Today, one of my teachers asked me to babysit their kids saturday night. She didn't forget that it was Prom night, she was going to chaperone it. My teacher assumed I wasn't invited to Prom... I wasn't. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML
Today, I had to work at the restaurant instead of going to the prom, which nobody asked me out to. For five hours, I got to shamefully greet and seat people on their way home from the prom, all of whom knew I was too lame to get asked out. FML
Today, a woman got out of a car to scream at me as I was walking with the kids I babysit, demanding to know where I was taking her children. Apparently the woman who pays me is also a babysitter, who I have been "covering" for on her party nights. The mother doesn't believe I didn't know this. FML
Today, I had numerous calls from people saying they need a baby sitter, because "they know I wasn't invited anywhere". FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't cool enough to be invited to a college party that happened last night. The one in charge of inviting people was my girlfriend of two years. FML
Today, my piano teacher told me that she "forgot" to inform me that she volunteered me to play a 5-page song in a recital in front of 300 people that's happening next week. FML
Today, I realized the reason I was asked to babysit 3 weeks ago for Feb 14 was because the old married couple with kids safely assumed that I wouldn't have a Valentine. FML
Today, I was looking through my high school yearbook. I found a picture of myself and a couple of my friends at our senior prom. The caption gave the names of all my friends, their dates who didn't attend our school, and listed me only as "Guest." FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm confused. Unless you're not a senior (well even that depends on where you live), why would you need to be invited?

Geez, what kinds of teachers are they hiring these days? Not a very classy or professional move on the teacher's part. Tell me you charged extra. Better to make some cash for a cute new outfit or something, than to suffer the night with some poor sap drooling all down his shirt anyway.

You don't have any friends that graduated already? Bring one of them. That's what I'm doing =]

I don't think this FML is that she didn't have a date. It's that a teacher correctly assumed that she didn't have a date.

THANK YOU! gawd. no one else is getting the actual meaning. if OP really wanted to go to prom, then she would have done so! the FML part of it was the teacher assumed she didn't have a date/ wasn't going.

Sucks. I bet you hate that teacher now huh? She has a lot of nerve doing that, doesn't she realize that you can just charge her even more??? Screw Prom. Not worth the trouble. At least your making some money!

Wow.....a lot of you are harsh. As some did mention, it does sound as though the OP is an underclassman since it is only then that you have to be invited in order to attend prom. To those who say that prom is a waste of time and money, you are entitled to your own opinion, but I personally enjoyed all of the proms I went to and am glad that I went. Some people enjoy getting all dressed up and going out! Plus, prom does not HAVE to be expensive....unless you have to purchase tickets to attend your prom are they are expensive.

you don't need to be invited to go...and you certainly don't need a date! personally i regretted going with a date anyways seeing as i wanted to be with my friends more than with him.

Firstly, why in the hell would you babysit your TEACHERS children? Secondly, prom isn't a party where only the "cool" kids are invited.
