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.

That so sucks!! But that was so sweet of you.. And her. I'm sure you know now that It's always good to check with mutual friends or the other person's family when planning to surprise them.. Especially when you've got to fly to see them. But seriously, this was adorable to me and shows you really care about her & vice-versa. Even though you guys didn't get to hang, effort can mean just as much as the time actually spent together.

So romantic, so sad. One of you, go home quickly! (At least you've piled up Frequent Flyer miles for the next visit.)

On the bright side, it's extremely sweet that you both care enough about each other to plan a huge surprise like that! Just remember for next time though that it might be best to plan these things.

That's really sweet of you OP, and its good that you have the dedication and same level of commitment to one another. I would have at least called her parents or a firend to let them in on it.. just for that exact reason. Hopefully it wasnt too expensive! hope you still get to see her. Better luck next time.

At least you learned one very important thing, and that is... The two of you were made for each other and that's pretty cool!
