Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, I texted everyone in my phone to remind them mother's day is tomorrow. Everyone including the boy whose mom died last year. FML
Today, my friend's dad had a heart attack. Without realizing what I was saying, I texted her, "If you need anything, you know I'll be there in a heartbeat." FML
Today, I texted my sister to ask her if she was OK after finding out that one of her oldest friends had died. She didn’t know. FML
Today, I got a text message. It said, "I'm so drunk. What you up to, girl?" It was my dad. FML
Today, I was going to record a song I wrote for my dad, who I haven't spoke to in a couple of years. After getting things together, I called my mom to let her know I'd be doing this. She informed me he died. A year ago. FML
Today, I texted my friend and asked her what her sad status on Facebook was about. She texted me back, saying her step-mother had passed away. I tried to reply with "awwh" but my phone autocorrected it to "ahaha." FML
Today, I received a text from my dad, which was borderline-incomprehensible due to an insane amount of text language. I replied, jokingly asked if he had a stroke while writing it. A few seconds after hitting send, I remembered the stroke he suffered last month. FML
Today, my mom wished her best friend a Happy Birthday on Facebook. Her best friend died this year. Oh, did I mention that it’s also my birthday? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How is she a terrible friend? It's like a person saying, "Today's my dad's birthday, but he's dead." Why bring up the subject?

I always press send... and then when I realize something was wrong, I cancel just in time... Things slip our minds sometimes, can't blame yourself for it all.

That's what the end button is for. You press it and the message cancels itself while it's sending. Or did out already know that and do it but just lie on here to make this an fml . And btw your life is not effed. So you messed up .. Apologize and your fine!

If I try to hit 'end' while it's sending, it just brings me to the main menu, but the message still continues to send.

Yeah same. It will still send for me which isn't really helpful at all. And Heytheregorgeous, how would you like to receive that text if your dad was dead. Dick move.

To everyone that said to press end, the person could have an iPhone, which would mean there's no end button / no way to cancel a message after hitting send. (I have An iPhone , and I always send messages that I didn't mean to send.) To the FML poster: ouch, sorry. I could totally see myself doing something like this, so I really feel bad for you. Hopefully your friend won't be too offended, although it's kinda a YDI if the father died recently (you shouldve been more sensitve if that was the case) otherwise, I agree , FYL. Also, for those who said she's a bad friend... There's a such thing as making a mistake. We're only human... We can't be perfect all the time.

That sucks but it's not the end of the world and they'd have to be dramatic to hold a slip like that against you. I wouldn't, and I lost my dad. His birthday is Christmas, too.

just bad luck, they shouldnt get mad, maybe just apologize? i agree with #4. FYL, definitely not a YDI.

you know if the phone still doesn't say message sent then you can stop it just press the end/hang up button

that doesn't work on all phones. I have an iPhone and there is no end button and no other way to stop a text. also, maybe the op remembered right after the message sent.
