Today, I ran into an old friend. I asked her how she was doing, then asked, "And your mum?" Just as the words escaped my lips, I remembered her mum died a few years ago. Trying to save face, I messed up again and blurted, "She still in the same graveyard?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ran into an old friend, and she asked me how I was doing. I replied, "Still alive!" like I always do. I forgot both of her parents recently passed away. FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." 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 ran into an old friend for whom I used to have feelings. I hadn't seen her in years, so I thought it would be funny if I went up to her and said, "Hey, you look familiar, do I know you?" She thought I had really forgotten her and burst into tears. FML
Today, I was saying goodbye to a friend after a long day out. I went for a hug, and as I pulled away, I kissed her on the cheek for some reason. Realising it was an awkward mistake, I pulled back even more and said, "Sorry, I thought you were my mum." She looked at me confused, and we both stood there in complete silence for what felt like hours. FML
Today, I was having coffee with an old friend I hadn't seen since university. I asked about her husband; she replied, "He died" and walked off. I was confused, so I stood up and took off after her. She then reminded me that I was at his funeral, and then slapped me in the face. FML
Today, I was pestering a co-worker, so she jokingly stated "I'll bury you!" and I replied "I'll bury your mom!". Her moms funeral was last week. FML
Today, an old friend of my mom's yelled at me for "ignoring" her. I wasn't responding because she was getting my name wrong, so I assumed she was referring to someone else. FML
Today, I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in a while. I swear I couldn't help it when the words "Wow, I bet you really regret that haircut." came out of my mouth. FML
Today, at work, I asked a lady how she was doing. When she replied, I didn't understand her, and instead of asking her what she'd said, I just replied with, "Oh, that's good." What she'd said that I didn't understand was that her husband had just died. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

OP dont worry too much about it, my mum passed away a few years ago and this situation has happend to me, granted it wasnt as awkward but when someone asked me I understood that it was a momentary slip of their tongue, I hope your friend understands that and doesnt get upset or hurt by it.

Sunglasses are definitely overrated. And Jake, keep telling those idiots to shut up. It's makes a lot more people's jobs a lot easier.

Rallets, I haven't seen you for quite some time. When did they let you out of jail? I had no clue that a ********** conviction would only cost you a month or two. I guess that having such a small penis helped because penetration was never proven. They'll get you one of these days, it's only a matter of time.
rallets 23
lol youre trying too hard nowadays bro, what happened? :/

Not sure who originally came up with the sunglasses joke but I think it's funny if it's done right. Does everyone get the CSI Miami reference? David Caruso is such a tool! He opens EVERY episode with that move. A two part cheesy one liner with the dramatic pause and the *puts on sunglasses* right in the middle.
kareltje 17
That was fun the first couple of times around. After that it just got annoying. I've seen better ones on here than I've seen him do in the past 6 seasons. And I heard Caruso's a serious anal pain in the ass (yeah, I wrote anal pain in the ass on purpose, he's THAT bad).

Why are u so annoying..
punkin_26 16
You're right 109. I've seen much better ones too. I've heard the same thing about him being difficult to deal with hence the 'tool' comment. What cracks me up the most about these comments is the reaction. You all fall for it every time.

I don't know, 57. Tell us how they did it. Seems like you're on the same boat.
ntherewas1 11
I know. I think most people would have just said 'oh my god I'm so sorry...etc' not try and make a joke out of it! There's a time and place for humour to defuse tension and this my dear was not it.

Well that's awkward..

I'll be the finisher. 5- "You're" grammatically incorrect. P.S. Periods are your friends.

except when girls are on them
chili10 18
You know, i think they're doing this on purpose now. I have yet to read one comment calling somebody a dumbass using the correct form of "you're". A new form of trolling? Or am I giving them too much credit?
thisisafunnyname 12
I dont think there doing it on purpose their probably just dum hippocrates
