Today, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, I got officially uninvited to a party. This is the third one this month. FML
Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML
Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." 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, I invited my only friend to my birthday party and she said no, not because she couldn’t go, but because she didn’t want to. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML
Today, I'd organized a small dinner with immediate family for my birthday. I’ve since received texts from every one of them, cancelling due to varying reasons. My parents excuse is the funniest - they went out last night for a coworker’s party, and don’t want to go out again tonight. For me. Their child. FML
Today, I had a big party planned. All but one of the guests cancelled. See you at 7, mom. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This happens occasionally to me because my birthday is on Valentines day, and it turns out people would rather have some romantic ******* than celebrate my birthday! But FYL

Seriously get over it, and have your party a week late next year. Most people can't have their parties on their birthdays, so it's not a big deal. It's not like you were born on February 29th or something.

My birthday is also on the 31st, but everybody comes to mine, even if they can't stay the whole time.

I think some of the assholes on here are people who don't know what its like to have birthdays around holidays.... Mine is a week before one and I still have people bein asses, no matter if I make it somethin cheap... and not like I'm expectin gifts either.... then there's people who DO say they'll come but don't... At least the ones that are honest and up front about not wantin to bother goin to your party are better.... So no, people, even having it on "another day" doesn't always work... some people are just assholes and you wonder why you're even friends with them.................. then you have to decide if you want to be petty or be the bigger person to show them how much of a better person you are when their birthday comes around.... cause god forbid you point out how they ditch your party but expect you to come to theirs.... sigh

What kind of idiot has a birthday party on New Years Eve!? Especially when no one ever goes to it! Are you an idiot?
