Foot in mouth

Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML

Today, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML

Adieu

Today, I saw an old friend while out and about. Since I don't leave the house very often, my friend was surprised to see me in person. He jokingly asked if someone was dying, and I cried in response. I was in fact going to the hospital to say goodbye to my grandma. FML

Brain freeze

Today, I work at a hospice center. At 3AM, a call just went out to a man's family to come because he was dying. I didn't realize that this man was my old friend's grandpa. When I saw her, I smiled really big and said, "Hey! Great to see you!" Her grandpa was ACTIVELY DYING. Stupid stupid stupid. FML

Big hugger

By dummy - 22/05/2009 05:12 - Canada

Today, my grandpa took the family out for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turned around without thinking and give him a big hug, and said, "Thanks for dinner Grandpa." It wasn't my grandpa. FML

You should have added "In your prayers i mean" then it wouldn't be an fml.

#12: Please type better. It is no that hard to add punctuation and other things you need. I had no clue what you were saying. What's up with the 3,808 people who believe the OP deserves this. Do y'all have a heart? Can you understand things? OP: Aw, that sucks. I still find myself referring to my Grandpa although he died about 3 years ago. I wish you the best.

It's really not that bad, it's not like she would just forget about it and you reminded her. The conversation probably went something like this: "...and say hi to grandpa to me- oh god I'm sorry, I'm just used to-" "No, it's OK" "Bye then" Mildly awkward at best. Not an FML. Besides, YDI for being that absent minded.
