Depressing

Today, while at work, I was told by a man who had literally just gotten back from his mother's funeral to cheer up, as I was depressing him. FML

Just imagine how depressing YOU must have looked to make that man feel he was happy in comparison.

Maybe I'm depressed because I haven't ever seen an FML that I have laughed at : (

First sentence of #14 has it right--I call fake. That is a really old line. "She/he is so boring they could depress someone who just..." Life is full of screwed moments; lets have a few real ones (like idiots that invest in Iraqi Dinars).

Depression sucks but oh well. op, you will survive even if someone tells you to cheer up.... I have a lot of people tell me to be happy everyday..... I'm still alive ad happy enough.

Well, he did just lose his mother. A bit of crankiness or depression is to be expected. Of course, this ain't your FML either. It's his.

How does one figuratively get back from their mother's funeral? I was in a good mood, but the misuse of the word "literally" instantly plunges me into a deep, blue funk and a white rage. The net result is baby-blue ennui.

Well as opposed to maybe he got back the day before or last week or something. If someone expirenced something as traumatic as their mother's death a day or week ago it would make sense to say it just happened. The "literally" here implies that he just got back from the funeral that day.

I agree with #35, I thought the OP meant "literally" as in he had JUST gotten back from his moms funeral.

Today, I lost my job due to anonymous customer complaints. Turns out it was my toxic mother-in-law. She made those complaints because she thinks if I’m unemployed, it will be easier to convince my husband to divorce me. Luckily he knows she’s toxic and is on my side, but I’m still unemployed. FML

Today, I met my Canadian friend at the airport. As we were heading into the city, I told him not to worry about all the US stereotypes and that gun crime in my city is rare. A few hours later, we witnessed a guy get shot in the street in broad daylight. Now he's too scared to leave the house. FML
