Today, I was on the phone with my mother. She asked me if I was going to make it to Christmas at home. I told her that I would try and make it home since it would be my grandma's last Christmas alive. To my luck, grandma was sitting in the car with my mother, and speaker phone was in use. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML
Today, I went over to my mother-in-law's house to have dinner. I was excited she invited me, since I thought she didn't like me. I ended up hanging her Christmas lights in a snowstorm while they had s'mores by the fire. FML
Today, my phone rang while I was home alone. When I picked up, all I could hear was heavy breathing. Convinced it was one of my friends playing a joke, I said loudly, "Get off the phone, you fucker, and don't call back!" It turned out it was my grandma. She had been having a stroke. FML
Today, my grandma is refusing to talk to me because I didn't answer her phone calls while we were at a parade. I was in it. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML
Today, my mom told me she wouldn't be able to leave my middle-aged brother at home for Christmas in order to meet her first grandchild. FML
Today, my mother was talking about a holiday she went on this time last year. She turned to me to say, "You would've loved it, it's a shame you couldn't come". I was there. It was just the two of us on holiday together. FML
Today, I talked to my mom about hanging out with her. She got out her phone to schedule an appointment. FML
Today, I showed up at my mom’s with homemade soup, since she said she wasn’t hosting Christmas Eve because she had the flu. My entire family was there without me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI. There's some things you should keep to yourself. I doubt your mom appreciated it any more than your grandma did.

She doesnt deserve it, since her mother didnt tell her that her grandma was in the car then she would assume that she was alone, there was no way she knew so she doesnt deserve it

She absolutely deserves it. Why would you say something that rude to your mother about her mother (in-law)? As #7 said some things should be kept to yourself.

Yeah, I can see the mom being upset if they planned on killing her because now the plans are spoiled. Grandma was probably in the car thinking, "Wtf? I'm only 65." Let's just hope granny has a sense of humor come this Christmas.

I am not advocating any over-reaction on anyone's part. What good is family if you can't insult them every now and again? But if you are going to say dumb or rude things about a person, you can't exactly cry if they overhear. Has OP never watched a sitcom?

But if it was common talk, it wouldn't be an FML. At least, that was my way of thinking when I read it.

Maybe OP's grandma is ill and they know she won't make it. I doubt OP said it in a mocking manner, but probably intended it to relay her desire to spend as much time with her as she could.

Not if they act quick. Get to grams before she can change her will. You know what must be done, OP. Move your visit up to Thanksgiving.

Yes... Foe is right. We will have to infiltrate her dreams. I'll gather a team of specialized experts, then we'll sedate your grandmother with classical music, and a comfortable rocking chair. Then, we make our move. *BBAAAMMMM*

If your grandmother is about to die she is probably senile or something and probably way too old to even remember what you said. But you probably pissed off your mom, which you deserve.
