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?

With friends like you, who needs enemas?

You deserve it for not checking the descriptions first, but it was just an unfortunate coincidence. If she was crying it obviously means she's still having troubles coping with his death (and yes people, I do know it'll take her more than a few weeks to get over it, though she probably won't get completely over it...anyway) ... and you should just be a good friend and tell her if she ever needs to talk you'll willing to listen. I think it might've turned out ok though, it's healthy to cry over the loss of someone and it's natural, so I don't see why people are slagging you off so hard. It's almost as if they've never made a mistake. Sheesh.

In a rush!? WTH? That's not cool. You should've picked something happy like Beauty and the Beast or something happier and flamboyant.

I'm with everyone who thinks you should have picked your dumb ass up off the sofa to turn the movie off when it became apparent that it was ridiculously inappropriate. I've got this comedy image in my mind of the OP throwing back popcorn by the fistful beside their wailing recenly bereaved friend and absently passing tissues across to her without taking their eyes off the movie. Pillock.

The picture on the front & the title didn't give it away? Why wouldn't you rent a comedy like step brothers or role models rather than some dramatic flick anyways, how's drama going to cheer someone up?

You're a bitch. How could you not read the films if you didn't know what it was. FHL for having a crappy friend.
