ihateoldmagazines · This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff ·United States What do you mean, lady? 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.

Anonymous · 2 May 2025, 15:00 ·United States Open wide Today, I had a dentist appointment and was running late. I frantically put on my shoes and rushed out of the house. When I arrived at the dentist’s office, they told me I was scheduled for a root canal, not a cleaning. I forgot to confirm the appointment. After I sat down in the chair, I tried to back out, but they were already numbing my gums. FML I agree, your life sucks 126 You deserved it 531 2 comments Share

Anonymous · 23 July 2019, 14:33 Today, I had to go to the dentist to get 11 cavities filled. I took a wrong turn and ended up being 10 minutes late. My dentist told I had to reschedule because of his "10 minute policy." I have to wait 14 days now to get my cavities filled. FML I agree, your life sucks 1 670 You deserved it 1 313 13 comments Share
Anonymous · 2 December 2025, 09:00 Are you OK? 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 I agree, your life sucks 50 You deserved it 524 1 comment Share
