Today, I celebrated my 18th birthday. Alone. My only birthday wish came from the police officer who gave me a ticket. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, the only person to wish me a "Happy birthday" was the cop who'd pulled me over, as he handed me my ticket. FML
Today, the only person who wished me a happy birthday is the policeman who checked my identity card for being "suspiciously gangster-like". FML
Today, I had my 18th birthday party. At midnight, three police officers showed up at my door and asked if they could look around. Were we doing anything bad? Nope. My friends suck at parking. Before they left, the officers said that this was the most toned down party they'd seen in years. FML
Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML
Today, I was the designated driver. It was also my birthday party. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. 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

Sucks that you were alone, but what was the ticket for? I mean, we can't know for sure whether this is a FYL or YDI because we don't know the details. Happy Birthday, now you have more than one.

If you didn't want to be alone, grow up, get over yourself, and ASK one of your friends to hang out with you. I'm sick of people are their birthday sob stories. You want something to happen? Make it happen. You're eighteen, you should know better by now.

Hey, happy birthday. I can relate to the hurt your feeling. Make a resolution to have a better 19th birthday. Get out there, meet some people, and surround yourself with people you care for and who care about you. It's too much of a burden to go it alone in this world. Take some chances, open up to the world, and hopefully in 365 days you'll be celebrating. @48; Chill, dude. Not everyone is sociable and makes friends easily. Just because you can't relate to that doesn't mean you can't show some sympathy and compassion for the OP. You try celebrating your 18th birthday alone. Report back to me how it went.
