Today, the shy girl in my class brought a cake to share with everyone, since it's her birthday. Excited about the cake, I got everybody to sing "Happy Birthday" for her, only to realize too late that nobody in the class knew her name, myself included. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I brought some cupcakes to my class for my birthday, like all the cool kids do. When it came time to sing happy birthday, the entire class said "happy birthday to" then forgot my name. Except my teacher. She said Steve. My name's Jeff. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday with my friend who has the same birthday by going out to dinner with a bunch of our friends. The waiter brought out a cake for my friend but not for me. No one noticed my exclusion. I sang happy birthday on my birthday. FML
Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML
Today, I realized that the only time I've ever been noticed by my classmates is when I brought cake for the potluck. FML
Today, at the supermarket, I bought a cake and had my friend's name put on it. It wasn't anyone's birthday, I just wanted to feel less ashamed about buying a whole cake for myself. FML
Today, it's my mom's birthday. I woke up at midnight to be the first to tell her happy birthday. When I awoke in the morning, I decided to bake her a cake. Little did I know my whole family was going out to lunch to celebrate. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I thought I was going to a friend’s birthday party. Turns out, it was a surprise party for someone else... and I was the surprise. Everyone shouted “Surprise!” and I realized I wasn’t invited. I awkwardly ate a cupcake and left. FML
Today, I showed up to my friend’s birthday party with a huge cake... on what turned out to be the wrong day. The actual party is tomorrow. Her family laughed and thought if was cute, but I just wanted the floor to open up and let me disappear. FML
Today, someone brought cake to class. Trying to get some attention from the guy I have a crush on, I asked if he wanted my piece of cake. He accepted it, and then offered it to another girl. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I am a triplet. In my first class, everyone sang happy birthday to my sister. Her friends got her balloons too. My other sister's friends got her flowers. Everyone forgot I was their sister and all of my own friends forgot that it was my birthday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Mulva? Delores? In the song, just stick in "you-ooh" and move on. Hey, why didn't she have her name on the cake?

Wow dude. That's just mean. Ya take cake from someone you don't know the name of and probably didn't even know what kind of person she could have been. It could've of been a cake full of laxitives as a prank but from it sounds like the girl wanted to make friends. Doesn't your teacher do role call or something?

FYL? How about the girl who's greatest fears pretty much came true--before she even blew out the candles? You have a LOT of Karma to make up for, you self-centered bitch. You can START by apologizing, and making an effort to know this person.

I don't understand this. Do american schools have freaking huge classes or something? When I was in highschool our classes were generally between 20 and 25 students, depending on the subject, and even if we weren't exactly friends with everyone in the class, we at least knew everybody's name, even if it was just from the teacher doing roll-call or calling on students in class or something. And generally at the start of the year each teacher would make a point of finding out who is who in the class, don't you pay attention when that happens?

'class' can mean either the group you learn, for example ,biology with or everyone in your grade... People saying that had a class of 500 are reffering to their grade not individual subject classes
