Today, my friends and I planned to go to a waterpark together. However, due to a "miscommunication," I, and only I, was given both the wrong time and the wrong meeting place. I spent three hours sitting in a parking lot in little more than my swimming suit. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 was meeting up with a friend in a town. He said he was at the restaurant we were going to meet at; I was too. Turns out I was in the wrong town. FML
Today, I went to the waterpark and my kids were fighting so I grounded them both. We concluded the day by boogey boarding on a mechanical wave. There was so much water I didn't realize my boobs had completely fallen out of my bikini. As revenge, my kids didn't tell me. FML
Today, a friend texted me to get a ticket and go to a theme park with her tomorrow. I bought a ticket and didn't hear from her until 5 hours later to say she was sorry, but she doesn't think she'll be going. It was $65 and non refundable. FML
Today, I invited my friends to meet up at the park. After asking twice, I finally got the text saying to meet them there. But when I got there, I realized they had already been there for a while. As I was walking up to them, I heard, "Why did you invite him?" FML
Today, I was set to meet my friends at a new, trendy café. I arrived early, eager to impress, but ended up walking into the wrong café and got stuck for an hour engaged in a disturbing conversation about serial killers with a total stranger who'd deludedly mistaken me for a long-lost friend. FML
Today, I was at the waterpark. I decided to go down a slide shaped like a funnel. On the way down, my bikini bottom untied. Then I got lodged in a V shape, arse first, in the hole at the funnel exit, exposing myself to the entire pool until I could slither out. FML
Today, I was swimming in the ocean with my best friend and a giant wave came and knocked off the bottom of my bikini. My friend told me that she would go get another bottom so I could walk onto the very crowded beach. She left me for half an hour, laughing from the shore with her entire family. FML
Today, as a good friend, I went to pick up my buddy from the airport. I arrived at the wrong terminal and waited for an hour before realizing he had landed an hour earlier at the other terminal. By the time I found his whereabouts, he'd already taken an Uber home. FML
Today, I invited over 30 people to come to the park with me since the day was nice and cool. I sat there for three hours by myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are you sure they're friends? I think you need some new ones.

Time to find new friends. Has that been said already? Either way congrats on lasting three hours. I know THAT'S been said already. Fyl, OP.

No chance it really was just a miscommunication? I've got a friend who is horrible at making plans. She constantly gets things confused, and if she does figure it out she often forgets to pass along the correct info to the person she previously gave the wrong info. Maybe the person you got your information from was that kind of person, that or your friends changed plans after making the original ones with you and forgot to add your name to the mass text/fb message alerting about the change of plans. Stuff like that really does happen. After all, if they didn't want you along it'd be easier to just not mention the plans to you at all. And 3 hours? You have some incredible patience.

Hello? I this day and age, people have cell phones. Three hours? Why didn't you call one of them. Sucks what happened but YDI.

Not everyone owns a cell phone. Maybe she can't afford it? About half of my friends don't own cell phones, including me.

Well you're in the minority because every kid from the age of 11 on up I know has a cell phone.

Cell phones are expensive. It's all well and good to be a part of Mommy's & Daddy's family plan, even if you have to pay the $15/mo. for your line. But there are a lot of people who don't have that luxury and have to choose between food or phone every month. Life sucks, but that's how it is for grown ups. *FYI, I'm sure at least one of OP's "friends" had a cell phone, but that doesn't make the argument less valid for the sake of this thread. And if OP didn't have one, it wouldn't matter if anyone else in the group did.

My limit for waiting would have been 20 mins tops.

They probably don't really like you. Maybe even sitting in another car laughing at you. FYL.

I personally would have called them before even leaving to the park. If they didn't answer after awhile it would be pretty clear what their intentions were, and with that not even go!
