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

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.

I feel sorry for you. But at least you will never have to see those jerks faces ever again (the ones that didn't show up when they said they would)

OMG! that is some harsh stuff. :( I feel so sorry for you. TBH if i was you i would call each of them and be like...where were you? just to make them feel bad. Cause that is some really mean stuff. Hope new country turns out well and you find new and better friends.

That sucks. But at least you're leaving the country and will never have to see those people again! Make better friends next time.

That really is horrible. Dust yourself off and look forward to your new adventures. Don't look back. There is no point wasting your efforts on people like that. Have a GREAT time in your new country!

that's terrible = ( your "friends" suck.... why are you leaving the country forever? You'll never go back? And where was your family?

I agree with #8. Your mistake was throwing YOURSELF a going-away party. Sounds egotistical. Probably turned off a lot of your "friends." Maybe now that you're leaving the country you have a chance to start over, beginning with that attitude of yours.
