Today, my friends were acting strange around me. This afternoon, I got a text asking me to meet them out for a couple of drinks. Because of all the strange acting, I decided to tell them I'd go and then not go. I just found out they had been planning me a surprise party. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. I was genuinely surprised—and also genuinely hungover from celebrating my birthday alone the night before because they'd all told me they were busy. 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, all of my friends stopped messaging me. I checked their Snapchat and Instagram accounts and saw that they were all at a party. When I confronted them, they assured me I was invited and should join them. When I arrived at the address, the house was empty. They gave me the wrong address. FML
Today, as I returned home, I noticed some movement inside my house. Thinking it was a break-in, I called 911. It was my friends and some coworkers trying to throw me a surprise birthday party. Nobody's said a word to me since. FML
Today, I'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. FML
Today, after I tried to plan a surprise party for my friend, and a series of miscommunications and accidental reveals, it turned it into a surprise party for myself. I walked into a room filled with people shouting, "Surprise!" FML
Today, I found out my friend has been texting my long distance boyfriend more than I do. When I confronted her about it, she confessed that it was because they had been planning a surprise appearance for me. I've never been surprised before, and I ruined my own surprise. FML
Today, my "friends" and I were supposed to go out to eat to celebrate finishing the last day of school, but with a full day of work first, I decided to go buy them donuts. They decided to ditch me while I was gone, and go early. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why wouldn't you just confront them instead of childishly lying to them like that?

Yeah, well the truth hurts. Even if her friends were acting strange and she was uncomfortable around them, she shouldn't have stood them up.

I have a friend just like you OP people like you never enjoy life. I call him the "ditchess" he bitches about every little thing. Takes constructive criticism way too seriously. Constantly decides to bail because assumingly in his mind he feels controlled and feels self-conscious and extremely picky about almost everything- where he wants to go,who he wants go out with etc. I'm sorry but YDI OP.

You're really dumb for not just asking or even demanding why they want to go out for drinks! If it was a birthday surprise party, then you're even dumber, since the proximity of your birthday should've been a clue. Are these friends such particularly shady people that it would make you lie and then ditch them? What, did you think they were going to murder you or something?!?!? YDI.

Way to go, OP! You sure showed them the full extent of your wrath! They won't do that again, ever. I can't even imagine the feelings of happiness that have overcome you by taking charge of your life. I mean the way that you demonstrated how much you HATE surprises to your friends, wow, just inspiring. OK, OP, I am going to wish you a happy birthday. Are you ready, I don't want it to be a surprise. Ready? Happy Birthday!

Wow, not only were you paranoid, but you acted like a total bitch. Seriously, you could have just told them you'd rather not go, instead of lying and having them wait for you. I hope they never throw you another surprise party ever again.

Maybe they did have radical plans with you and you managed to dodge the bullet. Don't you see? the surprise party was just a cover! OP's mind has saved him!
