they went in for drinks. FML

Today, I got a job at a casino where I was actually planning on spending my 21st birthday next month. After they hired me, they told me no employees are allowed to play or gamble on or off the clock, for as long as they are employed there, or termination will immediately follow. FML

Today, my older sister threw an epic tantrum, demanding that my parents not pay for my 21st birthday trip. She insists it’s not fair for them to gift me a trip, since she didn’t get to celebrate her 21st. She didn’t get to celebrate because she was pregnant. Now my mom wants to reconsider. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML

Today, I was excitedly celebrating my 21st birthday. I was heading my to my first club when my sister called and snarkly said, “Congratulations on being 21, hope you don’t get drugged, raped and murdered tonight!” She’s mad that she was pregnant on her 21st and didn’t get to go out, so she wanted to ruin mine.

Today, is my 21st birthday. My friends took me to a bar to celebrate, knowing I don't drink. I'm now in charge of driving my friends home after they've had an awesome night. FML

Today, my 26th birthday party got busted by my parents due to them coming home early because of a flight cancellation. Everyone had to leave, but not before my mother made me go to my room. FML

Today, it was my 18th birthday and I was told I couldn't get the night off work because a party of 34 had booked into the restaurant. It turned out my family had come in to 'celebrate' by making me wait on them. They were a nightmare, thought it was hilarious to be difficult, and didn't tip. FML

Most casinos will let you in as long as you are with your parents, you just can't gamble.

that's kind of stupid of you. obviously you wouldn't have been allowed in. also, how do your parents FORCE you to take the night off?? unless you work for your parents, I'm pretty sure you didn't have to.

exactly! if you're stupid enough to think, "yes, my parents CAN make me take off work, and I might be able to get into a casino" don't blame your parents, because you were dumb enough to go along with it, and thought it would work.

Unless OP's parents were threatening to ground them/take away something/kick them out. I doubt they just rolled over and took it. This isn't OP's fault...

It sucks you didn't make a little money because you didn't work, but the good news is that you didn't lose a helluva lot of money going into the casino.

Lol made fun of by one of the greats, I won’t make excuses and I’ll take your criticism on board. Of course in the grand scheme of things this isn’t really important so I properly won’t. :)
