It's on me

Today, it's my birthday. My best friend called me at work and offered to take me out to lunch. When he went to pay for the meal, his card was declined so I told him not to worry and that I would pay for the birthday meal. He looked at me and said, "It's your birthday?" He was serious. FML

Well, at least you know that he is willing to be that nice on ANY day! Right?

Your best friend takes you out for dinner and offers to pay for the entire meal for no reason at all. How is this an FML? You have an awesome best friend :)

Seems like you're the only person who commented who realized this guy's friend was just trying to get a free meal out of him.

realistically what is more important? that your friend remembers some random date, or that he is there for you when you need him, and that he hangs out with you and treats you like it's your birthday even when he doesn't know it is... way to be shallow op

At least he just wanted to take the OP to lunch. They didn't even know it was their birthday..

Exactly what I was thinking. I think I'd be happier to know that my best friend is willing to randomly take me out to lunch, rather than just on special occasions.

he was clearly just trying to get a free meal since he "forgot" his wallet

he didn't "forget" his wallet, his credit card was declined.

exactly my thoughts, i would be happy

Is it really so wrong for people to say something like "I want to make plans for my birthday" to avoid these sorts of situations?

Your best friend takes you out for dinner and offers to pay for the entire meal for no reason at all. How is this an FML? You have an awesome best friend :)

And the birthday boy ended up paying anyway. :3

His kind to you anyways, my own mom forgetts my birthday. this is not an FML
