Today, it's my 25th birthday and all of the friends who promised they could come had excuses why they couldn't make it. Now I'm at the bar, alone. FML

Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML

Today, it was my birthday, and even the person who seemed excited about me finally turning 21 and can legally drink forgot. Guess who got drunk alone tonight? This guy. FML

Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML

Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends showed up at my house already drunk, so I had to be the designated driver. FML

Today, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner with two of my friends. They're both now bringing their boyfriends, so I get to be the fifth wheel to my own birthday dinner. FML

Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML

Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML

The only way to save this is if your friends are at your place fixing a surprise party. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

so you turn 25 this year too. i am now 25 years too in this year too... i think that your friend should tell you earlier if they cannot come to celebrate your birthday.

Awww I would have come.....if I knew who you are and where you were of course. No one should spend their birthday alone.

Hey all, OP here, thanks for the birthday wishes. I do have some good friends who I regularly go out with. But it is a Monday so I didn't expect a whole lot. The two friends I expected the most had to be up early for work and another fell down the stairs and broke 3 ribs. I know I will see them all soon. Plus who could ask for a better birthday present than getting an FML posted and a bunch of strangers wishing you happy birthday?! Hahaha. P.S. The bartender who carded me didn't even say happy birthday.

Omg My sisters birthday was yesterday~! So you share birthdays small world. We didn't do much c: I got her 100$ for concert ticket funds since she enjoys that stuff. Happy birthday to you I hope you get to celebrate later with people you care about

Having to get up early for work is a BS excuse if there ever was one OP. I mean sure it'd be fine if you were asking him/her to attend your kid's recital but damn it's your birthday party.

Yeah....that's the thing about getting older. Eventually no one gives a shit that it's your birthday. If you're really lucky, your significant other will actually remember and give you a card and maybe you'll go out to dinner.

I had my 25th last month. Spent it at a funeral as my grandfather left us just a day ago. Needless to say, I would have much rather had a lonely night at a bar.
