Today, I was leaving work when I realized I had forgotten my bag on my desk. As I went back to get it, I overheard my co-workers talking about "last night's office party." I wasn't invited. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML
Today, I found out my co-workers don't actually like me when they changed the hangout spot after accidentally inviting me. FML
Today, I got an invitation to the "Going away lunch" the company is throwing for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I accidentally left the tag on the new pants that I wore to work. Nobody had brought it to my attention for the whole day until finally, before I was about to go home, every single employee and my boss let me know by yelling in unison and laughing as I left the building. FML
Today, I went to work in my best outfit for the big corporate party we were having later in the day. When I arrived, my boss said, "You missed one hell of a party yesterday!" Shit. FML
Today, I was sleeping when my roommate walked in and asked me, "So… when are you leaving?" She had decided to throw a party in our apartment. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Office parties are just chances for awkward situations to happen between people you're stuck seeing everyday. Better off you didn't go OP

They don't like you

Get your résumé up-to-date and start looking for something else, because it's easier to get a job when you have a job. When it comes time to lay off people, it won't be your value or competence that will matter, it will be your popularity and you are lacking in that department. It would be better to leave on your terms and not on theirs. Standing on desk in the middle of the cube farm doing a crazy ranting rendition of "Take This Job and Shove It" while naked is a great way to go out.

Asshole coworkers. Damn.

Time to take a hard look in the mirror and figure out why you weren't invited. Maybe it's them but it could be your behavior isolating you from them.

Congrats on being "that guy". On a serious note, see why everyone is avoiding you. It could be confronting, but then you at least know. Perhaps your coworkers are indeed dicks, but if everyone avoids you, it makes you wonder...

Maybe make a little more effort in talking to your colleagues during lunch and such? Even then it's not the end of the world. I only went on staff nights out if I actually liked my colleagues.

well at least now you know to keep your work like and social life separate so you won't be disappointed next time.

A cubicle rager. Don't worry OP, it was probably shitty anyways.

Working on my college campus, people would organize parties all the time. I didn't get invited to any of them.

You look pretty cool, but maybe they didn't want you to sing like a killer whale.

Eh I wouldn't worry about it. Office parties are office parties. You can have a much better time partying with your friends instead of backstabbing coworkers anyway.

#26, actually, the OP should worry about it. When everyone else goes out of their way to avoid inviting the OP, it means she is not "well liked." And being "well liked" is the most important thing when working in any organization.

Willy tried that and he ended up jobless and dead.
