Today, is my 21st birthday. I get home after my night out and walk into the garage to see a 2002 Red Corvette convertible. I run up to the car thinking its a gift and there's a note: "Dani this is not your birthday present. Quit drooling on my car. -Dad" Thanks Dad. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML

Today, I walk out of my apartment to find that my car is decorated with explicit drawings and "Happy 21st birthday" stuff written all over it. To top it off, my vehicle is completely wrapped in plastic wrap. I'm 22 and my birthday is in December. FML

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, 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

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, my Dad sent me an e-mail wishing me a "Happy 21st Birthday, sweetheart!" The message went on and on about how much he loves and misses me and wishes we were closer, and can't believe how fast I'm growing up. I'm 23 and my birthday is in December. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML

Today, my Dad gave me my birthday card. The envelope was blank, as was the card, and the £0.25 price tag was still on. He was fully aware of all these things, but handed it to me and said, "By the way, I didn't write anything." Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it's my birthday and my mom took me and some friends to an amusement park. Looking for a tampon, I found a phone in my mom's purse that I didn't recognize. Turns out my mom is cheating on my dad. Happy birthday to me, I guess. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My dad was supposed to take me to get a tattoo, but instead he went to the bar, got drunk, and told me how I was the biggest mistake he and my mom have ever made. FML

Why would they give you such an expensive car??? Buy your own car, you're an adult!

I can't imagine how horrible it would be to not get a corvette for your birthday.

Trust me, you dont want a vette....... No disrespect to your old man but every person I have ever met driving a corvette has been a complete tool. P.S. what the hell are you doing living at home when you're 21? Get your ass out and buy your own car.

I knew the car wasn't for me to begin with but there is nothing wrong in wanting one...my dad had been looking at getting one for a while now. This is just suppose to be funny as are all the other ones out there!!! Get a grip people. I have been supporting myself for years! And I do live on my own. Thanks f-heads. And to everyone out there that can actually appreciate a good joke, thank you!

Does anybody else smell a rat here? How did she know right away, just from looking at it, that it was a 2002 Corvette?

I'm tired of people thinking that on their birthday they can do anything they want, and everything and anything is a possible gift for them. Seriously, get over yourself. How is this a FML? Because your spoiled ass didn't get a brand new Corvette? Be lucky you get to drive it some time. btw, your dad sounds hilarious. What's his FMYLife.com handle?

Oh, one more thing... MOVE OUT OF YOUR PARENTS HOUSE! 21 and live at home? AND you think you deserve a Corvette on your birthday? FYL for sure, but not for the reason you expressed in your description. Loser.

#117 - well, the OP might be going to a college that's close to home and trying to save out on housing... in that case she'd actually be saving her parents money by just living at home.
