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.

YDI dude. Harry Potter > you. That's not to say that you're not great or whatever, but I'm pretty sure Harry Potter probably already has his own religion. That said, why don't you have a birthday dinner before everyone goes to see the movie at midnight. Then it's all about you and HP.

I'm not saying YDI, but I would think if they're good friends you would know they're Harry Potter fans if they're going on the opening day. Most Harry Potter fans talk about Harry Potter quite a bit when the movies are coming out. Also, most people do know the opening day is July 15th. Even hermits know that. No party should ever be planned on a Wednesday, especially if that Wednesday coincides with anything Harry Potter related. July 15th is quite a while away, and if you *just* facebooked your friends about the plans today, I'm sure you could change them very easily.

My friend is getting married on the day the movie is coming out where I live. I told her I'd go to the ceremony, but I have to leave the reception in time to make the midnight premiere. (Also, it's not really an important wedding for me, so don't judge me too harshly!) Priorities, man! We've been waiting WAY too long for this movie! But seriously, why not just celebrate another day? It's so lame that people force their friends and families to hang out with them on their birthday (especially when they're busy/have other unavoidable plans). I mean, a phone call is obviously necessary, just to acknowledge the day, but you can have a party/celebrate within a week or so of your actual birthday and it really doesn't matter! #93 - Facebook IS a verb, duh. #124 - This is definitely another option as well.

Yeah, do it another day. It'd be like trying to get a Star Trek fan to go somewhere OTHER than the movie theatre for opening day. It's not going to happen.

Harry Potter > Friends An extremely violent cruciastus curse to those who disagree.

Have a Harry Potter themed birthday bash like my friend did in 3rd grade when the first or second movie was still in theatres. I was great fun! BTW you deserve it for using facebook as a verb
