Today, while walking to work with my best friend, he broke down in tears. I asked what was wrong, and he told me his mom passed away last night. All I could think to do was give him a hug and say I was sorry. Then some assclown walking past said "GAAAYYY!" and walked away laughing hysterically. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at work, reading some funny stories on my phone. Just as one of my co-workers decided to share that his father had passed away recently, I burst into uncontrollable, teary-eyed laughter at a story. They don't believe my explanation, and have branded me the office asshole. FML
Today, someone walking my way started waving. I waved back until I realized he wasn't looking at me. To make things worse, while walking past he said, "Get a fucking friend." FML
Today, while I was at work, I was on the verge of tears. My coworker asked what was wrong and I explained that I recently had to put my dog down. He then replied, "Cool story, bro. Tell it again." FML
Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral. As he was on his way out, I wanted to say something. All I could think of was, "Have fun!" FML
Today, my mom walked in on me crying in my room and yelled at me for being a "weak little crybaby." I’d just found out my best friend died in a car accident. When I told my mom that, she said, "Does it look like I fucking care?" FML
Today, I was at a party and saw an old friend from college. I went up to her asking how she was and how her family was. She went on to tell me that her husband left her a month ago and started crying. I told her that he was an ass anyway and that she didn't need him. Turns out he died. FML
Today, at work, I misheard a customer telling me a story. To be polite, I did a slight laugh and nodded my head. She actually told me her mum had died. FML
Today, I was walking by the side of the interstate because my car broke down. A nice young man stopped and asked if I was tired of walking. I said yes, to which he replied, "Try jogging asshole" then laughed and drove off. It was raining balls. FML
Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend, when I saw my best friend. I jokingly did a double-take and said I didn't recognize him with his clothes on. We laughed, talked a bit, then went our separate ways. My girlfriend later dumped me, claiming I'm blatantly gay and cheating on her. FML
Today, my coworker left a tiny mess in the break room. I cleaned it up and jokingly said, "Your mother isn't here to clean up after you." She started crying. I forgot her mom died last week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is what's wrong in our culture. No one, especially men, can show emotion and affection anymore without being labeled as "homosexual" or "pervert" or "pedophile". OP, ignore it. You were being a good friend and I'm sure your friend appreciated it.

Agreed! Even if they were a couple it would still be pathetic. OP, you were there for your friend. That's what a friend should do. So **** that random dude!

There are a lot of immature people out there. Pay them no mind and continue comforting your pal.........By the way if his mother passed away last night why in the world is he going to work the next day? Poor guy needs to be home with family or something.

#23, I think that'd make the OP actually gay though.

Sure, but that passerby was obviously using the term as a slur. That's not cool.

I dont even know nor understand what inclines people to be such asshats to others, at this rate, there really will be 2 types of people in this world, kids who are raised ignorant in bubble wrap, and the dickwad bullies like this asshole who stops others from wanting to interact with others.

Especially the pedophile part. Don't ever try to be nice to a kid unless you know them or their parents.

And then everyone wonders why so many men end up snapping and committing acts of violence. Anger can often be one of the only emotions they learn how to really express to others. Anything else makes them "weak" apparently. It's ridiculous.

Even them strangers will call them pedophiles. My bro is 25 and has 4 kids. Whenever people see him hugging his own kids they give him weird looks and some have even called him a creep or pervert.

Especially men? I think you mean only men. Who calls women gay for expressing emotion?

Women are punished for expressing different emotions. Angry or passionate women are labeled "crazy" and dismissed; sad or lonely women are "needy" and desperate. The stigma against showing feelings is leveled heavily against men, but it does not affect only men by any means.

People are horrid. I'd rather be gay than a jerk anyway. Good on you OP for being such a caring friend.

That's terrible. Lots of love to him.

Wow, how immature. My condolences to your friend's loss.

You should've beat the crap out of him then told all his friends and coworkers that he got his ass kicked by a gay guy.

I might not agree with the violence, but gay being used as a slur completely depends on how it is used. This person DID use it in an insulting and demeaning way. The word itself isn't insulting, the intent behind it is what makes it bad.

Its sad that men can't show their feelings or weakness without being called gay or weak
