Today, my friends took me out to the most expensive restaurant in town to celebrate my promotion, we ordered everything with expensive drinks too. They 'took a smoke break' and left me with the bill. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, it's my birthday and my friends and I went to our favorite pub to celebrate. As I'm a little broke at the moment, they all offered to buy me birthday drinks. Which I later learned meant that they would order them for me and bring them to the table, but put everything on my tab. FML
Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML
Today, I wanted to take my girlfriend to a nice dinner before prom. Her parents followed her in, and joined us to "keep an eye on me." They interrupted all our conversations, ate an expensive meal, then got up and walked out when the waitress brought the $95 check, leaving me to pay for it. FML
Today, I thought it would be nice to take my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant for my birthday. She got a little headache after we ordered, so she went outside to get some air. I ate a $100 meal and had Happy Birthday sang to me by the restaurant staff. Alone. FML
Today, I treated my friends to lunch at a posh restaurant because it's my birthday. While we were walking leisurely around the mall afterwards, their boyfriends showed up. I spent the next few hours walking alone behind them while they were walking hand in hand with their boyfriends. FML
Today, a coworker invited me out for a date, totally out of the blue. I had no idea she liked me, but I did my best to impress. She ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, two bottles of wine, and eventually picked up and went home with our waiter. I got the bill. FML
Today, my family took me to a steak house. I went for an eight minute bathroom break, coming back to an empty table. They ordered dessert, and left me the bill. I'm a vegetarian, and it's my birthday. FML
Today, my friend took me and a bunch of other guys out to a nice dinner. This was his way to say thank you for helping him move to a new apartment. He got the cheque, excused himself to go to the restroom and never came back to pay. FML
Today, I was at a fancy restaurant with my boss, trying to make a good impression. I ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, only to later realize I'd forgotten my wallet. My boss had to pay for the meal, and I'm wondering if my job in accounting is now on the line. FML

FYL that sucks. Buuuuttt, hasn't this been done at least twice already? I'm thinking fake. But maybe not, as obviously, I don't really know, so who am I to judge?

Wow you're an idiot. You people make smoking seem like its the ******* devil. -_- You're all like "OMG ALL SMOKERS MUST BE KILLED NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!!!!" Seriously, shut the **** up. If people want to smoke, they can. Its not smart, but who gives a ****!

Seems it was a bit expensive lesson. On expecting how they would expect you to act, like you should treat them because you will earn more, and on assuring to take non-a...e friends to restaurant. I'm sure nothing would be same with those... Today after reading about people how they got fired because of evil actions of colleagues, I felt disgusted indeed.

Maybe because I learnt this language later and may be lacking in some parts. But this doesn't let you to be arrogant while I'm trying to tell something. Look at your past comments, easy to notice you...

I don't honestly see the point in people claiming things are fake; If it's funny, or something you could have possibly related to [even if made up], it's a good enough FML. IMO, anyway. Anyway, yeah; It sucks. Try and talk to 'em about it, see if there was any sort of reason behind it.. if not, they're crappy friends.

it's actually against FML guidelines to say something is fake

Apparently they're not really your friends after all. Also, first? it's hard to tell on iPhone FML. Fail on my part if not.

Dude, if you get a promotion you pay the dinner, that's how it works in the grown up world. Better learn that now than later, you cheap shit.

Yeah, if you get promotion, you pay for dinner or buy them drinks. But abandoning him there like that, with such cheap excuse. If I was there, I wouldn't leave like that, and if he wasn't aware of favor I expect, I'd pay for my own, and I'd do same if I sense he isn't willingly for that. They are leaving their friend like a bitch in brothel and disappearing. This is such rude.

Actually,when you get a promotion,you bit then a drink,not get a huge expensive dinner and pay 100% of it while your friends bail

You pay it if YOU were the one that suggested the dinner, but when your 'friends' take you out for dinner to celebrate it, he shouldn't be paying the bill for a dinner he was invited to...

What you can do is split the bill, I forgot to add to the ending.

I don't think your friends were really happy about your promotion. Bragging about all the extra money and the stock options didn't help. But, when you got really drunk and said how much you'd pay to **** each of their wives and/or girlfriends, the decided to ditch you. YDI for boasting.
