Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML

Today, after selling their car, my parents decided to inform me that my car (that I paid for myself) is now going to be the "Family Car". They also informed me that since it is, after all, my car, I'll still have to pay for the gas and maintenance. FML

Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML

Today, after replacing several components on my new used car, I realized that the reason it wasn't getting the gas mileage it was supposed to because my coworkers take turns siphoning my gas while I work. FML

Today, I replaced the fog lights on my car and completely filled my gas tank. $50+ later, the transmission decided it wanted to go out. FML

Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML

Today, I decided I'd sell an old motorcycle I had, in order to help with the bills. I had to be at work at the time when an interested buyer was to show up, so I entrusted my mother with the exchange as she's unemployed. Mom pocketed the money and bought a new freezer for her house, and won't pay me back. FML

Today, I had to sell over $400 worth of china at a flea market. I barely got paid enough to refill my gas tank. FML

I'd say there would be some poetic justice if you were to siphon her gas.

Fake, unless you are dumb enough to not sign the pink slip. If that's the case, YDI big time.

I am assuming likely what happened was-- the kid finds a car that does not run (or barely does in very bad shape) for little to no money. The mom agrees to buy the car. Since the kid is likely 16 and it is his 'first car' the mom keeps possessio of the title. The kid is not concerned with not having the title as he is just excited about having a car and project all his own. Kid puts lots of time and energy into said car and gets it either running or in better condition. Mom gets into a bind and needs money, she uses up all other resources and has to sell the one asset she outright owns-- even though she bought it for the kid. Its a sad story but teaches the kid a lesson he will not soon forget. This is a sad FML. Good luck. Hopefully there is a dad or other male role figure in this scenario that understands the importance of the independence a car brings a young man.

Today, the guy I'd been talking to online and liked came to my house party with a bunch of mutual friends. He spent the night sitting in the corner on the sofa talking to my cat. I woke up later to see that not only had he crashed for the night, but he'd curled up in the dog basket. FML
