Today, my family threw me a surprise party for my 29th Birthday. My brother-in-law sent me a text telling me they were all waiting for me to arrive. Thinking it was at my sister's home, I drove two hours there. It was actually at my parents' house. I missed my party and they ate my cake. FML

"Hey, dude, we're throwing you a surprise birthday party. We're waiting for you." "OK, I'm on my way to a party and I have no idea where it is." I see 3 things wrong with that conversation: 1) He spoiled the surprise 2) He didn't tell you where the party was 3) You didn't bother to ask where the party was

They sent you a text to tell you they were ready to surprise you with a birthday party?

wow you get birthday parties every year? your 29 years old your an adult you should only get them at milestones like 30, 35, 40... you parents spoil you, you should be thankful that they did thought to do that. so what if they ate your cake. its the thought that counts. i didnt even get a sweet 16 birthday party last year.

My family has small birthday parties every year. Like for example, on my dad's bday every year we go to his brother's house and they have a cake for him and make him his favorite meal for dinner. :)

Maybe 29 was more surprising than 30. That's sad you didn't get a 16th birthday party, but it's not spoiling if someone else gets a birthday party. You're never too old for one. Be youthful and celebrate life!

If it's a surprise party, why would they make it known that "they're all waiting?"
