Today, I was at a goodbye dinner with friends before I move back to America. A friend called to cry over relationship problems she refuses to fix. While I was outside trying to politely get off the phone, my friends ate and drank everything I'd ordered and closed the bill. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my friends and I were going to Applebee's. A girl we don't like invited herself along. She waited for my friend outside of the bathroom, forced her to drive her, and said, "It's okay someone will pay for me." She then ate off of everyone's plate and left before the bill came. FML
Today, I was saying goodbye to all my close friends before I move out of state. I'd made plans with one friend in particular to meet up before I move away; he didn't bother to respond to my message or calls. Guess I confused a coworker for a friend, huh? FML
Today, my best friend came over for dinner and a movie. Moments after arriving, she spent an hour on the phone, and ended up accepting another invitation before leaving. I guess it's dinner for one tonight. FML
Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML
Today, my friend took me and a bunch of other guys out to a nice dinner. This was his way to say thank you for helping him move to a new apartment. He got the cheque, excused himself to go to the restroom and never came back to pay. FML
Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML
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
Today, my date received food she didn’t order, and instead of eating it without complaint, she sent it back. When I got up to leave, she began to cry. FML
Today, I served my good friend and his girlfriend at the restaurant where I work. They did a "dine and dash". FML
Today, I was invited to a birthday dinner at a restaurant. As I was leaving, I get a text from the birthday girl's boyfriend saying that it was cancelled. Hungry, I decided to go to that particular restaurant anyway. Turns out the party wasn't cancelled. Half the party just didn't want me there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Be glad you are moving if those are the kind of people you will be leaving behind!

Maybe you'll make some better friends in America.

YDI for answering during dinner.

I would say you need to be more assertive, because that was probably more than a 30 minute phone call.

I don't answer my phone while eating, either at home or at a restaurant. Perhaps OP needs to learn this?

The profile says Tokyo, Japan. Completely different culture. They would be the ones to find OP's behavior extremely selfish and rude. But even though I'm not from Japan, I still find OP's behavior rude.

ah, but the FML says move back to america so he/she may have been on a work visa that expired or doing student exchange so he/she more than. likely hadn't entirely adapted to their culture yet

You should have attended your party. Keeping people waiting when they are there to see you off is exceptionally rude. You should have let the call go to voicemail and called them back after dinner. You must have been outside for awhile if the people who attended had time to eat, drink and pay. Have to say YDI. It is not the responsibility of the people who did come to see you off to waste their time while you were on the phone. And they paid! Sorry, I would take offense to you leaving your own party.

Don't worry, we've got plenty of food over here when you get back. We haven't been getting any thinner since you've been gone. Try a KFC Double Down if you really missed America's penchant for gluttony.

Sorry to go slightly off topic. That double down shit lasted five minutes where I'm at in Canada. I liked the concept, but it was ******* horrible.

#52, it may have even been considered too disgusting even by American standards. I couldn't even bring myself to try one. I am looking for the Chicken and Waffles chips, though.

46, That's what I've been driving at. All the OP's friends seem to be butts. I simply insinuate that there may be a reciprocal determinism relationship between all of them.

Shut up already. We understood your entire point the first time you made it.
