Today, my idiot sister had to have her aged dog put down, then she posts on MY Facebook page, "RIP, Buddy, we'll miss you." My adult children and most of my friends thought I died. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my grandmother died. No one called me to let me know she passed. I found out because people kept writing RIP on her Facebook wall. My siblings and I weren't even mentioned in her obituary with the other grandchildren, but they did remember to mention her dog. FML
Today, a friend thought it would be funny to make a R.I.P. page for me on Facebook. Most liked post? "Too bad this page is fake." 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 found out my grandfather died via Facebook, because apparently both my father and my aunt think posting a status about it immediately rather than calling family is the thing to do. FML
Today, I saw selfies of my aunt and her friends on Facebook having a great time. They took the pictures at my mother's funeral last week. FML
Today, I added the wrong reaction to a Facebook post, using the laughing smiley instead of the hug, and only noticed two hours later, when my friend wouldn't talk to me because she thought I like found the fact that her dog died funny. FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. FML
Today, I was suspended from work. Last week, while working at the hospital, they brought in a patient who was involved in an accident. He was pronounced DOA (Dead On Arrival). He was a longtime friend of mine, so I posted my grief on Facebook and Instagram. That’s how his mom and sister found out. FML
Today, I knew it was going to be a fun day when I woke up to find that my kids' new puppy had died in the night. FML
Today, a friend posted the Facebook status "Ahhh... relief." Trying to be funny, I replied "Why? Did you just poop?" A few hours later, I read her previous posts and found out her dad's in the hospital having heart surgery. Now everyone thinks I'm a heartless dick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sure that misunderstanding could be cleared up fairly easily. Sorry to hear her dog had to be put down though. That's never easy. :(

Why is your sister the idiot? She's grieving for her dog. Your kids are idiots for not getting more information before assuming, and you're not looking too bright here either because you haven't done anything to correct their assumptions.

I thought she posted on his timeline from her profile.

#27 she did. thats what #15 means by she should have posted it on her own FB page, not the siblings. you post on someones facebook page or wall. thats what was said before the timeline crap came in.

#12 how do you know that OP hasn't already corrected the problem? OP doesn't say if he/she did or not yet so now you ate assuming that OP didn't.

Depends how old you are, it could be believable!

Is that really how these morons think we are grieving for family these days? By POSTING IT ON ******* FACEBOOK? For ****'s sake.

Thank you! The day I see someone tagged in a status to let them know that a family member/friend died is the day I end my life.

We'll make sure to announce your suicide - and the underlying reason - when that happens. On FaceBook. We might even consider making a FaceBook fanpage about it.

all people know how to communicate by is facebook and texting. its really sad actually that theres less social face to face but more interweb going on. whats more sad is that we're starting younger and younger with these things and not teaching children interaction is necessary, but just handing them a gadget instead.

I love seeing your comments on FML, Doc - obviously for the wit, but also because it's often a handy little indicator that you have a new blog post up :)
SweetasCandy0609 28
hey doc, I agree with you however some people are so dumb that they say everything on Facebook now from what they are eating to when someone dies I've seen it with some of my friends Facebook and I makes me kinda irritated because I don't really need them to tell me everytime they eat something.

Dawnimus - Damn, am I becoming that predictable? Hm...I need to address that.

Well I don't want to miss a fan page about me... Is it too late to reconsider?

Why in the hell-- Dear God, whatever. Just pat yourself on the back that you aren't as hairbrained.

Shouldve put the picture of the dog or something. That wouldve helped
SweetasCandy0609 28
#20 I agree or at least of put it on her wall instead of OP'S since it wasn't even OP'S dog.

Accidents happen. Give her a break, she's distressed.

My condolences to your sister, but why did she post it on your page?

You should go with it then "rise from the grave".
