Today, my colleague rushed off to the hospital for the birth of his first son. Having met his wife at the Christmas party a couple of years ago, I called to congratulate her. Shame I didn't realize it was his mistress having the baby. Guess who broke the news to the wife. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

Ooops, but at least you got the wife into the clearing! It's about time she saw through the cheating bastard this colleague of yours is!

he would have needed a excuse to get off work, i doubt he yelled out "im having a baby!!!" , he probably mentioned it casually and it got passed around work

I'm guessing his wife isn't really involved with his work... Meaning he isn't worried about people there knowing. Guess he was wrong.

Having a baby sorta takes awhile. Yes, she has time for a phone call.

It's a rule for fml's to start with 'today'.

Um, you met her once a couple of years ago and you thought it was appropriate to call her? YDI for sure.

I agree, if I got a random phone call from my husband coworker, I'd be like, "Who the hell is this again?!"

Nowhere in the FML does it say "once". They could have met and became friends.

if they were friends or somewhat close, you would think she would have known if the coworkers wife was pregnant, FYL

I assume the OP called the wife when she thought the couple had left the hospital.

Who said you can't have your cell phone in a hospital? I texted and called all the time when I went to the emergency room for stomach and head problems.
