Today, for my birthday, my family offered to take one of my friends to the movies with me. I had to pay a random person in my class to pose as a friend of mine, so that I wouldn't look pathetic in front of my parents. She forgot my name three times. They didn't buy it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, it's my birthday and my friends and I went to our favorite pub to celebrate. As I'm a little broke at the moment, they all offered to buy me birthday drinks. Which I later learned meant that they would order them for me and bring them to the table, but put everything on my tab. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, I went to the movies with my crush, who had asked me out on a date. Assuming he'd pay, I left my money at home. When the time came to buy the tickets, he only bought one for himself. FML
Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My best friend called me at work and offered to take me out to lunch. When he went to pay for the meal, his card was declined so I told him not to worry and that I would pay for the birthday meal. He looked at me and said, "It's your birthday?" He was serious. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML
Today, my parents took me out to dinner. I thought they were taking me because it's my birthday. Turns out they are getting divorced. They forgot it was my birthday. FML
Today, I went to the movies on a date. I went to pay for the tickets when I realized that I didn't have my wallet. Instead of my boyfriend paying, he laughed and paid for his own ticket. Then he went ahead and saw the movie without me. 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 was let down for a movie date. As I'd already paid for the tickets, I got my narcoleptic sister to come and sit next to me while she slept, so it didn't look like I came on my own. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Go make some friends OP! It's not that hard. Just be yourself and I'm sure you'll find someone who wants to be your friend! If it doesn't work out, so be it and try again! YDI for trying to "buy" friendship. Anyways, happy birthday! :)

That is too sad, and your "friend" is a total bitch. If you get money for it then try to remember the ******* name.

Aww, don't worry OP, you'll fine someone at one point to be your friend! Just don't lie to your family - I'm sure they'll be supportive... :)

Did someone get so angry they forgot to hit the reply button?
Irishgypsy 2
Exactly. Haha

Y'know, go ahead and reach out to the OP. Let's see if you are sincere or just a big phony. Let me know how it goes. I'm betting the OP is an unbearable asshole, but I'll be happy for you to prove me wrong. I doubt you'll make the effort and you are just a fraud.

You seem to be an extremely sad person who enjoys pushing you short comings off on others. It's not that hard to sit on your high horse and judge people you don't know. Stop being a waste of skin and stealing the air of people who might actually care. See I can be an ass as well.

I'm not sad to point out the shortcomings of others like insincerely offering friendship. Your last post was unnecessary -- you've been making an ass of yourself all day.
Irishgypsy 2
And you continue to repeat yourself. Nice argument. Very original. I'd apologize for you having such a sad life but that my friend would be insincere.

I agreed with Perdixes point at first but it kind of went downhill from there...

I see what Perdix is really doing. He's using reverse psychology on you folks :D he's saying that you're a fake so that you DO contact OP. Wow Perdix who knew you were such a nice guy?! :P Don't worry OP, Perdix will help you make lots of friends.

#90, you're on the right track. I think it would be great if these people really did make an effort to befriend the OP. My gut tells me that if they do, they'll find out why the OP is so incredibly unpopular. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, so I hope people aren't being phony. I really am a nice guy. I just say shitty things for the laughs.

Perdix, I'm still holding you to your offers of celebrating your half-birthday, and going dutch on seeing Ted. Then maybe we can play some tennis afterwards? ;)

You should have just said you wanted to spend your birthday with your family. That way you wouldn't have to invite anyone.
