Today, I attended an elderly man's funeral. As I approached the casket his wife said, "Thank you for coming." I replied with, "No, thank you." FML

I'm sorry op. In cases where someone we know dies our body can get very stressed and cause us to say/do things that really don't make sense... sorry for your loss

I tried that twix thing... I almost died in a car accident...

Just wipe your brain with some clorox (sp?)

Geez people. The guy only made a mistake. OP, this is neither a YDI or FML . It's more of an awkward moment. I am sure the woman isn't mad at you.

Don't worry OP, I'm sure she didn't think anything of it. That's a really common thing for people to say.

Why attend a random elderly persons funeral

#4, because OP is a funeral crasher, duh.

To troll the wife of the deceased, of course. Oh, and I see you've ditched the fake Sonny Bill Williams picture (can't fool a Kiwi), I'm proud of you, Marinus.

#7 you posted your comment just a fraction faster than me! Now I look like I'm having a go at you lol

Op simply says "an elderly mans funeral". So I can understand the joke 4 made. It sounds like he is a funeral crasher. Without the specification of great uncle, neighbor, grandparents friends ect. It seems they were just strolling along and decided to go to the funeral.

thank you OP, for posting this FML. and bravo for going to his funeral, that's highly respectful, and funerals are really depressing and you endured it anyways. you just said elderly man so i don't know if you were close to him or not

I bet she just looked at you like What the...? lol How did you recover from that?

Classic case of foot in mouth syndrome. I'm prescribing you a full dose of thinkbeforeyouspeak.

Things like "No, thank you" are usually instinctive

So you would instinctively say, "No, thank you ." If asked if you want wanted to go eat some dog shit? No. You should always think about what you're saying, and this story is a prime example.

Terrific recovery there #6, OP needs to step their game up!
