Today, I got stood up by all five of my friends. I had to spend two hours getting hit on by a guy because I didn't feel safe to drive home. Their excuse? They didn't think I was serious when I said I was already at the bar. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was supposed to go on a date with a guy I really like. My friends convinced me that he was going to stand me up and that I should just stay home to avoid being hurt. He showed up; I didn't. My friends laughed at my gullible nature. FML
Today, I went to a party with 5 of my friends. Within five minutes, they'd all paired up and gone. Then it was just me, drinking my pain away. FML
Today, I went out to a bar with some of my friends. They're all in committed relationships, but every single one of them got hit on. I'm single, and yet again, nobody even said hi to me. FML
Today, all my friends had a huge party and 'forgot' to invite me. They only remembered about me at 2 am when they called asking for rides home because they were all too drunk to drive. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me as I was getting ready for bed and asked me to pick him up from the bar. Being a loving girlfriend I drive the 45 minutes; when I get there his friend informs me he left about 45 minutes ago. FML
Today, I set up a small social gathering for a few friends. One of them didn't have a ride, so the others, who'd already shown up, went to go give him a ride. After no sign of them for a whole hour, I called to see what was wrong. They went out to eat and completely forgot about me. FML
Today, I got stood up on a date. To add insult to injury, meeting up was her idea. FML
Today, I got shitfaced at a club. A cute girl I'd met earlier in the evening offered to drive me home in my car and spend the night with me. She crashed my car and did a runner before the cops showed up. They wouldn't believe my story. I now have a wrecked car and a DUI. FML
Today, I decided to be responsible and call a cab to take my drunk ass home from the bar. As I climbed into the cab, I was quickly pulled back out and had the shit beaten out of me by a group of drunk guys who thought they needed the ride more. The police soon arrived and arrested us all. FML
Today, I got into an accident and my car was totaled. My friends then took me out to a bar for a drink to make me feel better. It appears that the police officer I'd spoken to had kept my I.D. by mistake and I couldn't get into the bar. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did you tell the guy at the bar you weren't interested? Or tell the barkeeper that a gentlemen is being a bother

I'm mostly going to say YDI(being stuck at the bar) because clearly you didn't have a back-up plan, like calling a cab.

Always have a backup plan for ways to get home, and maybe get some self defense or other protection. Even if it's just pepper spray, a taser, or stun gun, a small blade, or purse sized gun. There's so many options today, that there's becoming fewer excuses for situations like this. Helpless damsel in distress stuff. Yes, us ladies in some situations are physically weaker than guys. That's what weapons are for, or self defense/ martial arts training. To subdue a threat without harm or death unless it's an absolutely last resort. For finding a way home, drunk or not, that is also on you. That's what cabs are for. Or the police to again, take care of the guy. Or tell the bartender. Come on. and yes I've been in a situation where I should have also brought some defense but something worse happened to me by force with no consent. So instead of sounding heartless, take it as me and other people passing down hindsight knowledge for future occurrences. No one plans to be harassed or attacked or raped, but it pays to be prepared. Being a natural introvert also helps prevent most things because you don't go to dangerous places like bars, clubs, etc. Obviously that isn't something one can control, but it's an advantage. Also obviously, people can come to your house or a friends house but I'm just saying it cuts down on the possible locations lol. When I was raped, had I had some weapon on me, I would not have been scared motionless with my brain farting. Feeling helpless does that, so having protection is the clear answer. Did not have the physical strength to push him off or budge him at all, so had nothing. A way to fight back. Hope. Something.

I'm sorry that happened to you that sounds rough but carrying a weapon is way more dangerous than not. You're literally handing them ways to hurt you.

Why would they not believe you when you said you were already there? That doesn't make sense unless you are known for being a notorious liar. I'm getting the feeling you're leaving out pertinent details. ydi
