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.

Normally I am opposed to friend's ditching you for a movie premiere, but this is Harry Potter so I'll make an exception. Have your party at the midnight showing of HP.

I think would rather to to a good party than the movie it's just going to be a disappontment to any of the book pureists anyway

Seriously? Its Harry-Freaking-Potter. There is no possible way on earth that your birthday would be more important to them than the movie...how did you not see that coming? It could be my mothers birthday...or my best friends birthday...but i'd still totally ditch and go see harry potter. Seriously, either go to the movie...or be a loser and sit at home and eat cake while everyone goes to watch the amazingness that is harry potter. No offense of course (actually i dont mean that) But YDI and FYL because HP rocks... ~RandomBlonde

@#299 Actually, J K Rowling is Scottish and lives in Edinburgh. British and English are not the same thing, you know.

Is your party the night of the fourteenth or the fifteenth? If it's the fourteenth, I'm with them. If it's the fifteenth, FYL and they should have gone to see it earlier in the day or at midnight. (And to the book purists: ...I'm a book purist, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to go the midnight showing! It's way better that way if you are one, actually, because the entire theater knows where to "awww!" and cry and cheer at the right times. It's awesome.)

sucks for you, lol. i scheduled my grad party on the same day as harry potter so that i could have a less lame sounding excuse off from work, and i'm combining it with the party.

That sucks, but... (gasp of shock that u didnt think of this) you should watch the movie with them then go out to dinner! Idiot!

If they're like me, they've been planning on seeing Harry Potter forever. Parties can be rescheduled, Harry Potter can not. I would just plan my party around the movie. It's what I do for mine.

Because Harry Potter kicks ass. I would ditch your party to see the movie. I guess it also helps I don't know you...so...

Im sorry, but the opening night of Harry Potter is really big, and just move it to a day before or after, not that much trouble. Harry Potter would be way more fun.
