Today, I mentioned on Facebook that I'll be out of town over the weekend, because I am attending my grandmother's funeral. I soon got comments saying "Pics or it didn't happen" and "Killed her for the inheritance, eh?" followed by a solitary "LOLLL". FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw selfies of my aunt and her friends on Facebook having a great time. They took the pictures at my mother's funeral last week. FML
Today, I decided it would be pretty amusing to press the "Like" button on everyone's status on Facebook without reading them just to get on peoples' nerves. After re-reading them later, I found out one of them said "I MISS YOU SOO MUCH GRANDMOM. RIP". I liked that her grandmother died. FML
Today, my grandmother died. No one called me to let me know she passed. I found out because people kept writing RIP on her Facebook wall. My siblings and I weren't even mentioned in her obituary with the other grandchildren, but they did remember to mention her dog. FML
Today, at my grandmother's funeral there was a fight about inheritance. It was my teenage daughters arguing about what they get when I die. FML
Today, I found out my grandfather died via Facebook, because apparently both my father and my aunt think posting a status about it immediately rather than calling family is the thing to do. FML
Today, I had to send a picture of my Grandma at her funeral to my girlfriend, because she thought I was out cheating on her. FML
Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, my grandma commented on my Facebook profile picture: "That's a great photo! It doesn't look anything like you!" FML
Today, I called off work saying my Great Grandmother died. A co-worker texted me later asking where and when the funeral was. I made up a lie and said some random funeral home and date. My co-workers sent flowers to the funeral home for condolences. The flowers were returned. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow why would you post in Facebook that you are attending a funeral. News flash no one wants to hear that expect the people who knew the deceased. Sorry for your loss.

Pray tell, exactly what are you supposed to use facebook for if not to inform people the going ons in your life, both good and bad?

News flash, you're a jerk.

Mirorbo, you get a thumbs up just for using old-fashioned "pray tell" in a question about Facebook.

To stalk- err I mean do research on hot chicks. Or is that just me?

If OP wants to post a status about attending a loved ones funeral, they can. There are no rules about what we can or cannot post about. Just because you don't want to doesn't mean everyone has to.

15- First off, you can't write all that and then follow up with "sorry for your loss". Second, my own grandmother's funeral was on Wednesday. I posted a few days later on Facebook to thank people for the cards/messages and texts that myself and my family received. I got a really nice response from people who didn't even know her. You don't have to know the descended to be kind to someone who is grieving.

Correction: that should have read "deceased"

ugh. first world problems. are you surprised that someone in the world didn't care? news flash: everyone dies. you're not special. & when you put your personal life on facebook you're subjecting yourself to everyone's opinions. whether they care or not. you did it to yourself. get over it.

Your friends sound terribly insensitive

Those "friends" are the kind of people who serve you burgers later in life.

I hope they weren't your best friends because if they were, you seriously need to re-evaluate your friends

These are probably the same types of people who go around saying inappropriate things to people, only to retort with "Dude! Lighten up! It was a joke!" when someone voices how offended or hurt they are.

Yeah I think I'd be findin some new people to hang with because that's beyond insensitive. That's straight up disrespectful and I'd be tellin every single one of those people to go to hell.

Sometimes,I really hate how insenstive and immature people of today have become. There is a time for joking, and then there is a time to be ******* serious.
