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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my ex-best friend reached out just to be a dick. We all had tickets to a concert and she decided that she didn't want to go. She said that I could find someone to sell her ticket to, and I did, but then she sold it to someone that I'm not friends with anymore, and told me that she "can do whatever she wants :)". FML
Today, my long distance friend-with-benefits informed me she's now in a relationship with an amazing guy. I should be happier for her, as even I admit he is perfect for her. Too bad I just spent over a thousand dollars on plane tickets to visit her. The tickets are completely nonrefundable. FML
Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML
Today, my friend, who had begged me to buy them a plane ticket after being stranded overseas, blocked me. They didn't even use the ticket. 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 bought my girlfriend two tickets to a Broadway show that was coming through town she really wanted to see. I couldn't attend with her due to work so she said she would take her mom. I found out later she took her ex. Now they're back together, and I paid for the date that made it happen. FML
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. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe she didn't had money because she already bought this concert ticket...

did you consider that she'd need to pay for a plane ticket back as well?

Maybe it was a gift

Don't feel bad about that. I would choose the concert any day, because If it takes a plane to get to you, it's a lot of work, and it will cost money for supplies anyways.

Was the plane ticket just for the flight there? Because she might have not had enough money for another ticket back home after.

Maybe she bought the ticket to the concert before you asked her to visit you.

She couldn't afford the tickets to see you because she'd already spent the money on the concert tickets, silly!

Maybe she couldn't afford the return flight?

This may make me sound very bitchy myself.. But if I had a choice between seeing David Bowie or Paul Simon or whoever ONCE in my life, or visiting a friend for the same amount of money, I would go to the concert. And my best friends would understand why I couldn't come see them. I don't see the issue, is your friendship not stronger than this? You would deny your friend a concert experience she obviously really wanted (she must have if she dropped out on seeing you to go there), because you'd rather she spend time with you? MY friends would understand. If you do not, I honestly think you're a bit selfish. Sorry :-/

maybe she bought the ticket first, you don't know. I think that's selfish on your part, she can always save up and see you whenever, whereas concerts for one band don't happen all the time.
