Today, I went to a garden party my friend had invited me to. I soon discovered they had seriously downplayed the formality of the event, as I noticed trays of fancy hors d'oeuvres and glasses of champagne lined up on the table. I showed up with Kool Aid and Ritz crackers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I attended a party, thinking it was hosted by my friend. I showed up, mingled, had some drinks, and even played a couple of games. After about an hour, my friend called me and asked where I was. I'd crashed the wrong party. Everyone there was nice about it, but now I can never show my face there again. FML
Today, I was invited to a fancy-shmancy charity event, and the host - my friend - told me to wear a long, ballroom, fancy gown. Turns out my friend was just being a dick and it was a pool party. I spent $200 on my hair and makeup alone. FML
Today, I learned that my friend really can't be trusted to set up a party by herself. The only food she provided was tap water, a single sleeve of saltines, and Kraft singles. The only entertainment was Checkers and the first season of Frasier on DVD. We all pooled $250 for her to do this! What the hell happened!? FML
Today, I held a house party. For fun, I made sure all the beer was alcohol-free, so I could see which of my friends would be weak-minded enough to end up acting drunk. Three did. I was one of them. FML
Today, I thought I was going to a friend’s birthday party. Turns out, it was a surprise party for someone else... and I was the surprise. Everyone shouted “Surprise!” and I realized I wasn’t invited. I awkwardly ate a cupcake and left. FML
Today, I went to what I thought was my friend’s house for a barbecue. I walked into the backyard and started chatting with people I didn't recognize. After about 20 minutes, I realized I was at the wrong house, eating a stranger's food. FML
Today, I found out that my "friends" only invite me to their parties when they need a designated driver. Apparently I'm "not fun" because I don't drink, which "ruins the party". 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 went to the grocery store to stock up on booze for the weekend. After the cashier commented on the size my purchase, I claimed to be hosting a dinner party tonight. I'm not. FML
Today, someone handed me a drink at a wedding, so I awkwardly took a sip and commented on the taste. It turns out they were just trying to “Cheers!” me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm more concerned as to where OP got Kool-aid from, I don't think I've ever seen it sold in the UK. However OP is from Slough so probably one of the shops that has cheap stuff from everywhere...

#64 Actually there's sweet shops that stock American sweets (and sachets of Kool-Aid mix) in many places in the UK and Ireland (Mr. Simms is an example of this)

Tescos also has an American sweets aisle now too.

FYL. They should've been truthful to you about how formal it was. Hopefully you were not made fun of for showing up like that.

Well it doesn't hurt if the person asked. I normally do when I am unsure.
Michaelaarnett 22
I agree with you but it still would have been nice if they told the OP.

Stand up and yell 'fellas, knock off this high society crap and let's all get trashed on kool aid and crackers'

Who doesn't enjoy kool-aid? You should've just said you weren't planning on having any alcohol so you brought a non-alcoholic alternative
MomGirl 13
Ha! good one

Sounds like she might need some alcohol after this experience though.

You're gonna be the highlight of the party! I'd pick kool-aid over champagne any day.

#9 the only champagne I've ever had was risk shoot. kool-aid all day every day.

The foods are pretty sorry for how much they cost, too. Take Caviar. It's an acquired taste, yet its price suggests that it's some sort of delicacy. If I wanted something tasty, I'd just drop by the closest fast food place. Then again, I never really had any sense of class to begin with.

Hey! At least you tried, right?
