Today, I was at a friend's birthday party when I got a call from my mom telling me to come home because my dog died. When I told my friend that I had to leave because of the loss, she replied with, "Okay, but you brought my gift inside, right?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I can’t make it to my friend’s birthday party because my dog died this morning. I called my friend to inform her and she screamed at me because a "dumb animal" is more important than her best friend. Oh, and she asked me if that also means she won’t be getting a present. FML
Today, I woke up to a note from my parents saying we needed to talk. Assuming it was about the weed I'd left on my dresser, I quickly confessed. Turns out my dog died. FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML
Today, I returned home from college for the first time in a month. I went to my bedroom and found a nice gift bag on my dresser. Thinking it was a Valentine's gift, I opened it. My dog's ashes were in a tin inside. This is how I found out my dog died since I was away. FML
Today, after leaving my mom's house, I got 4 text messages from her about how I was a terrible person for not saying goodbye to my sister when I left. The "sister" she was referring to is the family dog. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my friends and my sister, we were all wasted and I was making jokes. My sister then gets a phone call, I leave the room to get a drink and I hear everyone go a bit silent I come back in and all of the sudden everyone looks at me. My friend says, "Um… I'm so sorry, your mom passed." FML
Today, I went to console my cousin because I'd heard that her dog had passed away. As I opened the door, the first thing I saw was her extremely old and feeble (but still very much alive) dog. Turns out my friend was talking about HIS cousin, and I simply misheard. Trying to explain that to her was mighty awkward. FML
Today, I received an angry phone call from a friend whose birthday party I missed last night. Yesterday, I gave birth to my son. She claims that I ruined her party and demands I still bring her a birthday gift. FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML
Today, my mother and grandmother informed me that my sixteen-year-old dog died. I was standing in Wal-Mart at the time. They then yelled at me because crying in public is "inappropriate." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Even if she didn't, she clearly seems more concerned about the gift than OP's presence to the party. That doesn't speak highly of her.

I think by the time it took to post this FML she would have been able to confirm with her friend "huh, did you hear what I just said mate"

Priorities you have to have you’re priorities right. Sounds like a person that needs to be on the bottom of friend’s list.

I agree, you don't need to be around people like that. I'd have taken her gift back and got a refund (if it were a gift card, you can bet your ass I'd use it on myself)

Auwtch xD however close friends can get away with that as a sarcastic comment

I don't think they meant it as sarcastic, and if I had a close friend, I sure as hell wouldn't want them to make an insensitive joke at such a loss

I do not agree. My pets are my babies, and I would be really upset from a comment like that.. Especially from my close friends!

If a friend said something that insensitive to me, no matter how close they were to me, I'd throat punch them. No questions asked. Friends are suppose to be caring and supportive.

Nope. Anyone who says something like that in that situation is a douche. Not the time to be sarcastic.

What an insensitive and coldhearted monster! I'm sorry for your loss OP! :(

Don't worry about it OP. Just shrug it off, save your energy for your family at this sad time :(
cheeeksss 29
Yup. I would've pretended not to hear the remark and just head home. I wouldn't give a shit about their gift.

'Don't you mean ex-friend' comments coming soon.

Console yourself slightly by keeping the gift, at least. So so sorry for your loss, don't waste your emotional energy thinking about that friend.

If I were you, I would've given, taking the gift home with me, a thought. Pets are family, some people just don't understand.

It's a dog, get over it.

Ew, you're one of those people.

Fyl Op, should have said no and then maybe give her a gift when she isn't being so insensitive. That is if you still want to be friends with her.
