Today, I got a cross-country job promotion. I decided to plan my Going-Away-Forever party, and bought a pack of 100 invitations. After mailing them out to all my friends, I have 92 left. FML
I agree, your life sucks (42036) - you totally deserved it (7477)

(-4)Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
anyone can have 100 good quality friends if they try.
childhood friends that you stay in contact with, etc...
social people can have 100+ friends
#229 - On 06/21/2009 at 11:21pm by fredwillkill
(+3)But are those 100+ people really your friends or just people you socialize with? Most of those people wouldn't even think about bailing you out of jail.
(+2)A good friend will come to bail you out of jail, A best friend will be in jail with you saying "We screwed up".

(0)True. It`s not a real FML at all. I feel worse for his or her friends, seeing as the OP doesn't find them important enough to be grateful for. Guess we know even those '8' friends won`t last long.
#259 - On 05/13/2010 at 2:46am by Selsa_Squirrel
(+2)i spose they wouldnt have a party pack for 8 though.
you should just have 12.5 different going away forever parties :)
(+2)8 close friends are better than 100 whatever friends!
#7 - On 05/03/2009 at 5:56am by TheCheeseMan
(+1)Definitely quality over quantity, but you should be fully aware of this before you decide to buy a pack of 100.
Even if I technically know 100 people well enough to invite them to a party, I don't really think I'd want to.
#9 - On 05/03/2009 at 5:57am by boatiebanter
(0)Aw, I'm sorry. To be honest...there aren't many people I would want to invite to such an event, either. So long as the friends you have a TRUE friends, don't worry about it! The people who could send out 100 invites are often faking connections that aren't really there
(0)why arent your friends throwing you the party instead of the other way around?
#11 - On 05/03/2009 at 6:17am by the_poop_bandit
(+2)Uhm, I fail to see the big deal. Personally I only have two friends... FML? =/
#12 - On 05/03/2009 at 6:26am by crumsnatcha
(0)i hope those are the best friends in the world cause two is pretty sad i have about ten really good friends 4 that ive known all my life
(0)So, post an invitation to your party on facebook, reddit, digg, and the like. Just call it something with a cool name, make it have some type of thing like "worlds biggest pillow fight to take place afterward" and you'll have a large going away bash that will be memorable - and your 8 friends will think your really popular :D
(0)No-one has 100 "friends", no matter what some idiots might insist. If they're true friends you'll stay friends with when you move you have more than most!
(+2)If those 8 are your closest friends, then it's awesome.
#17 - On 05/03/2009 at 7:02am by allegronontroppo
(0)That guy has it better than me. I think I only have about 4 really good friends. I include one as my sister.
(+1)100 invitations? a party with 100 people is more like a riot than a party - just have a nice close dinner or night in with them! Celebrate!
#18 - On 05/03/2009 at 7:04am by PlasticShark
(+1)seriously if you have eight actual really good solid friends, that's a lot. are you still in school? if so, you'll find once you get out people weed themselves out of your life VERY quickly, and the ones that stick around are all that's worth having.
that said, i don't see why you'd buy SO many cards. you had to have had some kind of ballpark idea of how many people you'd be inviting...
i wouldn't say f your life or you deserve it, there's really nothing wrong here.
#19 - On 05/03/2009 at 7:06am by fretforyerlatte
(0)Why would you buy 100 invitations? Nobody has that many friends (despite what your Facebook account may say; admit it, you don't know who most of those people are at all). If you were inviting employees to a company picnic maybe, but for a small personal party? 100 people would be nuts anyway.
(0)I had a high school with 3500 people, i definitely have over 100 people i could invite to a party.
#224 - On 06/20/2009 at 5:44pm by Bangarang_Rufio
(+1)if those 8 people show up, i think you're pretty lucky to have 8 friends who care
#22 - On 05/03/2009 at 7:44am by username93
(0)You bought too many invitations? What a completely f*ed life.
8 friends for a party is fine.
#23 - On 05/03/2009 at 7:48am by Some___Guy
(+1)Agree with #1 and #2.
I can't tell you how many people talk to me because I'm 'cool' or because I throw pretty good parties and they wanna be invited.
Having your best friends around totally beat having strangers ruin your fun any day. Besides at big parties its way harder to keep track of who drank what and whos driving drunk. Hope you have fun at your new job!! Good luck :]
#25 - On 05/03/2009 at 8:31am by stfuminjakid
(+1)8 friends is a lot of friends! I've NEVER had that many friends at one time! The most I've had is 2. What do you need a bazillion friends for anyways?
(+1)I could easily have a hundred friends right now, but I can barely keep track of the ones I do have. I'd rather have one or two good friends, than a hundred borderline acquaintances.
#28 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:06am by not_my_life
(0)awwww! Is very sad the way you say it... but, is not necessary to have a lot of friends to feel good and loved... i, for instance, would have 200 left over... and im not sad about it!! :)
#29 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:08am by prettygirlsonly
(0)Quality, not quantity, right? :)
At least you'll be moving...
#31 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:25am by sondramcfail
(-2)AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. Wow, I have wellllllll over 100 friends. That's sad. I'm sorry. Fail.
#32 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:30am by AshlenDoll
(+1)I'd be willing to bet you have well over 100 people you *think* are your friends.
#246 - On 10/10/2009 at 6:39pm by Six_and_the_Moon
(0)you COULD have saved money by buying the 25 pack instead of the 100 pack....but it's not that big a deal to have 8 friends for a party! it's nice and intimate and you can have cocktails :]
#33 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:40am by alexthebrit
(+1)8 best friends > 100 acquaintances
#32-name all of your 100+ friends' middle names, their favorite colors, what they wanted to be when they grew up, what elementary school they went to, their goldfish's name from when they were six, what kind of car they drive, their favorite restaurant, etc. you can't, can you? if i had to choose between my life-long few best friends over 200 people that i barely know, its pretty obvious which is the better choice. you fail; the OP is smart.
#34 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:53am by suckstobeyou3
(0)who knows the address of ALL their friends anyway? im sure id only be able to mail out 8 too...
#35 - On 05/03/2009 at 9:58am by organisedchaos
(+2)#2 - agreed. It's way better to have a small bunch of friends than 100ish acquaintances. If you have 8 true friends, you can be very, VERY happy.
And as was mentioned at smallish parties it's easier to keep track of who drives, who can't drive anymore, who is whose ride, who needs to stay over due to not having a ride, it happens less often that people are left without a ride and there is no room for them to stay over...
#36 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:00am by no_one
(+1)I agree with #1 & #2 :).
Having 8 close friends is a wonderful thing. I don't know about everyone else, but I wouldn't want to have a party with hundreds of people that could honestly careless about me. They probably would just come for the food or something lol. All you need is a few friends in life. I like the idea that there's so few people, it'll be more intimate. There's nothing to feel bad about... at all :).
(0)#1 is right I would rather have 8 close friends then 100 backstabbers
#38 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:08am by lifesux007
(0)If I invited all of my friends, I'd have 85 invitations left over, and only half of them would show up because most of them hate at least one other friend that I would presumably invite.
Not really a FYL because like everyone else said, 8 close friends>100 acquaintances, and definitely not a YDI.
#39 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:13am by annabananaxx
(+2)#32, when you finally reach adulthood and find out that out of all of those "friends" not a single one liked you well enough to stay in touch after school, you'll realize what an epic FAILure you are.
To the OP, I agree with most everyone on here. I have 6 great friends that I would want at a party like that for me. Best of luck with your new job/life.
(+2)That's ohkay.
Rather a party with 8 friends you can trust with your life, than a room of a 100 you wouldn't trust with your backside.
Yes. That totally rhymed. Lol. ( :
(0)And you couldn't have decided who to invite BEFORE buying the cards?
Man, YDI for being a dumbass AND a loser with no friends.
#42 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:24am by onigiriqueen
(0)Why is this an FML? You just now realized that you have eight friends? And why are you throwing yourself a going away party, isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Stop complaining. YDI.
#43 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:25am by curryndricegirll
(+2)@ #42 - i bet you're one of these people that has 200 "friends" that don't actually like you. having 8 close friends is A LOT.
(0)you should probaley know how many friends you have befor you buy the invitations. Also, it's pretty sad that you only have 8 friends. ;]
(0)I have had many goign aways for ever parties ( lol I move around a lot ) and there is nothing you will remember most than a party with a few close friends...
I had a couple that were pretty much like a hige party...they were good, but felt just like any other party... not worth it...being the last time I will see this people... seeing how there were like 10 people who I saw once... and 6 that I really liked and some other 20 people who I talk to once in a while.
In reality most people only have around 5 close friends.
(0)Most people only have a few friends who are worth anything and would fill the other 92 spots with people they don't really like but have to be nice to anyway, or don't know that well, etc. etc. Real life isn't Facebook or Myspace, and this isn't that surprising.
#49 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:52am by tiedyejedi
(+1)8 good friends makes you way happier than having 38 sort-of-friends that aren't a consistent positive in your life. also, dont forget about old friends, work friends, acquaintances, family and family friends...and you might be able to add a few to your list.
#50 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:53am by gypsyCajun
(+1)No one else has said it yet, but major congrats on the promotion! How exciting for you!
#51 - On 05/03/2009 at 10:56am by doomkitten19
(0)at least you have 8 really good friends.
who needs acquaintances to send you off? a party of 8 close friends is more than enough :D
@32: what are you? 12? i wonder how many of those 100 friends of yours are going to be there through your hard times.
#55 - On 05/03/2009 at 11:21am by barlessprison
(0)Its better to have a few best friends than to have a lot of people you semi-know. The party will be much more meaningful that way, and wtf? why aren't your friends throwing the party for you. sounds like you need new friends. Go out and make some. :)
#56 - On 05/03/2009 at 11:27am by insane_chick
(0)i just had a wedding where only about half the people we invited actually came and it was the best day of my life! 8 people for your party will be fabulous! enjoy the company of the truly meaningful people in your life.
#57 - On 05/03/2009 at 11:27am by WillGetBetter
(0)I've seen stores that only carry 100+ packs for invitations. Maybe he'll be able to use the rest at a later date.
Hell, the average American only has 1 real friend, if that.
#58 - On 05/03/2009 at 11:27am by cindolin
(0)That's honestly not that big a deal. There are a lot of people who call themselves my "friends" but I can't stand them. The close friends are the ones who are going to stay in touch with you, if they really care.
(0)the same way with me, believe me. for parties i only invite 3 people.
#63 - On 05/03/2009 at 11:41am by nolifeatall
(+1)A couple of really good friends is better then a lot of so-so friends. I'm sure I won't be the only one to say this.
(0)That's okay. I only have like... six. M, T, R, O... Uhm... Haaaah, wow I actually have to think about this. I guess I only have four.
But O and T are my biffles. R is getting there, and M is a good friend too.
Hey, think about it this way, at least you have twice as many friends as I do!
#68 - On 05/03/2009 at 11:59am by SiLveRStaRLIGHT
(0)if you only had 8 people to invite, why buy a 100 pack? did you not realize you only have 8 friends?
#69 - On 05/03/2009 at 12:00pm by alyssamarie218
(0)What the heck? When you were in the store and counted how many invitations you needed, did you count each friend like 12 times or something? Or do simply not know how to count to 8?
#70 - On 05/03/2009 at 12:22pm by sailor0703
(0)dont kill urself over it...u can invite me...:D lol jk jk
#72 - On 05/03/2009 at 12:25pm by thatsbull95
(0)Who the hell has 100 friends? Don't worry about it, you have eight friends who care very much about you. If you want more people there, then invite your family too.
#73 - On 05/03/2009 at 12:33pm by BeautyAndBrains
(0):S At school, I'd say I have at least 30 friends. And about 100 people who I would consider inviting to a party.
#74 - On 05/03/2009 at 12:50pm by Lambshanks
(0)This sounds like me...and probably will be if I have it my way by the end of '09.
True friends are hard to come by....you could always send the rest to your "acquaintences?"
The more the merrier :)
#77 - On 05/03/2009 at 1:35pm by Tori_in_progress
(0)8 good friends sounds like a pretty damn good amount to me! And HEY what do you care anyways? You're going away... FOREVER!

#86 - On 05/03/2009 at 2:39pm by ROLLSROYCE
It's not about quantity, it's about quality. I'd rather have one best friend than 100 acquaintances.
#87 - On 05/03/2009 at 2:41pm by Abood
(+1)seriously as you get older you realize how few "good" friends you actually have and how many friends you lose overtime. You don't realize how many friends you lose until you are about to graduate college and then once you graduate you lose even more because most of those "friends" were just people that you drank and partied with and that was it and well after college you can't do that as much anymore. luckily I got one more year with some "friends" :).
#88 - On 05/03/2009 at 2:55pm by Pitaace
(0)hey if those are your real friends, you're lucky. invite a bunch of acquaintances or casual friends to add to the party if you want.
(0)Invite your co-workers? That'll take up more space at the party and you won't feel so bad after that.
#92 - On 05/03/2009 at 3:19pm by aseretkavon
(0)YDI for buying a pack of 100 invitations when you only have 8 friends. How do you make that kind of mistake?
(+1)Eight is good. I would only have 10 people coming to my party. One of them is my cousin and another one is my girlfriend. Feel good that there are 8 people you can rely on, and not 92 who don't even know your last name.
(0)Maybe instead of feeling sorry for yourself on the internet, you should go make some more friends.
#96 - On 05/03/2009 at 4:05pm by Natural_Mystic
(0)This does not make sense if you mailed them then how do u have them again?
#97 - On 05/03/2009 at 4:49pm by dj87jetsfootball
(0)8 is not bad at all lol, i have like 3 friends only -_- and am about to graduate high school, imagine that, and i am gonna get separated from them as i leave for college leaving me with 0 friends, at least until i find some new people where i go to...FML
also as #1 said i would rather have 1 or 2 good friends than 100s of people who come just for the food
(0)Well why the hell would you buy 100 cards if you only have 8 friends?!
#100 - On 05/03/2009 at 5:46pm by Person_Man
(0)Having a couple of realy close friends is WAY better than inviting 100 people who really could care less that you are leaving forever.
(0)Your life would suck more if no one shows up! HA HA HA
#102 - On 05/03/2009 at 6:08pm by industrial2021
(0)8 close friends is better than 100 "I've met this person and am going to call them my friend even though I probably only know their name". I have a few close friends, and that's good enough for me since they are so freakin awesome. Besides, food for 100 people? Come on. Ridiculous. Have a great party!!!!!!
#104 - On 05/03/2009 at 6:23pm by ILoveJace01
(0)If you have 8 people who you can call friends that's pretty damn good. it's better than having one or 2 or even no close friends. Besides, who wants to have 100 crappy friends?
(0)haha why the hell would you buy 100??
but it's okay. close friends are better than lotsa not closeo ones.
(0)Im with #1 and 2 on this one. I would want a few close friends who love and support me than 100 friends who dont know me that well and dont support me nearly as much as the others do! Go celebrate with them!!!
#108 - On 05/03/2009 at 8:27pm by 88bellydancer
(0)ill be your friend if there is cake at the party
#109 - On 05/03/2009 at 8:31pm by waterpoloweasel
(0)agree with #11... and wtf to #15...
its nice to have real close friends... but get a smaller pack of cards next time
(0)hahahhahahaaaaaaahaahhahahahahaahaha thats hilarious!!
ahhh man lmfao!
oh wait, you were serious?
#112 - On 05/04/2009 at 4:15am by SummerTime98
(0)I don't get why you got a 100 pack of invitations. But there's nothing wrong with having 8 friends. I only have a few friends and everyone else is acquaintances (or facebook "friends"). No one I'd invite to a party.
(0)I have the opposite problem to you , be grateful you're not surrounded by loads of shallow relationships! Good luck with ur new life!
(0)idk why buy 18 made me laugh a lot.
theres nothing "fml" about this. i only have like 4 friends that i'd invite to a party. after i graduated high school i stopped talking to a lot of people that were just dramatic. seems i'm way happier now. quality>quantity ftw
#118 - On 05/04/2009 at 10:30pm by shawnarawwwrr
(0)I'm going to be frank, you really are a loser. You get surprised you have litlle friends and then you go and waste your time writting about it online. You should be going out there and meeting new people instead of talking to people online you'll never see.
Quality is still better than quantity.
(0)Who the hell sends out invitations to 7 people? You're using this site so I'm thinking you know what EMAIL is...
(0)YDI for buying so many. How wasteful. You should have a rough estimate of how many friends you have. Should have just made a Facebook event or something.
#121 - On 05/08/2009 at 3:20am by ilovemycats
(0)yeah. but when you think about it, your going to have those 8 Friends there, you can have alot more fun with just your closest friends there. As I like to say in these situations... The More the Crappier.
(0)Eight is actually a really good number of friends. It's six more than I have, if that makes you feel better, and I think of myself as being lucky to have that many.
(0)This, and the sexual harassment one, are the only decent illustrations they've had so far. the others are all horrible.
(0)This illustration is fucking terrible. Why did this one need to be illustrated in the first place?
(0)The illustration is horrible. Ugh.
And the dialogue could have been much, much better.

#135 - On 05/30/2009 at 4:25pm by infest0125

#12 FYL. On Facebook I have about one-hundred something friends, but I only talk to two of them, both on FB and MSN.
(0)who cares...i have many friends and i only really like about 3 of them...better to have nice friends than to have fake people surrounding you 24/7 365.
#142 - On 05/30/2009 at 7:47pm by hawt_leah_foshiz
(0)that sucks:(
but at least you'll have the people you REALLYY care about! I'd rather have 8 close friends than 100 just "i think i know your name" friends! :) have fun!!!! Definitely quality over quantity!
#143 - On 05/30/2009 at 8:42pm by sxyblnd307
(0)lol that really is sad
i gotta ask why do you have a facebook accountif you only use it with like a couple of people? i talk to like 70 of my friends on facebook out of like 250 on my account. seriously all you need to do is send out heaps and no one cares who's party it is just that heaps of people will be there and that they can come to!
(0)waitt..
why are you throwing your own going away party?
#145 - On 05/30/2009 at 9:16pm by xohockeygal5
(0)@145 The same reason the OP only needed 8 invitations
#146 - On 05/30/2009 at 9:31pm by save_me_08
(0)It's better to have one true friend than none at all. Don't feel bummed you only have to send out eight invitations. To the people you're sending them to, you know they're your real friends that you'll want to spend your last day in town with, so just enjoy yourself : )
(0)To say you have at least one friend worth inviting - says a lot about you :)
i may have more than 8 "friends" but there are probably less than 8 that i'd invite somewhere.. i'm sure you're in the same boat.
(0)dude, just have a bunch of parties and invite the same 8 friends over and over agian, you never know when u might see them agian so keep the party goin lol
(0)You drew it wrong; he bought it and THEN he noticed it. It doesnt make it funny anymore.
#151 - On 05/31/2009 at 12:15am by GossipGirl34
(0)32-No, you fail. Have you ever heard about quality over quantity?
I have about a dozen true friends. I can name every one of their favourite movies, favourite types of food, all their pets, all their siblings, their favourite tv show, I know each one of their houses inside and out. I can name their worst fears and their favourite ice cream flavour, and I know each one of them like I know myself.
Can you say the same about all of your "friends"?
Remember, Facebook is not real life. OP's 8 friends>your 100.
(0)I'm sure you'll make tons of friends where you are going. Good luck.
#154 - On 05/31/2009 at 2:37am by Twelvepercent
(0)=__( I'm sorry, that is so messed up! 1 friend or a 1000, as long as you got someone there with you then you are doing fine =).
#155 - On 05/31/2009 at 4:36am by LouieG2OO7
(0)people only really have 4 REAL friends, that would have probably been a pandemic if you used all 100 of those invites :P
(0)Agree with #7. You want the party to be with the people you really care about, not just random people to fill a room.
(0)Congrats on the promotion. And #5 and #7 are right.
And I would like to agree with #157.
The illustration really doesn't match up.
#159 - On 05/31/2009 at 12:02pm by writerchick11
(0)Dear FML staff,
Just because the artist is supposed to interpret the FML themselves doesn't mean you have to accept the ones that suck.

(0)the illustration sucks. The way the OP wrote it was better...
#161 - On 05/31/2009 at 12:53pm by MizzHollywood
(0)Don't worry, I can only think of 4 people I would have invited if I were in the same situation.
Who has 100 friends anyway? That's stupid.

#168 - On 05/31/2009 at 4:57pm by spillproof
(0)just pretend like the other 92 people arent cool enough to go to your party so you didnt invite them , but wow
(0)I wouldve figured out how many to invite before buying invitations, because you can buy them in MUCH smaller packs. Like, for instance, 8. On the bright side, extra for next time!
(0)i'd rather invite my 8 closest friends than 100 people i barely know.
#172 - On 05/31/2009 at 10:05pm by funkymunkey00
(0)This FML is good, but the illustration sucks. Just because the guy had "only" 8 close friends means he's also pudgy with a bad haircut? Fail.

(0)If they are true friends, then consider yourself lucky! a lot of people have a hard time finding 1 good friend. :] so smile.

(0)Wait, so you actually MAILED stuff to your friends???
Dude, it's the 2000's. It's called email.
Duh. =]

(0)Not to kill half of your points, but there's no definite that the 8 friends he could think of would be good friends. They could be crappy acquaintances just like yall call the other 100 people.
And for those of you who say you can't have a lot of friends I guess haven't really tried. I've lived several different places and have at least 10 really good friends still from each place. If you work on your relationships with each person, you can have a lot of really good friends. Sometimes high quantity does not mean low quality.
(0)This isn't even FML worthy.
I've tried to post some really fucked things, and they never got posted, but this shit made it through?
Someone's not moderating well.

(0)if you are looking at the illustration in this fml read where the last quote is coming from...it will make you laugh
(0)29,
If you had a 100 pack you would have 200 left over?
I'm proud of you too, because I thought that was impossible.

(0)definitely quality of friends than quantity of friends. hope it went well!

(0)oh it's coming from the guy with the red hair, WOW, i just realized that lol, now it makes sense haha, so funny!
#188 - On 06/01/2009 at 10:32pm by Scotticus117
(0)#178: Uh... yes, the user who submitted an FML clearly doesn't have that much access to a computer... o-o;;
(0)a small party is so much better than a huge party! then you are always the center of attention for your night. and compared to the lame small talk you'd make with people you've only met once, it will be so much better. just remember: having 100 iffy friends cannot compete with a small group of true and amazing friends.

(0)lol this illustrated FML just makes the OP look like a creeper. xD

(0)dude none of the illustrations on this site are good. seriously where the hell are they getting their artists?
192 - Totally off-topic. Please go fuck yourself.
12 - He feels bad because he only has 8 friends. You, obviously, don't mind only having 2 friends. Not that that's a bad thing. It's just a difference.
OP - I say it's better to have less good friends, than tons of bad friends. Good friends meaning people that actually GIVE a shit about you, as oppose to bad friends who honestly don't know why they even hang out with you.
To sum it up: You're gonna be fine.
#193 - On 06/02/2009 at 6:28pm by Rawrasaur
(0)Would you want a party with 100 people? That'd suck, you wouldn't get to talk to anyone really, you'd be too busy making sure everything went well. 8 is so much better.
(0)It's ok. I only have about 5 friends. Deff quality over quantity in this situation, I hope.
#195 - On 06/02/2009 at 7:20pm by AuriPantz
(0)Just send each of them 12. It will also keep them from forgeting. =)
#200 - On 06/03/2009 at 4:30pm by Sweet_child_NOT
(0)#12 - FYL indeed. No offence, but either your personality stinks or you live in a cave with your two friends. Unless you mean like two /best/ friends, but if you really mean there's only two people in the world that like and care about you, FYL.
(0)Even if I have a bunch of friends, I'll proabaly just invite the ones closest to me. If you have just 8 friends, I'd say your life is pretty sad, but if you have 8 GOOD friends... you're set dude!

(0)i like how almost every comment on here is essentially saying the same thing. wow. :)
#204 - On 06/04/2009 at 10:40pm by HummingBirdsFly
(0)i guess the real question is if you did use all one hundred invitations how many of the people that showed up would you ligitimatly WANT there
(0)Dude it's cool. I have tons and tons of friends and they don't even care about me. I'd rather have one friend who does care about me.
(0)lol loser i hate all these overly sympathetic douche bags on here. ydi for not being a fun person to be with.
#212 - On 06/07/2009 at 8:08pm by bitterpill1
(0)i agree with peoc my aunt always told me to look out for yourself and a few REALLY REALLY REALLY close and good friends cuz really most of them dont give a fuck bout u and its true
#216 - On 06/12/2009 at 12:26am by noodles_200
(0)ha I'm the same way, i was taking a quiz where i had to name 11 friends and I couldn't name any after 8..lol
#218 - On 06/14/2009 at 5:22pm by CassandraBear93
(0)wah. you want more friends, and can't have them.
I have a dozen or so friends. If I was leaving town again, I couldn't invite them all to a party. It simply doesn't happen. We all have lives. We get together as small groups on occasion, but I can't think of many times we've all ended up in the same room at the same time. 3 or 4 for drinks here. 3 or 4 show up at someone's house there.
I did move across the country. My "moving" party was me and my girlfriend, packing the truck. When we were done, we drove to a few friends places to give away some stuff that we couldn't take with us. Then we were gone. Of course, we flew home on occasion, and had a great time with a few friends at a time. Sometimes those visits were pretty busy, because we'd have made arrangements with various people at different places. I wonder what it's like where you can invite everyone to show up at once. :)
I don't send invitations to my friends to met up. I do something that may sound weird. I call and ask them when we can get together, and oh my gosh does that work well. No invitations. No RSVP's. We get together, have lots of fun, and end up with some good memories of it all.
(0)#219, do you feel better now? You must be one of those people that love to hear themselves talk, so then it also contaminates your ability to shut up on the internet. It's ok, dear. They make medication for that.
#220 - On 06/15/2009 at 11:08am by Sweet_child_NOT
(+1)im only good enough friends with around 10 or 12 people to invite to an event like that so its notttttt a big deal
#221 - On 06/16/2009 at 7:45pm by dr_house_MD
(0)How did this one even make it on to FML? Really this isn't bad at all. Its better to have a few good friends than lots of friends that aren't "good" friends. Remember "Everyone's friend is no one's friend."
#223 - On 06/19/2009 at 12:00am by Skynet1121
(0)uhh... family, co-workers, school-mates, and neighbors, all invited to bring one guest.
if you really have to have a lot of people..pshhh
(0)well all u need is to keep them and use them for some other party
#226 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:02pm by anonymous_guy
(0)The worst part is, this is a woman. The illustration looks like a fat man!
#228 - On 06/21/2009 at 9:21pm by Horsegal
(0)look on the bright side
less people to pay attention to, to remember their birthdays and what not, to comfort them when they're crying about nothing over the phone
if you look at it like that...friends are pretty overrated :p
#230 - On 06/23/2009 at 3:57am by roundnproud
(0)i know that its not easy to tell that the person in the green is a woman
but really i could tell easily because of the chest area
yea its not exactly normal but its still noticeable
(0)anyone would rather 8 close, trust-worthy friends than 100 faux friends!
#236 - On 07/05/2009 at 8:55am by silly_kate
(0)You miscounted how many friends you have? Also, I agree with #236.
#237 - On 07/07/2009 at 12:08am by pietastesgood
(0)Aww, I'm sure they're really good friends, better than a bunch of fake friends.
Look on the bright side, you can make some more friends wherever you're going! (:
#238 - On 07/13/2009 at 4:01am by maybe_tomorrow
(0)That's not really a FML moment... A few close friends is better than a bunch of friend you can't count on or no friends at all.
I know hundreds of people I would consider "friends" but if it came down to it I only have about 5-10 REAL friends.
(0)Quality over quantity, a few close friends is almost infinitely better than a bunch of random friends. That's not an FML moment at all.
#243 - On 08/28/2009 at 8:04pm by Stormblazer
(0)I'm not popular and I'm not a loser but I have more than 8 friends.

(0)Fuck that worker Insensitive prick made me angry as hell if he really said that!
#254 - On 02/25/2010 at 11:50pm by tamaldasagofan89
(0)Wow if someone told me what that guy in the comic said, I'd make sure he got fired xD well not really but it would definitely make me pissed.
I don't care about having 100 friends or even a million friends, I don't need that, I already got my circle of friends that I can really trust. I have a load of "friends" anyway, but really, all we do is say hi and say happy bday on each other's fb. Quality over quantity.
(0)M I the only one who noticed the box guy looks like Edward cullen?
#256 - On 04/03/2010 at 10:43pm by Chibineko223
Quality over quantity. I only have a few friends myself, but I'd do just about anything for 'em. I blame this "quantity over quality" thing on Facebook, who says everyone is friends. "You and the guy you rarely if ever talk to but you see once a week at the coffee shop are now "friends"." Right, friends...
Are the people on Facebook with 1500 friends really that impressive? No, it just means they can't manage their friends list for shit.
Quality > quantity.
