Today, I went to the hospital to visit my aunt and her newborn baby. The receptionist gave me the room number, and I went and my aunt was in the bathroom so I cuddle the baby, only to find that the woman who came out of the bathroom was a complete stranger. I was holding her baby. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I drove to the hospital to see my newborn. I went to the room, picked him out of the crate and held him. Then I heard the toilet flush and saw a woman who I didn't know come out. She screamed. My wife was in the room next door. FML
Today, I was at our local park and saw what I thought was my sister holding her baby. I walked up behind her, kissed her on the head, and said, “You’re such a good mum.” It was very much not my sister. It was a very confused and now probably traumatised stranger. FML
Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML
Today, I tried to make it right by visiting my girl in the hospital after she had our baby. I fucked up by freaking out and dumping her since I didn’t feel ready, but now wanted to do the right thing. When I got there, another guy was kissing her and holding my baby. My best friend/cousin. FML
Today, I gave birth to my daughter in a hospital corridor. The nurse who took me to my room afterwards tried to comfort me by saying there'd been worse incidents; she said that two years ago, a lady gave birth in the parking lot. That was me too. FML
Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML
Today, I met my wife's mistress, at the maternity ward in the hospital, after she gave birth to our second child. FML
Today, I visited my Aunt in hospital. Another patient got jealous, so she threw a tantrum. She threw things at us, pulled her drip out, threw herself to the floor, screamed, pounded the floor with her fists and pissed herself. My aunt is still waiting for a new room, and the staff blame me. FML
Today, I was at the airport to pick up my mother since my baby is due soon. As she arrived, I smiled wide and opened my arms for a hug, but she walked right by me. Apparently, being pregnant makes me unrecognizable. My husband and I had to tell it her was me, her own daughter. FML
Today, I had to go to the hospital. While I was there, my mom started hitting on a doctor. Later I saw them making out in the room next to me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That is very true, regardless if the baby belonged to your aunt or not, you cannot just pick up and hold a newborn baby without even asking for permission. Also I can't remember another serious comment by perdix besides this one.

The word is "receptionist".

why in the hell would someone just go in a room and pick up a baby, who they aren't sure if it's even their relatives... It makes no sense. And if you asked the receptionist, she probably would have asked for the lastname and if there were 2 or more by that name she would have asked for the first name. Op just epically failed. Smh.

Even if it was your aunts baby, you don't pick up a baby that is not yours without permission. New mothers especially are usually very picky about that. I would be. I wouldn't want every "friend" and "relative" holding my baby, least not before I was there to make sure they were someone I approved of and I would still supervise, and made sure they washed their hands.

What the hell is wrong with you? You never, ever pick up anyone's child without first asking the permission of the parent. Why would you stroll into any hospital room without first checking the name on the door and the proceed to snatch up an infant that you have not even verified belongs to the person you went to visit? Personally, I hope this woman called security and had you escorted from the building. You should know better than to put your hands on anything that does not belong to you, especially other people's children.

Adding to the choir and saying YDI for grabbing someone's baby (family or otherwise) without permission. That's never okay.

you shouldn't have picked up the baby without permission anyway. Some people don't like others holding their babies, especially newborns, whether they're family or not.
