Today, I went to my grandfather's funeral. As I stood there, bawling my eyes out, my aunt came over and put her arm around me. She leaned her head close to mine. I assumed she was going to say something comforting. Instead she asked where I'd bought my shoes from. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML

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
Today, my grandad smacked me on the back of the head, and told me to, "Act like a goddamn man and stop crying." It was at the funeral of my mum and sister, who both died in a car crash. FML

Shit, at least she didn't say something like "He never really liked you, you know." Sorry about your grandpa.

F your grandpa's life for dying. He should be the one typing this: "Today, I died. FML" This was a really stupid one...

you have an awesome aunt! but YDI for being such a baby. she probably asked that to get you to STFU and stop embarrassing the family.

that's probably her way of dealing with grief - distracting herself by having normal conversations with other people. that being said, she should have been sensitive enough to realize you were in the mood for comfort, not small talk.
