Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a concert. One of my favorite bands was performing, and I'd had the ticket for seven months, with a great seat for the show. It was all going perfectly, that is until a guy twice my height sat in front of me. FML
Today, I finally got to attend the concert I have been anticipating for weeks. The band was great. The drunk guy sitting behind me yelling profanity and out of tune lyrics in my ear throughout the entire show, however, was not. FML
Today, I was going to meet my friend at a concert. I got there before her, so I went in to check out the local bands that were playing before the headliner. When she got there, I went just outside the building to give her a ticket. The security guards wouldn't let me back in. She went in anyway. FML
Today, my friend and I went to see our favorite band in concert. We walked at least a mile from our parking space and stood in line for two hours. My friend was supposed to have the tickets in her purse. She actually had, but she left her purse in the car. FML
Today, I remembered that the concert I bought tickets for over a month in advance was yesterday. FML
Today, I went to a concert for the first time in 5 years. I got all dressed up and even ended up hanging out with the band. The night came to a screeching halt when I got a migraine and ended up in the ER vomiting non-stop. I was in the hospital all night. FML
Today, I bought tickets for my friends and me to go to a concert. While I was in the shower, they ditched me and took my girlfriend. FML
Today, after saving up my money for weeks, I went to see my favorite artist in concert with my friends. Two songs in, I passed out, hit my head, and had to have someone drive me home. FML
Today, I went to a Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert with my best friend. We've been looking forward to this for over six months. She spent the entire pre-drinks, pre-party, and concert glued to her phone. FML
Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Bieber does NOT count as the "concert of your life".

After all thats what true friendship all about :)
Jonkbaby 23
I think the severity of this suckiness deserves a 'that sucks' comment
Jac_d_ipper 10
Exactly
JSwerv3 6
If they were TRULY friends, OP would have ditched her ass.
Jonkbaby 23
^by chance, would you consider yourself a "bro"?
fymother 13
Should have sent her to the hospital or police station for medical attention or protective custody and then you could have enjoyed the concert.
Narttu 20
I completely agree with 1. There's no reason you should have missed out on that because your friend is an idiot. No matter how good a friend they may be.
MizzErikaHart 8
No, op did the right thing by taking care of her friend.. Besides who knows what type of past situations the op has gotten into where the drunk friend had to help out..
doctorhook86 25
53 is right, the OP had a responsibility to take care of her friend in that situation. That said, I think the OP should now seriously consider finding a new friend who's not a reckless, selfish idiot.
Calyx_fml 22
You should have ditched her, seen the show, then returned. The next morning lie about it to make her feel guilty and owe you. Cake kept and eaten.
zinoxity 23
Yes guys. OP should have ditched her. Why? Because its not like it's possible for a drunk person to fall asleep, vomit, and choke on their own vomit and die. You guys are bright. /Sarcasm.

81 - Roll her on her side then ditch her. Besides, OPs friend shouldn't have gotten drunk so early or controlled herself.

#1, 32, 41, 46, 56, 76, 83 : i bet when ur frnds would have done something like this stupid, u guys will surely ditch him/her for anything. But i am glad to say that my friends are not jug heads like you. So what if she got drunk too much and they missed the show, no one said she did it on purpose... However it was just a show not a door of heaven opened for one night & she missed it lol 'people now a days' :/
doctorhook86 25
85: Not sure why you included my comment (56) in your list; I said the OP was right to look after her friend, even though the friend is a selfish moron.
CanWeMicrowaveIt 11
85, yes, they accidentally got beyond drunk. I understand not doing it to be malicious, but they definitely got drunk before the show on purpose
citymayer 7
There would be hell to pay if anyone did that to me. I probably wouldn't ditch my friend but I'd make them pay for my ticket and they'd still owe me. I expect my friends not to be shitheads.
tjv3 10
You should have left her in the hotel
vitty_z 16
all they said we they got drunk enough not to be let in to the concert. if their friend was seriously drunk then they would have taken them to the hospital, where I WOULD have stayed with them, not the hotel. chances are their friend passed out as soon as they got back and that was it.
888pickles888 4
That's what friends are for! =)
capper44 18
#99 well sorry bud, but included u... Coz u said find a new frnd just coz of one mistake lol then u gotta meet my frnd group. #108 i believe that what u said at purpose thing, but there is nothing given in Fml that the purpose was to ruin the show .... However i do understand that watever OP did, by staying with her.... Is what a real frnd would do. Once we five frnds canceled our show at the end moment coz sixth one was sick and rather than going to show we stayed at his place and tried to make his mood. FYI - that band is all of us all time fav... :D

Wouldn't have been a good friend to leave an unattended drunk associate at a hotel for several reasons. First, what if they don't wake up? Alcohol poisoning is one risk, another one choking on their vomit, another is waking up then causing trouble, leaving then trying to drive, etc.
lilacgold 16
Not much of a friend you have there...
_ebbonyy 11
you should have pretended you didn't know her and gone in by yourself! if she was selfish enough to ruin your night, you should have been selfish enough to ruins hers right back ;)
JSwerv3 6
Yeah, because her friend obviously intended to ruin her night...
LunaDragon 10
Actually, what Op should have done is gotten her friends shoe laces and tied her to a chair. Then Op should have drawn a penis on her forehead, and gone to the concert and enjoyed herself, when she got back her friend will still be in exact same spot, (unless she's related to Harry Houdini) then proceeded to take a pic or vid and posted it to FB or YouTube for almost ruining her night. I'm sure her friend will always think about how much she drinks around Op again. ;p
_ebbonyy 11
33- stop being a smartass, I just meant if she was selfish enough to not control herself to the point where she got that drunk. so stop trying to be a hero :-)
fricknugget 3
Should punch your friend in the face.. Not like they'll remember ;)
squid_board 8
How much money were the tickets?
instnt1nfction 17
Will OP deliver? Stay tuned to find out.
VictoriaSchultz 8
I think it's the fact that OP missed the concert.

3- Does it matter?
GoingToBeAPilot1 6
How much did the tickets cost?* How much were the tickets?*
The_Hitdude 12
^^They understood what they were saying, they were just making a joke out of it.
MoodyBlue320 11
Well, it IS a factor in the FML. Like, it's bad enough OP missed the concert, if they were expensive then that hurts too.
SkoomaKi 28
**** the concert, you should get equally drunk with your friend, then get revenge on her.
p3mguin 7
THROW UP ON HER! Oh wait nobody does that? Oh, ok then.
Razzle_Dazzle_5 11
Get drunk on your friend's wedding.

THANK YOU!!!
Da_Bauss435 8
You're correct, and Lady Gaga doesn't count either
Livencountry 5
Eric Church and Brantley Gilbert does though, that's a hell of a show right there Doc.
loserman67 36
Probably Celine Dion... I shudder just typing that...
VasilisaUzhasnaj 29
25 - Gaga's concerts are actually pretty insane. You don't even need to be a fan of her 'music' to enjoy them. Or trip to them, rather.
challan 19
Doc, maybe you can cure her of her Bieber fever.
alisidewinder 9
Now gaga throws an insane concert. Like Marylyn mansion it's a must see.
ssnowywinter 0
Nah, Rammstein definitely wins for 'Most Insane Concert'
Razzle_Dazzle_5 11
67 Did you just use lady gaga and Marilyn Manson in the same sentence? Society has finally caved in on itself.
elephantom12 9
Ladies ladies, we all know Queen is the best band ever and I just so happen to be fortunate enough to be seeing their tribute tour this summer. Envy me.
THE_A_TEEN 28
^Got any spare tickets? I want to join you.

I wish I can throw beiber in a shark tank
DocBastard 40
Elephantom - I already saw Queen with Paul Rogers a few years ago. Suck it.
lylotrezor 20
74, actually Lady Gaga and Marilyn Manson recorded a song together, a remix of "Love game".
redmane 21
Tool puts on an extremely amazing show. The lights they use are so trippy and if the venue has it, they play the music video on a ******* huge screen. I couldn't hear anything afterward.

104 Dude that's the best setlist ever.... Luckily I get to see slipknot at mayhem festival this summer. :D
Razzle_Dazzle_5 11
Go to a Rob Zombie concert. It will **** you up in a good way.
Quidikic 9
Ahem, Dora the musical is definitely the most thrilling stage performance of them all. Even beating out "Diego Live!"
KiddNYC1O 22
Lifehouse is pretty good.
iliketurdles 7
Tough choice. But I think you made the right one. If something had happened to her, you wouldn't forgive yourself.
MetalxSoldier 26
You should have lied. "I'm not with that girl. I'm a groupie that came alone (;"
mgkgambino 3
That's what friends are for??? Jk, you poor girl :(
linkinpark98 24
And that's when you casually sneak out the door, down the stairs, and go enjoy what you're missing! :D She'll be too drunk to notice anyways. :P

Sneak it and be a rebel
