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.

Not too bad. Last year, I spent my sweet 16 in my house after beeing iced in (rained then froze) so we were without electricity and no snow for 2 weeks and we couldn't drive. All 30 of my fish died for my sweet 16.

It could be worse. Six years ago, my mom died of cancer the week before my 21st b-day. Her funeral was the day before my b-day. So that was definitely a depressing b-day. At least you can re-schedule your party.

dude are stupid, i live in a house which is out of town, it means two things, that one he doesn't live near the town centre like i dont, i live in enfield, london, which means i dont live in the city centre ie town centre, or it cld mean that he lives like in the contry side, so next time, think before you speak

Actually I did think before I spoke (typed). I thought about how everyone I know, and many people I don't know use the term "out of town" to mean "away from the place they live". I don't live in a town, I live in a rural area that has no name, but if I am going somewhere I (and other members of my family) will say we are going out of town. Example - Me: "I'm going out of town for the weekend"; My Friend: "where are you going?"; Me: "to the beach. Yay!!". So there you go. P.S. Since you are from Enfield London England, I would expect you to be able to speak English, your country did after all invent the language. Take an English class or something. You write like a retarded gibbon pounding on a keyboard.

Reminds me of my birthday. I had mono, and I was stuck at home so I wouldn't get other people sick. I also had no appetite, so my cake was a Tim Horton's doughnut with a candle stuck in it. I think I spent about six hours of my birthday actually awake.

So? Just have it on another day. I never do anything for my birthday, and I'm fine with it......I'm also 18. If you're a legal adult and still wanting to have parties like that....wow.

Crikey. With the utmost respect, #26, you're either mature beyond your years, or a little boring! The majority of 18 year olds are out living and enjoying life's, ah, slightly wilder pleasures. Everyone has house parties and goes out now and then. Fair doos if it's not your bag, but it's hardly unusual!

Darkmis probably spent his 18th birthday putting spells on his enemies and taking emo pics for his myspace

Hey don't generalise. I don't want a big deal made over my upcoming birthday (26/12) and I'm not "emo". I just hate being paraded around in front of everyone as they seem see who can do their best to make me feel ungrateful for the presents I recieve. I feel like the judge to an invisible trial.
