Today, I was in my car with my window down at a red light. Outside, a sweet old lady was sitting on a bench with her dog sleeping next to her. I yelled out the window to tell her how cute her dog was. She replied, "He's dead" and cried. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend of a couple of months texted me that she was very sad because her puppy had just passed away. Feeling sorry for her, I bought her another puppy of the same breed. I wrapped it in a blanket and placed it on the passenger seat and went to pick her up from school. She sat on it. FML
Today, I asked if my friend wanted to come meet my dog and give him a treat. We were walking to my back yard, her holding 3 hot dogs, when she said, "I think your dog is dead!" I said, "No, he's just old and sleeps all the time and won't wake up until you pet him because he's deaf." He was dead. FML
Today, at my job at a pet store, my boss told me to go outside and hand out flyers. I saw a man sitting on a bench and walked up, saying, "Hi! Do you have a pet?" He teared up and said, "I just put her down this morning." FML
Today, I left my dog in the car while I quickly ran into a store. I came out to a woman smashing at my window, screaming that it was too hot in the car for the dog and saying I was being inhumane. The car was still running and the air conditioning was on. FML
Today, my upstairs neighbor was leaving the parking lot, and stopped to wave. I smiled and waved back, only to realize that she was saying goodbye to her cat, who was sitting in the window. FML
Today, after calling my boyfriend and telling him that my dog had just died, he hesitated and stuttered, "She was old, sick, and suffering. Babe, it was her time to go." He then informed me he had to go to his friend's house and hung up. My dog was two years-old, in great health, and was hit by a car. FML
Today, I woke up, patted my dog and kissed his nose. He was dead. FML
Today, I was in the car for 8 hours driving home from North Carolina with my family. We brought my dog along and I was petting her for most of the ride. I thought she fell asleep, so I continued to play with her. She never woke up. I played with a dead dog for almost an hour and a half. FML
Today, I was driving and stopped behind a person at a stop sign. Their car didn't move for about 1 minute. I got out of my car yelling at the person. It was an old woman. She wasn't breathing. FML
Today, I took the bus to work. A sweet old lady got on after and sat next to me. Halfway there, she fell asleep, her head on my shoulder. I gently tried to wake her up before my stop. She wasn't sleeping. I let a dead woman lie on me for 30 minutes. FML

this sorta reminds me of the 3rd Ace Ventura movie (Ace Ventura Jr.) where the grandpa comes and is dragging his dog throughout the movie, and they keep telling him he's dead, but he deny's it, and at the end the dog is jumpin and moving around, lol

well i dont know about you but where i live when i am at a red light so is the opposite side of traffic so no screaming through traffic. and maybe shes just a nice person? just a thought

Not trying to start anything here but usually the REASON the light is red is so other drivers can cross and turn onto the street you're on. So you either have red lights for no reason in your town or yes there is still traffic in the lane next to you...

This is truly sad. The old lady might have been a little crazy and didn't want to get rid of her dog, maybe she's had the dog for a long time. It's sad, but older people do strange things sometimes. I just hope someone came along and helped her because op sounds like she drove off. =(

Dead dog, dead dog , what did they feed you.... dead dog,dead dog, its not your fault.....

You should console the old lady by saying, "You'll see him again in heaven . . . pretty soon."

Why in the world would you tell any one they are going to die soon? Are you God? I think not. Only God has the final say as to when it's our time. That would be so mean for op to tell the old lady or any one for matter. I'm not trying to sound mean, if I am, but that just kinda ticked me off a tad.

All old people are going to die soon . . . it's just an actuarial fact. C'mon! The old lady has to be batshit crazy to sit on a public bench with a dead animal. Did the dog drop dead then and there, or did she carry his stiff corpse to the bench? While the timing of her death is merely a statistical prediction, I thought you might criticize my ability to predict her post-mortem destination. Each religion has its own algorithm for sending dead people to various regions of their afterlife amusement park.
tmmundy 17
Oh and I suppose in your religion, you have the ability to say when people will die. lmao. Somehow I find that hard to believe. All I was saying, you should never say that to any one. We know we will die one day, but who are you to say when. lol. No use in arguing about this. It's just our difference of opinions.

84 - You're obviously quite new here if you haven't figured out his first comment was sarcastic. Jesus, no need to get your knickers in a twist.
tmmundy 17
No as a matter of fact I'm not new here. And I'm not going to apologize for something I thought wasn't sarcastic. It didn't seem that way to me at all. By the way, I did say it was my opinion. So don't get your knickers in a twist.
perdix 31
Tmmundy, your problem is you think I mean a completely different time scale than I do. I'm not saying I could choose the moment of the OPs death, but if she's really an old lady, she's got a few more years, tops, and that's "pretty soon" in my book.
5t3ff1k4h 45
Telling you to get your knickers out of a twist doesn't mean my own are in a twist. Calm yourself down, breathe, and then maybe we'll talk. In the meantime, whether you realized it at first or not, now you know so there's no reason to get so worked up.
