Today, I brought my best friend to my uncle's birthday party. We were having a great time until my grandmother walked up to us and said to me, "You sure have a nice looking boyfriend." My friend is a girl. She has cancer and lost all of her hair due to chemotherapy. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML
Today, I was FaceTiming a good friend of mine from back home, telling her how good she looked and how happy I was to hear from her. My insanely jealous girlfriend snatched my phone and smashed it on the ground. I was saying my friend looked good because she'd just finished chemo. FML
Today, I took my grandma to the hospital to visit her estranged husband who she hasn't seen in years. After a thoroughly disasterous visit, we're waiting in the carpark and my gran strokes my face and tells me I have a lot of facial hair. I thought she was going to thank me. And I'm a girl. FML
Today, I completely shaved my head as a gesture for my boyfriend's mother, who was suffering from cancer and having a terrible time undergoing chemotherapy. Turns out she doesn't even have cancer, and my boyfriend thought I wouldn't have the guts to do it. FML
Today, at my younger sister's wedding, my hospitalised grandmother called to ask if I have a boyfriend yet, both my parents wondered if I'll ever get married, and when the 13-year-old next to me caught the bouquet, his father yelled from the back to give it to me instead. FML
Today, my long-term girlfriend broke up with me because my hair "falls out" and I "will definitely be bald soon", even though it's not that bad. The same girl who I supported through her chemotherapy and gave her promises that I would stay with her no matter how she looked. FML
Today, my grandma wasn't feeling well, so I went to her house to check on her. After about 20 minutes, I knew she was feeling better when she looked at me and said, "So, do you have a boyfriend yet? I pray every night that I get to live long enough to see you with a boyfriend." FML
Today, I had to help one of my best friends while he was having a seizure. Earlier this morning my longtime girlfriend broke up with me. Oh, and also earlier this week I found out my other best friend has cancer. Lord take me now. FML
Today, I announced to my friends that my grandmother is dying. My best friend pulled out his phone and casually announced, "Technically, everyone is dying." FML
Today, my grandpa pointed me out to one of his friends, saying, "Yeah, she's the ugly one." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OO''''' i hope youre friends alright tell her bald is beautiful cause no matter what you look like, you should be proud of who you are, even if youre a lowlife, uh... no wait.... I sound too much like usagi-chan, although shes one of my role models :3 give this advice to your friend.. your grandma like others said, is prolly senile and half blind and is your friend very tall andd nto to be rude to the sick, kind flat.... or wearing thick clothes? *hugs your friend*

Aww....T_T but she didn't know and she's old, they don't have good eyesight. Now if someone your age said that, then you should pulverize them X3

I hope your friend is able to overcome her fight with cancer. I also hope she wasn't too upset... If she was, you need to put aside your anger for your grandma and be there for your friend. Don't leave her side. Last year I lost someone to stage four lung cancer and I only saw her once. It killed me, but I couldn't bring myself to see her. Don't make that mistake.

Yeah and not having social sense as far as interacting w/ people goes. This reminds me of an FML where a couple was in the elevator coming back from delivering their baby and some old senile couple made a remark about the baby. Or the mother. I forgot what it was exactly but it definitely was inappropriate.

Ironically, Grandma's a big fan of Sinead O'Connor.

I guess that song "Nothing Compares 2 U" is kind of a lie because you and Sinead compare to each other ;)
