Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML
Today, I found out why my parents forgot my birthday. Facebook didn't remind them. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandma posted about it on her Facebook wall, but people got confused and thought it was her birthday instead. She got twice as many birthday wishes as I did, and that's including the ones I got outside of Facebook. FML
Today, it was my birthday. None of my family members wished me a happy birthday and neither did the 1,000+ "friends" I have on Facebook either. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML
Today, my mom wished her best friend a Happy Birthday on Facebook. Her best friend died this year. Oh, did I mention that it’s also my birthday? FML
Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents wished me a happy one via text message. We live in the same house. FML
Today, I checked my fake Facebook account for the first time in ages and realized that the "fake me" got more birthday greetings than the "real me." FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only people who wished me a happy birthday were the ones who saw the "birthday boy" poster my sister plastered around school, which included a photo of me as a kid dressed up as a girl. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why do people get upset when their attempts to fish for attention/compliments fail? Don't set yourself for disappointment if you can't handle it.

if you attempt to trap people and garner attention to prove a moot point, you will ALWAYS be disappointed. I bet if you hadn't pulled this stupid stunt your mom would have wished you a happy birthday when it actually was your birthday. and even if she didn't. what ******* difference does it wait? you didn't do jack shit to make that day special. all that you did was to not die. you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. you are the same decaying organic matter as everything else. GET OVER IT.

That's an awful thing to do. Friends that think they know your birthday will go to post, but when they see they don't have a notification they will probably check the date. Then they will think they just got the date wrong and won't post. It mostly your fault, not theirs. After all, why would your friends think you would lie about your own birthday on your Facebook?

Well maybe she thought that she had the wrong date and wanted to be the first to wish u a happy birthday. Its ur fault really. Y would ppl think u would lie about ur own birthday. Ur mom was just confused and didn't know it was a test. Forgive her.
