Today, I ran into an old friend, and she remarked how she couldn't believe we hadn't seen each other in a year. Except not only did I attend her baby shower a few weeks ago, I spent hundreds of dollars on a unique gift. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend for whom I used to have feelings. I hadn't seen her in years, so I thought it would be funny if I went up to her and said, "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you?" She thought I had really forgotten her and burst into tears. FML

Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML

No show

Today, I can't seem to let go of what my family had done. Years ago, they spent hundreds, if not a thousand, for gifts on a family friend's baby shower, yet have bought nothing for my shower, which was two months ago, not to mention none of them attended the shower either. They've had the registry for 5 months, and I'm due in 3 days. FML

Birthday Bitch

Today, I received an angry phone call from a friend whose birthday party I missed last night. Yesterday, I gave birth to my son. She claims that I ruined her party and demands I still bring her a birthday gift. FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, I ran into an old friend at the grocery store and told them, "Let’s catch up soon!" We then ran into each other in every single aisle. It got awkwarder and awkwarder, and by the fifth time I was pretty sure neither of us wanted to see the other ever again. FML

One-sided

Today, after I spent quite some time getting thoughtful gifts for my friend and her kids ahead of their visit, she made a big fuss about how she'd "forgotten" to bring the gift she'd bought for me. Later, she casually admitted that she'd intentionally not bought me anything because she, "didn't think I'd need it." FML

Today, I hung out with a friend who has been too busy to hang out with me in a few months. I decided to make the day super special with fun plans and spent a lot of money doing so. When I got home, her Facebook status said, "Pointless day, gone to bed." FML

The exact same thing happened to me but instead of a babyshower it was her wedding.

That sucks :/ but considering you just went to her baby shower, I'm sure she's just been really busy with her new baby and REALLY sleep deprived, so try not to take it personally(:

Don't mind me * pulls up a couch and some popcorn* I'm just gonna sit here. Maybe egg some people on, throw some popcorn at others. As you were.

That's slightly more understandable though - you can get up to hundreds of people at a wedding

I don't know, I'd think I'd remember the name of the guy who gave me a motorcycle with custom decals and my initials engraved on the sides. Or something else pretty unique.

28- I do, and I don't even have kids. I'd say that's a very reasonable possibility. Also, how's OPs friend to know its some expensive gift? It'd almost say that's added to make their gift sound enhanced and thus their friend should be somehow MORE impressed.

My baby shower was a couple of months before I was due. In the last few weeks of pregnancy, I was so forgetful that I had to carry a memo pad with me to jot down whatever came into my head lest I forget where I was going and why, my symptoms, if I'd eaten, etc. Hormones are a bitch. After I had the baby, I was so sleep-deprived I forgot my baby's name and my husband's. I probably wouldn't have recognised any friends. The point is, if you can't cut a friend a little slack then buying an expensive baby gift was just for show. Money isn't the best measure of friendship.
