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

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.

Oh yes, because getting a"YDI" is the absolute, WORST thing that can happen to you... anyone who puts YDI must be a heartless idiot. Please. Well, OP, it's not really your fault... although maybe you could have thought a little harder on what you were saying... sorry for your loss. Isn't it funny how somber people get when we talk about a slip up concerning death, but if it was any other kind of slip up, people would immediately bash this person?

You know, when my mom died, I moved in with my grandma and my own phone line was put into my room so I could use dial-up internet without tying up Grandma's line. Well, somehow she called the number accidentally, thinking she was calling one of her daughter's and I picked up. She said, "Is your mother there?" I told her it was me and we hung up. She came upstairs feeling so utterly terrible. Poor dear. I knew she made an honest mistake and no doubt your grandma understood as well. These things happen. The person who makes the mistake feels worse, I think, than the person who's on the receiving end.
