Oops This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff Augusta, United States

Made his day, probably

Today, I was at Walmart when I saw my grandpa in the next aisle looking at magazines. Wanting to surprise him, I ran up behind him and hugged him around the middle. Up close, I realized he wasn't my grandpa. FML

Everybody needs a hug.

I had the same thing happen to me at my daughter's high school graduation. I came up from behind to hug and congratulate her but it wasn't her. Fortunately, it was one of her friends and she had a good sense of humor about it.

Everybody needs a hug.

Yeah, This FML for me needs to have info on how they reacted. If they were cheered up by it, no big deal. If they were cheered up by it in a creepy way, FYL. If it turned out to be Red Foreman, well good luck getting that foot out of your ass and FYL again.

Including my mailman ^_^ (if anyone remembers that FML a while back.....) he still sometimes asks for a hug xD

Umm that never happened to me

I saw my grandma on the sidewalk holding things walking I ran to help her.. Wasn't her so I kept running past the lady. Awks

#40: It will... It will...

I hugged my mailman once thinking it was my boyfriend at the door.....

No it doesnt happen to everyone

I made mistakes like that, but only when I was a little child. Really, you couldn't predict that, OP?

All old people look alike, don't worry.

Your argument is invalid.

Trust me, you aren't the first person to do something like that.

You could have given him a heart attack

Or something else,something that's hasn't worked in a while

Well, she made an old man very very happy, at least.

#17_You never know. Gramps may pop a little blue pill every so often when granny gets a bit frisky.

I never would have thought that Abby Scuito would submit an FML. I guess there is a first time for everything.

I was expecting it to say that your grandpa was looking at **** magazines! O.o

Today, I snuck up on my grandfather looking at magazines. I never took him for a playboy type. Fml
