Today, my grandma bought me a cemetery plot for my birthday. If that's not weird enough, it's about a two-minute walk from where the rest of my family will be buried. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. It's also the day of my grandmother's funeral. I spent most of my 21st birthday in a cemetery. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Some 17 year-olds will receive cars as presents from their parents. Mine, however, booked me a plot in the local graveyard. FML
Today, my father gave me the best birthday gift, a piece of real estate. I got a grave, which is leased. FML
Today, it was my birthday. It was also the only day my family wanted to hold the graveside funeral for my grandmother, who passed last week. FML
Today, I found out that my grandmother desecrated my grandfather's grave. 14 years after his death, she dug up his body and had him cremated so that she could sell his plot back to the cemetery for money. I was the one who found out so I had to tell the rest of the family. FML
Today, I found out I was getting a new bed for my room. Then find out it was my great-grandmother's. The one she died in. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandmother died yesterday. We were close and she basically raised me. FML
Today, after burying my dad on my birthday, one of my aunts walked up to me and said, "Well at least you won't forget your birthday." I wanted to cuss her out so bad, like, bitch, how would I forget my birthday and the day I buried my dad? FML
Today, I proudly gave my grandma a picture I had drawn for her. She didn't seem thrilled with it, and afterwards the rest of my family seemed upset. Nobody could fathom why I drew grandma a picture of a graveyard for her 85th birthday. It was suppose to be a bridge. FML
Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML

What's wrong with that? Are you not dying to get your birthday gift?

Why a 2 mile walk? Wouldn't it be 2 miles regardless of your means of conveyance?

a two mile bike ride is shorter than a 2 mile walk but longer than a 2 mile car ride... Knowledge .... i has it

No, you obviously don't. A two mile distance is still a two mile distance no matter how you chose to travel. Just because one method takes less time to travel than another does not make the distance any shorter.

I don't understand why people think useful gifts qualify as fml material. That's thousands of dollars you're not going to have to budget for when planning your life insurance or something you won't have to put in your funeral pre-planning years down the road. As for not being right next to the rest of your family...who cares? It's a hole in the ground for your body to rot in. It's not like you'll have any idea where your corpse resides or the opportunity to chat with the corpse buried next to yours. Appreciate she thinks enough of you to actually do this, and thought far enough ahead to make sure you at least ended up in the same cemetery as the rest of your family.

#101 - judging by some of the comments, I wouldn't put it past some of this lot to try chatting up a corpse...

How is that weird? She doesn't like you and wants you dead. More mean, than weird, I think. Oh, and she doesn't want to be buried anywhere near you and will probably kill you. Watch your back, sicufovoshxbsjdk, you never know who your friends are.

It's not like you'll be walking it.
