Today, I had a going-away party because I am leaving the country forever. Out of the 130 people invited, 60 were a resounding, "Yes! Of course I will come!" After paying $300 for everything needed at the party, two ended up coming. And left because nobody else was there. FML

Today, I got a cross-country job promotion. I decided to plan my Going-Away-Forever party, and bought a pack of 100 invitations. After mailing them out to all my friends, I have 92 left. FML

Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML

Left out

By Anonymous - 12/06/2009 01:15 - Canada

Today, I saw some friends' cars at a friend's house, but thought nothing about it. Then I found pictures on Facebook of the pool party they had as a going away party for my friend, who is leaving the country for three months. I had no idea my friend was leaving, and I was the only one not invited. FML

Party hard

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

Family love

Today, I'd arranged a family reunion to see family I hadn't seen in years. Out of about 20 people, only 3 said they would come. One messaged to cancel the night before. The other two no-showed. FML

From experience, never throw yourself a going away party and expect folks to come. Just tell folks you are leaving and if someone wants to organize something they will and invite people over and set it up. I have heard of several friends inviting over a hundred people to these things, just to see only about 0-15 show up to send their good byes.

That sucks. I invited about 50 people to my I'm-leaving-the-country-forever part and all of them showed up, at least for a little while - I was actually kind of surprised, since we were all between 18-25 and there was no drinking allowed since my parents were afraid of upsetting the neighbours. We were rowdy and annoying anyway, so sucks to them

This is one of my biggest fears, though it's never actually happened to me. I have been the one of 2-3 people to show up to a party though, and once I was the only one. Tough, man. Your "friends" are dicks and at least you know who's worth it now.

exaggeration much? there's no way that that's true.

That sucks so much, I'm sorry. I'm agreeing with the others that said there must've been a misunderstanding though, since it seems a bit unlikely that only 2 of 60 people would turn up.
