Today, I was bored out of my mind at work. I told my coworker he was lucky to be leaving early. I forgot the reason of his early departure was to go to his grandfather's funeral. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral. As he was on his way out, I wanted to say something. All I could think of was, "Have fun!" FML
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML
Today, I called off work saying my Great Grandmother died. A co-worker texted me later asking where and when the funeral was. I made up a lie and said some random funeral home and date. My co-workers sent flowers to the funeral home for condolences. The flowers were returned. FML
Today, an elderly man came into my place of work wearing a nice suit. I commented, saying said he looked nice and asked what the special occasion was. He was going to a funeral. FML
Today, I ran into my boss when I was at the beach. He told me he was sorry for my loss. I asked him, "What loss?" Then I remembered I’d lied about taking time off under the pretense of bereavement of my grandmother passing away. FML
Today, I was at work, reading some funny stories on my phone. Just as one of my co-workers decided to share that his father had passed away recently, I burst into uncontrollable, teary-eyed laughter at a story. They don't believe my explanation, and have branded me the office asshole. FML
Today, I had to cover for a coworker who didn't turn up for work. He's always late for work and I was pissed off about having to cover for him again, so I said to my colleagues, "He better be either in hospital or dead." Turns out he was dead. FML
Today, my English teacher asked me why I didn't have my project completed. Thinking quick on my feet, I told her it was because my grandmother had just passed away. Apparently they go to the same country club and have known each other for years. My teacher started crying and ran out of the room. FML
Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML
Today, I was talking to this really nice guy who likes me, and he tells me he's packing. I asked him where he was going, he said Puerto Rico. And I said "LUCKY!" He replied "it's for the funeral". I forgot his grandma had died. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Mercy, that could work for this FML. Maybe OP could cheer up his co-worker, by convincing him his grandfather isn't really gone. He's among the living dead! This could work. Good job on the interpretation. :]

What's so bad about going to funerals? There are a lot of crying women there who need hugs. That's more action than some guys get in a year. Also, if Grandpa was a prick, that guy was pretty relieved to see the old bastard go.

So what? He's still lucky to get out of work, regardless of the reason. They're separate entities -- someone can be fortunate to leave a boring job early, without negating their being unfortunate to have a dead relative. If a girl is model-skinny because of a disease, it doesn't mean other girls don't have the right to be jealous. Feel what you want and say it, and if they get upset at you, it's their problem, not yours.

What you've described here is almost the textbook definition of narcissism. The two situations are in no way separate entities, since they left work early to go to a funeral. The two are very obviously related. If there was no funeral, he would not have gotten off work early.

But there's no problem with envying one part of the situation and not the other. If one part of the situation is enviable, then there's every right to envy it; you don't HAVE to feel the same way about every part of it. It's not a uniform concept, as evidenced by the very fact that there is a good side and a bad side. And really, it's not as if anyone can help it anyway. If you're jealous, you're jealous, no matter how irrational. It is what it is. (In fact, the only reason I said anything at all -- it being such a moot point -- was because I like speaking my mind when nobody else has said the same thing already. I may be an idiot, but not enough of one to believe I can convince people of something they don't believe. So if you're hoping to piss me off, you're sadly ineffectual. If not, carry on.)

You don't get to complain about this. **** your coworkers life for having to put up with an asshole like you on a day that's already stressful enough.
