Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my boyfriend's grandfather's funeral and visitation. These things make me nervous so I, not thinking, made comments that included the words "killing", "dying" and "death". I'm a rubbish support system. FML
Today, my boyfriend has been in the hospital since Saturday and I don't know when he'll be home, the anniversary of my favorite grandma's death is coming up, and it's the week before my period. My emotions are so out of whack that even I'm sick of myself. FML
Today, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me at my grandma's funeral. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he couldn't spend the day with me as he had his grandmother's funeral. Lonely, I went shopping and I bumped into his mum having lunch with his 'dead' grandma. FML
Today, my boyfriend shared with me his anxiety about death, so I shared with him one of my ridiculously irrational fears. He thought I was making fun of him and now won't talk to me. FML
Today, I was at my grandma's funeral. While giving the eulogy, I accidentally mixed up "You will be missed" and "You won't be forgotten" and instead said "You won't be missed." FML
Today, I work at a hospice center. At 3AM, a call just went out to a man's family to come because he was dying. I didn't realize that this man was my old friend's grandpa. When I saw her, I smiled really big and said, "Hey! Great to see you!" Her grandpa was ACTIVELY DYING. Stupid stupid stupid. FML
Today, I went to a family funeral. Talking to my grandfather, trying to chitchat, he said, "You're gaining weight, aren't you?" FML
Today, my boyfriend said he couldn't come to my grandfather's funeral because he was at his cottage and couldn't make it. Later that day, when driving home from the graveyard I saw him walking down the street, with another girl. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sometimes it's better not to say anything. Perhaps you should have been a shoulder to cry on instead of a failed Hallmark sympathy card.

When your nervous anything can come out of your mouth.

Exactly. See, I'm a little on edge now, and- OH DEAR LORD I JUST PUKED UP A LIVE CHICKEN.

I was referring to anything coming out of your mouth when you're nervous, but I guess that doesn't include poultry. What about mythological- nah, forget it.

Geez, Op, I feel for you, but you are in a bad way. I do understand. Here's what you must do: 1. Learn a few key phrases: "I'm so sorry for your loss." "this must be so hard for you." "if there's anything I can do just say it." 2. Use the above phrases liberally. Say NOTHING else. 3. To ensure you say nothing else, focus on getting others to talk. Ask your BF (or any of the family) to tell you more about the deceased. "What was he like?" "what do you remember best about him?" "I wish I had known him better, tell me about him." That's all! Then just sit and say nothing the rest of the time. Also practice the "wistful and sympathetic half smile" be neither too solemn nor too bright. You will be wonderfully supportive! And don't worry about being honest or sincere. This is a time when a little acting and going through the motions is just right. It's not about you- so no one cares how you really feel.

^ For some reason, I find that song dirty. Or I'm dirty. Either which way, at this point in time I'm pretty certain 24/7 that this sounds wrong.

It's actually, "do stuff together." Not to sound like a badarse, but I have the Spongebob Squarepants CD.

It isn't your fault don't worry about it. Everyone gets nervous
22cute 17
Yeah, no one really knows how to handle death. It makes everyone awkward. That's why a good formula is called for. (see my earlier comment @#2)

That must have been killing him.

Someone needs to learn what the word "decorum" means.
bananagrams 9
I have a dictionary if you want to borrow it
awagh666 14
#8- You can't spell decorum without rum.
calilovesneb 12
Aren't you annoying...
SkoomaKi 28
Best to keep to the drinks and condiments. I bet you got death stares from everyone in the place.

Some people just don't react well in these situations. I'm always nervous at funerals.
