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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I decided to face one of my fears. I've never had a birthday party, out of fear that nobody would come. I sent out a mass text inviting people out for my birthday, trying to sound casual. The only replies I received were along the lines of, "Who the hell is this?" FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. 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 my birthday and I'd invited quite a lot of my friends to come round and have some fun. When I got home, I saw a few cars outside. It turned out to be for the neighbours. I waited and waited; none of my friends showed up. 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, it's my birthday. I'd planned an outside party in my backyard, and I'd invited all of my friends. Only 2 of them showed up. It also rained today, even though it wasn't supposed to. FML
Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML
Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML
Today, I received a text forward from a good friend inviting me to his birthday party. Jokingly, I texted back, "No. I hate you and I don't want to go to your lame party." He replied with an apology for the mix-up, because he'd accidentally sent me the invite. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

@ comments about facebook: How the hell do you guys know this subject is stated from Facebook? Also, seriously, who has 300 REAL friends? Sorry to sound rude, but really?

I think you're misguided in thinking that you have 300 friends, so you kind of deserve it.

Granted, it's not quite 300, but the 175ish facebook friends I have, I at least TALK to all of them on a regular basis. But OP... sadly, even if you specifically ask for RSVPs, unless it's like a wedding or a celebrity-studded gala/benefit, nobody's actually going to RSVP - partically if it's through a Facebook event invitation. If you take the time to ask them personally whether or not they can come, I'm sure they'll be happy to answer!

# of friends on facebook == inversely proportional to the number of real friends you have

i cant believe you'd be naive enough to call 300 people your friends. probably more like 2 friends and 298 acquaintances if even that.

i don't even invite anyone to my birthday anymore, i've only had at least 2 people max. at all of my birthday parties since i was born /: we're in the same boat? but you have way more friends to send a letter to.
