Today, I facebooked my friends about my upcoming birthday party, and told them to keep the date free. I got several responses telling me that's not possible, because that's the day the new Harry Potter movie comes out. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML
Today, my friends told me they will be unable to attend my birthday party on Friday because they'll be watching the Vampire Diaries finale. FML
Today, my friends told me that they couldn't make it to my birthday dinner unless I changed the time, because I'd made dinner reservations that would clash with the new episode of Jersey Shore. 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, 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, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML
Today, I'm having my housewarming party and had prepared food, drink, and games for all the 19 confirmed guests on Facebook. I waited till 11, but nobody showed up. I checked Facebook again and realized I had accidentally put tomorrow as the party date. I have to work the whole day tomorrow. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. FML
Today, I discovered my friend will be upstaging my birthday by hosting another birthday party shortly afterwards. Not for her of course, but in honor of her favorite actor. FML
Today, I found out that when my friends say they're too busy to hang out with me, what they really mean is that they're going to have an awesome pool party, and don't want me to come. The Instagram stories say it all. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I would honestly have to agree. Opening night of Harry Potter matches no other.

I don't know whats worse here the fact that your friends would rather go see harry potter then hang out with you or the fact that you are friends with the kids that go see those movies, but either way your life is clearly ******.

I'm laughing too! I mean seriously! It's Harry Potter!!! Even my best friend who isn't into the books and doesn't ever plan to read them is excited about the movie! Our plans for that date were made ages ago!! We'll be first in line for the first showing!! Haha! Well, maybe not first, but we'll definitely be there that first day. The same goes for the Twilight movie and he doesn't even want to see that one! He just knows how badly I want to see it! Seriously, change the date of your event if you really want your friends to do something with you. You might want to go a day or two before rather than after because anyone who missed HP the first night will be going the next few and even some of the ones who did make it the first night will be going the following nights!

I agree! Get your friends together. Have like a bday dinner thing and then go see a late nite showing. That would be sweet. My bday's the 14th and that's what my friends and I are doing on the day of the premiere!

Um, I know PLENTY of responsible grown ups who love Harry Potter. It can't be just a kid thing or else JK Rowling wouldn't be the richest woman in England, would she??

Actually, not anymore, # 237. This one's rated PG... it's seriously gay.

#338: Regardless of whether or not it is a birthday party, I would still value those I know over some kitsch, crap film that barely has the ability to derive any sense of mystery or tension. And your argument is stupid — Rowling being rich isn't a testament to how great the books are; it just shows that she's a good business woman. Furthermore, it even has SUPPORT for my argument, showing that books were primarily written not for the any artistic merit but as a means of getting money. And if her stories are outsold by the Bible, that just shows that tawdry fiction is apparently what the masses want. Yes, I did just call the Bible "tawdry fiction".

Well they did say it was impossible to keep the night open, since they planned to see Harry Potter... so maybe they were being smart asses. Plus, now it gives a fantastic reason for you to go with them. Therefore, this isn't really much of an FML!

Though you might have been waiting for this birthday for a year, Harry Potter fans have been waiting for that movie since they were like 7...they would be likely to pick HP before you, it's nothing personal.

Well, as a HP fan, I kind of have to say YDI...it's an event many people in the world have been looking forward to for much longer that necessary due to the delayed date...
guitarbeast 22
Ydi for being born on the day of the new Harry potter movie...? How does that work?
