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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a telemarketer called my house phone and asked for my grandpa. We were in the middle of having his wake. 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
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML
Today, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
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
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
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, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML
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.
