Today, I received a Snapchat of a horse-drawn carriage version of a hearse. I replied, "That's so extra!" because I thought it was finals week at her school. Turns out, she's at her uncle's funeral. He was an officer in the Air Force and there's going to be a 21-gun salute in his honor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my deranged coworker sent me a text message containing a picture that she just took of her uncle. It was at his funeral. FML
Today, my friend had to leave work early for a funeral. As he was on his way out, I wanted to say something. All I could think of was, "Have fun!" FML
Today, my professor's son died in a car accident and class has been cancelled until further notice. All my friends were delighted and cheered about it in front of me. I was dating my professor's son. FML
Today, I got stuck in traffic and angrily honked at the car in front of me. Then I realized it was a hearse. FML
Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML
Today, in exams to become a funeral director, my full name was used as the example of the deceased in a few questions. Actually, 22 questions. 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 had to send a picture of my Grandma at her funeral to my girlfriend, because she thought I was out cheating on her. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend for what I thought would be a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride. We didn't expect the horse to die in the middle of it. FML
Today, it was my first day as a mailman. One of the houses got a bunch of cards, and the owner coincidentally opened the door as I arrived. So I said to the owner that someone in the house must really be popular. He replied, "She died this Tuesday." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Is "that's so extra" a new expression? I'm only 26 and already I feel old with lit, extra, basic, squad, fam, woke, live, and savage.

So, what does "that's so extra" actually mean?

You probably should've clarified to make sure it was just a joke, but if you didn't know he uncle you couldn't have known. I'd probably make the same mistake, sorry OP.

I know what you mean. Some tween told me to "get shook." I had to ask my teenage sister. She told me that the person was basically telling to get "triggered" a.k.a. angry or upset.

Urbandictionary.com is amazing. You can figure it out quickly and not feel old or embarrassed by asking.

That's so extra has been around for a long time. However, so have caissons. When I was in the navy, I was was a casket bearer and we use them for military funerals at Arlington.

Sorry, but I find snapping a funeral to be trashy. Just lost my dad last month (he was a war veteran too), and if anyone had been doing something like that, I would have had a problem with them. I feel for you, OP. Sounds like she posted it only to make people feel bad for her.

Condolences on your loss. I also would not be snapping photos of a hearse like that, much less Snapchatting them without any context. Unless OP's friend told him, how was he to know she was going to her uncle's funeral?

Why is she sending snapchats at a funeral though. Why even use your phone at all

Sounds like she had never seen a horse drawn hearse before.
