Today, it's my birthday. I was heading back to my apartment and I heard noises behind the front door. Assuming it was the surprise party I'd hinted at, I flicked on the lights… as two heavy guys pushed past me. I was robbed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I came home from work when I heard people in my apartment. My apartment was supposed to be empty, so I entered ready to fight some thieves. I rushed in and hit the closest person to me before the lights switched on. It was a surprise party. I broke my girlfriend's cheek-bone. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and I was going over to my friend's house for dinner. When I walked in, everyone yelled, "Surprise!" and then turned on the lights. When my friend looked over at me, she said, "Wrong person guys, turn off the lights." FML
Today, I got mugged on the way to my 21st birthday party at a bar. I begged the thug to at least throw me my ID, only to have him laugh and run away singing, "Happy Birthday." FML
Today, I was playfully walking back to my car with my girlfriend. My door was unlocked. I then noticed my car had stuff scattered inside. A bum had just robbed and ransacked my car. FML
Today, I was throwing a surprise birthday party for my friend. As we all hid in the dark waiting for him to arrive, I unexpectedly sneezed so loudly that I scared everyone, and they jumped out before he had even finished unlocking the front door. FML
Today, it was my birthday. But instead of a decent surprise, my friends decided to smash a cake on my face and unhook my dress, while taking a video of it. In a public shopping mall. FML
Today, I threw a party while my parents were gone. I forgot that our alarm automatically turns on at 11 pm, so when people opened the door, it went off. I couldn't find the number for the alarm company, so the cops showed up. Everyone started cheering because they thought they were strippers. FML
Today, after quite a long work day, I got home to find my house had been broken into. Everything but my sleeping boyfriend was gone. FML
Today, was my birthday. My friends love to play pranks on me, so when I entered the door for my surprise party, I became aware of the surroundings. There was nothing. Everyone was staring as I slowly entered the room. When I closed the door behind me, a freaking bucket of pee fell all over me. FML

Maybe your surprise is all new stuff and those were the movers taking out all your old junk!! Hahaha unless you live in la la land then I think your pretty much screwed op. Happy Birthday! Oh and your life sucks. Lol.

It was a burglary actually, for it to be a robbery, there had to be violence before, during or immediately after you had something stolen from you. Not that I am offended, just so you would want to know :)

The push could have been pretty violent when they ran out! You never know. :o

That is very true, it would be difficult to prosecute for though. Much better to have a strong aggravated burglary charge than a weak robbery charge :). Nice hair btw

It's stuff like this which makes me want to keep a baseball bat, a taser gun, and a bottle of Axe spray deodorant next to my door. Before any asks, the Axe spray deodorant is like easy-to-buy really cheap Mace since it can make your eyes sting upon contact with the spray ;)

But he/she was not in the apartment whilst it was being burgled so stuff by the door would just be more stuff to get stolen.

Sounds like you just let them walk by you as you stood there...wouldn't you go after them/ call cops regardless?

Not if it was un expected or they were armed! Some people don't know what to do in stressful situations like that. Poor Op was probably in shock and still registering the situation
