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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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...

YDI for thinking some friend on Facebook wants to see you.

#74, it doesn't say that they were friends because of Facebook. OP just FOUND OUT on Facebook. They could actually be friends who have already met. Maybe one of them just moved away. Read more carefully next time, yeah? And OP, that's a bummer. She could have at least been truthful. :/

I'd choose a concert over visiting a friend anyday Sometimes bands only come to your city once in their tours

It sickens me to see the amount of people that depend on facebook and myspace to communicate with friends and "CHECK" on each other....but seriously cyber stalking freinds is lame. There are so many FMLs with the word facebook in them...it's kind of pathetic. Maybe the band is her favorite, and your not her favorite friend so there really is no competition. Why can't you fly to see the band with her?

sweetie, think about how much a trip involves more than a plane ticket. that's lots and lots of time, especially transit time, expenses for food, transportation to or from the airport, either finding a place to park her car, having to get someone to drop her off and pick her up, or paying for a taxi, figuring out where she'll stay and what she'll do... and it's all fairly stressful, too. i'm not saying she couldn't have been a little more forthcoming, but i would try to understand it from her point of view and considering all the extras involved. a trip by plane is a big undertaking.

Stop complaining and buy a ticket to go see her. Why is it that you can't go see her? And maybe her parents paid part of it as a reward for doing something. Also, as stated, a concert isn't much of a time constraint. You can still work the day of a concert. You have to take off work for a trip, as well as money for expenses there, possible cab fare, the grueling hours in the baggage check and security lines as well as the possibility that it might fall too close to school for her to be able to.

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe she had bought the concert ticket BEFORE talking to you about these airplane tickets, and thus not being able to get both? Obviously not, because by the sound of this I'd be very willing to bet you're a woman, and with women, everyone is always out to get them, and no matter HOW ignorant or irrational they are being, they are 'ALWAYS' right.
