Today, my uncle died. It was also my grandpa's 85th birthday. His reaction to the death? "Best birthday gift ever!" FML

Today, we surprised my grandpa by being at his house when he arrived. We haven't seen him in seven years. He had a small heart attack. It was his birthday. FML
Today, my family is still telling me to "get over" the death of my great aunt. The great aunt who always gave the most wonderful birthday gifts, and was overall one of the most pleasant people I've ever met, and I'm NOT allowed to be sad that she's gone. Did I mention she died on my birthday? FML
Today, I went out to see my uncle on my mom’s side and his family for my mom’s birthday. My oldest cousin insisted that he and his wife give their gift first. It was a stuffed bear, along with the news that they’re expecting their first kid, and making my mom a great-aunt. My gift was a cake she used to make. FML
Today, it's my birthday. It's also the day of my grandmother's funeral. I spent most of my 21st birthday in a cemetery. FML
Today, it was my birthday. It was also the only day my family wanted to hold the graveside funeral for my grandmother, who passed last week. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandmother died yesterday. We were close and she basically raised me. FML
Today, I found an obituary clipping on my kitchen table. It was for my grandpa. No one told me he died. FML
Today, I found one good thing that came from my great-uncle's death: My family can no longer start arguments about his date of birth. Except now I have a new problem: They're mad at me because I was right all along. Someone's dead and they're too busy being sore losers about a date to care. I miss him. FML
Today, my grandpa passed away. The only emotion my dad showed was anger, because my grandpa owed my dad money. Now he wants to take it from my grandma, like he's some sort of mobster. FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

WTF do the current events have to do with anything in people's families??? That's one of the dumbest things I've heard all week!! And who are you to judge and say the grandpa needs his arse kicked, much less by his grandson/granddaughter?? For all we know maybe the uncle was a total jerk who'd been a weight in the family all his life, hence the grandpa's feelings. He's too harsh maybe, but you expecting some young kid kicking some old guy is ridiculous. Think before you write idiocies.

Because you're so stupidly annoying that not even the other FML visitors can freaking stand you. At least there's some justice in this world, if they voted you down. >:D

And she only comments to say pointless stupid garbage too. Sure the comments in this site aren't exactly genius level or anything, but hers are stupid and annoying enough to infuriate the other people reading, so that's pretty sad.

And you've commented numerous times with the same message... Kind of like the pot calling the kettle black, hm? I agree with the points you brought up earlier, but there's no need to act like such a douchebag and troll another person (even if they may bring it upon themselves) and continue reiterating your facts. One post is enough to get your point across. e_e

#93 I didn't spam her or anyone at all. I merely repeated in a different comment a part of what I said in one of my other comments. I don't see how you view that as trolling, and the only possible explanation for you viewing that as posting "numerous times with the same message" is that you can't count past 1 or 2, or differentiate between the first comment and the second. Besides, since I have to point it out because you seem incapable to understand, the difference between the "pot and the kettle" lies in the fact that my comments at least make sense, and don't cause pain from the sheer imbecility of what is being said, unlike her comments... Not that this is any of your business anyway. I was just agreeing with someone who seems to feel the same way too, and you popped up to whine and defend a moron who irritates the community with her stupidity.

How about I dumb down my speech enough for you to understand? I agreed with your original point, but there's no need to bitch out someone just because, OMG, you don't like them. Make your point and then shut the **** up, seriously. You only need to comment once to make your point. No need to repeat yourself AT ALL. The same message more than once = unnecessary. Though I'll definitely ignore you after this, since you come across as an attention ***** with major self-esteem issues. :3 Since I don't think I simplified myself enough... TL;DR: You're a bitch. ^^

old people say irrational things when they are sad. when MY uncle died my grandmother kept going on about how at least she wouldn't have to clean his room anymore (he still lived with her). but afterwards she broke down and cried for hours nonstop.
