Today, I rented some movies in attempts to cheer up my best friend. Her husband just died a few weeks ago in a helicopter accident. I was in a rush and didn't read the descriptions of the two films, one was about a plane crash where all the passengers died. She cried through the entire movie. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to watch a movie I hadn't seen before to bring my spirits up, as I've been feeling down lately. How did the movie end? Everybody died. FML
Today, I watched Cast Away with my girlfriend after not seeing it for a year. I forgot how sad it was when Wilson "dies" at the end. I cried. My girlfriend told me to man up. FML
Today, I was at a party and saw an old friend from college. I went up to her asking how she was and how her family was. She went on to tell me that her husband left her a month ago and started crying. I told her that he was an ass anyway and that she didn't need him. Turns out he died. FML
Today, I thought my coworker had confided to me that a close friend had died too soon, but it turns out she'd just ruined an expensive pan. We talked for 10 minutes and she cried. FML
Today, after I invited my friend to a movie and she cancelled on me because she had to study, I obviously agreed and cancelled our tickets, I was scrolling through Instagram stories and came across hers, and saw she was with one of her friends in that same movie theater. FML
Today, the girl I like came over to my house to watch a movie. We had seen pretty much every movie that I suggested, so we ended up watching The Lion King. I forgot how sad that movie is, because once Mufasa died I started bawling my eyes out. FML
Today, trying to be romantic, I invited my girlfriend over to watch a movie. I said she could pick one up on the way, and I'd pay for it later. I ended up having to suffer through some "movie" that involved nothing but Nicolas Cage gurning like a stroke victim between crappy fight scenes. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a scary movie, hoping I could comfort her at a scary part. Instead when a scary part came on, she reacted by throwing up all over my lap and the person in front of us. FML
Today, my best friend died in a car accident. I'm currently on a cruise with my family and my parents refuse to pay for me to go home early, which means I'm likely going to miss the funeral. FML
Today, my best friend called me to cancel our mall plans. I could hear that she was watching a movie in the background. I then called my boyfriend to see if he was busy, and I could hear the same movie in the background. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you inconsiderate person. you should have chosen something you had already seen that you thought could cheer her up instead of a random movie.

I hope you feel guiltier than ****. YDI. Why wouldn't you read the descriptions?!?!?! You were in a rush? Really? To buy movies? I suggest you jump off a cliff.

And you didn't take the movie out... why? WTF dude? Seriously. You should have just rented a couple of comedies that EVERYONE knows is going to be funny, and went from there... DAMN you weren't thinking...

Never, ever, ever play defense. It just makes you into an insincere bastard. Apologize, but don't distract. Grieving is a weird yo-yo process of ignoring the pain and confronting the pain in an alternating fashion. You have to take it in little pieces to be able to get through it, but you can't ignore it forever or it screws you up in weird ways. You've accidentally forced her to deal with it. Apologize, hold her close, and help her deal with it. DO NOT try to change the subject or act like it didn't happen. It DID happen, and it's your fault, so you'd better bare-face it. Your friend has enough to deal with without having to worry about your embarrassment. Offer to go get a different movie and tell her she should pick it this time, on your dime. And buy her some take-out. (I think the other posters are a bit... hyperbolic. "Jump off a cliff?" Give me a break.)
