Today, one of my teachers asked me to babysit their kids saturday night. She didn't forget that it was Prom night, she was going to chaperone it. My teacher assumed I wasn't invited to Prom... I wasn't. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 had to work at the restaurant instead of going to the prom, which nobody asked me out to. For five hours, I got to shamefully greet and seat people on their way home from the prom, all of whom knew I was too lame to get asked out. FML
Today, a woman got out of a car to scream at me as I was walking with the kids I babysit, demanding to know where I was taking her children. Apparently the woman who pays me is also a babysitter, who I have been "covering" for on her party nights. The mother doesn't believe I didn't know this. FML
Today, I had numerous calls from people saying they need a baby sitter, because "they know I wasn't invited anywhere". 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, 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, my piano teacher told me that she "forgot" to inform me that she volunteered me to play a 5-page song in a recital in front of 300 people that's happening next week. FML
Today, I realized the reason I was asked to babysit 3 weeks ago for Feb 14 was because the old married couple with kids safely assumed that I wouldn't have a Valentine. FML
Today, I was looking through my high school yearbook. I found a picture of myself and a couple of my friends at our senior prom. The caption gave the names of all my friends, their dates who didn't attend our school, and listed me only as "Guest." FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML

I'm confused. Unless you're not a senior (well even that depends on where you live), why would you need to be invited?

That's messed up. But it's kind of lame to not go to prom just because you don't have a date. A lot of my friends just went in big groups and had fun. Unless you're saying you don't have friends at all, or ALL your other friends had dates except you... In which case, FYL for sure. Hey at least you'll be getting paid!

I think you should have charged her waaaaay more than regular cause it was prom night dont worry though take the 150 something dollars you would have spent to go to prom and buy yourself something nice you'll see that theres alot of things you can get that are better than a stupid highschool dance

Well, instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you should have gone with friends or even alone, where all your friends will be.

I refused to go to prom. My girlfriend went with some friends because I had no interest in spending hundreds of dollars on a silly dance. I went to work instead.

The social construct of public high schools only foreshadows how ****** up people are in the real world.

The real world isn't at all like high school, and going to prom is a last-ditch attempt at holding onto that high school mentality. So really you're doing yourself a favour by being more mature than your classmates. Now that's only if you're a senior, otherwise you're a retard for wanting to go to prom when you're not even graduating.

Aww, it happens to the best of us. *hugs* Feel better...if you said yes to babysitting, at least you're making moolah while everyone else is spending it! :)

Charge her an extra 20% for having to babysit on prom night then. Not only are you saving yourself some money but you're gaining extra money.
