Today, I called a friend of mine who was recently in an accident. She told me that the head trauma has caused her to lose all sense of smell and taste. To try and cheer her up, I suggested I take her out to lunch. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my friend's birthday. She's been having problems with most of her friends besides me lately, so I wanted to do something special. I brought her a cake. Me and her were the only ones to have any. It gave us both food poisoning. FML
Today, I shaved my head because I heard that one of my good friends got cancer. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's not bald. FML
Today, I got into an accident and my car was totaled. My friends then took me out to a bar for a drink to make me feel better. It appears that the police officer I'd spoken to had kept my I.D. by mistake and I couldn't get into the bar. FML
Today, my friend broke ties with me after I came out of the hospital from attempted suicide. She was the one who called the police for me to go in there in the first place. FML
Today, I went out to eat with friends. My crush was also at the restaurant with his friends. He smiled at me as I took a mouthful of food, and I choked. The waitress had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on me, while he and his friends fell off their chairs laughing. FML
Today, I went over to my friend’s house while she was sick. In order to show me how bad her sense of smell was, she took a handful of VapoRub and rubbed it all over and inside of my nose then said, “Can you smell that? I can’t.” Yes, I can. But I can also feel my nostrils burning. FML
Today, an old friend that I never really liked invited me to lunch while she was in town. While driving back to her car, I couldn't find my phone, so she offered to call it. She found it under the passenger seat and also saw that when she called, her name came up as "Sabrina-IGNORE". FML
Today, I accidently accepted a lunch invitation from an old friend, because I forgot what they're like. Here comes another hour and a half monologue about how great they are. FML
Today, I got a friend request on Facebook. It's from the person who crashed into my car earlier in the month. It's funny that she doesn't return my calls or messages, but liked my status about the accident. FML
Today, my best friend told me I'm the friend who no one really likes. This was after I had bought her lunch, ice cream, and a ticket to a movie we were going to see that day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

...well that's a little on the heartless side.

OP had good intentions, even though their suggestion was a poor one. Hardly heartless.

I am pretty sure the victim wouldn't have gotten too offended. I mean you still need to have lunch whether you can't taste anything or you can.

Heartless would be playing a game where you have to guess the flavors of jellybeans. OP would win everytime. Muahaha!

6, not to mention the fact that the patient still needs to eat to live as well.

She was just in an accident that took away her sense of smell and taste... If it wasn't an offensive thing it wouldn't be an FML. Also, it'd be similar to taking someone who just lost their legs to a race. Yes, she can still eat but there are better, less insensitive options than going out to eat. You know, things she can actually enjoy that will cheer her up since that was the goal.

I'm deaf(90% loss without hearing aids that is) and I never get offended when my hearing loss gets in the way. if I lost all sense of taste, I'd lose 20 pounds before it came back lol.
ProhibitionRose 14
Were you born deaf? Or did an accident take it from you? As bad as both outcomes are, there's a difference in never being able to hear and it suddenly going away.

Not really heartless. Tasteless on the other hand.

32- Seriously? Do you know what Google is? Try looking up the term
zombicidal 11
maybe 32 is stupid enough to think the cinema is some new restaurant
CryMoreFMLs 15
Judging from 32's picture, it's safe to assume he's a little on the "handicapped" side, so please, don't be too harsh on the lil' fella...
VasilisaUzhasnaj 29
Am I the only one disturbed by the fact that we apparently live in an era in which the 'cinema' is an obsolete word no one knows the meaning to? Comes from the world of the pre-2010's.
guckylynn 19
Plenty of people know what cinema means...
happyhak 5
#77, of course people know what a cinema is. Morons like #32 do not represent the whole population.
StopDropNRoll 11
I think 32 was just thread stealing and he was only pointing out the obvious in OP's fml. Idk how ppl are getting he doesn't know what cinema is?
iam_yummylicious 12
I still use the term cinema. Often when wanting to go I ask "Would you like to see a film at the cinema?". :S!
VasilisaUzhasnaj 29
Thus far, I've encountered enough people that don't know simple words and ideas such as that. Hence the backing for my statement

I've meet a person who believe in vampires. Doesn't mean suddenly everyone does.

#94 do you also wear a tophat and have a handlebar moustache?

Just sayin, but most people say theatre though (coming from a californian)
iam_yummylicious 12
@114 - No, but I also refer to my parents as "mother" and "father". In addition to this know proper table settings: -The salad fork [left] and dinner fork [right] are placed to the left of the plate. -The napkin goes to the left of these forks. -The dinner knife, teaspoon, and soup spoon are placed to the right of the plate. -The dessert spoon and dessert fork go above the dinner plate. The dessert spoon is points to the left and the dessert fork points to the right. -To the left of the dessert cutlery and above the forks (cater-corner to the plate) sits the butter dish and butter knife. -To the right of the dessert cutlery and and above the spoons/knife (cater-corner to the plate) are where the drinkware are placed diagonally. -On the plate sits a salad plate and/or soup bowl.

You are all pathetic excuses for grammar nazis. Grammar Hitler would be ashamed.
lionheart822 13
4's blunder isn't even grammatical error. His "wont" is different issue however, that is a true grammatical error and yet no one has seemed to notice. =P
lionheart822 13
Haha sorry, I had to type out that comment twice since the first time a got a call and it canceled the comment. But you got me, congratulations have a cookie.

JMJ! For the love of all that is holy! *your = possessive. *you're = you are. If you cannot distinguish between the two please just always type out "you are". The more you know... *shooting star*

Idk if her friend felt that way though :/ but I guess a mistake is a mistake.

JMJ?! jumanji? Huh

I think I prefer Jumanji.

There's more than food and beverages in an invitation for lunch. She still can enjoy a good place, good company and to feel apreciated.

Yeah, but OP wasn't acting very sensable.
nephilim241 19
I'm sure she'd still appreciate the company.. Doesn't mean she won't be hungry either

It's the thought that matters!

You could make her the dinner, she wouldn't notice if it tasted ad bad as the food I cook.. If you're just as bad ad me in the kitchen - Just make sure it looks good(:
lionheart822 13
You should've asked her out for dinner, much tastier and even smells good too.
