Miscellaneous: Today, I was at a goodbye dinner with friends before I move back...

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

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

Real friends

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, 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

Overly emotional

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 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

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

If you were gone long enough for them to finish the food, it's YDI. It's common courtesy to not talk on the phone while out for dinner with group of friends too.

You should have just hung up after screaming "you're so selfish--I'm leaving and you'll never see me again" and then went back to America.

*I -an't hear -ou. I will ha-- to call yo- back.* -click- sounds rude but if they finished all the food by the time you were back it seems like you we're gone a long time. Seems like a reasonable time to use the "I can't hear you" trick.

You should have hung up. You were either going to be rude to your friend on the phone or to all the other friends you left inside the restaurant to deal with her.
