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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

I think it's funny that people are still replying to certain comments separately rather than as a direct reply with the new features =D And how dumb do you have to be not to realize that you can spend your bday with your friends watching harry potter?

Yeah, no, sorry, I'd do the same. I took a weekend off work for DH. A day to read, a day to recover and cry and talk to my nerdy friends online.

I'm not much of an HP fan, and at 1st the idea that ur friends valued it higher than they valued u disgusted me. But... u can always reschedule, or if you like HP go to the premiere and go out for drinks/dinner (not sur how old u is) afterwards

Wow...that really sucks. Besides the fact that I hate HP (he does nothing but whine lol), your friends were incredibly rude to place the movie above you. But like people have said, party at the movie theater maybe?

not necessarily. opening night is a big deal, and maybe since this persons party is not set in stone, he can rescedule? but its not his fault for having the party on the same day, clearly if he is not a fan he would not be religeously counting down, which is fine

you guys are missing the point. not every one is a freakin hp fan and this person just might not wanna go see hp for their bday if they arent even a fan. plus this persons friends can always go see it another day but apparently watching hp on opening night is more important than his/her bday

I'm sorry but that actually sounded quite disturbing.
