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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

This has to be one of the most ambiguous FMLs. Reading the comments, I can see at least 3 possible scenarios. #1. OP is having coffee with a friend she hasn't seen in a long time. She asks about the husband and is told he "died". OP had forgotten she had attended the funeral (which was either before or during University, or OP forgot she saw her friend more recently at the funeral). OP gets slapped for forgetting. - Neutral #2 OP is having coffee with a friend she hasn't seen in a long time. She asks about the husband and is told he "died". The friend mistakenly believe OP was at the funeral, but they haven't seen each other since University (and the friend's husband died after that). OP gets slapped because her friend is confused. - FYL #3 (One I hadn't considered until reading the comments) OP hasn't seen her friend since University. Her friend's funeral is TODAY. They are having coffee either right after the funeral or during it. OP (clearly not with the program) asks about the husband. Friend says he "died". OP says "she reminded me I was at the funeral" (as in the OP forgot she was currently at the funeral or just came from it)(this would be in past tense because the OP was not posting at the time of the funeral) Friend slaps OP for being an insensitive stupid bitch. - YDI Please update OP!

Slapping is considered Battery ( physical assault) by the Law. You can have her charged/ put in jail. She should have thought before she acted. :) I would have her slammed behind bars.

OP asked after a man whose funeral she had attended. I think she's the one who needs to think before she acts.
