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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

To those saying it is the OP's fault for having their birthday the day of the film premiere, or that bad fiction is greater than them: SHUT. THE. HELL. UP. I despise you people for thinking that some of the worst literature written in the modern era is automatically a better thing than a friend. Face it: Harry Potter sucks, and your behaviour is no different than nonviolent religious fanatics. Learn to accept that reality is significantly better than fiction. Stop masturbating to your Harry Potter book and go look at the world.

God bless you, man. Finally, someone who doesn't have their head shoved up Harry Potter's fictional ass. I've read all the Harry Potter books, liked them, and will probably go see the movie, but for god's sake my friends are a LITTLE bit more important than a stupid movie premiere. You can go see it the next day!! All of you who said YDI for having your birthday party the day of the premiere are HORRIBLE people and you don't deserve any friends. I hope all of your friends, if you even have any considering what huge nerds you are, reject your birthday parties to go see a movie that you hate.

Damn, i wish HP came out on my B/day. You're too stupid to realize your luck. Socializing, btw, can happen any time, premieres are events, long awaited premieres are an even bigger deal.

DUDE!! Its HARRY POTTER!! Nothing else matters. You can probably make your party going to see the movie and then back to your house for an after party.

I agree with your friends. Harry Potter FTW. I'm sorry but I wouldn't go either. Harry Potter is way too important. Just choose a different day to have your party. You can wait a little bit longer.
