Today, my exchange student asked me for a ride to a party at a friend's house that I didn't know about. When I said, "Oh, just let me change", she replied, "I just need the ride, you're not invited." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after having a fight with my BFF, she invited me to come along to a party. I found out later that she'd only invited me so that when returning from the event, we could take a taxi and split the cost. FML
Today, I was confronted by a friend, who I didn’t invite to an outing with the rest of our friends because we think she’s annoying. I'd posted a photo and I'd apparently forgot to exclude her from viewing it in the post settings. She’s also my ride to and from school. She told me, “I hope you can afford Uber/Lyft.” FML
Today, I was sleeping when my roommate walked in and asked me, "So… when are you leaving?" She had decided to throw a party in our apartment. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I got a call from a girl I know, asking if I could babysit her little brother at my house tonight. I said yes. When the boy came over, he mentioned that his sister was having a party and didn't want him there. Turns out all my friends were invited except me. FML
Today, I was invited to a party. Since I rarely get invited to any, I was super pumped. Both my parents work late, so I texted a couple of people to see if I could catch a ride. It turned out everyone's cars were full. I ended up missing one of the only parties I've ever been invited to. FML
Today, a friend who I hadn't seen in a while offered to give me a ride. I didn't really know how to give directions to my house, so when we had been driving for a while and it was getting awkward, I just pointed at a random house and pretended to live there. FML
Today, I invited my only friend to my birthday party and she said no, not because she couldn’t go, but because she didn’t want to. FML
Today, the friend I was supposed to meet said, "Oh, I forgot to put it in my calendar." She than suggested all our friends drive out to her place in the morning (instead of the agreed afternoon) when I was unable to attend, which she knew. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't cool enough to be invited to a college party that happened last night. The one in charge of inviting people was my girlfriend of two years. FML
Today, I went to a concert with a friend of mine. When his dad came to pick him up, I walked towards the car, expecting a ride. His dad told me he didn't have time to drive me home. I'm his neighbour. FML

She isn't even allowed.. When you're an exchange student, there is a rule called the 3 D's. No drinking, No driving No dating So she shouldn't even go to that party

Wow you would've been fun to live with.!!! Kids can go to parties without doing those things they didn't come to this country to sit in the bedroom of an old couple. They came to experience life

I've met a ton of exchange students and have gone on a work exchange program and I have never heard of this "rule". It sounds more like a cautionary "don't do this or there could be unforseen consequences"

#47 I once seriously considered going on an exchange programme (I didn't qualify as I was too old at the time) and I remember them telling us those rules. If you broke them, you could be sent home immediately. However, I went on a home stay programme about a year or two later, which is pretty much the same as an exchange programme, and I don't remember them once telling us about the three Ds. So maybe it depends on the company you use. But yes, #27 is being unreasonable by saying that the exchange student can't go to the party. You can go out and not drink you know

These rules don't apply in Canada. I have participated in the exchange program myself as well as had many exchange students in my classes. You are expected to follow the laws of the country, ergo no underage drinking, driving without a licence etc, but dating is not part of those rules.

That has to suck OP, I would've told her to start walking.

If she was an exchange student it was likely a party between the kids and the parents wouldn't have a role in how many if you would've taken your parent to a party because they dropped you off?

I am assuming OP is the same age as her, normally with exchange students you have them come over for a bit and then later you go over to their country and live with them.

I get the feeling unlike for a taxi, she had no intentions of contributing anything
