Today, I had a going-away party because I am leaving the country forever. Out of the 130 people invited, 60 were a resounding "Yes! of course I will go!". After paying $300 for everything needed at the party, 2 ended up coming. And left because nobody else was there. FML

FYL indeed!

#2 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:13am by ohsoale

wow that sucks dude... guess those two people are the only people you should even consider keeping in touch with cuz the rest are just assholes!

#3 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:14am by dce74

I feel really bad for you, safe travels.

#4 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:14am by amelinat

I know exactly how that goes. I guess you know who your real friends are. I empathize.

#5 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:16am by onigiriqueen

hehe all two of them

#129 - On 06/28/2009 at 11:12pm by king_jeff

Yeah, um. Nobody. Heh. Better luck abroad.

#6 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:18am by KyleCaster

Are you sure they got the right address?

#7 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:18am by NGM_KID

From experience, never throw yourself a going away party and expect folks to come. Just tell folks you are leaving and if someone wants to organize something they will and invite people over and set it up. I have heard of several friends inviting over a hundred people to these things, just to see only about 0-15 show up to send their good byes.

#9 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:24am by BigGuy99

Wow, jerks need to learn to keep their end of the RSVP.

Hopefully you find better friends in the new country.

#10 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:26am by Seegtease

That really sucks... At least you got to say goodbye to those 2? LOL

FYL. :(

#11 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:26am by poopooface

Wouldn't those 2 feel bad about no one showing up and stay? Fucked up either way. Sucks bra.

#12 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:30am by raged

#7: You agree with #7? Uh...

#13 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:31am by plethora

awww i'm sorry thats soo unfortunate. when you go to your new country, get better friends.

#14 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:40am by heyitslee

I guess that would explain why your leaving the country forever huh

#15 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:40am by thatwasobvious

well at least you're leaving those douchebag behind, things can only get better now! good luck in your new life

#16 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:40am by robvicious

it's kinda bad to set up your own going away party anyway, but yeah FYL.

#17 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:43am by someone1989

Maybe you're leaving forever for a good reason, eh? Next time.... better luck, better plans, and don't flatter yourself? Be safe in your traveling, and good luck.

#18 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:44am by Amkii

....don't you have phone numbers?

#19 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:46am by yes_yes_yes

#8: I think parties should be held anyway. You find out who your true friends are. Which, I guess, the OP did.

#20 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:47am by deplorableworld

This sounds unrealistic.

#21 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:51am by Ohnoitslindsay

I would be pissed if that many said they would show and then just ditched me.

#22 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:58am by 24788

why are you leaving the country..I WANT TO KNOW!!!!! well if indeed this pitiful country...I can see why...everybody hates us...and im embarrased...for being..an nacirema (get a mirror) it also shows how sad we are...well they are because they left you....for no reason..=[ idiots too bad I wasn't invited lol

#23 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:03am by 19d00m_bAbE99

you're probably really pretty, i'd like to meet you.

#24 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:08am by strat

FYI sorry bro/dudette

#25 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:09am by JacktheBlack

aw but i'm sure there was a misunderstanding or they didn't talk to you after their rsvp so they weren't sure if the party was still on?

#26 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:19am by username93

Must be a good reason why no one likes you.

#27 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:25am by thelonelylurker

Man, that sucks. But next time don't throw yourself a going way party... People/Family should throw it for you. Well if they don't, just go somewhere with a few friends. When I was leaving to go to a new college I didn't get a going away party... I just hung out with some close friends... of course going out of town for college isn't that big a of deal, but whatever.

#28 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:44am by Osakhomen

dude, maybe its cause you're a douchebag. i can tell from the way you said "yes! of course i will go!" LAME

#29 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:28am by meepmeep

Guess you're not very loved and your friends don't give a damn about you. Good thing you're leaving the country for good.

#30 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:30am by Tehalon

I was going to go, but I started having 'Cloverfield' flashbacks.

#31 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:33am by TheCrow471

Wow that sucks but then agian moveing at all sucks sooooooooooooo much ass the party doesnt really matter

#32 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:35am by max11423

That sucks. I invited about 50 people to my I'm-leaving-the-country-forever part and all of them showed up, at least for a little while - I was actually kind of surprised, since we were all between 18-25 and there was no drinking allowed since my parents were afraid of upsetting the neighbours. We were rowdy and annoying anyway, so sucks to them

#33 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:37am by PTERONOPHOBIA

FYL :| tht sukz, atleast you wnt see them anymore!

#34 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:52am by Shanny

sorry bra, hope you find some better friends within your travels tho

#35 - On 04/26/2009 at 6:34am by worstlifevuh

Wow that sucks, hopefully when you move you will get better friends than that

#36 - On 04/26/2009 at 6:57am by bfsfan101

This is one of my biggest fears, though it's never actually happened to me. I have been the one of 2-3 people to show up to a party though, and once I was the only one.
Tough, man. Your "friends" are dicks and at least you know who's worth it now.

#38 - On 04/26/2009 at 7:32am by uhnonimiss

That sucks so much, I'm sorry.
I'm agreeing with the others that said there must've been a misunderstanding though, since it seems a bit unlikely that only 2 of 60 people would turn up.

#39 - On 04/26/2009 at 7:46am by OMGQueenB

wow that sucks. sorry man
and also, what does OP stand for?

#40 - On 04/26/2009 at 7:51am by skiz

did you invite them via facebook?

#41 - On 04/26/2009 at 8:34am by desi_chica

I agree with number 5!
This is so sad...

#43 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:17am by foltaggio

I feel sorry for you. But at least you will never have to see those jerks faces ever again (the ones that didn't show up when they said they would)

#44 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:20am by cheese1756

mate, you'd be cut! have a good flight!

from a random.

#45 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:23am by juzie014

this really is very sad!!

#46 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:23am by sheepyblah

OMG! that is some harsh stuff. :(
I feel so sorry for you. TBH if i was you i would call each of them and be like...where were you? just to make them feel bad. Cause that is some really mean stuff.

Hope new country turns out well and you find new and better friends.

#47 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:51am by mustkill46

That sucks. But at least you're leaving the country and will never have to see those people again! Make better friends next time.

#48 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:57am by TaraLin07

That really is horrible. Dust yourself off and look forward to your new adventures. Don't look back. There is no point wasting your efforts on people like that. Have a GREAT time in your new country!

#49 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:58am by tami1215

that's terrible = ( your "friends" suck.... why are you leaving the country forever? You'll never go back? And where was your family?

#50 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:58am by ThatsAli3

I agree with #8. Your mistake was throwing YOURSELF a going-away party. Sounds egotistical. Probably turned off a lot of your "friends." Maybe now that you're leaving the country you have a chance to start over, beginning with that attitude of yours.

#51 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:29am by jonnymohio

#23 he's not necessarily an American, and plenty of people still think America is awesome. You should really try taking a step back and seeing the good in this country.

#52 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:32am by FerreThoughts

good thing your moving..

#53 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:37am by paperplanes92

aw im sorry.

#54 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:57am by gamerdude94

thats just fucking sad...
hope you find some real friends where you're moving

Shit like this is why I never have parties for anything. People are such dicks.

#57 - On 04/26/2009 at 11:34am by spoonboy

They must be glad you're leaving the country. ;)

#58 - On 04/26/2009 at 11:38am by sondramcfail

aw :(
that sucks

#59 - On 04/26/2009 at 11:58am by ccristinaa

That makes me want to cry.

#60 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:02pm by AmpulexCompressa

You just found out the easiest and least painful way who your true friends are... Consider yourself lucky!

#61 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:03pm by champagnedreams

Leaving the country forever? Are you on the run from the law?

#62 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:10pm by thugbert

Oh, wow... that's awful. I know (or can at least try to know) how you feel.

#63 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:16pm by Vilen1025

hard to believe, but if it's true then you probably put the wrong date on the invitations or something. but this can't be right, haha. something surely went wrong.

but sorry anyway!

#64 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:25pm by rihannalover

That sucks. :(

#65 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:27pm by pinkfakecheez

hahahah 300 bucks for a party? tht must suck dick i wonder why ur leaving the country? maybe cuz u cant afford it

#66 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:27pm by MattZirul

Same question as 41. Because when people say they will be attending on that it doesn't count. If you did, you totally deserve it, next time spend money on actual invitations. If not, your life is really fucked.

#67 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:43pm by moonfire

That's either fake, you're stupid and didn't send out real invitations, or you have no friends.

For any of those, yes, please leave the country.

#68 - On 04/26/2009 at 12:59pm by heathcoate

I don't see anything wrong with throwing yourself a party as long as it's a "I really want to have one last good time with all my friends" vibe and not a "sucks for all of you that you'll never get to see me again" vibe.

#69 - On 04/26/2009 at 1:00pm by wut

A least you're going to make new, better friends in a different country!

#70 - On 04/26/2009 at 1:26pm by pommeblossom

wow...fyl

#71 - On 04/26/2009 at 1:36pm by xxfallenangelxx

you sound egotistical and self-centred. maybe that's why you don't have any friends. get a reality check and stop looking for pity on the internet.

#72 - On 04/26/2009 at 1:41pm by ihpb09

aww man and leaving forever!
It must be a misunderstanding. Or those friends of yours are just acquaintances in reality.

#73 - On 04/26/2009 at 1:41pm by fmyoptical

something is wrong, why didn't they call an cancel? If they are no call/no shows then maybe it's better you're leaving the country

#74 - On 04/26/2009 at 2:20pm by LittleMel4

sounds like you need to work on your people skills.

#75 - On 04/26/2009 at 2:22pm by jasax1

wow that was messed up. and why did 7 agree with him/herself?

#76 - On 04/26/2009 at 2:36pm by johnnyramone

That sucks. But just think...They showed you their true colors, and now you don't have to feel guilty or miss them. In a way they just made things more simple...I say fuck 'em, and find better friends in the new country you're moving to. It might not be a bad idea to keep in touch with the two that showed up; although they should've stuck around for a bit in a time like that.

Just as an example...I moved to a new state 1500 miles away at the end of '07, and in the course of a year (along with a couple visits back) I learned a LOT about who my true friends were and who weren't. If I were to vacation or move back to where I'm from, I'll know exactly who I should get in touch with and who I should not bother with, just like you will if you decide to visit your home country at some time.

#77 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:03pm by chea_chea

FAKE!!

I can't pinpoint the source atm, but I know that someone wrote an article in a magazine about Facebook and social networking. They invited ALL their Facebook friends to a party at a bar, and only two ended up showing up.

So YDI for making this shit up.

#78 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:07pm by potentpotable

You must be a terrible person

#79 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:22pm by 12mp04

forever? are you being deported?

#80 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:24pm by yui567

I hope you find better friends in your new country.

#81 - On 04/26/2009 at 3:54pm by Rain

a) what country are you from b) why are you leaving forever?

if its the US, good. i dont want your type here. We're the best country in the world any if you dont think so, STFU and GTFO.

#82 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:00pm by satanicminnow1

uhhh, wasnt the fact that you were throwing your own going away party kind of a heads up that not that many people are going to show up at all? And yes, your life is f****d

#83 - On 04/26/2009 at 4:32pm by SFraser

all of them are dicks, even the two that came. i hope someone notices what i just said. that was actually really mean of them to leave. they should've stayed.

#84 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:17pm by Gotz_No_Love

this seems a big unlikely. 58 people just decide to rsvp then not show up?
but if it's true, fyl.

#85 - On 04/26/2009 at 5:25pm by mehwhateverr

that's jst sad
this is one true "fml"

#86 - On 04/26/2009 at 6:03pm by blah_whatever123

YDI for leaving the country. Enjoy exploration of the 3rd world.

#87 - On 04/26/2009 at 7:34pm by QJD

Let's see.... $300 divided by 60 expected people....$5 a person. Wow! You were really going all out.

#88 - On 04/26/2009 at 7:38pm by ditlihi

#31 FTW

#89 - On 04/26/2009 at 8:02pm by thespacecowboy

Why do so many people do that? Honestly so many people say they will show up to something but never do... When I say I will be there guess what... I'M THERE!

#90 - On 04/26/2009 at 8:21pm by thubar

FUCK THEM THEY SUCK LIKE SHIT
TEXT THEM AND TELL THEM THEYRE ASSHOLES
THEN KILL THEM

haha jk but rlly yea

#91 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:03pm by scateice

Lemme guess... you invited them on facebook..

#92 - On 04/26/2009 at 9:15pm by BEB131

what do you care you're leaving them forever, so you don't have to deal with there bs anymore

#93 - On 04/26/2009 at 10:48pm by 91Caleb

Well, you'll never see these idiots again so it's no big loss. Hopefully you'll find better friends in your new country.

Put it this way, you won't need to pay to go back and visit them.

#94 - On 04/26/2009 at 11:17pm by mattmag

Maybe they got the date wrong? Haha if #91's right, you might've deserved that..

#95 - On 04/27/2009 at 12:05am by watchnlearn

lol---> #14.....
yeah. this is a definitely fmylife worthy story.

#96 - On 04/27/2009 at 12:13am by playful2088

awhhhh im sorry

#97 - On 04/27/2009 at 12:55am by dirtskootin713

aww :( sorry bout that...
probably wrong address? :/

#98 - On 04/27/2009 at 1:05am by lalush

well now you get to leave all those shitty people behind :D

#99 - On 04/27/2009 at 1:13am by mandyc

Awww thats sad

#100 - On 04/27/2009 at 3:00am by sca006

sounds like you invited them by facebook right? in which case im not suprised seeing for msot people even though they have hundreds of 'friends' on facebook probably only ever talk to a few of them.

#101 - On 04/27/2009 at 8:26am by Azlin_22

It's a relatively cheap way to discover you have absolutely no GOOD friends. Enjoy your trip, travels, and new life - you won't have to worry about anyone back home.........

#102 - On 04/27/2009 at 8:47am by MGW501

US sucks after a while,I don't blame her for leaving lol.

That's so mean though,wow.

#103 - On 04/27/2009 at 8:57am by bella_brasil

i got almost the same thing when i left the country
so just realize that those were absolutely not your friends and forget them
were are u going ?

#104 - On 04/27/2009 at 10:46am by jeremsan

aw yeah I had a similar experience with a party, i had 60 yes and 13 show up... and spent around $150... it sucked and i was really embarrassed at the time, but at least i learned a good lesson about how to tell who my real friends actually were. don't worry about it, it's behind you, and your life is moving forward anyway if you're leaving for good!! have a wonderful trip :)

#105 - On 04/27/2009 at 11:14am by jmeg

Thats sucks really hard.
Good luck.

#106 - On 04/27/2009 at 12:27pm by maddog

Thats so fake, Your not leaving FOREVER. and then why would no one come, and they wouldn't just leave.

#107 - On 04/27/2009 at 8:28pm by nvjldnvndsvnd

Sounds like you used facebook, since that's one of the default responses. Chances are they do what I use to and my friends still do, just say "Yes" to every invitation and decide later which one you'll go to. Kinda fucked up they did it since it was a going away party, we only did for club and weekly house parties. Shouldn't use facebook for the important events though.

#108 - On 04/27/2009 at 8:45pm by scottie06

I've been in a similiar situation when I moved cross country. No party was thrown but I spent my remaining hours with my closest friends. I'm curious as to why you are leaving the country forever?

#109 - On 04/27/2009 at 10:50pm by Freedominic

That sucks a lot man, I hope where you travel too people are nicer.

#110 - On 04/27/2009 at 10:56pm by RunZoneFive

That sucks a lot man, I hope that wherever you travel too people are nicer

#111 - On 04/27/2009 at 11:03pm by RunZoneFive

i agree with # 12 hah

#112 - On 04/28/2009 at 4:03am by lacrosse_allstar

damn dude, bad friends and bad people.

#113 - On 04/28/2009 at 11:55am by Midgetron

My mom sent out the invites for my 8th birthday the day before the party was to happen, because my mom fails at everything she tries to do. Only one kid showed up. I sympathize with you.

#114 - On 04/28/2009 at 2:18pm by missus_butter

I assume you did that event on Facebook? Because for Facebook events, Maybe = No, and Yes = No.

#115 - On 04/28/2009 at 2:19pm by nomo

thats just plain depressing.

#116 - On 04/29/2009 at 12:52am by blaine_alan

i would check the date you sent out for the party...there may have been a HUGE miscommunication

#117 - On 04/30/2009 at 10:54am by sillyMe

That sucks bro.

#118 - On 05/01/2009 at 3:47pm by ArmyOfOne

Yeesh, no wonder you left the country.

#119 - On 05/04/2009 at 2:48am by Pekoe

thats classic!

#120 - On 05/26/2009 at 2:00pm by brozo98

thats sad.

#121 - On 05/27/2009 at 11:10pm by PredyJessica

at least your leaving

#122 - On 05/31/2009 at 11:30am by kimisaparasite

That's not good at all!!!

#123 - On 06/05/2009 at 4:19pm by Luna2009

Oh how sad :(

#124 - On 06/07/2009 at 2:22am by Blackmist

Ouch, that must really hurt. :-(

#125 - On 06/15/2009 at 3:58pm by A_Panda

Dude, that's bullshit, I felt the same way when I was leaving Central America to come here...

Sucks, huh?

#126 - On 06/16/2009 at 11:34am by Makinitez

the bright side is you knew 130 people to invite? Thats something

#128 - On 06/28/2009 at 11:09pm by king_jeff

where the two people who came your parents?

#130 - On 07/19/2009 at 5:30pm by emilieeee

Awww! That really sucks! i feel so bad for you. God Bless those 2 people. Have a safe trip!

#131 - On 07/22/2009 at 11:20pm by iloveblackshirt6

I bet you're one of those people that invites all their facebook friends and then acts surprised when they don't show up.

Most people outgrow the imaginary friend phase when very young. Some have to take a little more time to learn that fb friends aren't going to loan them money, help them move, or show up at their parties.

#132 - On 07/22/2009 at 11:32pm by sparxva

Ouch! That's harsh that only two people showed up after sixty said they would. Maybe there was bad weather or something that made it difficult for people to get there. Maybe the location was hard to find. I hope it goes better for you in the future!

#133 - On 07/23/2009 at 3:29am by berd

wow that really sucks.... but think about it in this way: youll make muuuuuch better friends in the new country, especially if its brazil!!! (for comment #87: what is the problem with 3rd world countries? i live in one and i have the best time, i would never move...dont say what u dont know! prejudice is NOT nice-thats why the world is the way it is...)

enjoy your new life! and keep in touch with those 2 people for sure!

#134 - On 08/24/2009 at 9:19pm by lucky_nooot

wow that sucks..but think about it in this way: in the new place youll make muuuch better friends thats for sure... and for comment #87 dont say what u dont know..i live in a 3rd world country and i love it, would never move...its because of people like you that the world is the way it is...

enjoy your new life! and keep in touch with those 2 people!!!
