Today, a resident went missing at our nursing home. When I found him, a man in a blue shirt and red pants, he started yelling at me in confusion. I just thought it was his alzheimers. When I brought him to my administrator, I was told the missing resident was wearing a red shirt and blue pants. Wrong guy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after a long day at work, I fell asleep in my living room. When I woke up, I saw a man leaving my bedroom wearing my pajamas, and I started screaming as he casually left. The cops came and apparently he's mentally ill. He truly believed it was his house. FML
Today, I started a new job as a receptionist at a nursing home. When two men came in saying, "We're here for Mr. Christensen," I paged him to come to the front desk. Apparently, these men had come from the funeral home to pick up Mr. Christensen's body. I was completely unaware that anyone had died. FML
Today, I did my laundry at a laundromat. When I came back to get my clothes, I found an elderly man wearing my favorite Joy Division t-shirt, and he refused to give it back because he said it was his. I spent a few minutes arguing with him, before realizing I had grabbed someone else's clothes too. FML
Today, I came home at noon from a long night out. I was surprised to see a woman I didn't recognize standing in my living room in a brown dress and heels. As I walked up to the door and knocked to be let in, the woman whipped around and I figured out who it was. My dad. FML
Today, a staff member entered my room, thinking it was empty. I was naked. This is the second time something like this has happened in the week I have lived here. FML
Today, an elderly man came into my place of work wearing a nice suit. I commented, saying said he looked nice and asked what the special occasion was. He was going to a funeral. FML
Today, I went out to a restaurant to meet a girl that I met online. When I arrived, I texted her and she said she was wearing a blue shirt. The only person that was wearing anything blue was a fat man smiling in the corner. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job at a nursing home. Not only were we short staffed, two residents passed away, and I got beaten up by an old man. FML
Today, I heard that one of our customers had passed away. Saddened, I told everyone who came into our shop about his death. Understandably, some customers got very upset and one even fainted. Suddenly, the "dead" man walked into the shop. Turns out I got the name wrong. FML
Today, I made a nursing home resident laugh so hard that he had a heart attack. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Methinks he's not the one who has alzheimer's.

I would assume he had Alzheimer's too if he was wearing red pants...

That's what I was thinking too. While it may be a large nursing home, it still seems pretty odd to me that a nursing home would send out somebody who wouldn't recognize the resident to go find him when he went missing. Seriously, "old man in red shirt and blue pants" isn't very much to go by when you're trying to find someone you've never seen before.

i work in a nursing home and if an elopement risk goes missing, they send all extra staff (kitchen, laundry, house-cleaning, receptionists, CNAs, etc) to search the premises. All we have to go on for the elopement risks are a black and white picture posted in the offices. If a non-elopement risk goes missing, there is nothing to go by besides what we are told.

i volunteered at a nursing home for a while, and it was huge. employees only knew residents from their assigned residences. i was constantly having problems the OP's bc you couldn't tell which residents were completely with it. and sometimes they'd go from cogent to confused in a matter of seconds.

Hopefully the faux-patient had a good sense of humour. In fact, he should thank you, if he was any sort of a good-natured guy he would have got both a good laugh and a good story out of this incident. One doesn't get abducted every day.
