Today, I got a mass text message from a friend saying she's sorry she can't meet up with our group of friends for drinks because she's busy tonight. This is the first I've heard of any bar-crawling. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I texted a friend who I met some years ago. I had been asking her for months when she wanted to get together. Each time she said how she was basically too busy. Today was different, she said she was glad for the friendship but her daughter is busier now with new things, and doesn't want to get together. FML
Today, an old friend of mine texted me, saying we should hang out. I thought it was really sweet and was excited to see her again, until she realized that she was texting the wrong person, and canceled our plans immediately. FML
Today, the friend I was supposed to meet said, "Oh, I forgot to put it in my calendar." She than suggested all our friends drive out to her place in the morning (instead of the agreed afternoon) when I was unable to attend, which she knew. FML
Today, I received a text message from my wife, who had gone out for the evening with some girlfriends, saying, "I have to take a friend home, she's drunk! I'll be staying at his place. Call you in the morning." Umm… His? FML
Today, my friend decided that we should go clubbing together to "catch up". Her version of catching up is me standing beside her making out with some random dude in the parking lot. FML
Today, a friend of mine sent me a message saying, "Man, I am so sorry but we were both really drunk and I swear it didn't mean anything." FML
Today, it was my friend's 18th birthday. She had invited us out drinking. I've never had alcohol before and was very excited. I got a call explaining that she had invited one too many and asked me not to come. People bragging on Facebook about what a great time they were having didn't help either. 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, one of my really close friends changed from being 'free' to 'quite busy' in the space of one conversation because I suggested that we hang out. FML
Today, I made plans with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. We agreed to meet at a diner and I told him I'd be standing outside. I watched him pull up, look right at me, then do something with his phone. Seconds later, I got a text saying, "Sorry, but I'm busy today and can't make it." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

how?

Because if you've never heard of bar crawling you don't get out much.

I think she means it's the first time she's heard of her friends bar-crawling. Implying she's sort of an outcast of the group, because they don't invite her. :/

I think op meant that no one mentioned they were going bar crawling... Not that they never heard of it.. Like what the other comment says..
rallets 23

#10, but she got a mass text from one friend who messaged and said that she can't make it. It doesn't say that she got lots of texts from many friends and everyone saying they can't make it tonight. If I miss read the fml I'm sorry but it's not worded the best.

I'm on the mobile site so I can't see where OP is from.. but bar crawling?? I've never heard of that term and it sounds a bit funny lol. I say bar hopping.

Awwwwe. They didn't invite you. Yeah two weeks ago you weren't invited to dinner. You smell too much like stale onions and dirty laundry.

#18 - I get where you're coming from, but it's just the fact that the one friend sent a mass text, accidentally including OP, telling the group she couldn't go, but OP was never invited nor had ever been. That's what I get from it at least, it's a lil confusing.

Ah, don't you love that? Then later when you hear friends talking about it and they're like "Oh, you should've come, it would have been so much more fun with you!" and it's like... "An invitation would've been nice." That does suck. Carelessness on the friend's part, too! Forget 'em.

Hope that they're now ex friends.

Sound like a group of friends I had. I joined late and things were great then one of the chicks became a crazy bitch so I stopped hanging out with her. Now none of them invite me to hang out or anything. They all do stuff together sans me. They still pretend to be my friend but they suck. I'm not lame or anything or the sort. Some people suck.

Maybe just a little hint on how tight you really are with that group of people...

Reply to the text. She'll be embarassed that you found out that they've been going without you, and her friends will be mad at her for letting out the secret. In the meantime find new friends.

Send her a text saying your trip to the movies or something was cancelled so she'll feel the same way you do.

So basically you think OP should stoop to their so-called "friends" immature and mean-spirited level?
brenda83002 2
Not the texter's fault as she obviously didn't know the writer wasn't invited - whoever planed the outing is the jerk. I agree, time for new friends!

I'm confused? Anyone else?..
