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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

I too was born on 12/31. My 13th birthday was on Y2K. I spent weeks cleaning the house, sent out about 60 invitations. 1 person RSVP'd. 5 minutes before the party, her mother calls saying she can't come because she punched her brother in the face. A few days later, I saw her brother at school without any black eyes. I asked him what happened. He said his mother lied because she didn't want my friend away from home because the world was going to end. That was 10 years ago. I spent my 13th birthday alone.

Happy Birthday to you. Mine's on the 1st January, so I usually have it a week or so after, if ever.

YDI for being that stupid. It's New Years... of course people are going to want to go to a New Year's party. My birthday is in the summer, and I've never had a birthday party on the WEEK of my birthday, never mind the day... because at least eighty percent of my friends are on holiday in the summer and there's never a date where everyone is at home (because my birthday is right in the middle of the holidays). Get over yourself and stop throwing a birthday party on the biggest party night of the year.
