Today, I was admitted to hospital for suspected kidney failure. I called my best friend to let her know I couldn't make it to her birthday party tonight. She seemed to be infinitely more upset that I wouldn't be able to give her a birthday present. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the hospital with stomach pains. I found out I have mono, as well as a ruptured ovarian cyst, which may need surgery. I called my best friend for support, only for her to drunkenly yell at me for not being at her party, and that this could have waited till a better time. FML
Today, I found out that my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited. I had just finished planning a surprise party for her. FML
Today, I'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. FML
Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. FML
Today, I found out I can't go to my best friend's birthday party. To cheer me up, my parents decided to take me and my brother to my favorite pizzeria for dinner. When I was ready and went downstairs, I discovered they left already. They forgot me. 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 had to help one of my best friends while he was having a seizure. Earlier this morning my longtime girlfriend broke up with me. Oh, and also earlier this week I found out my other best friend has cancer. Lord take me now. FML
Today, I realized that I’ve gone out of my way every year to make everyone around me’s birthday extra special. I can’t remember the last time anyone celebrated or remembered mine. This year my “best friend” scheduled her elective surgery I’m supposed to take her to on my birthday. What a party. 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, after I'd given myself a week off work for my birthday, and my alcoholic sister decided she needed to go to rehab, which then hijacked the whole week for her crisis, at 4:30 am, the morning I'm supposed to return to work, I end up in the ER with a first time kidney stone. The next thing I know, she's in the ER for an injury. FML

I don't believe she deserves the title "best friend". Or "friend" at all, for that matter.

I agree. At least the other person has cake. After the party she should bring a slice of cake and wait with you for your results to come in. Btw before this gets thumbed down, Noor, you are one day older than me if your birthdate is true, happy early birthday =)

For some reason my profile says 24th, and it won't let me fix it. But it's the 25th of this amazing month

If your best friend cares more about presents than your health, I would hate to meet your other friends.

Your friend sounds selfish, to just think about presents than your health

Hopefully an ex-friend now, she doesn't seem worthy of your friendship if she is more concerned with material goods than your well being.

What a horrible person! When my best friend was in a coma I sat with her every day until she woke up. I failed a course because of that but I don't regret it one single bit. I couldn't imagine abandoning someone when they need you the most. Hope you feel better soon OP.

Not sure if her birthdate is correct but happy early birthday to you both. :)

She's not a real friend! Make some new ones instead of dealing with the shallow one! You deserve a better friend OP. Just think positive! :)
