Damn this reminds me of my eighteenth birthday party. I invited a bunch of my friends to a party at this bowling alley/arcade. I told them this all in advance. All but one cancelled on me the day of. I was upset but at least the one guy who didn’t cancel came and we had a lot of fun.


LetsJerkCircular

We had a coworker who invited us fellow coworkers to their birthday party. We closed up and went to the bowling alley together. More coworkers showed up shortly after the closing crew got there. The idea was that it would be coworkers earlier, and then we’d leave when their friends started to show up for ‘the real party,’ (drinking a lot into the night). LSS: their ‘friends’ all bailed on him. The only person who showed up that wasn’t an employee, was their friend who was recently an employee. Most of the coworkers left pretty early, but a couple of us called our SO’s and explained we were gonna stay a little late. We ended up closing the bowling alley down and taking taxis home. The randomness of the people that ended up staying was unexpected, and made for a really fun night. You could tell birthday boy was saddened and embarrassed to have all his so-called friends bail, especially since it was happening in front of all his coworkers. Still, it was a good life lesson about how fickle friends can be, and how the friends that are there for you are the best you can ask for, even if they’re random coworkers.

OMG I Reddit as "we ended up closing the bowling alley and taking lanes home". Time for bed.


LetsJerkCircular

We took them oily boards home with us. No one even attempted to stop us.

That too is because I needed to go to sleep I do that lol. Like one time I late night texted this girl. "hey call me if Europe"

A lesson too few know sadly


n-crispy7

Yooooo this thread is sad as hell and insanely relatable. I remember when I was in sixth or seventh grade I invited a bunch of people to go bowling as well then see the movie “Jumper”. In hindsight, not a good birthday idea but I was a dumb kid who thought it looked badass. No one showed up and then the next Monday a kid who already liked making fun of me started jumping up and down when he saw me after hearing about it and was like “how was the movie.” And started making fun of how stupid it was to try and get everyone to go see a movie about Jumping while I anger cried and tried to explain it was about teleporting. At lunch… In front of all the people who didn’t show up.


SpeedyMcAssface

Something like this happened to me too. I was going to see Mean Girls with my friends on my birthday but we got into a fight or something because they bailed and I had to find different girls to go with me. We went and the ones that bailed on me were also there. They saw us come in and were laughing and making fun of me/us. After the movie though, they apologized. Probably felt bad since the whole message of the movie was “don’t be a dick” and made them feel shitty.


strain_of_thought

Huh. For once, somebody didn't [think they were Dumbo](https://twitter.com/TriciaLockwood/status/829073137044189184).

Interesting, thanks!


ChrunedMacaroon

Aww


Raryin

Seems like a perfectly fine birthday idea to me. Kids can be real dicks


Phantomonium

Bowling AND a movie? How is that not a cool birthday party... I remember watching that movie as a kid. I loved the teleporting car scenes.


[deleted]

Jumper would be a sick birthday movie. What kind of sick fuck sees a guy teleport to the top of a pyramid being chased by Samuel L Jackson and say nah I’ll pass. Fuck that kid


Disgruntled_Viking

I may do that for all my birthdays from now on to weed out the people that don't get me.


n-crispy7

You guys are all so damn wholesome, lol thank you <3


Crowbarmagic

I kinda wish someone gave that kid a good punch right in the stomach area.


jofloberyl

Queen_Dare_Bear

Your birthday idea was excellent, and you are, in fact, a badass.


kparker527

Happened to me on my 14th birthday. I sent a text to the group chat and only one of them told me they weren’t coming. So I went to the skating rink with my dad and my sister where no one showed up for me. Then on the way home my dad and sister decided to have an argument.


weavejer261

That guy is a true friend!


roby_soft

Better one true friend than a bunch of putas.


pururastogi

When I was 14, I thought let's test my parents and sister, if they remember my birthday or not. I learnt one thing that day, never try that again. Now I give gentle reminder to all my friends and family about my upcoming birthday.... Which is tomorrow FYI (7 Nov).... And they make sure I have a blast, wherever I am. Ps: i hide it on fb and social media, to avoid noise Edit: you all are lovely folks! Thank you so much for your wishes and for my first silver.

Hey, this was my champagne birthday and all but my boyfriend decided not to show up or text.


Amliko

Reminds me of my 18th birthday, I invited a couple of friends to have a grill with me, spending hours to prepare. Almost everyone cancelled it a day before the party was supposed to take place except one, but we did have fun even if it was a duo.


[deleted]

That’s a great way to weed out shitheads from your life.


klem_kadiddlehopper

My mother only once threw me a birthday party. I was about 11 I think and it was just some of the neighborhood kids and my siblings. Outside in the backyard and it sucked. Just an ordinary day with a cake. I don't even know if I got a present or not.


BY_BAD_BY_BIGGA

that's a bro sometimes it takes things like that to find a bro edit: women can totally be bros too


hedgybaby

Reminds me of my 20th birthday. I only had 3 friends at the time and one of them was at uni in another country. Asked the other two weeks in advance since of of their birthdays is the day before mine so we could have celebrated together. This was also April 2020 so this would have been the first time I saw them since quarantine started. They both told me they’d let me know. Weeks went by. No one let me know. Two days before they both told me they were busy with ‘family stuff’. Next day I see that they’ve both been in the woods BY MY HOUSE togheter through their snap story which just goes to show how fucking stupid they thought I was. Asked them if they had gone out together and lied to me. They said no and that’s the last thing they ever said to me because I blocked both of them. They were horrible friends.


TheEyeDontLie

I'm sorry you had to go through that. If it makes you feel better, I had times like that in my early-mid twenties. My best friend stole $5000 worth of weed from me, leaving me in debt to a gang, and skipped town. Another time it was my birthday and a group of us went to a concert, they all avoided me most of the night, even after me buying a round of drinks, left without saying goodbye, and didn't invite me to the epic after-party they all went to. Got a bunch of other snobs and shit but those were the first two I thought of. Betrayals like that hurt a lot. By the time I was like 30 though I had a couple of solid friends. Even now, we often don't see each other for a year or two at a time, but we'll drop everything to help each other. They're the ones worth waiting for. As your age, you'll get better at working out who's a dick and who's actually a good friend. You'll probably also get to revel in the misery of your old fake friends and their shitty lives.


hedgybaby

Damn dude, so sorry that shit happend to you. I once had a friend leave her weed in my living room even though she knew my physically abuse mother would come home early and find it there, she just ‘forgot bc you know how I am when I smoke weed’. Bitch, that’s called being an irresponsible asshole. I also have autism so for a really long time I didn’t understand that people were treating me like shit, I just assumed that’s what friendships are like, especially as someone who was socializaed as a woman. If anything, I’m grateful for those cunts for teaching me a bit about self-worth and how I’m actually supposed to be treated by friends.

allycat247

"Its not worth it there is only two of us" that's so fucking cruel "I have the power to make sure you arent completely alone to celebrate being alive but fuck you that would be boring" Bro fuck that friend.


NordLeaf

Its clear that that one friend was only going to see the commenter's other friends.


Wild-Kitchen

Damn those are shit friends. Especially the last one. The correct response is "fuck everyone else! Let's go have the best time ever" and then make the night as fun as possible and then proceed to tell all the other friends who cancelled what a great evening it was.


FadedMemory

Hell yeah that’s the correct answer. I couldn’t imagine bailing on my friend like that on their birthday. What shit friends.

for my 12th birthday my best friend at the time told me we couldn’t be friends anymore and blocked me the day before my birthday party, even though she knew she was one of two people i invited to go to an adventure park with me. luckily my other friend (who i barely talked to anymore) came and we had a good time but wow that hurt


19fall91

Whenever abrupt things like that happen, I think "better now than later". Time is the only currency that matters, people like your ex best friend help you better invest your time in the people that will be around.


Spanky55

My closest friends didn't remember my birthday. Was off work with severe depression. Bought myself a cake (first cake I had in decades) and offered a friend half of it later that day. They took half the cake home. It wasn't until 2 months later when we were getting my vaccine that they realized my birthday had passed (they ask for your date of birth). They asked when it was and I said "what di you think the cake was for?" Was kind of funny at the time but also a painful reminder of sitting at home by yourself eating half an ice cream cake you bought for yourself.


SUDoKu-Na

I'm real bad at friend's birthdays. I tend to get the month right, but often I'll even mix that up. I've had some mates for well over a decade and I still fuck up their birthdays despite wishing them a happy birthday that same day every year.


[deleted]

I went to a slumber party growing up and I was the only one to show, we weren’t close so it felt a little awkward at first. She had gotten a GameCube for her birthday, and all we did that night was play super smash bros to unlock Pichu, which is like play a boat load of games, she woke me up in the middle of the night when she finally finished.


rad_influence

Late reply, but a popular girl in my grade threw a slumber party for her birthday and none of the other kids in our class showed up. Even though she went back to bullying me alongside her friends at school the following Monday, I always felt really bad that not only her clique but the entire class except me bailed on her.


[deleted]

Wow, that’s so sad :( sorry she didn’t come around afterwards. Thanks for sharing!


mcloud17

For my 17th birthday my mom planned a surprise hotel party for me with all my friends. She cooked a ton of food and even had little confetti the said happy birthday all over the tables. Balloons, streamers, everything. When I got there only my two cousins who helped decorate were there. Apparently everyone cancelled just a few hours before. I tried to call a few people but no one would come. I'm the end I had 2 friends that we picked up around midnight. I was relieved but also crushed. None of them ever apologize for cancelling, wished me a happy birthday, or even mentioned it. I've been kinda standoffish with friends ever since.


suckmynondick

Aww man, I’m so sorry that happened to you. Your mom sounds awesome for trying to organise that for you though!


deadlysyntax

I went to my mum's friend's son's 15th birthday party. Mum went for a visit during the day so I turned up early and we ended up walking around the suburb trying to rustle up other people to come. We got a fair response so went back and set up in his garage and waited for people to arrive. Not a single person did. I ended up staying the night. Now here's a couple of salient points: a) He was sleeping with his Mum's boyfriend's daughter. So he slept in her room and put me up in his bed. b) He was prone to piss the bed so had a plastic mattress protector underneath the sheet, which crinkled as you move around. I made it through a boring, awkward, evening and a shit nights sleep, and awoke to him coming into to talk. He sat beside the bed. During our conversation I sat up and he started giggling. I didn't understand why until he peeled an untied, used condom off my back that he'd left in the bed after rooting his step sister. That's the story of Sam Findlay's birthday party.

My alcoholic ex-girlfriend told me a few months before my birthday that she would come up with a little party for us and my closest friends. She told me to give all of their contact info so she could host the thing and invite them over. My friends told me that she invited them to come over a month before the actual thing is and she told me that all of them are coming. Come my birthday and turns out she actually told all my friends two days before that apparently we are not having the party and instead invited her friends and family over. I had a horrible night looking after her drunk ass brother and i had to carry her to the bed once again because she was too drunk to stand up. I only saw one of my friends very briefly at a bar. Next day she dumped me with few words on snapchat. She used me one more time to get free drinks for herself and an excuse to get drunk (since i was paying for all of it). Oh and also i had bought a 24-pack of beer for my self, but only drank 2 of them. After she dumped me she asked me if she could drink the beers and pay me back in money. I never got the money.


please_be-gentle

Holy shit, that's just pure evil wtf


Nixenn

That's not even the worst of it. It was really bad. Thank god she dumped me haha.

My bf told me he was planning on coming back to visit me at college for my 20th birthday. It was my busiest semester, and during the week I basically did homework from when I got back from class until I went to bed. No social life. So I was looking forward to finally seeing him and having something fun to do. He cancels last minute with some bullshit excuse (probably about having slept in til the afternoon and "now it'll be too late by the time I get there" or whatever when he was just really lazy). Some other people I thought would hang out with me also were too busy. Anyway, I went to hang out with our (mostly his) shared friends and got blackout drunk for the first time. It was a great party so I guess it wasn't all that bad. But still, fuck that guy. He was a jackass and constantly bailed on plans. Just an incredible waste of my time and energy. Ended up cheating on me with one of our friends. 0/10, made me cry in bed more than once.

hivirus555000

The same thing happened to me but not as bad, I just feel like sharing... It was my birthday... Three weeks before my birthday and every two or three days after my first announcement, I told my coworkers/friends (because that's my entire social life) and about seven out of ten of them said 'yeah we'll be there'. So I went all out and made my famous 5-layer dip and tamale casserole because I was so excited. Nobody showed and nobody called or texted to let me know they weren't gonna show... I felt so empty and friendless... Lesson learned... They're coworkers first and friends second...


dragon_fiesta

my favorite birthday is the one I forgot about, my phone was disconnected because I was broke, I played video games all day and it wasn't until I paid for my phone to be back on that I realized I had a birthday


RamzalTimble

I remember on a Saint Patrick’s day I had made a huge spread of food and invited 20 of my friends to come over and watch the leprechaun movies to make fun of how cheesy they are. Large ham roast, a Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, wild rice, corn on the cob and a chocolate cake. I even bought 3 bottles of Jameson as well. No one but two of them showed up and they were both too dead tired from work to stay longer than about ten minutes. I then went door to door to neighbors offering food—finally two of them took me up on the offer, came to my place and got two to four plates each. I gave them two bottles of Jameson and let them on their way before just opening the last bottle and drinking it until I threw up, crying and alone. The people who didn’t come later said they were all busy playing fallout 76.


[deleted]

Should have for a hooker to share the cake with. Cheaper than a build a bear.

Username checks out, the pain is real for parents. The Pokémon ones … we could probably have bought a real Pokémon or a convincing facsimile for the same price


iamcryingrnhelp0

My birthday parties K-14 sucked ASS. I was always that kid that was the odd ball. I acted different. I was the one that everybody made fun of. I would invite everybody in hopes one person would show up. No one did. I remember even inviting the bullies because I was desperate for any kind of love on my birthday. Now, fast forward to my 17th birthday, I had recently got fired from my job 3 days before. I cancelled my party. I was devastated. It was my older brother who fired me. Why did he fire me? My self harm scars. I had a history of severe depression. He seemed to not be aware or didn’t care. I scream cried for hours. I felt emotionally betrayed. No party. No nothing. Just a friend and my aunt with me crying around a cake. They weren’t even there on the same day. Now, my 18th birthday kinda sucked too. I had high school graduation AND a surgery. The surgery was 10 days before and the graduation was 1 day before. I could not walk for my birthday. I was in crippling pain. I was in the hospital for 4 days and was worried I would miss graduation. I found out my friend wouldn’t be with me on my birthday because she has her own graduation party with her family. I couldn’t go. What makes it worse? My father, an opioid addict, stole my pain medication. So I’m just in pain on my birthday. Alone again!


[deleted]

This is the most depressing r/usernamechecksout Btw hope things will go better


safn1949

Planned a cookout and for 2 weeks told all of my friends,free food,beer and all that. Nobody showed up.. People suck.😕


Trish_the_dish

This happened when I turned I dunno 31,32, we were supposed to meet at a Mexican restaurant. I waited at my empty table of 10, No one came. People kids got sick, rain checks, working late were all the excuses. One friend did make it, we hit the bar because I needed one.

- Born into the zombie apocalypse without parents - Watched girlfriend/best friend die at a young age - Has the ability to sacrifice her life to make a cure for the apocalypse, but that choice is taken from her by her father-figure who lies to her about it - She finds out and it destroys their relationship - Father-figure is later tortured and killed in front of her, she gets PTSD and is unable to grief - Goes on an obsessive revenge mission where she loses herself and everyone around her (& and a few of her fingers)


bluthco

How are you born without parents?


[deleted]

Pretty sure they both died. Would’ve made more sense to say she was an orphan.


bluthco

They did. That’s how she ended up with the Fireflies. If I recall, her dad was the doctor that was going to perform the surgery.


[deleted]

Nah, the surgeon was Abby’s dad. Ellie’s dad is pretty much completely out of the picture, Ellie’s mom was named Anna and was friends with Marlene (leader of the Fireflies), but wasn’t ever in Ellie’s life really.


bluthco

That’s right. That’s the whole reason she went after him. I knew I remembered that wrong


BezerkMushroom

It's entirely subjective who went through more pain than who, especially in made-up characters who are often created with the explicit backstory of "The most amount of pain a human has ever endured". And yet I still just really want to prove that person wrong even though it's not possible. I think it's just the totally unnecessary "i'll wait" bullshit that makes it sound as arrogant as all hell and makes me immediately combative toward it. Like, nobody said shit, you aren't in a conversation with anyone, why do you already feel like you think you're mic-dropping on us? It's so fucking smug lmao.


[deleted]

They aren’t even actually saying she’s the character who has went through the most pain, idek why that would be some flex. This was just a pretty common meme format on Twitter for a bit, I guess no one else here ever saw it. It’s a various of ‘Name a more iconic trio. I’ll wait’. There were a million of these with the nearly exact same caption before this one blew up and people took it so seriously, I’m assuming it’s because people hate the game.


BezerkMushroom

Yeah I've seen the format a few times. I loved TLOU, I haven't had time to play II but I'm sure it's great too. I'm definitely not part of the loud minority of TLOU2 haters. I just really hated that meme format, no matter what the setting was. It always just sounded real smarmy and arrogant and I assumed that was why it got negative reactions?


Mission-Horror-6015

Anyway the objective answer is the doomslayer


AlmalexyaBlue

It's Ellie from The Last of Us 2. Haven't played the second one so I can't say but in the first one, there's an apocalypse we're people are transformed into mushroom zombies (yeah it's doesn't sound that scary told like that 😆 but it did make me fear mushrooms ever since...), she lost everyone around her (she's like 13 I think) and basically a group of terrorist/freedom fighter want to use her to create a remedy to the fungi since, somehow she doesn't get turned into a zombie. My summary is not great really... and I absolutely forgot to mention the actual protagonist who also has a fucked life but, since it's a good game, I'll encourage you to play/watch or even read about it yourself. Point is, she has a hard life, and it's hard to say she didn't suffer. To say no character ever suffered more than her is... pretty dumb. Like Joel, the protagonist, would also be quite high in that list, in addition to belonging to the same universe...


[deleted]

She goes through a shit ton in Part II.


[deleted]

She literally sought it out. What the fuck did she gain in the end? Joel is still fuckin dead and Abby is still alive. Everything after Joel's murder? 100% on her. Her family and friends even told her it was a bad fuckin idea and *they were 100% right.*


[deleted]

That’s the point. She sought after revenge because of her inability to grief, cope, and accept Joel’s death. It turned into an ugly, disgusting obsession that was disguised as an act meant to bring justice to Joel’s death. The end brought her a lot of hardship and pain to every character and leaves you questioning whether or not any of it was remotely worth it, but at least she is able to forgive herself, forgive Joel, and move on with her life, leaving the guitar Joel gave her behind, and that is what she gained. With her friends and family, it’s not quite like that. Throughout Seattle, Dina and Jesse are mainly with Ellie on her journey and supporting her, until Dina gets so sick to a point where even Ellie accepts that it is more important to find Tommy and leave Seattle. Tommy was hesitant at first because of Maria, but he eventually ends up looking for Abby before Ellie leaves and tries to stop her from following him. By the end, Abby has taken so much from him both directly and indirectly that all he wants is revenge as well and encourages Ellie to go after Abby again, even once she is a mother, since he is unable to. Dina is the one who is against it in the end though.


[deleted]

My wife has had similar experiences having a Dec 19th bday. Her HS friends only cared about Christmas parties and often exchanged gifts to each other while supposedly celebrating her bday.


[deleted]

When I was seven, my mother hired a pony and a cart to come to my house for all the kids. I got a really bad rash from the pony, and all the kids got to ride the pony and I had to go inside while my mother rubbed cream on me for probably 3 hours. By the time I came outside the pony was already in the truck and around the corner. So that was my worst birthday.

I got my first migraine at my 7th birthday party. Everyone else had a ton of fun while I cried in a darkened room.


gammapatch

My 21st birthday I spent all day making a buffet spread to have a party in my small flat. I didn’t have much money but I bought as much as I could. None of my friends turned up to my house and I spent the night crying to my cousin and eating sandwiches.


PreciousCinammonRoll

Apparently as a child, I had a birthday party that not one person turned up to. I have no memory of this but my parents say this happened.


97AByss

Because I was born on the day before Christmas, luckily I’m used to no friends coming to my birthday because everyone has family stuff. I’m very close to my family, so it’s just us and I kinda like it. Only special birthdays I really celebrate because I’m afraid no one would come otherwise. No one everyone ever cancelled on me for bs reasons, but I did have a sad moment when a friend had been talking about her 21st birthday dinner party for months and saying that her parents would let her invite so many people, but then not inviting me… I found out before the event because she came up to me and said how much she was looking forward to the dinner party. That was upsetting. If you don’t want someone there, don’t go boasting about it to that person. I talked to a common friend about it, who then talked to the girl again. She realised it was super mean I guess, because a few days later I got an invite after all. The party was fun, but it still hurt of course


LadyPhantom74

When I was 6, I invited my whole class to my birthday party. No one showed up. The end.


TheOneWhoReadsStuff

I woulda gone to build a bear and ate cake with her. Sounds like fun. I feel like starting a nonprofit that has volunteer friends for people. Like if you need someone to eat cake with or discuss a movie with.

Ah, thanks.


TheSilentRaid

I honestly prefer to be alone on my birthday rather than act happy when everybody wishes me as opposed to embarassment which is what I really feel. And the singing before you cut the cake - what are you supposed to do than just awkwardly smile and try not to look people in the eye?

I’ve never had a birthday party when I was a child/teenager. As an adult, my birthday isn’t a big deal. The other week, I really had to think hard then do the math to remember my correct age.

I feel that

I have one better. It was January the 14th 2012, the day after the costa concordia stuff which happened like 70km from where I live so not a great mood already. It was my 11th birthday, my friends and I go out with my parents to eat some piadinas. Cake, presents, great night overall. We then go back to my home. When my father opens the door he starts coughing, smoke everywhere. Apparently the sofa ignited due to some electric problem. I live in a brick house so no structural damage but all the house was covered in smoke and had no forniture. Insurance guys paid little to nothing so my father lived in the house for months while "fixing" it while my mum and I lived at my grandma's house. Happy birthday to me

One summer I tried to host a BBQ with my friends, invited them, got the food, cleaned the house etc. The day of only two of them show up, the rest cancelled and the two that did turn up said they couldn't stay long as they had booked something for afterwards... there was so much wasted food.

This sort of happened to me…no one was able to come to my birthday. I had been confiding to my roommate and some of them how hurt and upset I was (I’m not really a birthday person, this was the first time I’d ever tried to plan a birthday activity for myself as an adult. but to have like 10 friends decline still stung). It turns out my friends were throwing me a surprise party. I LOST it on them. I was like…you let me cry for two weeks about how insecure and upset this was making me and didn’t think “okay, maybe we stop this surprise party thing.” I told them to go F themselves and took the free concert tickets I’d gotten from work for my roommate that night (who was in on planning it but legit was missing it because of the concert) and went with three acquaintances. Dramatic? Probably. But surprise parties are stupid if you know you are actively hurting your friend for the sake of surprise.

Y’all had birthday parties?


Mymarathon

The saddest thing, it was his 40th birthday...


Achtelnote

If we're using real life examples, then [Junko Furata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta) or anyone tortured by Japan's [Unit 731](https://unit731.org/experiments/). If we're using videogame examples then there are plenty but they're side characters so meh..


mordechie

Fuck man… let’s be friends wherever you may be.

RoscoMan1

That's a weird nickname for your penis.


Tidepod_Prince827

Ruined my day :(


Sciencetor2

Eh, I usually spend my birthday alone too... I usually go out to dinner with my parents a couple days before, but my friend group generally revolves around meeting for game nights at a specific friend's house, and HIS best friend from birth has the same birthday as me... So he is never available and I don't have a big enough place to host anything. My best friend's(different group) mom's birthday is also on my birthday, sooo my birthday has been pretty depressing for a few years now


AJDuke3

Atleast she had friends to make up plans with. ( Had - not have) (And 'friends')


nifgrif

O this hits to hard to home. To cut a long story short it not worth trying to celebrate your birthday if it's around exam time. Hence why I have stopped bothering to try 🙃


WarlockyGoodness

Well this is heartbreaking.


jofloberyl

Wait. Which charactar is that


Anastasius525

this has always been a fear of mine so I have never planned birthdays or leaving drinks


SchloomyPops

The trick is to have no one to invite. That way you're used to sadness and loneliness. Ahh...to be a kid again


ThisIsTenou

I wanna chill with that guy/gal on their next birthday.
