Today, I got a call from my friend who invited me to a theme party. It was a goth theme, and I decided to get real into it. I put on a trench coat, black skin tight pants, and black paint under the eyes. When I got there I was greeted by a kid in a pink popped collar. It wasn't a theme party. FML

Today, I had to walk through an extremely crowded pub wearing a dorky prisoner outfit to get to a dress-up party at the back. When we got there, I soon realised it wasn't fancy dress, but just black-and-white themed. FML

Today, I went to a theme party where everyone wore white shirts and brought markers to draw on them. I didn't know many people there but I still went around drawing on people's shirts. After a few hours, someone finally drew on my shirt. They wrote "I'm scary." FML

Today, I tried to boycott an 80's theme party by wearing my regular clothes. Everyone said they loved my costume. FML

Today, I went to a party that had a "dress like rock stars" theme. I got all the gear necessary to dress as Ozzy Osbourne. A wig, round sunglasses, a crucifix on beads, the usual stuff. Not one person at the party knew who Ozzy Osbourne was. Nor Black Sabbath for that matter. Someone thought I was Meatloaf. FML

Today, I finished making an awesome costume for a Halloween party my crush was attending. I then checked the invite and found out the party was last night. FML

Today, my friends threw me a Halloween themed party for my sweet sixteen. When I arrived, one of my friends jumped out from behind the door, dressed as Michael Myers. I peed myself in front of everyone I knew. FML

Today, I was invited to a fancy-shmancy charity event, and the host - my friend - told me to wear a long, ballroom, fancy gown. Turns out my friend was just being a dick and it was a pool party. I spent $200 on my hair and makeup alone. FML

Today, I was walking to my friends Halloween themed birthday party in my zombie costume. Apparently, my crazy coke addicted neighbor found the costume too realistic. He tackled me. FML

Today, I went to a costume party dressed as Prince. As I walked into the party, I realized that I was the only one who hadn't received the memo that the costume part of the party had been cancelled. I spent the evening awkwardly mingling with a group of confused strangers while dressed in purple satin. FML

Today, I was working a kid's birthday party dressed as a clown. The child's mother made me change because he was scared of clowns. The only thing I had in my car was a princess costume that was owned by a girl co-worker. So for 4 hours I had to entertain in a tight pink dress. I'm a guy. FML

At least you probably looked cooler than everyone else at the party.

So was it your friend being an ass or was it a misunderstanding of some kind? Also I agree with #1.

Ho-ho. I had a similar experience, although not as bad, where I made a real effort to look great for a fancy dress party, and when I got there people were wearing practically nothing unusual... I had the best costume, but it looked waaay OTT compared to the lame attempts by everybody else. At least you didn't dress up like a fairy.

Ew pink popped collar. Was his skin orange, and his hair highlighted and gelled up as well? If so, you should have kicked his ass. =<

Well when everyone hates you be because they all either went goth or wear pink shirts with popped collars, and you go goth out of misery, don't come complaining to us, buddy boy.

Goth and emo people just dress like that and act like that for attention. And I know they're both different styles, so don't give me shit for that.

63: Nope, alternative people dress the way they do because... you ready for it, arse face? Because they like the clothes, style and in a lot of cases the sub-culture that comes with it. You strike me as a judgemental twat. It must suck being an idiot. My condolences.
