Today, I received a friend request on Facebook. I didn't know her, but she was cute, so I accepted the request. After looking at her pictures, I sent her a message saying "What's up cutie, do I know you?". She responded "Yes, I'm your cousin". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sent a Facebook friend request to my ex. This afternoon I notice that they had accepted, and had left a message for me in my inbox. Asking how they knew me. FML
Today, I saw an adorable girl at the bar and I went to talk to her. I decided to use my cheesiest pick up line to make her laugh. After I said it, she knew who I was. It was my cousin I hadn't seen in 8 years. FML
Today, I received a friend request on Facebook from a girl I've had a crush on for a while. As I was about to accept it, it vanished. She explained later that she clicked on my name by accident, and didn't actually want to be friends at all. FML
Today, I found an old friend of mine on Facebook. After adding her, I suggested friends for her. She ended up adding every single one I added, but not me. I later saw her ask one of those friends who the hell I was and how I knew all of them. We used to eat lunch together everyday. FML
Today, I found out the girl I hit on at the store I work at is my second cousin. FML
Today, I got my first Facebook friend request in 4 months. I also got a message in my inbox. The message said: "Sorry, I thought you were someone else. Just ignore my friend request." FML
Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend what she loves the most about me. She said it's the fact that I look like her cousin. FML
Today, while over at a friend's house, I saw a framed picture of a young African boy on her fridge. I asked, "Oh, is this one of those kids you adopt from third world countries? My grandma does that too." She responded, "What do you mean? That's my cousin." FML
Today, I checked Facebook, only to find out that my close cousin is now married. When I looked at the pictures, I saw that my whole family was there - including my sister, mother and father. I was the only one who wasn't invited. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I can see how this could happen. I have a large extended family, with a ton of cousins I've never met, and a few of them have added me on Facebook. Although calling her "cutie" is definitely a bit of a facepalm moment.

yeah... calling her cutie really is not that bad. If it had been "sexy" or anything like that... then ok. You can totally save face with "cutie"

20 - "You're looking nice today," or "I like your hair" is perfectly fine, but calling a cousin "cutie" is just strage.

88- He didn't know they were cousins. If he knew, of course this would be horridly wrong, but he didn't. It could be a case where she's a step-cousin (and the two families only recently got married). Or, she could be a cousin that's only met him once, in early childhood.

I don't see the problem. So you think your cousin has good looks, it's not like you were unaware of who she was long enough to get any serious feelings. Though you probably should have recognised your cousin, though I could understand if you haven't seen each other for a long while for various reasons or what not.

You shouldn't have to use the scientific method to figure she totally took it the wrong way. That's what's wrong. Haha.
Cinn_fml 23
Chaith, well, that's the thing, he did ask if they knew each other, so it's not like he tried to chat her up knowing they were cousins. Also, if she's getting offended that he didn't remember her, then I'm sure the OP would be able to explain why he'd forgotten and all would be well again.
