Today, it's my birthday. My grandma posted about it on her Facebook wall, but people got confused and thought it was her birthday instead. She got twice as many birthday wishes as I did, and that's including the ones I got outside of Facebook. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML
Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML
Today, my grandma commented on my Facebook profile picture: "That's a great photo! It doesn't look anything like you!" FML
Today, it was my birthday. None of my family members wished me a happy birthday and neither did the 1,000+ "friends" I have on Facebook either. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My grandma gave me a hug and a check after wishing me a happy birthday and walked away giggling. I was excited because it was the only gift I had gotten all day. Ten minutes later, I realized that it was actually just my tax refund. FML
Today, I updated my Facebook status to, "Party at my house this Friday. Like my status if you want to come." After about 3 hours I checked back to discover that the only person who'd liked my status was my grandma. FML
Today, my mother-in-law texted to wish me a happy birthday. She spelled my name wrong and it's not my birthday. FML
Today, I found out why my parents forgot my birthday. Facebook didn't remind them. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

For ****'s sake, when did our barometer of happiness become the number of likes we get on Facebook?

Too bad I can't thumbs up your message more than once.

But you're a guy and she's a woman how did people mess that up? It's not like you have the same name. Anyway, happy birthday OP hope it was good despite what happened

Makes sense, she's had many more years than you to make friends and acquaintances. It's nice she's has so many buddies in her old age and a FB account as well!

Well she's been alive for much longer than you. It's very likely she knows much more people than you and more mature people tend to choose quality over quantity so her ratio of real friends and facebook friends might be much higher than yours. Also people tend to be be kinder towards older people. Nobody wants a grandma to feel lonely and forgotten so everybody will wish her a happy bday even if they usually don't give a damn about bdays. Lastly, grandma using facebook? C'mon she deserves a like just for that.
