Today, my friends told me they will be unable to attend my birthday party on Friday because they'll be watching the Vampire Diaries finale. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my friends told me that they couldn't make it to my birthday dinner unless I changed the time, because I'd made dinner reservations that would clash with the new episode of Jersey Shore. FML
Today, I facebooked my friends about my upcoming birthday party, and told them to keep the date free. I got several responses telling me that's not possible, because that's the day the new Harry Potter movie comes out. FML
Today, I lost a bet with friends and now have to sit and watch all the Twilight movies. FML
Today, I spoiled the ending of my favorite show for my friend, so now I'm banned from watching or discussing it with them. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML
Today, I discovered my friend will be upstaging my birthday by hosting another birthday party shortly afterwards. Not for her of course, but in honor of her favorite actor. FML
Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. 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, I was admitted to hospital for suspected kidney failure. I called my best friend to let her know I couldn't make it to her birthday party tonight. She seemed to be infinitely more upset that I wouldn't be able to give her a birthday present. FML
Today, all of my friends showed up an hour late for my 18th birthday party because they decided to go get dinner without me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well that's a scheduling issue on your end. However they do know about DVR, right?

It's not the worst thing that could happen. Turn on your TV and watch the suffering of people around the world, there are some people (and those constitute a considerable chunk of the world population) that will never get to know what a birthday is from poverty or war that the U.S usually happen to have a finger in, but that's a different story... Perhaps if you get to know those people it will be a sobering wake up call for you. If you want to relate more look in our own backyard!

You must be fun at parties

31- That whole "you aren't allowed to be sad because there are people who are worse off than you" thing is just a ridiculous outlook. It's like saying "you aren't allowed to be happy because there are people who are better off than you". I think OP's allowed to feel upset that her own friends don't want to come to her birthday party.

Thank you #31. I recently told someone the same exact thing.

#44: Of course she's allowed to be happy, nobody has denied her that and no one ever will or can but your self righteous cliché defense of her - right to express and feel- is a proof that the problem isn't the lack of communication which will fail with you 100% of the time. The msg is broaden your horizon, don't linger on trivialities, life will throw exponentially more difficult obstacles at you. Kids today get a tropy for crossing the street. The bar has never been set any lower, and the motivational words 'suck it up, and carry on' are out of the parenting vocabulary. Adults and kids alike are often disappointed at not getting what they haven't earned. By all means be sad that your friends didn't show up to your party and traded it to watch a mediocrity but if you're birthday isn't not worth skipping an unrealistic discounted crap drama then you're with the wrong crowd... Try to grasp in your easy bake oven head, #44, that a birthday is not worth celebrating with people not worth befriending!

You sound like one of those kids in high school who knows some big words and tells everyone not to conform. How about you sit down and don't tell people what they should be happy or sad about. Go find a soapbox for your misguided rants, but keep it off FML. OP is allowed to be sad that her friends want to watch TV instead of be with her. People are allowed to be sad.

81- Haha "easy bake oven head", I haven't heard that one before. Anyway, clearly I just misinterpreted your comment. Easily done. It was a very misinterpretable comment.

cont.: I'm not sure how "Turn on your TV and watch the suffering of people around the world" translates to "a birthday is not worth celebrating with people not worth befriending!"

work the finale into your party.

Deal with it. The finale is more important then the party.
