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.

Sorry, but I'd go to see Harru Potter instead. You could just change the date and still have an amazing party with your friends, but there's nothing like seeing a movie on the opening night with all your friends. The atmosphere is great, and the movie will be just brilliant... so yeah. Also, you kind of deserved this as you obviously know your friends well enough to invite them to a party, you'd know them well enough that you know that they like Harry Potter, and you could have worked a date out together :) YDI. Sorry =( But rearrange the date and everything will be ok!

wow its not like the opening day is the ONLY day people can see harry potter. unless they already bought the tickets, their just jackasses because the theaters will prob be full anyways i am not a harry hotter fan, but i wouldnt be low enough to ditch a friends birthday for something like a movie. a concert of your fave artist who will only be in town for that night? maybe. but a movie that will be playing over and over and over for months? no

Think about it.... think about it.... think about it.... Oh! How about you switch your birthday party to another day? Harry Potter's just too awesome to be missed opening night. You should know that already. And to #207: if you think it's lame to have friends who see Harry Potter, you are either blind or a pretentious git, because it's actually colleges now that have the most rabid Harry Potter fanbase. And high schools. That's where all the true fans are, the ones that have been with the books all the way. Last time I went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix opening night, I was 17 and the youngest in a group of 7 or 8. My older sister (21 at the time) took me with some of her friends from work (all older than her). So clearly you're going to find Harry Potter fans in every age bracket. So don't be a dunce.

Harry Potter = LIFE. I agree with #276, just move it to another day, maybe go see it with them. Harry Potter isn't just a kids book, adults read it too.
