Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML

This FML is from back in 2019 but it's good stuff
Goodbye
Today, my coworkers threw me a going away lunch, since I’m moving on to a better opportunity. Nothing reminds you why you’re leaving like being the last person to your own party, and picking over the minuscule amount of food scraps that are left. FML

Today, my boss left a lovely invitation to her wedding on my desk. I plan on resigning during our meeting later today. FML

Today, I was leaving work when I realized I had forgotten my bag on my desk. As I went back to get it, I overheard my co-workers talking about "last night's office party." I wasn't invited. FML

Today, after a big presentation, people sent an open invitation to dinner. When I asked which restaurant and what time, I was told that I wasn't invited. I've been here for three years. FML

Left out
Today, I saw some friends' cars at a friend's house, but thought nothing about it. Then I found pictures on Facebook of the pool party they had as a going away party for my friend, who is leaving the country for three months. I had no idea my friend was leaving, and I was the only one not invited. FML

Where am I?
Today, I thought I was going to a friend’s birthday party. Turns out, it was a surprise party for someone else... and I was the surprise. Everyone shouted “Surprise!” and I realized I wasn’t invited. I awkwardly ate a cupcake and left. FML

Today, I found out that my company was throwing a work picnic. When I showed up, I realized that it had been planned months ago and I wasn't supposed to find out. The entire staff was there, greeting me with faces of utter shock. Nothing says "you suck" more than being "that guy" at your job. FML

It's better than planning to leave and not getting a party to be honest.

Welcome to the world of unemployment. Hopefully you can find a new job better than I can.

Link? I looked through all the FMLs by 'nickname: Jobless', but didn't find it.

Fail, not a repeat. Maybe you read it on "moderate the FMLs"?

Learn to pay attention at work. Maybe if you did, you would have realized you were fired.

Some people at my work never seem to catch on that it time for them to leave, we had to throw the last one a surprise Going Away party. How can we miss you if you won't go away FML.

It would have been funnier if it was a surprise party. xD The look on your face would have been priceless.

Should have taken all the food there explaining you would need it to tide you over until you got another job.
