Today, I was walking down the street and I saw my brother on the other side of the road. He lives overseas and always told me he would visit when I least expected it. When I saw him, I got so excited I jumped on his back, screaming his name. It wasn't my brother. FML

Today, at the airport, I was waiting for my best friend who's been away for over a year. I spotted her, ran over, yelled her name, and jumped on her back. It wasn't her. It was a complete stranger who was somehow more terrified than I was embarrassed. FML

Today, I went to meet the girl I'd been talking to online for a while, and fallen in love with. When I arrived at her house, my brother answered the door and took a picture of my shocked face. He and his girlfriend had planned the entire thing because I'm apparently the most gullible member of the family. FML
Today, I showed up at my brother's house for a visit. Little did I know, there was a family gathering. My best friend was invited and I wasn't. She's "more fun and less awkward" than I am. FML
Today, my brother called me up. He said he needed to talk to me. Whenever someone says that, I naturally I get nervous. He said, "I gave one of my friends your number." I was shocked and asked why. "Your life makes me sad." FML
Today, on a dating site, I was matched with my brother, again. FML

That's so sad. You miss someone so much and then you think they are there, and its not them. How crushing. How could anyone say you desreve that? When people miss someone they alway grab on scraps of hope. At least you love your brother.

Yeah, something embarassing happens to everyone all the time, where you do/say something to a stranger because you think that it's someone else when you see them. :( That happened to me as a little kid. The OP just misses his/her brother. FYL though, for becoming excited, then having all your hopes crushed.

Haha! That's awesome! Sooooo, now for the typical questions that follow this sort of thing: Was he cute? Did you get his name? Is he single? When is he taking you to dinner? How hard did he laugh when you told him that you thought he was your brother? You didn't bruise him when you jumped, did you?! :-D
