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...

Again, wow. All the negative posts above accusing the OP of being "selfish" and a "bitch" are why the world is in the horrible state it is in these days. Everyone relies on Facebook and other online social networking to have the illusion that they have more real friends than they actually do, so that when they screw one over, there are 5 more fake ones to take his/her place. The completely lack of understanding in most of these comments just screams immaturity. Damn people need to grow up and realize that PEOPLE are more important than concerts, or cars, or a new pair of shoes, etc. Get your priorities straight.

to #86 People are more important than material things but the concert could have meant a alot to her and her friend should have understood this She can still go visit her friend after the concert when she has more money

to #91: I do wonder why it is always the person getting screwed over that has to be the understanding one. :(

I see your point, but I don't think it's fair for you to decide what other people should prioritize. Everyone has different values, and who knows why OP's friend chose to go to the concert. I would make the same choice, seeing as how my favorite band has saved my life and seeing them live would mean the world to me. I obviously love my friends too, but I think that a real friend would understand why I'd make a choice like that. For OP to refuse to acknowledge their friends perspective here, they're basically saying that their own happiness is more important than their friend's. If OP isn't happy with their friend's choice, no one is forcing them to stay friends with that person.

If they bought the concert ticket first then fair play, can't complain.

This sounds like a lie. I highly doubt that your friend had a ticket to a concert that would cost the exact same amount as a plane ticket to see you. Stop lying you worthless piece of trash. It's people like you who make all the FML readers wonder if posts are true or not. By lying, you throw every FML post into question. The possibility that an FML post is a lie makes it so much less funny. Think about that next time you think of a hilarious circumstance and decide it has to be on FML. Make a cartoon or something but don't lie on a site where honest people are confessing just how terrible their lives are.

How much did that frickin concert ticket cost!?!? I don't think I believe this. I have never seen so much fault in an FML. Maybe I'm wrong though. But gosh. A plane ticket costs major money and I may mistaken, but isn't the average price of a concert ticket much less than that of a plane ticket? And what? Did you investigate? "Oh she bought a _____ ticket... hmm. Lets check the price of that ticket. And lets then check the price of a plane ticket to come see me! BA HUMBUG! THEY'RE THE SAME AMOUNT!!" That's insulting.

So you were going to pay for all their food and entertainment costs while they were there?

So what if she bought that concert ticket before you asked?? And now she can't afford the plane ticket because of that reason? and what concert are you going to where it costs as much as a plane ticket? I hate fake stories. I submited real ones and they get rejected

Talk. To. Her. Sounds like you don't have the full story, about the concert or the trip out there. Don't be a bitch and assume things. Maybe she found a great deal on the concert tix. Maybe she can't afford days of dining out, partying, splitting gas, etc. Freezing her out or being silently pissed at her is a definite passive-aggressive bitch move. Suck it up and confront her.
