Today, I got a call from my optometrist. I ignored the call, because I already knew I had my appointment tomorrow. When I listened to my messages later, I found out it was from his secretary, saying all of his appointments have been canceled due to him passing away last night. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was supposed to see an apartment. Thirty minutes after I was to meet the owner, she still hadn't shown. I called her. When I got no response, I was annoyed and kept calling. Finally, she answered, said, "I'm in the hospital with my father. He just died. Please stop calling me," and hung up. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML
Today, my doctor died. Last week, after a check up I'd had because I was worried about a cough, he told me not to worry because I was as healthy as he was. FML
Today, I called a guy who had requested a free marketing consultation for his funeral home through the internet a couple of days ago. When I got through, the receptionist seemed a little taken back by me wanting to talk to him. He had died and was buried yesterday. FML
Today, I answered a call I thought was from my friend and opened with, “What do you want, fuck face?” It was actually my dentist confirming my appointment. There was a long pause before she politely repeated my name to ensure they had the right patient. FML
Today, I got up and left for work despite being really sick, because I had a big meeting. Halfway to work, in deadlocked traffic, my boss texts me to let me know he's rescheduling the meeting to tomorrow because of personal conflicts. FML
Today, after over a week of trying to get a hold of my doctor for a much-needed medication refill, he finally called back. Too bad my phone got unplugged and died in the middle of the night. FML
Today, I received a letter from the doctor's office saying that I'd missed an appointment and could be dropped as a patient if I missed another. My mom scheduled the appointment for me without my knowledge, and never told me that I had one. I also can't make it to any appointments right now, because my car broke down. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office for an appointment. After waiting for ages, I asked the receptionist what the delay was. Apparently, I had no standing appointment today. This is coming from the same receptionist who checked me in nearly two hours ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#30, the post isn't unclear. What is unclear is how this is an FML for the OP. What difference would answering the phone have made? Same outcome either way. Is OP seriously complaining because a doctor she sees once a year inconvenienced her? FHfamily'sL, not hers.

OP deserves it for thinking THEIR life is effed because they can't make any more appointments with the doctor/all other ones were cancelled. Think about the man's family for once, ass hat?

Holy shit I live in MA and my eye doctor just died. :( Let me guess, Middlesex county, His last name started with a B?
cactus_fml 0
Or maybe the OP just thought it sucked that their eye-doctor died, not because they have to switch doctors.

Tell them you require 24 hour notice for cancellations, otherwise you're billing them $89.

for real. how is this an fml unless you were emotionally attached to your doctor? yeah it's sad that he passed and I'm in no way trying to sound like a coldhearted bitch, but can't you just find another doctor?

@ purplemnm For someone who called another a retard you sure aren't very smart yourself. Learn to spell and use grammatically correct sentences. I'm not a grammar freak but your post was just plain annoying.

Exactly, how is this an FML? Answering the call would not have made any difference. If anything, it saved the awkward "Umm... that sucks, sorry for your loss" conversation. I could see it as an FML if they DIDN'T check their messages and still showed up for the appointment. F the family's life, F the life of the poor receptionist who had to make those calls while grieving. But in no way is this an FML for a patient who was inconvenienced and feels bad about someone dying that they hardly know.

i agree. it might have been a legit FML if the OP showed up to the appointment.
brii_g 0
no she's 'seriously' NOT complaining, jeez haven't u read the other comments?! the op feels bad and this is clear enough in the post!

I think you kind of deserve it. Because you ignored the call. But thats more of a bad thing for his family than it is for you.
AJG390 0
Plus, OP obviously feels like an asshole for ignoring the call, otherwise I don't think he would have posted this.. But again. I never said he was an asshole..

Double post, your bad.

Well then I didn't mean to imply it. Because I don't think he is one.
