Today, I was working as a nurse, and an elderly man had just passed away. As the patient's wife was leaving she said, "Thank you for taking such good care of my husband." Then I, intending to say "Sorry for your loss," said "Thank you for your loss." FML

Today, I went to the funeral of my friend's brother. It was the first funeral I'd gone to, and I was really nervous. When the service finished, everyone went to pay their respects to the family. After I paid mine, they said, "Thank you for coming." I instictively replied, "My pleasure." FML

Today, I attended the funeral of a close friend. Most of the other guests were openly grinning and joking around, and the guy in front of me kept muttering "that's what she said" during the eulogy. FML

Today, I serve at church and had a funeral. As I greeted the family, someone asked how I was doing. Without thought, I responded, "Good to be alive." FML

Today, I was having coffee with an old friend I hadn't seen since university. I asked about her husband; she replied, "He died" and walked off. I was confused, so I stood up and took off after her. She then reminded me that I was at his funeral, and then slapped me in the face. FML

Today, I attended the wrong funeral. I spent twenty minutes trying to hide and walk away without being too conspicuous. FML

Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, I was at my grandma's funeral. While giving the eulogy, I accidentally mixed up "You will be missed" and "You won't be forgotten" and instead said "You won't be missed." FML

Geez people. The guy only made a mistake. OP, this is neither a YDI or FML . It's more of an awkward moment. I am sure the woman isn't mad at you.

Don't worry OP, I'm sure she didn't think anything of it. That's a really common thing for people to say.

Op simply says "an elderly mans funeral". So I can understand the joke 4 made. It sounds like he is a funeral crasher. Without the specification of great uncle, neighbor, grandparents friends ect. It seems they were just strolling along and decided to go to the funeral.

Things like "No, thank you" are usually instinctive

CallMeMcFeelii 13

So you would instinctively say, "No, thank you ." If asked if you want wanted to go eat some dog shit? No. You should always think about what you're saying, and this story is a prime example.
