Today, I wanted to surprise my long distance girlfriend by flying to her unannounced. When I arrived at her house, her family tells me that she herself boarded an unannounced flight to where I lived hours ago. Surprise. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got back from my daughter's flat in Scotland. I got a flight there yesterday morning to surprise her on her 21st birthday. Nobody told her I was coming. When I got there, it turned out she decided to get a plane to London to surprise me. £200 on flights, and I didn't even get to see her. FML

Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday. To surprise her, I told her that I was going away on business, and could not be there on her birthday. When I show up at her house to surprise her with a present and cake, she opens the door in her underwear, beside a man in his boxers. She was surprised. FML
Today, I found out my friend has been texting my long distance boyfriend more than I do. When I confronted her about it, she confessed that it was because they had been planning a surprise appearance for me. I've never been surprised before, and I ruined my own surprise. FML

Today, knowing my long-distance boyfriend was cheating on me with a local girl, I decided to make a surprise visit to confront him by showing up to his home. Both of them answered the door.

Atleast you both get to meet the family if you hadn't before.

That's going to be one of the moments you will laugh at later. At least she cares! When I was reading I thought she was going to cheat on you.

Great minds think alike :P at least she wasn't there because she was trying to surprise you too - she could have been out on a date with another guy.

I think these "surprises" have a creepy subtext to them. The obvious message is "I miss you so much I just had to see you," but below the surface it says, "I can show up anytime, anyplace, so you'd better watch out." I guess it's good that you and your girlfriend are the same level of creepy.

55- I was thinking the same thing. This FML could be taken as really possessive and controlling.

Ok, so you've been given lemons. Make lemonade. Wait for her to get back and hide in her bed naked ;)

Terrible luck but I think that means you are meant to be together

Does she have a sister? I mean, it seems like a big effort to come up empty-handed. Few things are more depressing than a completely unsuccessful nookie run.
