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?

Yeah. I'd totally ditch a friend's birthday for Harry Potter. You should have known better.

Have it that weekend, duh. I don't care if it's my absolutely best friend in the entire world's birthday, I'd still peace out and go see Harry Potter. YDI

I'm in my twenties and started reading those books when they came out. I have been waiting to see this movie since movie FIVE ended. I'm sorry sweetie, OP doesn't DESERVE it, but I have to agree that I have plans that night too. Oh, wait, I have class. Ah, I have other excuses...Either way, I would tell friends to tag along and we'll do dinner after! So, OP may not be 8....OP just has nerdy friends.

Since when is Harry Potter for 8 year olds? The majority of fans are teenagers and adults dumbass.

HP is gay, i've read all the books and seriously they are so long and boring its not funny. The earlier books were good but seriously its just a money making thing.

Okay, so in your opinion, you didn't like them. That doesn't mean that they're "gay". The vast majority of people who read them love them, so you shouldn't state your opinion like it's a fact.
