Today, I facebooked my friends about my upcoming birthday party, and told them to keep the date free. I got several responses telling me that's not possible, because that's the day the new Harry Potter movie comes out. FML

Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML

Today, my friends told me they will be unable to attend my birthday party on Friday because they'll be watching the Vampire Diaries finale. FML

Today, my friends told me that they couldn't make it to my birthday dinner unless I changed the time, because I'd made dinner reservations that would clash with the new episode of Jersey Shore. FML

Today, I posted an event to have a get together with friends. Most of them put "not attending". I hadn't even set the date. FML

Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." FML

Today, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML

Today, I'm having my housewarming party and had prepared food, drink, and games for all the 19 confirmed guests on Facebook. I waited till 11, but nobody showed up. I checked Facebook again and realized I had accidentally put tomorrow as the party date. I have to work the whole day tomorrow. FML

Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. FML

Today, I discovered my friend will be upstaging my birthday by hosting another birthday party shortly afterwards. Not for her of course, but in honor of her favorite actor. FML

Today, I found out that when my friends say they're too busy to hang out with me, what they really mean is that they're going to have an awesome pool party, and don't want me to come. The Instagram stories say it all. FML

I would honestly have to agree. Opening night of Harry Potter matches no other.

I would totally ditch my friends birthday for a Harry Potter movie. Then again, none of my friends are stupid enough to have their birthday on that day

YDI for having your birthday party on the Harry Potter release date... duh. Check the freaking movie schedule. I would blow off anyone-ANYONE-if it was the date HBP comes out... seriously. Oh, FYL too, because obviously no one told you the important things in life: like not to expect sympathy when it comes to Harry Potter and release dates. Because everyone has July 15 booked. =)

1. i would never have this problem because all of my friends love harry potter anyways so we'd all be excited by the fact if one of our bdays was on opening day. 2. its called rescheduling, jeez.

Harry Potter party! Duh! YDI because Harry Potter is awesome and comes once every couple of years. Your birthday is every year. =p Although it'd be an FYL if they chose that god-awful Twilight shit over you.

Well, you have to make sure your friends are free before you schedule your birthday party, not the other way around. And obviously, a Harry Potter movie beats your birthday party. So either reschedule your birthday party, or go watch Harry Potter with your friends that day. This is a lame FML.

you should try to plan your life around important events like that, since Harry Potter is so much better than your pathetic little life.

obviously any avid Harry Potter fan (myself included) would skip some ******* party to go see the new film. It was supposed to come out in November, but no, they just had to wait. Suck it up!!
