Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. FML

Today, I'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. FML

Today, I found out my best friend had 3 birthday parties for herself over the weekend. I wasn't invited to any of them. When I asked her why, she said I "didn't fit in" to any of the groups that were at the parties. All my other friends were invited. FML

Today, it was my best friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend and I agreed to organize a dinner date to surprise her and celebrate. They celebrated, but forgot me until they arrived at the restaurant and saw the dinner reservation under my name. FML

Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML

Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML

Today I found out my husband was throwing a 50th surprise party for me, and no one RSVP'd because of my best friend starting arguing with everyone in a group text. This was going to be the first big party or surprise party that I'd ever had. FML

Today, I learned that the surprise party thrown for my girlfriend's 19th birthday was wonderful and she couldn't be happier. Except that I didn't show up. Apparently 40 people were invited but I wasn't one of them. We've been going out for three years. FML

Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. FML

I'm sure it won't be the first time she faked an "Ohh!" face.

Good manners always end well. You should never said a thing to your friend!!! If you were not invited there was a reason. Keep your big mouth shut in the future!!!!!

someone's a touch resentful. and anyway, if your so called best friend had not invitied you to a party and you didn't know why, you'd like to know why right? exactly.

76 I think you're the one who needs to shut up...preaching about good manners and then telling someone to keep their "big mouth shut". OP did nothing wrong. She confronted her best friend about something that bothered her. How was she supposed to know she was ruining a surprise?

76 is correct. Inviting yourself is tacky; questioning someone about not being invited is entitled. What would be a positive outcome of challenging someone for not extending a courtesy? You will just end up the a$$hole.

^ and you clearly didn't read the FML OP didn't invite herself. She asked her best friend why she wasn't invited to her party. It's called communication. It's what makes relationships and friendships WORK. You people are ridiculous.
