Today, I walked past a church with a bunch of people standing outside waiting for the bride and groom to walk out. When the church doors opened, I yelled congratulations as loud as I could. It was a funeral. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML
Today, at my job as a funeral director, I fell ass over heels into the grave in front of a hundred mourners and an unamused Catholic priest. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me during a funeral. FML
Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML
Today, I serve at church and had a funeral. As I greeted the family, someone asked how I was doing. Without thought, I responded, "Good to be alive." FML
Today, I joined the wrong funeral procession, because I thought everyone gathering outside was there for my uncle, so I followed them into the chapel and even hugged two strangers. I didn't realize my mistake until someone started talking about a man I'd never heard of. I had to quietly sneak out in the middle of the service. FML
Today, I attended the wrong funeral. I spent twenty minutes trying to hide and walk away without being too conspicuous. FML
Today, my friends and I were goofing off playing tag behind the local church, when I heard a banshee-like wail behind me. Assuming it was one of my friends, I wailed right back and ran. Turned out there was actually a funeral going on, and the wail was from one of the bereaved. FML
Today, I was walking through the park when I saw a guy getting down on one knee to propose. As I passed by, I gave a big thumbs up and loudly said, "You got this!" He was actually tying his shoe. No one else was actually even there with him. FML
Today, while driving in a funeral procession I was distracted, missed my turn and yelled "God dammit!" I'm the funeral director; the Priest was in the car with me as I led the funeral the wrong way. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Agree with #14. Thought no one posted about the hearse/limo until I did a find feature.... Funeral: Hearse out front for the casket Wedding: Limo out front with "Just Married" in the back window If you were at the front of the church and didn't see the car that was parked at the end of the walkway you deserve this entirely. Plus why the hell would you be the ass and make a comment at a wedding/funeral of someone you don't even know. YDI in so many ways. Common sense man.

Congratulations!

your a douche seriously, if at my wedding a stranger yelled "congratulations!", I would be annoyed. Having them say something nice isn't the problem, but yelling it and trying to become the center of attention at an event you have no right being a part of at all.... douche

hahah #22 guys stop being so god damn rude he was just trying to be nice and congratulate a new married couple. just because you don't have a heart doesn't mean you need to be rude to people that do.

I'm sure he meant well, but people take weddings seriously. Being yelled congratulations by a stranger might sound nice, but it could still be kind of creepy. Honestly even if people weren't dressed all in black there was probably a different atmosphere outside of that funeral than you would expect at a wedding. People aren't normally excited.

"Today, after my grandmother's funeral, some asswipe yelled congratulations. FML." You'd think that the hearse is a big heads up, though.
