“My girlfriend was so excited for her first Friendsgiving,” a text overlay on the video reads. “But no one showed up. She decorated the basement and cooked so much food. I keep trying to cheer her up but nothing is working.”

Commenters responded emphatically: If her previous friends were going to treat her like this, she needed new ones. Many volunteered.

In the follow-up video shared by her boyfriend, @kidalloy, said that his girlfriend and her friends had put two weeks of planning into the meal.

“Everything was all set, they set the date, the time and everything that they were going to come,” he said. “When the day came, no one was answering the group chat, no one was texting, no one was calling.”

He said that in her mind, people were just running late. But when the three hour mark passed, and it was clear no one was going to come, he invited his friends.

“It was a good night,” @maryannzizumbo said of the evening.
