Today, while working at a client's house, I noticed that their sliding calendar was several months off. I fixed it. Later the daughter saw and started crying. Apparently the date was the last one her mother had set it to before she died. FML

Today, my daughter decided it'd be funny to change the time on my clock. My boss didn't think it was funny. FML
Today, my coworker left a tiny mess in the break room. I cleaned it up and jokingly said, "Your mother isn't here to clean up after you." She started crying. I forgot her mom died last week. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Today, it was my daughter's birthday. I didn't know I had a daughter. FML
Today, at work, a customer cried because the cake I made her was not "exactly" the same as the display. I'm the one who made the display and it was the same but the display cake had faded a bit, since it had been there for a month. I'd mentioned this to the customer when she placed the order. FML
Today, I was doing a little victory jig after finally sending out the last of the invitation cards for my wedding when I realised that I had forgotten to put the date of the event on them. FML
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Today, my mom was screaming and throwing things at me and I didn’t know why. Then I checked the date. Her birthday was yesterday. FML
Today, on the first occasion I've seen my boss since her brief leave, I brought up how I got to hear all our customers' heartwarming plans for their moms on Mother's Day. Her mother just died. That's why she was on leave. FML
Today, I was doing my job and trying to teach a lazy bunch of 16-year-olds. A girl entered the room just 15 minutes before class ended, so I snapped, "Someone had better have died for you to be this late!" She immediately burst into tears. Turns out, someone had. FML

This is why you don't touch people's things when you're working at their house. Def YDI!

YDI, although it was a good gesture, you shouldn't mess with stuff at other people's houses especially if it's a client's.

Idiot. You NEVER touch anything in someone else's house. Ever.

My mother passed just a year and a half ago. I gotta be honest even at a year and a half it's a wound still raw enough on my heart that something like this would have set me to tears to. Than again we were so close that I still haven't gotten past picking up my phone to call her about something before remembering she's not around any more. You can't really judge a person's actions in these situations unless you know exactly how close they were to the ones that have died.

You say, "Hey, your calendar is off" before you go and fix it.

It's not your home, DON'T TOUCH! Just like a 4 year old.

Yeah I learned don't touch other people's stuff even when you think your helping. I once emptied a dish washer while babysitting only to find out they didn't get washed. The family was OCD- washed them by hand and then in the dish washer. So they had to rewash everything in the house. It's nice to let them know its on the wrong day though

This is why you don't mess with other people's stuff. If it was a day or two off, I could understand. But if it's months off then it's obviously there for a reason. Next time use your brain.
