Today, I ran into an old friend, and she remarked how she couldn't believe we hadn't seen each other in a year. Except not only did I attend her baby shower a few weeks ago, I spent hundreds of dollars on a unique gift. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ran into an old friend for whom I used to have feelings. I hadn't seen her in years, so I thought it would be funny if I went up to her and said, "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you?" She thought I had really forgotten her and burst into tears. FML
Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML
Today, I received a birthday present from a friend. It was the very same gift I gave to her for Christmas. FML
Today, I can't seem to let go of what my family had done. Years ago, they spent hundreds, if not a thousand, for gifts on a family friend's baby shower, yet have bought nothing for my shower, which was two months ago, not to mention none of them attended the shower either. They've had the registry for 5 months, and I'm due in 3 days. FML
Today, I received an angry phone call from a friend whose birthday party I missed last night. Yesterday, I gave birth to my son. She claims that I ruined her party and demands I still bring her a birthday gift. FML
Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML
Today, I ran into an old friend at the grocery store and told them, "Let’s catch up soon!" We then ran into each other in every single aisle. It got awkwarder and awkwarder, and by the fifth time I was pretty sure neither of us wanted to see the other ever again. FML
Today, after I spent quite some time getting thoughtful gifts for my friend and her kids ahead of their visit, she made a big fuss about how she'd "forgotten" to bring the gift she'd bought for me. Later, she casually admitted that she'd intentionally not bought me anything because she, "didn't think I'd need it." FML
Today, I hung out with a friend who has been too busy to hang out with me in a few months. I decided to make the day super special with fun plans and spent a lot of money doing so. When I got home, her Facebook status said, "Pointless day, gone to bed." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The exact same thing happened to me but instead of a babyshower it was her wedding.

That sucks :/ but considering you just went to her baby shower, I'm sure she's just been really busy with her new baby and REALLY sleep deprived, so try not to take it personally(:

Maybe your friend has a twin, and you were friends with both without realizing. You haven't seen twin 1 in a year, but were just at twin 2's Baby shower. Eh? Could be.

Haha I like your logic!

I think that the operative word in your narrative is that you were an "old" friend. Maybe she is showing signs of early Alzheimer's disease.

And having a baby shower?

She's probably busy.

I'm just speculating here but, you said you had been at her baby shower a few weeks ago, therefore it's safe to assume she's recently given birth and that the child is at most six months old. Babies at that age are generally very tiring, therefore she's most likely very tired and was unable to recall whether or not you where present at the aforementioned baby shower. Again, just speculating here.

What an idiot! Does she suffer from short term memory loss or something?!

I'd give her a pass. When you're pregnant, your brain won't work right. I forget words, places, the other day I forgot how old I am.

People seem to only want to know you when it benefits them...

That happens to all of us! I once remarked how I hadn't seen a friend in years, I'd seen them in the last month! I'm old so that's my excuse but I'm hearing about this pregnancy brain, never heard of it when I was having kids but, I guess it gives you amnesia!

Blame it on the pregnancy brain
