Death and Awkward: Foot in mouth syndrome - FML

Foot in mouth syndrome

By Username - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my friend told me that her favourite aunt died last night of a heart attack. The first thing I could think of to say was, "Oh no, is she okay?" FML

It's unfair to judge OP and call him/her stupid because of what they said.There are a lot of people (me included) that trip up when hearing about a situation as unfortunate as OP's friend. Sometimes it makes people nervous and unsure on how to respond appropriately. So OP doesn't derserve that and I'm sure that their friend understood what he/she was trying to say. A lot of you who comment are so mean.

there's something I don't understand with FML, people often put more "you deserved it" than "your life sucks" when their life really sucks. In the french version (VDM) people really are more tolerant. In this case he/she obviously didn't do it on purpose. In this situation you would have thought your life sucks so why don't you be a bit more understanding.

I understand having slips of the tongue and mixing up your thoughts, but this is just stupid.

It shows that you're the kind of user who doesn't read / comprehend statements properly. Not only is gender not mentioned, the FMLposter specifically stated "my friend".

Today, my house was broken into. The burglar didn't steal my brand new laptop, iPad or TV. They instead made off with every single item of clothing I own. When I went to turn on my TV to try and distract myself from this, I found all of the cables in back missing. The police don't believe me. FML

Today, me and my boyfriend were fooling around on my bed when things started to get heated. I said to him, "Do what ever you want". He got up and said he'd be right back. I thought he went to get a condom. He came back with a sandwich. FML

Today, I was supposed to be going on my first date with a guy I really liked. He never showed up. I just found out my dad was outside washing the car when my date showed up. He told him he didn't have a daughter and to never show up on his driveway again. FML

Today, I put up lost dog signs and even posted a Facebook post regarding my lost dog. I keep getting “Restricted” calls taunting me, saying they found my dog and are not giving her back. I’m unable to trace the calls and this is making me more upset and frustrated. FML

Today, my parents switched phone companies, which changed the phone number. Two days ago, I dropped off over 15 job applications with my 'old' number on all of them. There is a waiting period before I can reapply anywhere. FML

Today, my birthday is in two weeks. I began looking up significant events that occurred on my birthday just to feel as though it actually matters to someone. Few of my friends remember it, and the ones that do have trouble trying to squeeze it into their schedules without screwing up their Christmas plans. FML

Today, I worked up the courage to confess my feelings to this girl I'm crazy about. I even wrote and recorded a song for her. Instead of listening to it, she gave it to her ex-boyfriend, who responded to my heartfelt words by headbutting me. FML

Today, I was excited to see my ex-girlfriend. We had broken up while I was in Iraq and I wanted to try to get her back. I spent my first day back looking for a place to live while her and her new boyfriend got it on as I slept. I had chosen that apartment for us and paid for that bed. FML
