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 sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML

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

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 posted an event to have a get together with friends. Most of them put "not attending". I hadn't even set the date. FML

Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." FML

Today, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML

Today, I'm having my housewarming party and had prepared food, drink, and games for all the 19 confirmed guests on Facebook. I waited till 11, but nobody showed up. I checked Facebook again and realized I had accidentally put tomorrow as the party date. I have to work the whole day tomorrow. FML

Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. 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, I found out that when my friends say they're too busy to hang out with me, what they really mean is that they're going to have an awesome pool party, and don't want me to come. The Instagram stories say it all. FML

I would honestly have to agree. Opening night of Harry Potter matches no other.

honestly I don't care about the Harry Potter crap, but if its your birthday and what not, why don't you work your schedule around it, go to the movie, then dinner or have lunch then a movie or after the movie hang out and what not, unless you don't like the movie either.

you should just plan the birthday party on a different day if they are such fans of it...and they probably realize thats what you can do so this is why they chose HP coming-out day which cannot be moved over your b-day party which you can just as well do the day right after..

YDI. Even people that aren't hardcore Harry Potter fans are going. It's ridiculous to think you'd come between them and the movie[THAT WAS DELAYED, IT BETTER BE AMAZING!].

Go to City Hall and change your birthday on your official birth certificate. That's the easy solution. Don't **** with Harry Potter!

How preposterous. Even if the party were the same day as the movie, I would go to the party. As much as I like Harry Potter, it's just a movie and it will be on movie theaters for many, many weeks.

Couldn't you just move your party? It's still a month away, unless you booked some entertainment or something. Besides, Harry Potter is a totally legit reason for missing a birthday party. Your birthday comes once a year. The premiere of Harry Potter 6 will only happen once.
