Today, my brother called me up. He said he needed to talk to me. Whenever someone says that, I naturally I get nervous. He said, "I gave one of my friends your number." I was shocked and asked why. "Your life makes me sad." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call from my brother-in-law's doctor. Apparently he's made threats and fantasizes about killing me. "Notifying you is the protocol for things like this" he said, and ended the conversation with, "have a nice day." FML
Today, when I was talking to my younger brother, he suddenly said "Oh, I was supposed to tell you that there's this girl who has a huge crush on you!" I asked who and he answered, "I totally forgot her name, that was like 2 months ago." FML
Today, my younger brother got in engaged. When we had a conversation about the wedding, he asked why the hell would I be involved with any of it! He used to be my best friend. I don’t know what happened. FML
Today, I was told I have a brother… By a stranger in a parking lot, while leaving my grandfather's wake. FML
Today, I received a random phone call from an unknown number. Three times. After the third time, the person started yelling at me viciously. Then I suddenly heard a different voice, saying, "Terribly sorry, sir. My poor sister has dementia and thinks you're her husband. Her dead husband, I might add." FML
Today, my brother asked me how to block someone on Facebook. Seeing as how my brother never asks me for anything, I took this opportunity to help him. He then blocked me. FML
Today, at his request, I met up with my brother for lunch so we could catch up. Apparently, our mother put him up to it so he could tell me our parents are getting a divorce. They didn't want to tell me themselves because I'm "too emotional." FML
Today, I was upset because my brother, who I'm very close to, didn't call me for my birthday yesterday. I told my mom about it, and we both immediately went silent on the phone, as we both realized she forgot to call me yesterday as well. FML
Today, I called one of my old coworkers to see how she was doing. My boyfriend answered the phone. FML
Today, I was walking down the street and I saw my brother on the other side of the road. He lives overseas and always told me he would visit when I least expected it. When I saw him, I got so excited I jumped on his back, screaming his name. It wasn't my brother. FML

Hey OP! My mom did something similar to me. We've been together for six months now and it's been amazing. If he's willing to set up his own sister with one of his friends I'm sure it came from a place of love. Don't take it so hard. ?

Maybe you fall in love, maybe you get a restraining order. You need excitement in your life OP

Tell your brother to **** off!

As sweet as that is, he had no right to do that. Just because he's his friend doesn't mean he can interfere in your personal life.

He obviously cares deeply for his sister and gave her an opportunity to meet someone nice. She can always say no. There's probably a lot of lonely people out there whom may not be so lonely if they had a similar opportunity.

He probably still should have asked before giving her number away without her permission.

A pity "date" still counts as getting some action!

You know you got a problem when your brother starts pimping out his friends to you.

But he was pimping out OP to his friends.

It just means he cares and wants to see the best out of you. My brother did something similar but let me live rent free in his house.

That's not the same as giving your number to his friend without knowing. I know OP's brother meant no harm but he should have asked, in my opinion.

as long as its someone you know or at least have an idea of who the friend is, I don't think its too bad! I just see it as your brother caring about you and/or wanting to see you happy!
