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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at a party and saw an old friend from college. I went up to her asking how she was and how her family was. She went on to tell me that her husband left her a month ago and started crying. I told her that he was an ass anyway and that she didn't need him. Turns out he died. FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML
Today, I ran into an old friend. I asked her how she was doing, then asked, "And your mum?" Just as the words escaped my lips, I remembered her mum died a few years ago. Trying to save face, I messed up again and blurted, "She still in the same graveyard?" FML
Today, a girl I've had a huge crush on for a long time told another friend of ours to get a life. I, in my infinite genius responded that her mom needed to get a life. She ran out of the room bawling. I got slapped in the face and informed that her mom had died not long ago. FML
Today, at work, I asked a lady how she was doing. When she replied, I didn't understand her, and instead of asking her what she'd said, I just replied with, "Oh, that's good." What she'd said that I didn't understand was that her husband had just died. 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 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
Today, my (now ex) best friend wore funeral attire to my wedding, and instead of a speech, she gave a eulogy, making it sound like my new husband had brutally murdered me. FML
Today, a friend was moving away, and they told me go grab their credit card. I did, and she bought me Dunkin' Donuts, then I tripped and dumped both our drinks. Into her face. I tried to say "Fuck!" and "I didn't mean to do that to you!" but ended up yelling "FUCK YOU!" in the middle of a parking lot. I never saw her again. FML
Today, I ran into an old friend of mine at the store. All was going fine, until she showed me her new fiancé. My now ex-boyfriend. FML

Wow. Now that's the kind of stupid that's so incredibly, mind-bogglingly stupid that it's actually impressive.

And your memory is absolutely perfect, right? You've never once forgotten something important?

Am I the only one that thinks the OP is not the one with the bad memory? Maybe she hadn't seen her friend since university, and her friend just mis-remembered her being at the funeral? Or, maybe her friend confused her with someone else?

That's what I thought too, this one needs a follow up :)

I read it that the OP just forgot the funeral because they said the friend reminded them about it.

I am torn because of my confusion....hoping to see a follow up. If you really hadn't seen her since University and she's mistaken...then FYL. If she is right and you had actually forgotten attending the funeral....which is mind boggling to me...then YDI and owe her a huge apology.

its not an assumption ... its implied by the fact that OP hasn't seen her friend since university. Who knows how long that's been?

Ok, this definitely needs a follow up. I'm torn between YDI if you truly did forget her husband died especially after having gone to the funeral and FYL if she's mistaken and you didn't know.
