Today, I was at my friend's house and accidentally blew out a candle that was supposed to be lit for seven days straight. It was in honor of her grandmother who had recently died. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was supposed to light candles at my aunt's wedding. I accidentally lit the groom on fire. FML
Today, my family was celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday. I pulled a little prank and got candles that keep relighting. After a few blows, my grandma fainted. FML
Today, I found a box of birthday candles sitting on the coffee table. Bored, I lit one, and after a minute I threw it away and sat back down on the couch. I started looking at the box and noticed that it said "Magic Re-Lighting Candles" at the exact moment that my trash can burst into flames. FML
Today, I was sitting next to my friend as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. Some asshole got the bright idea to shove his face in the cake, but they missed and pushed me in instead. The candles were still lit. My hair caught fire. FML
Today, my mom sent me beautiful candlesticks along with some half burned candles. I thanked her. She told me the candlesticks were a wedding gift to my grandmother 85 years ago. Then she said the candles were used at my grandma's wedding. I had already lit them. FML
Today, I was showing my grandson how to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. I got a little too close and set my hair on fire. The candles remained lit but my grandson was too terrified to go near them after the whole ordeal. FML
Today, at a candlelit dinner, I accidentally set my dad's leg on fire. FML
Today, I was having trouble blowing out the last of the several candles on my bedside table. Exasperated, I blew as hard as I could, which sent hot wax from the other candles shooting into the air, all over my face and into my eyes. FML
Today, my mom lit a candle in our living room, telling the family how much she loved it. She then went on the tell us that my dad got it for her and it must have been some cheap candle. I bought the candle as a gift for her on her birthday. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. FML

Aw.. well, as long as it was accidental and you aren't an evil bitch running around blowing out candles in honour of your friends' dead relatives. Still though, that's unfortunate. Sorry.

How do you accidentally blow out a candle? Did s/he sneeze on it and accidentally put it out? There isn't any way to accidentally blow something. You either did or you didn't. I think OP did what most jerks do when they see candles lit in people's houses, blow it out and make it seem like it went out on it's own just to get a stupid laugh.

Maybe the OP thought they had accidentally left a lit candle out and thought it was a fire hazard... In any case, it was still an accident because the OP wouldn't have blown out the candle if s/he knew that it was lit in honor of the dead grandmother.

Wow.... for the last time.. Tweetbaby, the OP obviously did it but the OP didn't blow out the candle with an intention of being a dumbass or a bitch. The OP most likely thought the candle was lit because someone forgot to blow it out and it was a fire hazard, like saks said. The people who keep saying the OP either did it on purpose or not have such limited insight.

They blew it out. You can't accidentally walk up to a candle and blow it out They made a mistake they should just own it.

******* dumbasses like you, marpay, piss me off saying how the OP did it with the intention of being a douchebag. An accident is something that is done without intention. If the OP knew the candle was a symbol for the dead grandmother, the OP would obviously have not have blown out the candle and there would not have been a FML.

they might've... I'm assuming that at least the friend is Jewish seeing as it is the Jewish custom to light a candle for the 7 days immediately following the passing of an immediate relative... and during those seven days there are often close friends or other relatives looking after the house.... so you never know!!

Damn I don't even know what to say about that......

Accidentally? Also, I've never seen a candle that wouldn't be a puddle of wax after 2 days of burning, how was this one going to last for 7?

You can put out a candle by running past it or by opening a window, OP didn't necessarily do it on purpose.. A large yankee candle will last 6.5 days continuously. OP also said 7 DAYS like daylight hours, it might be put out at night..

This actually sounds like something from Hindu tradition. The "candle" might be a little bowl with mustard/some other kind of oil in it, with a piece of cotton lit up. In this case they just need to keep refilling the oil to keep it burning. We do it for many occasions and rituals.

There are special candles for that, used by Jews on memorial days. Look up memorial candle Judaism on Google images.
