Sorry for your loss

By dpod121 - 04/03/2010 19:41 - United States

Today, I got a call from my optometrist. I ignored the call, because I already knew I had my appointment tomorrow. When I listened to my messages later, I found out it was from his secretary, saying all of his appointments have been canceled due to him passing away last night. FML

i had to read this a couple times to try and figure out what the FML is and I still don't know

#30, the post isn't unclear. What is unclear is how this is an FML for the OP. What difference would answering the phone have made? Same outcome either way. Is OP seriously complaining because a doctor she sees once a year inconvenienced her? FHfamily'sL, not hers.

Don't you just hate when they cancel on you? I mean WTF!

OP deserves it for thinking THEIR life is effed because they can't make any more appointments with the doctor/all other ones were cancelled. Think about the man's family for once, ass hat?

#27 has a good point. How is this an FML for you?

no 27, it's an FML because the OP feels like a douche for not answering that call.

the fact that you posted this on fml for ur own life is pathetic and selfsh

This isn't so much an FYL as it is an FHLL ( F*** His Late Life ) Kind of depressing post OP...

Holy shit I live in MA and my eye doctor just died. :( Let me guess, Middlesex county, His last name started with a B?

Or maybe the OP just thought it sucked that their eye-doctor died, not because they have to switch doctors.

what an ass.... he could at least complete the appointments he made before he died.

oh relax! it's an fml coz the op feels like a turd for not checking his voice MSG and obviously feels bad because the optomitrist had died.

Tell them you require 24 hour notice for cancellations, otherwise you're billing them $89.

she unknowingly blocked a call that her doctor died

for real. how is this an fml unless you were emotionally attached to your doctor? yeah it's sad that he passed and I'm in no way trying to sound like a coldhearted bitch, but can't you just find another doctor?

@ purplemnm For someone who called another a retard you sure aren't very smart yourself. Learn to spell and use grammatically correct sentences. I'm not a grammar freak but your post was just plain annoying.

Exactly, how is this an FML? Answering the call would not have made any difference. If anything, it saved the awkward "Umm... that sucks, sorry for your loss" conversation. I could see it as an FML if they DIDN'T check their messages and still showed up for the appointment. F the family's life, F the life of the poor receptionist who had to make those calls while grieving. But in no way is this an FML for a patient who was inconvenienced and feels bad about someone dying that they hardly know.

i agree. it might have been a legit FML if the OP showed up to the appointment.

no she's 'seriously' NOT complaining, jeez haven't u read the other comments?! the op feels bad and this is clear enough in the post!

omfg.....like so many pol are passing away today but anyways u shouldve answered ur orthadonist call

Your grammar is terrible, honest!

That's sad and all, but how is that an FML?

I think you kind of deserve it. Because you ignored the call. But thats more of a bad thing for his family than it is for you.

Plus, OP obviously feels like an asshole for ignoring the call, otherwise I don't think he would have posted this.. But again. I never said he was an asshole..

Well then I didn't mean to imply it. Because I don't think he is one.

I agree... more like ftol.. (f the optomotrists life)
