Foot in mouth

By Anonymous - 15/06/2009 04:48 - Australia

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

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.

I'm sure she understands. If you apologized, great. If not, don't bring it up anymore. And try to be more careful next time.

I think she understands that it was out of habit. She's talked to you on the phone before and knows that you usually end your phone convos that way, so she would understand.

#66... Wait, what? I'm with you on the morbid part, to a point - it at least makes sense, but what does being overweight have to do with anything?? Perhaps I'm missing something... OP - Sorry for your loss. Don't worry about the slip-up; people make mistakes like that all the time.
