Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it is both my birthday and Easter. My whole family came into town and my mom made a big dinner with all of my favorite foods. After church, I took a nap. When I woke up, all the food, including my cake, was gone. No one thought to wake me up. FML
Today, I traveled 3 hours to a town I hate, to spend my birthday with my mom and brother and his family. My mom didn't realize it was my birthday until the cake slice with candles was placed in front of me. FML
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 missed a call from my mom. It's my birthday, and glad she remembered, I called back to thank her. She was surprised when I brought up going out for dinner, and asked me what the occasion was. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to treat me out to dinner and cake for my birthday. My mom felt left out and yelled at my girlfriend in an angry tirade. My girlfriend went home. I'm spending my birthday, alone in my room. FML
Today, I woke up and took my mom to work. It wasn't until after I got home, logged on Facebook and looked at the upcoming birthdays to see that it was her birthday today. No wonder she was silent the entire car ride and slammed the door on the way out. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I went downstairs expecting birthday greetings from my parents. Instead, they just sat on the couch saying nothing. Thinking they forgot, I casually reminded them. My mom scoffed and said, "Go do the dishes." FML
Today, I've been so stressed out that I forgot my own birthday. I only remembered when my mom talked to me to let me know she wasn't planning on doing anything for it. FML
Today, it's my roommate's birthday. His friends were planning on a surprise birthday cake at midnight last night, and one of them told me about it, hoping to split the expense between us, which I was totally cool with. But I fell asleep before midnight and they didn't even bother to wake me up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's ridiculous. Especially after you put effort into making your mom's day special. I say confront them about it. There's no reason for them to be suck dicks to you.

Pop quiz. Pixie, your comment was: A) A typo, since k is next to h B) A Freudian slip C) You baiting Boners as a thinly-veiled ploy to seduce him I vote C. :)

why wouldn't they invite you? :( mean!

Were there actual invitations to a lunch? Those things are often decided in casual conversation. They may have just assumed you knew. Not being invited wouldn't actually mean not welcome in that case. Put some salve on your arse and don't ruin your mum's birthday after you were working so hard to make it special.

I rebuke your use of "bastardise", sir.

To be quite honest, his slang isn't the worst I've heard. Of course, it still is a slap in the face to the english language, and the slang-speakers should go back to kindergarten to at least learn the basics of spelling. It really doesn't take much time to turn "cuz" into "because". And honestly, which one sounds more civilized and educated? I realized this years ago and I'm still in high school.

Sorry, but I don't find the following statement to be very impressive. "I realized this years ago and I'm in highschool." Does it matter? I know people will think my ******'s hurting, but seriously, individuals who brag are just as annoying as individuals who cannot correctly construct sentences. And Doc, is "bastardise" a word? It sounded like it might be, but now I'm doubting myself.
Sinkhole 26
It is a word, obviously the Doc is rebuking its use because he's DocBastard after all. The word 'bastardise' should have a completely different meaning in this website!

**** the whole Universe . Einstien's parents and teacher used to think he was retarded but he didn't give a shit and now the whole world respects him .

That would have to be one of the least logically connected things I've ever seen in a post.
SirSami 2
my point is that if your family doesn't like you its not the end of the world .
SirSami 2

Fair enough I guess. I missed reading the comment that got moderated, but I'll just go **** myself on spec.

A little harsh, don't you think? I mean, come on. We know that it was unbelievable what they did, but do something less extreme.

28, you're obviously dumb as shit. seeing as both the OP and the mother live in the same house, they'd both be ******, right?
