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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

I think the FML here is not that the OP didn't have a date for prom, but more that the teacher assumed she wouldn't be going at all - implying the teacher believes not only that she can't get a date, but also that she has no friends who'd want to go with her. Anyway, I'm still surprised she's allowed to ask you to babysit...

Ouch! Well, prom isn't that great anyways. Way over rated, and over done.

wait is that legal for a teacher to ask you to babysit?

oh man, you know, because prom is couples only, because everyone in the entire school except you is dating someone all at the exact same time. get over it. go by yourself, with some friends. if you wanted to go to prom so bad you're gonna be pissy over it then you would've gone anyways.

Oh whatever. I went to prom, all four years! Now, the local high schools give kids a patch, like for a letter jacket, if they go to Prom all four years. How creepy is that? Now I will admit, I was in prom court senior year, dating a, gasp, 16 year old, sophomore, so I was pretty ostracized by my fellow prom court. So, IMO, prom is something you should at least do once. Things like that teach you how to interact in social settings. That's an important skill as an educated adult. Plus, you have to hold your liquor. Another timeless lesson in life.

Maybe she heard from someone else that you weren't going?
