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.

Don't mess with other people's belongings!!! Didn't your mother teach you any manners????

It's the fact that it was "several months" off that should have tipped you off. If someone lets something like that go for a long time, there is bound to be a reason. "Oh, I noticed your calendar was off. Would you like my help fixing it? No? It's intentional? Wow, good thing I checked." How hard is that? Sorry OP but YDI for not checking, despite your good intentions.

Why would you even touch things in other people's house without asking first

I'm not trying to be mean, but that's why I leave things the way they are

This is why you should do only what you're told to. Should've at least asked them. :(

I can't believe people are arguing over this. It's not your house, don't touch their stuff. Period.

You dont even know the daughters age! How can anyone say that she needs to move on when you know NOTHING bout the mother/daughter?! No one has any right to tell anyone what the proper amount of time to grieve is!
