Anonymous · 27 March 2023, 06:00 ·Perth, Australia She noped out of that one 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 I agree, your life sucks 625 You deserved it 581 5 comments Share

Anonymous · 5 May 2025, 22:00 ·Seattle, United States Great party Today, I attended a party, thinking it was hosted by my friend. I showed up, mingled, had some drinks, and even played a couple of games. After about an hour, my friend called me and asked where I was. I'd crashed the wrong party.
