Today, I checked the Facebook event page that I had set up a week ago for my 21st birthday at an awesome restaurant/bar. Out of 39 invitees, the only person who'd said yes was my boyfriend. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was checking the Facebook event page to see who is attending the party I am having this weekend, since my parents are going out of town. 1 person has confirmed. My mom. FML
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 was invited to a birthday dinner at a restaurant. As I was leaving, I get a text from the birthday girl's boyfriend saying that it was cancelled. Hungry, I decided to go to that particular restaurant anyway. Turns out the party wasn't cancelled. Half the party just didn't want me there. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML
Today, I was on Facebook looking at pictures of my boyfriend, who was in his friend's wedding this past weekend. He said that none of the girlfriends could come because it would cost too much for the couple. I spent the weekend alone, and all his friend's girlfriends are in the pictures. 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, 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, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I invited all his friends and made all his favorite food. He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long. His response? He said he was at his house, with the very friends I was standing next to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Facebook is not an acceptable way of personally inviting people to an important event.

Maybe now that you're 21 years old it's time to grow up and CALL people to invite them.

Agreed. I wouldn't feel too bad about ignoring a Facebook invite to any event. After all, if the person wanted me to come, they would have talked to me personally or sent something a little more personal.

You should just call them instead of inviting them over the internet. :)

it's really more reliable than anything else. everyone is always on facebook, so they'd be sure to get the invite.

maybe that's the way they are in contact with each other... this is the 21st century we're talking about here where unfortunately less and less people are communicating with verbal speech.

Not really. Maybe her friends are on Facebook a lot? I know I wouldn't do that, but only because not all of my friends have Facebook, and many aren't on it very often. If she's the complete opposite, it's perfectly acceptable, and it's quicker too, especially since it's summer so she might not see them a lot anymore.

ooh 6th, that's the highest I've ever been That's annoying OP. But don't worry, many people don't have really any friends besides their significant other. Just cancel the restaurant, and have a nice night with your boyfriend But yeah, facebook shouldn't be used for something like this

It's better to call. Its also a FML for your boyfriend. Boyfriend 'Today, my girlfriend had a party and i was the only one could go. My girlfriend has no friends. FML'

ooh, yeah i see what you mean. i was just thinking that.
Mata_Hari 0
Yeah, I'm sure it affected the boyfriend a whole lot, let's forget all about the OP whose birthday is forgotten by all her friends =] No sympathy there apparently. FYL.

Yeah I agree with number 5, some people don't check it that often.

When I go on Facebook and see an event I ignore it if they want me to go so badly they can call me or send a letter

you know 39 isnt exactly a whole lot of people for a 21st
Ligerie 0
ummm... yes that is. Plus thats not the point of the FML.
raNDMGUy 5
my sister had over 130 coming to hers, anyway if you invite 39 you're not going to get that many back

Never plan your own birthday party. You set yourself up for disappointment. If others want to celebrate your birthday, let them plan it for you.
