Today, a friend told me over MSN that her father had died. Trying to express some solidarity, I went to send her a tearful smiley. I accidentally sent her the dancing pig animation instead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my friend informed me that his dog died. Hoping to cheer him up, I sent him a random meme. My dumb ass mistakenly sent him a meme about dead dogs. FML
Today, my coworker texted me about her grandmother passing away. I meant to send a sad face but accidentally sent the party hat emoji. Now she probably thinks I was celebrating her grandma’s death. FML
Today, I was talking to my crush on MSN. She was telling me how her friend had passed away recently. I had two chats open and accidentally replied, "That's hilarious." FML
Today, I was texting a friend of mine. She mentioned it was her dad's birthday. I typed, "Tell him 'Happy Birthday' from me!" and as I pressed send, I remembered her dad was dead. FML
Today, I added the wrong reaction to a Facebook post, using the laughing smiley instead of the hug, and only noticed two hours later, when my friend wouldn't talk to me because she thought I like found the fact that her dog died funny. FML
Today, I texted my friend and asked her what her sad status on Facebook was about. She texted me back, saying her step-mother had passed away. I tried to reply with "awwh" but my phone autocorrected it to "ahaha." FML
Today, I meant to send a spicy message to my partner, but sent it to my dad due to the Whatsapp conversations being next to each other on my computer screen, and me not paying attention due to being an idiot. My dad replied, “Uh... not sure I needed that mental image.” FML
Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Today, my best friend was texting me about her sick dog. She wrote, "Do you think she will get better?", so I wrote, "I hope she does." It wasn't until later that I realized I accidentally wrote, "I hope she dies" instead. FML
Today, my good friend who just had a baby girl sent her newborn's pictures to me via picture message. To reply, instead of writing "Awwwwww" I wrote "Ewwwwww" by mistake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It may have cheered her up. You never know. P.S., why would you send a "cheerful smiley" to cheer her up?

O you failed epicly, i don't think a happy smiley with a tear dropping down was appropriate either

Why not? It's as good of a communication as texting or calling, especially if you're not incredibly close.

I recently lost my mother and to tell the truth I've had only two or three friends call me after being informed of her death. People usually have no idea what to say so they go for the easiest option that comes to mind. For a great many, that means a generic emoticon. Also, after a loss so great, I found myself incredibly exhausted due to shock and grief, it was really all I could do to email or text my friends the news, I was so overwhelmed. I had to toughen up to relay the news to family though.

Honestly, the dancing pig might be frowned upon, but I think (though I haven't lost anyone) that cheering someone up is better than getting them even more depressed by being depressed yourself. Just a thought. FYL though OP

Using words to show your condolences are more meaningful than a crying emoticon, and a dancing pig.

I think you mean "sympathy." If you wanted to express solidarity with your friend, you'd murder your dad.

But alas sir Perdix, sympathy means you can share a known feeling. To assume OP's father is dead as well is whimsical. Correct word would be "empathy."

To be fair, sympathy applies if OP has felt the loss of a loved one. Haven't most of us felt that pain?

Why don't you just call her? That's a genuine and sweet thing to do considering how big that new is.
