Today, my caring way too much about proper grammar got out of hand when I corrected my girlfriend during a talk about her dying grandmother. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally told my girlfriend I love her. She corrected my grammar. FML
Today, my girlfriend confronted me for forgetting to take the trash out. At some point during the argument, I tried to calm her down, and the words "I should of" escaped my lips. She spent the next ten minutes calling me stupid and laughing at how my grammar goes to hell when I'm distressed. FML
Today, I found out my girlfriend starts fights with me over text because apparently, when I'm arguing with someone, I stop speaking in "annoying shorthand" and am grammatically correct. FML
Today, my girlfriend had an "accident" at home. She texted me about it. I tried to lightly tease her and sent a comment about her shitting her pants… to the family group chat by mistake. I'm currently writing my last will and testament. 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 was at my grandma's funeral. While giving the eulogy, I accidentally mixed up "You will be missed" and "You won't be forgotten" and instead said "You won't be missed." FML
Today, I texted my girlfriend that I'm going to 'lick my professor's ass' instead of 'kick' due to auto-correction on my phone. FML
Today, after holing myself up in my room for the day, I eventually turned my phone back on and told my girlfriend that my grandma passed away today. She replied, "Ask me if I fucking care," then accused me of not caring about our relationship because I went offline all day. FML
Today, trying to be nice, I sent a text to my mother-in-law saying that I couldn't wait to have her delicious casserole tonight. Only after sending, I realized that "casserole" had auto corrected to "asshole". FML
Today, my girlfriend has yelled at me multiple times for saying sorry too much. It's involuntary, due to me constantly being told I never do anything right growing up by my parents. She knows this, and is even then one who helped me realize this, and still yells at me for it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There's a difference between caring about grammar and being a dick about it. Learn some manners.

There's a little something called self control

I understand what you mean, you can try really hard not to correct someone but every once in a while it just slips...

Well maybe her grammar should R.I.P. Hmm...

Have you guys ever thought that maybe it just slipped out? They're probably going to laugh about it in a week or so. It's just a grammar correction.

It's not the fact he corrected her grammar it's the surrounding details and when he did it. He could have let it go. Remind me to correct all your flaws next time you're heart broken and crying and trying to talk to somebody about it

Obviously 64, but do you ******* listen? It could have slipped out. I'm most positive that he apologized and they moved on.

Stopping somebody mid sentence/thought and correcting grammar isn't a slip out. Talking about something, especially fast or heated, words can slip out. Grammar corrections coming from somebody who's supposed to be listening isn't a slip.

There is no excuse for bad grammar... You did the right thing... But to be perfectly honest, you really should know what words mean by now...
