Today, I ran into an old friend from college on the bus to work. Having not seen each other in over 10 years, we spent a good 15 minutes talking about our lives after college. At the end, he asked me what my name was. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend for whom I used to have feelings. I hadn't seen her in years, so I thought it would be funny if I went up to her and said, "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you?" She thought I had really forgotten her and burst into tears. FML

Today, I was at the store when I ran into an old friend from high school. He didn't recognize me at first, but when I told him who I was, he instantly shouted "Oh! Yeah! The fat chick from Mr. H's class!" FML

Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML

Today, I went to the store and ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years. We chatted a little, and just as I was leaving he grabbed his mobile phone. Later, I added him on Facebook. Turns out the last thing he posted was a picture of my back saying: "Look who got even fatter." FML

Today, I finally reunited with a lot of old friends from school. It was great to see everyone grown up and hear the stories. At the end we decided to have a group photo for old times sake. They asked me to take the picture. FML

Today, someone I used to know got in touch with me, after I hadn't heard from him in years. He insisted that we met up as soon as possible, and wanted me to go to his house that afternoon. I spent the afternoon repairing his computer. Since then, no news. FML

Today, I ran into an old friend, and she asked me how I was doing. I replied, "Still alive!" like I always do. I forgot both of her parents recently passed away. FML

No big deal. Not everyone is good with names and it's been ten years.

#5 Is exactly right. I don't know what it is lately but I'm having trouble understanding why so many crappy FML's are being posted. Some things you have to wonder why or how the post is an FML. Out of the hundreds of FML's I've read this is definitely one of the crappy ones.

the conversation should have started like " hi my name is _______. idk if you remember me but we went to school together.". (2nd person choice 1) "oh yeah I remember you..." (2nd person choice 2) " oh yeah you're that guy who________" [insert embarrassing school memory] followed by awkward laughter (2nd person choice 3) " sorry I don't remember you, who are you again..." starting a sentence like so should avoid that awkward moment where op's friend forgets op's name.
