Today, my sister called after she found out I was hospitalized with surgery complications. Worried about me? Wondering if I'm okay? Nope. Just mad that I texted her an update rather than calling. I didn't call because I had surgery on my throat and can't speak. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my sister texted me, saying she was about to go into surgery. It's been a long time coming, and we've both been worried about what could happen. I texted "good luck" back. My phone autocorrected it to "goodbye" and I didn't even notice. FML
Today, I was texting my mom about a surprise visit, and autocorrect changed "surprise" to "surgery." I hit send before noticing, and now she thinks I’m planning some major medical procedure, and has been calling me nonstop to check if I’m OK. FML
Today, I was recovering from an operation. After I felt better, I checked my phone. There were 35 missed calls and angry text messages from my boyfriend asking why I wasn't at his house to cook his dinner. FML
Today, my mom got angry that I wasn't responding to her texts. I couldn't because I was in the dentist's chair. She'd dropped me off, and after returning from errands, sent the text from the waiting room. FML
Today, I texted my sister to ask her if she was OK after finding out that one of her oldest friends had died. She didn’t know. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Today, I collided heads at a soccer game and needed 13 stitches in my head. I texted all my contacts to let them know I was in the hospital. I got back one response that said "bitch got what you deserve" it was from my cousin. No one else ever texted me back. FML
Today, after having surgery, I called my family to tell them I was out, safe, and on my way home. The first thing they asked was if they could "borrow" some of my pain meds. FML
Today, my mom wrote me an email, asking how I was doing after an accident yesterday. I wrote back at length, telling her everything in detail. Two hours later, she calls me on the phone, asking how I am. She was simply too lazy to check her mail and expected me to tell her everything a second time. FML
Today, on my long-awaited vacation, I got a phone call from my sister. Her childhood friend died. She bawled on the phone, and my plans were ruined. My husband said it was selfish of her to do such a thing when she knew we were on vacation, so she ramped up the drama times ten. She and her friend used to bully me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wait, what? She couldn't talk so she didn't call her. Why you shaming her for?

Maybe she was so worried about you that she stopped thinking logically :)

Why didn't you learn sign language that morning and video call her??? YDI, clearly. /sarcasm

Did she know you had throat surgery?

now I know that assumptions are the mother of all **** ups, but given that OP was hospitalised due to previous complications, one would assume that their entire family would know the reason of the original medical condition

I can't be the only one who read that in Flanders's voice.

Your sister is dumb if she's mad at you for a simple thing.

Are you sure that wasn't just her way of reacting to the worry? Some people act very oddly in stressful situations. I hope she calms down and sees sense soon.

I never understood people who bitched about somebody texting them "instead of" calling... At least you were updating her... If she wanted to speak to you that badly, she could've come visit you ! (and that way she would have witnessed the fact that you really couldn't talk)

Sounds like my sister.
