Today, it's my birthday and I'd invited quite a lot of my friends to come round and have some fun. When I got home, I saw a few cars outside. It turned out to be for the neighbours. I waited and waited; none of my friends showed up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd planned an outside party in my backyard, and I'd invited all of my friends. Only 2 of them showed up. It also rained today, even though it wasn't supposed to. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML
Today, I organised a birthday party for myself. There was supposed to be about 20 people coming. Not a single person showed up. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML
Today, I invited a bunch of friends over to hang out and watch a movie. It's been two hours since everyone was supposed to turn up, and no one has showed. Thanks, friends. FML
Today, as I returned home, I noticed some movement inside my house. Thinking it was a break-in, I called 911. It was my friends and some coworkers trying to throw me a surprise birthday party. Nobody's said a word to me since. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. 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?

I don't understand how stuff like this happens...even if I had just an acquaintance invite me to something for their birthday I would at least let them know if I couldn't make it. So rude.

Shove your birthday cake up their asses.

It might be more satisfying to actually eat the cake for him/herself.

Now that is truly, a waste of cake.

I'm thinking maybe he invited them on Facebook or something and they didn't see it? Or even if they did, everyone is "friends" with everyone on fb and invites their entire friend list to everything, so not replying is kind of socially acceptable there. If they saw a direct message or text and ignored it though, then that's kinda douchy.

I'm sorry to hear that man really, Happy Bday, know you know who your friends are.

I don't understand these FMLs. Did none of them say in advance that they couldn't make it, or did they all say they could make it and just agreed amongst themselves that they wouldn't go? Is there no communication? With all these group chats nowadays I find it hard not to know what's going on unless either none of them said they were going; or they're all just assholes. Either way, FYL OP.

Some friends they are.

It's even worse when you call them and they say something came up, or that they just didn't give a damn. No one deserves to be alone on their birthday. Happy Birthday :)
