Today, I had my 18th birthday party. At midnight, three police officers showed up at my door and asked if they could look around. Were we doing anything bad? Nope. My friends suck at parking. Before they left, the officers said that this was the most toned down party they'd seen in years. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, some cops came to my house saying that the neighbors thought the party I was having was too loud and obnoxious. It was my grandmother's 86 birthday party. FML
Today, after my parents left for the weekend, my "friends" decided to throw a party at my house, despite my protests. In order to get them to leave, I called the police. I was the only one arrested, while they got warnings. FML
Today, I celebrated my 18th birthday. Alone. My only birthday wish came from the police officer who gave me a ticket. FML
Today, it's my birthday. A month ago, I'd told everyone I invited to my party that it was going to be adults only. One of my friends brought her kids with her anyway, then started screaming and trashing the place when I politely asked her to leave. The cops had to be called to finally get her out of my house. FML
Today, I was at a party when the cops showed up. They asked whether anyone had a gun, but I heard "fun" instead and raised my hand. I got searched. FML
Today, I had a small gathering of family and friends over to celebrate my son's baptism. One of my friends happens to be a police officer. The entire event consisted of him arresting three of my family members. Don't worry, he came back to get some cake. FML
Today, it was my 18th birthday and I was told I couldn't get the night off work because a party of 34 had booked into the restaurant. It turned out my family had come in to 'celebrate' by making me wait on them. They were a nightmare, thought it was hilarious to be difficult, and didn't tip. FML
Today, as I returned home, I noticed some movement inside my house. Thinking it was a break-in, I called 911. It was my friends and some coworkers trying to throw me a surprise birthday party. Nobody's said a word to me since. FML
Today, I went to a party. Although I wasn't drinking, I was still afraid the cops would bust me. Halfway through the party, the cops showed up. I tried to hop a fence, ripping my pants and cutting my leg in the meantime. It wasn't until was on the ground that I found out there was a gate. FML
Today, I threw a party while my parents were gone. I forgot that our alarm automatically turns on at 11 pm, so when people opened the door, it went off. I couldn't find the number for the alarm company, so the cops showed up. Everyone started cheering because they thought they were strippers. FML

Toned down doesn't mean a bad thing, i always find parties where you just have a laugh the best anyway.

The best parties are the quiet ones :) my favourite birthday party was when me and 3 close friends went to see a movie and then they all slept over. Hope it was an awesome toned down party :)

There is nothing wrong with a tranquil party as long as you're having fun. He should be happy. It could have been worse like going to jail on his birthday which is not fun. Trust me.

It's not about having the biggest party. The important thing is having your friends with you celebrating.

I had a great time going to jail on my birthday. I guess your mileage may vary on that one.

Quite a show of force for a parking infraction. They'll use any excuse to poke their noses into something. Did you stand up and yell "I can't breathe!"?

The quote is supposed to read "I can't breathe!". Edited it 3 times and it still wouldn't show up correctly.

I'm assuming the officers thought they were drinking and driving and felt obligated to check on an underage party.

they should fine your friends for that!

As long as you had a good time is all that matters. I'll never understand why broken things, throwing up and feeling like crap all day the day after is the standard for a "great"party.

Right?! What's wrong with a quiet evening with good friends and maybe some board games?

It's the terminology. When people hear party, they think of keggers and ragers. So the 'party scale' is skewed that way. A good rule of thumb: If no one gets naked it's probably not a party.

Normally if all those things happen people usually tend to have a fun time. It's much like a concert. If you go and lose your voice and come out drenched in your sweat, then it was probably an awesome concert. Same with a party, if you come out drunk then you probably had a good time. That's not to say you need to do all these things it's just common for big parties.
