Today, I was sick with the flu so my boyfriend announced that he would make me some chicken soup. It was touching until I stumbled to the kitchen and found out that his "chicken soup" was actually leftover KFC bones boiled in water. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was sick and laid up in bed, and my boyfriend decided to bring me some soup. Just as he reached the bed, he tripped over his own feet and spilled the soup all over me. FML
Today, I made chicken noodle soup for the girl I've been seeing to help her get over her cold. From scratch. Everything fresh save for the canned chicken stock. It took an hour in preparation and half an hour to take the bus to her place. Her first words? The celery's not cooked enough. FML
Today, I lovingly simmered a chicken carcass, vegetables and spices to make soup. Two hours it took. After all that, I mindlessly strained out the chicken bones and let the soup pour straight down the sink. FML
Today, I was in bed sick from pneumonia. I asked my boyfriend to nuke a can of soup for me. He said "in a sec, let me finish this game" and continued to play on his Xbox for an hour. Starving, I crawled out to make soup. When I sat down to eat, he paused the game and asked "you didn't make me any?" FML
Today, I had a horrible stomach flu and was well into my second hour of dry heaving when I heard my husband knock on the bathroom door. I was touched that he was worried about me, until I heard, "Honey, what did you make for dinner?" FML
Today, my boyfriend made me breakfast because I had a cold. Because my nose was so stuffed, I couldn't tell that our milk had gone bad. I had two cups. And now I'm stuck on the toilet. FML
Today, I was miserable with a cold. So I ordered soup and noodles from a new Chinese restaurant. Now I am miserable with a cold and food poisoning. FML
Today, my boyfriend scolded me for asking whether he’d like his favorite soup for lunch when he was, "in absolutely no shape to survive ingesting food." Two hours later he's greedily digging into an almost expired pack of cheap and nasty supermarket waffles from out of his bag. FML
Today, I asked the girl I’m seeing to make me some chicken soup because I was sick. She replied, “If you’re sick, go to the doctor. I’m not doing wifey shit if you’re not gonna make me a wife, let alone a girlfriend.” FML
Today, I was "that idiot" who spent ages making a soup stock from meat and vegetables, but then while separating it forgot to put a pan under the strainer, so I poured the finished stock down the sink, leaving me with only the boiled meat and veg sat sadly in the strainer. Takeaway chinese for tea, then. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh, yeah. FYL because you have a boyfriend that actually cares. Stop being a whiny bitch and appreciate that he's at least trying to help you feel better.

Seeing as there's quite a few people here saying that that is how you make broth, I'm compelled to listen. Don't be so hard on the chick though, I had no idea and I thought the same thing she surely thought when she first found out. She'll come around.

nothing wrong with using bones that have been fried before - just means there's less taste or 'goodness' left in the bones, which you can always compensate for by using more bones.... I always use the bones left from roast chicken and it's never been a problem

Lyke, totallyyyy, rite? No, seriously. Quit whining about how you and your friends don't have your FML's posted. I can give you a good reason why: Noone gives a crap. Go learn to spell, you come off as an idiotic 14 year old.

ok Luckster OP doesnt say there was no meat left on the bones so stop shouting how the bones are supposed to have meat on them, they probably did. also yea kinda how u make a broth. oh and how it chosing to make a broth from scratch with kfc bones lazy?! the lazy option would b do nothin or just give hee some out of a can. and people if its boiled, the germs are evaporated. i think theres only 1 other smart person who realised that. honestly...

Sorry for a question posed out of cultural difference: What are the wonders chicken soup is supposed to do when ill? Except for hydrate and keep warm? But so does a tea. I'd guess the OP should have rather drunk a vit C rich fruit smoothie? :-? OT: Yes, broth is made out of bones. But seriously, *fast-food* leftovers? Those things smell awful, hopefully OP's nose is stuffed. Caring bf, yes, good idea, no.

Broth is easier on a sore throat (or queasy stomach) than smoothies or thicker drinks. Also... http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2007/jan/10/chicken_soup_common_cold/ It explains the potential anti-inflammatory effects of chicken soup.
