Today, I was at a Remembrance Day service when an old widow told me I had my "grandad's" medals on the wrong side of my coat. I told her that I was an Afghanistan veteran and that they were mine. She then berated me in front of the WHOLE service for "lying". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a veterans' reunion party with my grandpa. While there, a guy started yelling at me for having an unapproved haircut. It was my grandpa's old drill sergeant, and he thought I was in the army too. Everyone just smirked as he forced me to drop and do push-ups. FML
Today, I found out my extremely anti-war relatives hate me because they think I served in the Army, after hearing I was "a vet". I'm a veterinarian. FML
Today, I was working at a retirement center, when an old woman came to me and asked if I would like her old clothes. I politely said, "I'm sorry, but I'm a guy." She then said, "You could have just said no, instead of rudely lying to me." FML
Today, a fake soldier tried to chat me up at a bar. I know he was fake because one of his medals is only given posthumously to soldiers who died in combat, like my own dad, yet this creep was claiming he earned it himself. When I confronted him, he busted out my front teeth before running away. FML
Today, I was pretending to be a veteran for the US Navy at a local outlet, because I was desperate for cheap stuff. All was going well, until an actual vet pointed out that the ship I had on my naval hat was a fictitious one. Shit. FML
Today, while making small talk with a veteran, I made the mistake of using the phrase "Cost an arm and a leg". He was a double amputee. FML
Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML
Today, I, a 20-year-old man, was ridiculed and called "Granny" for having a coin purse. Said coin purse actually belonged to my late grandma, and she gifted it to me last year when she realized she was going to die soon. She really meant well and I appreciate it, but I wasn't ready for judgmental strangers. FML
Today, I, a retired U.S. Army soldier, was shouted down and called a liberal snowflake and even accused of stolen valor. Why? I admitted that I absolutely hate Trump. FML
Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

@stolentrix Canada has an army?

Not only does Canada have an army, we also have a navy and an air force. Google "Vimy Ridge" for some information on what Canadians did to aid in the creation of Remembrance day. My grandfather (Canadian) fought in WWII in the air force and there are Canadians over in the middle east right now. But I do suppose your country fought for your right to be ignorant if you choose.

Canada lost over 60,000 men in WWI. Yes, it has an army. It just doesn't cause news worthy scenes.

#33, don't forget WWI and the Korean War, and the Cold War/nuclear arms race. #28, the Canadian army has a long history in fighting in major wars and going on peacekeeping missions. Just because we don't invade other countries to steal their oil and dispose of their leaders doesn't mean we don't have an army.

Way I understand it, Canada has one of the most advanced armed forces in the world. I don't know if it's true, but I believe it. Remember Katrina? Canadian rescue workers were there before American!

that's what a Canadian said, eh? whatcha gonna do? send those guys on horses after me? yeah, Americans are ALL ignorant. did Albert Einstein go to Canada when he fled the Nazis? NO Did Iran kidnap Canadians and kill them in the streets for sport? NO Does Canada have anything comparable to our democratic leadership? NO Are you smart? NO and you can't troll me, eh?

what? wrong thing there PAL...Canadians just sat back, ate seal and said "poor Americans eh?"
Brendan3693 0
78 no you just sit on your moronic arses, say "eh were helping the Americans fight al qaeda eh?" and do nothing. we don't steal oil, at least not as a motivation to invade countries. if we had seals here would you invade us? at least we can fight, you sissies

Brendan3693, **** you. you're a ******* ******, Canada has one of the worlds GREATEST armies. just because we don't invade countries for ***** and gigs and start wars doesnt mean we dont have a good military. we're peacekeepers, we don't just show up in places like Iraq or Iran and start a war for no reason. we are sent to places in a non-combat role.

FYL? More like FHL. Hopefully most people there were a lot less senile than she was, and she must have ended up getting the dirty looks by disrespecting a veteran on this day.

So? There are probably enough people in the room who knew the old bag was full of crap. Besides that, I'd suspect that plenty of people in the room were pissed that she dishonored the services by her little tirade. Be nice and take it like a man.

wow wouldn't worry about it the lady was prob senile thanks for serving

Take no notice of it. If she wants to be a total bitch, let her do that, she has no proof to make a valid accusation that you were lying. Also, most of the congregation probably disliked her too, due to her ruining the silence or lectures due to her bitchy immaturity. At the end of the day, there is no need to even explain this to anyone: she ruined the ceremony with futile blabbering, and accused you without evidence.

What a bitch. Well, even if she wants to be disrespectful to you, I thank you for your services. I love the US military. Thank you so much for everything you've done. Happy veterans day!
