Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I ran into an old friend. I asked her how she was doing, then asked, "And your mum?" Just as the words escaped my lips, I remembered her mum died a few years ago. Trying to save face, I messed up again and blurted, "She still in the same graveyard?" FML
Today, I ran into an old friend, and she asked me how I was doing. I replied, "Still alive!" like I always do. I forgot both of her parents recently passed away. FML
Today, I was at a party and saw an old friend from college. I went up to her asking how she was and how her family was. She went on to tell me that her husband left her a month ago and started crying. I told her that he was an ass anyway and that she didn't need him. Turns out he died. FML
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML
Today, I ran into a childhood friend for the first time in years. It turned out her mother died of COVID a few days ago. It was heartbreaking to see her close to tears all the time we talked, but due to distancing I couldn't even hug her to make her feel better. FML
Today, I was having coffee with an old friend I hadn't seen since university. I asked about her husband; she replied, "He died" and walked off. I was confused, so I stood up and took off after her. She then reminded me that I was at his funeral, and then slapped me in the face. FML
Today, I texted my sister to ask her if she was OK after finding out that one of her oldest friends had died. She didn’t know. FML
Today, at work, I misheard a customer telling me a story. To be polite, I did a slight laugh and nodded my head. She actually told me her mum had died. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML
Today, I saw an old friend while out and about. Since I don't leave the house very often, my friend was surprised to see me in person. He jokingly asked if someone was dying, and I cried in response. I was in fact going to the hospital to say goodbye to my grandma. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hahahaha love your picture

Maybe she's been to a bunch of funerals
iamabamf 17
That's very possible, but I just think that I would remember whether or not I had attended an old friend's mother's funeral before I asked about how she was doing. Maybe that's just me.
biggestfan23 11
I would most likely go with the point that she's an inconsiderate bitch. There's no way you can forget something like that unless she has a memory issue
ShroomsOnAcid 17
There's a third option, 25. The question might have just been due to general inattentiveness to the conversation, or a so called blonde moment. It happens to all of us in one way or another. It doesn't necessarily mean the event is gone from OP's memory.
DooleyFTW 17
Well it could be one of those general things a person is used to asking a lot of people. Like me asking a friend what classes he takes when I'm in three classes with him, it's not that I forgot he was in those classes the question just slipped out and left me looking like an idiot. That's what I believe may have happened to OP, although in a more serious way admittedly!

The only way you could forget something like that, is if you were in Vegas, because everything stays in Vegas, except herpes.

#59 Funny how your name is "death" in French with that particular comment...
Blackmail111 9
I'm pretty sure it's "Morte" and it's Spanish for death...
Blackmail111 9
Unless the word "Mort" is French for death. I was never good in French.
raphanne_fml 33
#83 I think Spanish for "death" is "muerte". "Morte" is Italian for death, or French for "dead" at the feminine. But "mort" is French for "death"... A bit confusing I know! :) PS: I'm French.

"I'm actually a zombie..."
crimsonprodigy 15
So he's immortal pretty much. Ask if he's willing to make you one and the daily diet. Wouldn't wanna eat any relatives. I would 100% do that :)

129, i assume he intended to type that. Seeing as the other person would be interrupting him before he finished the question.

No 36 doesn't deserve it because she isn't even the one who posted this

I think it's time you stopped any bad habit in which you may be partaking. Your paralyzed brain cells just gave you a wake up call.

Were you drunk or something?
cutielilangel 8
You actually don't need to be drunk for something like this to happen.
iloveweed69 7
Could be possible though.
