Thanks guys

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 found out that my work threw me a birthday party alongside my coworker’s birthday. Said coworker spread a rumor, telling everyone that I wanted each person to buy me flowers and cake. Everyone thought that I was a weirdo for asking for those things from them. I wasn't at work today. 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, a close friend told me she had no plans for her birthday. I found out she was lying when I had to serve her and nine other mutual friends dinner at the restaurant I work at. I don't know what's worse, the fact that I wasn't invited or that none of them even remembered that I worked there. FML

Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. 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

She noped out of that one

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

Surprise!

Today, it was my birthday. Normally, the little office I work in throws a big party for every employee on their special day, but nothing was done for me, not even a "Happy Birthday" came my way. I didn't want to be rude, so I stayed silent. They didn't do anything because I was getting laid off. FML

Today, I spent a lot of money buying a birthday gift for a close friend, only to find out I'm not even invited to the party. FML

You were thoughtful and kind and karma comes back ten fold. Don't be upset that your co-workers are knobs, because what goes around, comes around and the universe recognises and will eventually acknowledge the goodness in you.

well normally people arent like that for no reason, you probably pissed someone off or you're really weird/annoying to get ditched like that, but dont worry everyone has their quirks.

Am I the only one who thought perhaps OP got the cake etc. *during* lunch, and so he just wasn't around to be invited? It could've been an impromptu thing.

How is that nice? I'd call it "being a fake, lying bitch". Being nice would be inviting the OP, or even RESPECTFULLY saying "I don't think we should be friends anymore", instead of childishly and cowardly holding a secret party.

I get treated like this at work too. everyone else gets asked to lunch except me. my advice, don't get involved with all that office drama. you are actually better off for it. sorry they treated you like that.

it sucks, doesn't it? Anyway, FYL OP. It's not like it's your fault. Try holding your own party, and inviting her (pretending that you didn't know she held one behind your back). Say something to the effect of "It's a shame you didn't have a party", making her feel guilty. Or alternatively, you could hold your own party and not invite her :)
