Today, I went to a garden party my friend had invited me to. I soon discovered they had seriously downplayed the formality of the event, as I noticed trays of fancy hors d'oeuvres and glasses of champagne lined up on the table. I showed up with Kool Aid and Ritz crackers. FML

Today, I found out I wasn't invited to my neighbor's funeral, with whom I had been good friends with for a long time. When I asked her husband why, he said, "We have a small amount of money and can't afford for you to eat all of the refreshments." FML

Today, I was having a dinner party. My guests were getting along really well. I mean, really well; it turns out they all went to the same high school. For the next five hours, I hosted a high school reunion for a school I didn't even go to, in my own home. FML

Today, I had to turn down an invitation to one of my best friend's birthday party because I had been scheduled to work. Little did I know that my job on that day would be setting up the tents, tables, and chairs for that very birthday party. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I set up a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Today, it was my first day at a new job as a waitress for a wedding function centre. As I was opening the door to collect dirty plates from the guests, I bumped into a colleague carrying a tray full of full champagne glasses, all of which fell and smashed on the floor. FML

Today, I got a call from my friend who invited me to a theme party. It was a goth theme, and I decided to get real into it. I put on a trench coat, black skin tight pants, and black paint under the eyes. When I got there I was greeted by a kid in a pink popped collar. It wasn't a theme party. FML

Today, everyone at work was demanding I stage a party at my house. I agreed to it and rushed home to tidy up before the guests arrived. No one showed up. FML

Today, my friends were acting strange around me. This afternoon, I got a text asking me to meet them out for a couple of drinks. Because of all the strange acting, I decided to tell them I'd go and then not go. I just found out they had been planning me a surprise party. FML

I'm more concerned as to where OP got Kool-aid from, I don't think I've ever seen it sold in the UK. However OP is from Slough so probably one of the shops that has cheap stuff from everywhere...

#64 Actually there's sweet shops that stock American sweets (and sachets of Kool-Aid mix) in many places in the UK and Ireland (Mr. Simms is an example of this)

FYL. They should've been truthful to you about how formal it was. Hopefully you were not made fun of for showing up like that.

Well it doesn't hurt if the person asked. I normally do when I am unsure.

I agree with you but it still would have been nice if they told the OP.

Who doesn't enjoy kool-aid? You should've just said you weren't planning on having any alcohol so you brought a non-alcoholic alternative

You're gonna be the highlight of the party! I'd pick kool-aid over champagne any day.

The foods are pretty sorry for how much they cost, too. Take Caviar. It's an acquired taste, yet its price suggests that it's some sort of delicacy. If I wanted something tasty, I'd just drop by the closest fast food place. Then again, I never really had any sense of class to begin with.
