Today, I finally got my wish of having snow on my birthday. Excited, I failed to realise this meant that no one could come to my party, including myself as we were all snowed out of town. What did I spend my 18th doing? Tidying our house. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to cancel my birthday party because of snow. It's October. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd planned an outside party in my backyard, and I'd invited all of my friends. Only 2 of them showed up. It also rained today, even though it wasn't supposed to. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I spent the day doing nothing but chores, amongst which baking my own birthday cake. I was then so exhausted that I couldn't even stand my own company, so I ate the cake alone on the couch, watching TV. It didn’t taste great. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I'd invited quite a lot of my friends to come round and have some fun. When I got home, I saw a few cars outside. It turned out to be for the neighbours. I waited and waited; none of my friends showed up. FML
Today, I organised a birthday party for myself. There was supposed to be about 20 people coming. Not a single person showed up. FML
Today, it's my 16th birthday. My parents forgot about it, and planned a weekend out of town. I was alone on my birthday. FML
Today, I was really excited to go to a party because I need to make more friends. Too bad a snowstorm hit right before I was going to leave, now I'm alone with no power. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least you got your wish... Why are you not out playing in the snow?!

That's incredibly stupid. Why would you cease celebrating being alive? No matter how old you are, it's good to gather for your birthday. Only someone who doesn't enjoy being alive would feel that way.

Ok, I'll reply. @OP: Oh how horrible! You got to stay home and enjoy your birthday not going to work/school! Hey, you know how my birthday the last few years have been spent (like ever since I was 16)? School/College in the morning, and work at night. Do I feel self pitying? Hell no. Grow up. Once you're past like 13, you're too old to 'celebrate' your birthday.

I would have walked to the store to buy a carton of smokes and smoked them in the snow.

Umm... I don't see any point in celebrating yearly that 'I'm still alive'. It's not exactly an accomplishment, since you have no control over how long you're allotted to live. I mean I'm thankful that I'm alive, yes. But I am not spoiled enough to demand attention/food/presents for that luck.

It's called a dance party, no presents. It's fun enough to make it feel like everybody's birthday. Obviously you've never been to one

26. FU*K you for saying that you're too old to celebrate your birthday after the age of 13. 60. You're right.

Duh. Way to realize what snow does on your 18th birthday. Genius.

I think the OP wanted it to snow, but not so much that it would cause everyone to stay home.

Bollocks no snow in the UK is deep enough to be completely snowed in, invite a few friends who live close by to come round? By a few crates of beers? Have a laugh in the snow? FFS

You need to take a look at some pictures of Cumbria then my friend! My mate from Uni lives in Kendal and she's taken photos of the snow and she's up to her knees in snow in one picture. It's absolutely insane.

I remember I had to sit in a car for two hours waiting for snow plows to clear the road. I ended up falling asleep. My brothers didn't even wake me up to go make a snowman! Eh, got to go sledding though!
