Today, I updated my Facebook status to "It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood." My cousin, seeing the status, failed to pick up on the sarcastic humor. She called all my family members and tell them that I was pregnant. Including my husband in Iraq. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I found out my wife is pregnant. She hadn't even called me; I saw the news on my Facebook news feed. FML
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant and sent a picture of the positive test to my boyfriend. Before I got a text back from him, I saw his newly updated Facebook status, which read, "This has got to be the most depressing day of my life." FML
Today, I found out that my husband proposed to his girlfriend, and that her mom had posted it on Facebook. FML
Today, a friend posted the Facebook status "Ahhh... relief." Trying to be funny, I replied "Why? Did you just poop?" A few hours later, I read her previous posts and found out her dad's in the hospital having heart surgery. Now everyone thinks I'm a heartless dick. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she's pregnant and I did not take it well. She had planned to record my happy reaction for Facebook; instead she got video of me bursting into tears, and trying to talk her into an emergency abortion. She sent it to my parents to punish me. FML
Today, my parents posted on Facebook that they were excited that my sister was pregnant and couldn't wait to be grandparents. Last week I told them that I, a 33-year-old happily married woman, was pregnant and they told me I was ruining my life and encouraged me to have an abortion. FML
Today, my attention-seeking sister-in-law came to my 20 week ultrasound and afterward, without my knowledge, took it upon herself to announce the gender to Facebook and call the entire family, telling them "we're having a boy" nullifying any need for the announcement I had spent 4 weeks planning. FML
Today, as a joke, I put a picture of a sonogram on my girlfriend's Facebook. Now her entire family hates me, and her mother has started the two-hour drive to come pull her out of college. Whoops. FML
Today, I guess I accidentally left Facebook open on my work computer while I went to the bathroom, because my boss updated my status to "Unemployed." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI, you shouldn't have put that onto facebook if you didn't want people to think you're pregnant. So it is YOUR fault for everyone thinking you're a knocked up retard.

How sad is it that so many people did NOT get that joke? OP, FYL for having a STUPID cousin...who, it sounds like, probably has a thing for your husband. That, or something against you! If I were you, Id call everyone that she called, tell THEM the situation and then you can all have a laugh at how dumb your cousin is. Also, is anyone else thrown off by the fact that her cousin CALLED her husband in Iraq....that's basically impossible.

I agree. It's pretty pathetic, I got it instantly and thought the cousin was an idiot. Then I came on here and realized theres are whole group of idiots. I'm australian and I got it. FallofYLs

Actually, she probably DID pick up on your sarcastic humour. If you're going to put a joke like that in your STATUS, what do you expect will happen? Joke or not, one would expect that means that you got yourself knocked up. There's not much to guess about intent there, genius. Derp.

Yeah, really. It sounds like an observation you made because of an unplanned pregnancy and an encounter with Planned Parenthood.

Rule #1: Don't add family members. You don't deserve it thought. Your cousin sounds like someone who likes to play mind games.
