This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff
United States
So close, but yet so far
Today, I had to explain to a woman I didn't know that my husband was killed overseas. She replied, "I know exactly how you feel, my dog died last month." FML

Some people just don't know what they're saying.

no one knows the situation. what if they were only married before he departed.. so maybe a year or two. what-if the other lady had her dog for years n that was all she had. no husband no kids. some people confide in their pet like a best friend. jeez. people shud b more understanding instead of only thinking of themselves. sorry for both losses

Let's see: someone called for her husband, she needed a death certificate to clear debts or amend taxes, they applied for a loan and she called to amend the marriage status and salary information...if any of you were adults you would know there are LOTS of reasons that someone might have to tell a stranger that they just lost their spouse. Of course, you're all ridiculous children who don't actually know how life works. If you are actually the future, I am shooting myself before any of you idiots are in charge of anything.

I dont know why on sad fml's there are jackasses like you calling people who show sympathy "rediculous children" while insulting the op. Heartless ass

who do you think you are? Of course there is lots of reasons but why would OP say "had to tell a virtual stranger" if it wasnt some random. She would have said "the insurance woman" or "the undertaker" or hell even "the checkout girl" Was it really so far fetched to say that some kind stranger saw her crying and asked her what was up. Get off your high horse and chill out a little.

She's not really a 'bitch' for saying it, it just doesn't compare whatsoever, I guess she really didn't know what to say but wanted to emphasize with you but that went horribly wrong. I'm sorry about your husband :(
