Today, I had to drive my girlfriend to the hospital because she had a severe allergic reaction to the flowers I brought her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, I surprised my girlfriend with origami roses, as I am highly allergic to real ones. Her response? To scream at me and slam the door in my face. FML
Today, I finally got the courage to ask my boss why the flowers I got her for her birthday the other day were in the conference room and not her office. She told me she was allergic to them and she had such a bad reaction that it made her go home early. I made my boss sick on her birthday. FML
Today, my girlfriend found an enormous rose arrangement in the back seat of my car. The flowers were from my fire chief to his wife. I forgot to deliver them. I now have to replace them since my girlfriend thinks I got them for her. The arrangement cost $225. FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML
Today, I drove 45 min from my college to surprise my girlfriend with roses after she got off work. She responded by taking the roses, dumping them in her back seat, and speeding off because she couldn't miss Survivor. FML
Today, my fiancé heard I was having a rotten day at work. He stopped by the flower shop and bought me a lovely rose which I put right next to my work station. That is until a giant wasp flew out and stung me. I still have a swollen arm hours later. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a festival. The very first thing we saw when we got there was a guy being wheeled away by paramedics. She freaked out and demanded we leave. FML
Today, I forgot my boyfriend was allergic to nuts and ate Nutella toast before he arrived. He had just brought me flowers for doing well in an exam and I kissed him. He had a reaction and I had to stab him in the leg. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital for an allergic reaction. Turns out, I'm highly allergic to cherry blossoms. My wife and I just bought a house and moved into a new neighborhood. Almost every block in this neighborhood, including my own, has rows and rows of cherry blossom trees. FML

I'm sure it was an orchid situation, but at least you rose to the occasion and didn't stay mum or lily-livered when you bought them. The good news is that she'll definitely forget-you-not. In a few daisies, thistle blow over, she will kiss your tulips, and all will be forgiven.

That's bittersweet. Did she at least enjoy them before she began having a reaction?

44: I doubt it. A dose of epinephrine and fluids then I'm sure they discharged her. Plus, there's a mobile FML app even if she was still at the hospital. ;) ... Docbastard, you're in a trauma/ER dept, what would you do?

71: I don't know what a "cataract of the hospital" is, but your comment's quite twisted.

But find out if she's allergic to the chocolate, or nuts or anything that could possibly be inside the chocolate...

Oh my Sounds like someone doesn't know their girlfriend very well!

You never know... Maybe the girlfriend herself didn't know she was allergic to those specific flowers.

Through hospital visits and all, let's hope she was grateful. Now you know about the allergy, so never again.

It's the thought that counts... And we all know you didn't do it on purpose! ... Right?
