Unlucky for some

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I went to a big family dinner. I didn't realize I hadn't been invited until we were about to sit down to eat. There were 12 chairs, 12 plates, 12 forks, and 12 glasses. I was the 13th person to arrive. FML

That's when you sit down on the host's place

It's cause when 13 dine, the first to rise is the first to die

12 chairs and only 12 forks? Is this the dining philosophers problem or something?

FMLs are getting less funny, this is nothin to FML over

It's bad luck for 13 people to eat together in old superstition. "The first to rise will be the first to die!"

I don't get it! If the host didn't invite you, you weren't invited! I know I grew up in a different era but, geez! Have things changed that much? Even if another family member told you/invited you, you're not really welcome unless the host/hostess invites you! A good etiquette lesson for you, OP!

Take a hint dude geez. Showing up uninvited is rude.

This is what I would have said "Oh, I see that I'm not family. Well **** THE LOT OF YOU THEN". I would have left, slammed the door behind me and then ignored any of the 'family' that tried to contact me afterwards. If they cared, it would make them feel really bad.

Did you curse any newborn babies to death out of anger of not being invited?
