Today, I found out that my "friends" only invite me to their parties when they need a designated driver. Apparently I'm "not fun" because I don't drink, which "ruins the party". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, all my friends had a huge party and 'forgot' to invite me. They only remembered about me at 2 am when they called asking for rides home because they were all too drunk to drive. FML
Today, I'm the designated driver for a Christmas party I wasn't even invited to. Not only do I get to watch people have a good time, but I'm also supposed to not get involved in the party. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML
Today, my "best friend" invited me to drink with her and a couple other friends. She told me to "just bring a few bucks for beer". When I got there, no one else had brought money, including her. They only invited me because I'm the only one with a job. FML
Today, I found out my best friend had 3 birthday parties for herself over the weekend. I wasn't invited to any of them. When I asked her why, she said I "didn't fit in" to any of the groups that were at the parties. All my other friends were invited. FML
Today, I found out my "best friends" have gone on a crazy weekend and they didn't invite me. 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
Today, it was my friend's 18th birthday. She had invited us out drinking. I've never had alcohol before and was very excited. I got a call explaining that she had invited one too many and asked me not to come. People bragging on Facebook about what a great time they were having didn't help either. FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML
Today, I was told I'm not invited to my best friend's birthday party. Apparently, being divorced and childless doesn't "mesh" well with the rest of the group. My parents are still watching her kids so she can go away for the weekend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Clearly they don't know how to party if they remember one person wasn't drinking.

The absence of logic is strong in your friends.

I'd screw them over then and quit going to the parties. Make them find a new driver.

Sometimes having an odd man out can be just as awkward as being the odd man out. But sometimes you just need someone to drive the car. Run stupid races, I'm pretty sure they don't walk back to the starting line if it's not a loop. White water rafting? Someones gotta drive. it's ok to have friends that use you for something as long as you get something of value out of the relationship. If not, time to find more friends.

It's a good thing you don't drink...but you are in control...take them somewhere safe but unknown to them so they know not to be jerks to you

I hate the people who go to parties and can't have fun with their friends without alcohol. It's pathetic that they can't enjoy themselves at a party with all their friends without needing to drink. If you can't have a good time with a group of friends at a party or other social gathering without needing to drink then you're just a boring person in general and need new friends.

This is literally what happens to me. My friend only invites me because I can drive. She drinks the entire time and I have to drive her home.

I used to be like that. As in - I'd be the designated driver (mostly), because I used to work all weekend with a 6am start. So I really didnt care that I drove. (I had the nicest car, anyway). But then I bought a ute. Only fitting 1 other person meant I couldnt drive everyone anymore... sooooo....... New friends, for you, OP...

They are the ones who need to get drunk to have fun, while you don't.
