Today, I generously paid for my best friend to go to an event she's wanted to see her whole life. Instead of thanking me, she brought her children and made me pay for them too, complained that I hadn't chosen the seats she wanted, then blamed me when she got on the wrong train back to her hotel.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after having a fight with my BFF, she invited me to come along to a party. I found out later that she'd only invited me so that when returning from the event, we could take a taxi and split the cost. FML
Today, a friend texted me to get a ticket and go to a theme park with her tomorrow. I bought a ticket and didn't hear from her until 5 hours later to say she was sorry, but she doesn't think she'll be going. It was $65 and non refundable. FML
Today, I thought I was doing a nice thing when I spent hundreds of dollars to get my friend a plane ticket home. She yelled at me when I gave it to her. Turns out, she planned on spending a few more months freeloading off me. FML
Today, I spent hundreds of pounds buying my best friend concert tickets to see our favourite band, complete with a meet and greet. I drove over very excited to pick her up to take her. She had already left. With her boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out on Facebook that my supposed best friend bought a concert ticket to a show. The concert ticket cost the exact same amount as the plane ticket she told me she couldn't afford to come see me. FML
Today, for my birthday, my family offered to take one of my friends to the movies with me. I had to pay a random person in my class to pose as a friend of mine, so that I wouldn't look pathetic in front of my parents. She forgot my name three times. They didn't buy it. FML
Today, I went to the airport to pick up my friend. It wasn't until I got there that I realized I'd come on the wrong day. Her flight arrived yesterday, so that explains her radio silence for the past two days. I just thought she was in transit, but turns out she's pissed at me and wants me to pay for the Uber ride she had to take home from the airport. FML
Today, I went to a friend's "party". Everyone bailed but my friend didn't say anything, so it's just me and my girl. The train tickets alone cost £20. FML
Today, I was confronted by a friend, who I didn’t invite to an outing with the rest of our friends because we think she’s annoying. I'd posted a photo and I'd apparently forgot to exclude her from viewing it in the post settings. She’s also my ride to and from school. She told me, “I hope you can afford Uber/Lyft.” FML
Today, my date unexpectedly brought her friend to dinner with us. They seemed bored of me after ten minutes and left me out of their conversation for the rest of the night. Oh, and they made me pay for both of them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It sounds like either you best friend isn’t that good of a friend or is sadly lacking in the social graces… Once burned by an ungrateful “friend” simply never do that or anything like that again with this “friend”… You can either accept that your friend is lacking in the gratitude and social graces or question just how much they think of you as a “friend” as opposed to a source of free stuff… You will need to figure that out. When “friend” is less frazzled, you should tell them that the tickets, etc. were expensive and you were disappointed with her apparent lack of gratitude. If she just blows it off or becomes defensive then she’s not a friend or at least not a close one. In that case you need to make better friends. And don’t try to buy them by doing too much for them if they don’t reciprocate. Nobody respects a person that they regularly take advantage of. All healthy relationships involve give and take. When it’s only take, take, and complain that’s not a friendship.

NOT your best friend. she is a narcissistic user. she should have graciously thanked you for her one ticket. you don't need her for validation. straighten your spine and cut contact before she expects you to take out a loan for Christmas presents.

Well, if you didn't **** up so much, she might be grateful. Pay attention -- get it right!
