Today, my dad turned off our cable. The reason? His favorite character from The Walking Dead died. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML
Today, I found out my mom is getting rid of cable TV. My dad and I bought her a 700 dollar plasma screen TV for Christmas. FML
Today, my girlfriend changed our cable subscription to include MTV. This made us lose the only channel I care about: HBO. Goodbye Game of Thrones, hello Teen Mom. FML
Today, I tried to get my son off of the couch by turning off the wifi. Afterward, I went to watch tv. Turns out he got me back by turning off the cable. FML
Today, I found out that my dad writes really weird and scary slash fiction involving characters from all of the CSI TV show franchises. FML
Today, I was watching some episodes of The Walking Dead with my boyfriend, after recently introducing him to the series. A scene involving Carl came on, and my boyfriend said, "God damn. You ever give me a kid that annoying, I'll shoot both of ya right in the head." FML
Today, I hung up the phone and went to tell my dad that I’d finished switching all the utilities into my name. Then I remembered I was switching them into my name because of his death. FML
Today, my husband surprised me by cooking a romantic dinner. I asked him why the sudden gesture. His response? "The cable was out." FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, I was rushed to the hospital because I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. Why was I crying? My favorite anime character died. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell your dad he'll meet his favorite character soon enough if he doesn't turn it back on.

Denial is a preliminary stage of grief, my friend. Hang tight for the long ride.

Noah? Really? Because I doubt it's 'guy I forgot his name because he's that important'.

Maybe he didn't say the name of the character that died because there are some people that haven't watched it yet.

@Condor There is no reason you couldn't have watched it by now, a show as amazing as The Walking Dead should be watched the day it happens, otherwise expect spoilers and keep quiet about them. It's nobody's fault but your own.

So let's say that they couldn't afford to have a tv or pay the satellite bill. How do you expect them to be able to watch it? There are a lot of people that aren't able to watch it the day it comes out. It's not their fault. Maybe they don't have AMC or a tv.

if they don't have a TV they're probably not fans of the show

I have to wait a day after, because we can't pay for it. Avoiding spoilers is unbelievably hard, especially when you're just scrolling through Facebook, or even FML.

Plus if you live in the UK it's not on til the day after

If you just send the water, land, and cable people a letter, they should turn it back on. I know because this same type of thing happened to my cousin when his favorite Wheel of Fortune character died. Thankfully, I was there to help him out and now his phone and cable work again. Thanks T-Mobile! ! !

You're trying too hard. Or not hard enough? Either way, you were more confusing than you were funny.

#80 - I saw this FML before I've seen the latest episode, but I was smart enough to not go to the comments section until I've watched it. It's your own fault.
