I hate surprises
Today, my family and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me, after I'd said multiple times that I didn't want one. I turned and left and now everybody is angry at me and calling me ungrateful and spoiled. FML

This going to be fun
Today, my wife asked me what I wanted for my upcoming birthday. Mindful of our budget, I said I just wanted to relax at home all day and then get a nice dinner with her. She blew up and yelled that I'm "using my birthday to be a lazy slug." FML

Ironic
Today, after five years in a row of my family doing absolutely nothing to even acknowledge my birthday, I got train tickets to see my boyfriend for the weekend and celebrate with him. I woke up to six angry texts about how I'm "selfish" for not staying at home with my family. FML

It isn't
Today, it's my birthday, none of my friends wished me a thing. I spent the whole day crying and then decided to call few of them and sobbingly demanded an explanation. Most of them didn't pick up, the rest called me a drama queen, saying that my birthday isn't as important as I think. 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, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML

Pulled a sneaky on you
Today, I found out that my work threw me a birthday party alongside my coworker’s birthday. Said coworker spread a rumor, telling everyone that I wanted each person to buy me flowers and cake. Everyone thought that I was a weirdo for asking for those things from them. I wasn't at work today. FML

unless the pillow is made of solid gold then they are a selfish brat. FYL

God, I feel so sorry for you if you can't even get a pillow for your birthday! I'm sorry op :(

It very well could be one of those memory foam pillows that cost over 100 dollars. I doubt that but I just wish we had a little more details. It would clear up some confusion.

has to be more to the story

How dare you?! A whole pillow just for yourself? Next thing you're going to ask for is a blanket as well!

If they said you're selfish, they must be sleeping on you, OP

Why would someone ask for a pillow? Really? Of all things in the world, you want a pillow?

you spend a third of your life sleeping why wouldn't you ask for a pillow? My bf and I bought a nice sheet set and better pillows and we sleep SO much better now.

Maybe it's a fancy memory foam pillow

I don't see the logic
PANDORUM89 21
what type of pillow is it? did you ask for something expensive and say something along the lines of that's the only thing I want and if you can't get it don't get me anything? My ex friend was like that and she would tell half truths like OMG my mom didn't get me the TV she promised me for my room. turns out her mother stood in line for 3 hours for the TV but it wasn't the exact one she wanted to she threw a fit so her mom returned it. again this is an EX friend lol

I'm surprised her mom didn't write an FML yet

Good. I'd do that too. So what if the TV isn't the one she wanted, as long as it works, it shouldn't matter. She should have been happy that they even bought her a TV for her room. Good thing you broke that friendship.
