    I invited 20 people for my 40th birthday.
    3 showed up.
    My wife ate too much dough while she baked weed brownies and fell asleep right before the guests arrived.

    So me and my best friends sat around the table and ate a bag of chips, I was the only one to drink alcohol, no one touched the huge amount of food I made, and from upstairs we could hear my wife snoring.

      Did you share this story on lemmy before I swear I read it before. I just don’t have birthday parties for this reason… also I don’t even know 20 people to invite.

    Assaulted and held hostage for a week in my own apartment, causing me serious injuries and eventual homelessness.

    Not mine, but my trainee’s. He had planned a big party with friends for his 18th birthday on the day. It was the 9th of November September 11th, 2001.

    @Mayor Poppington Thanks for seeing this. Why are American dates in the wrong order?

        I’m guessing it was impacted by the September 11th attacks.

        Edit: thinking about it more, it could just be a European troll that forgot our dates are swapped around over here. They thought 9/11 was the 9th of November.

          Why does the troll have to be european? Most of the world uses DD/MM/YYYY, or some variation of that order.
