Today, my idiot sister had to have her aged dog put down, then she posts on MY Facebook page, "RIP, Buddy, we'll miss you." My adult children and most of my friends thought I died. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my grandmother died. No one called me to let me know she passed. I found out because people kept writing RIP on her Facebook wall. My siblings and I weren't even mentioned in her obituary with the other grandchildren, but they did remember to mention her dog. FML
Today, a friend thought it would be funny to make a R.I.P. page for me on Facebook. Most liked post? "Too bad this page is fake." 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, I found out my grandfather died via Facebook, because apparently both my father and my aunt think posting a status about it immediately rather than calling family is the thing to do. FML
Today, I saw selfies of my aunt and her friends on Facebook having a great time. They took the pictures at my mother's funeral last week. FML
Today, I added the wrong reaction to a Facebook post, using the laughing smiley instead of the hug, and only noticed two hours later, when my friend wouldn't talk to me because she thought I like found the fact that her dog died funny. FML
Today, my sister announced her pregnancy at my husband's funeral. FML
Today, I knew it was going to be a fun day when I woke up to find that my kids' new puppy had died in the night. FML
Today, a friend posted the Facebook status "Ahhh... relief." Trying to be funny, I replied "Why? Did you just poop?" A few hours later, I read her previous posts and found out her dad's in the hospital having heart surgery. Now everyone thinks I'm a heartless dick. FML
Today, after leaving my mom's house, I got 4 text messages from her about how I was a terrible person for not saying goodbye to my sister when I left. The "sister" she was referring to is the family dog. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sure that misunderstanding could be cleared up fairly easily. Sorry to hear her dog had to be put down though. That's never easy. :(

#1 I don't think it's funny I agree with OP about her sister being stupid I would probably flip out to if that had been my mom.

At first it wouldn't be funny, but after their told that nobody died then its funny. It's like a prank, first you're like FU then you look back on it and laugh.

If I was OP I would have called the people who thought I was dead in the middle of the night and creep them out!

That's kinda funny actually

I don't know why this guy is getting downvoted. Maybe I'm just dark, but I cracked up when I read this. It's hilarious that they thought she was referring to OP when she said, "RIP, Buddy..." since the dog's name could be interpreted in two ways!

Sorry for your sister's loss, though!

I always wonder how would ppl react after I die! OP I know it's bad, but try to think of it positively! U got to see people's reaction to your death while still alive! :)

Your kids and friends are the ones who come out sounding like idiots here. Lol

Unless OP's name/nickname is Buddy, i have to agree. Why would they assume that OP is the only one the sibling could say RIP in reference to?
Feklfekl2222 32
I would say if someone put RIP in a clearly serious way on someone's wall on Facebook I would assume the person had died

I would assume the children would be notified by means other than a Facebook post if she really had died... maybe the friends could believe it but the kids shouldn't have.

55 you would be surprised to see the way people get notified of anything. A lot of people don't have enough common sense to realized it's better to lean about it through people actually talking.

I have to agree with #60 here, I found out my aunt died over Facebook and so did a few other members of the family. People are inconsiderate of others sometimes and don't think before they update.

Maybe not the friends but you'd think the family might know the name of the dog.

That could've turned into an awesomely sick practical joke where everyone gathers to mourn your loss and you walk in the room. But sorry about your sisters dog. That sucks.

In a hilarious way...

A simple Facebook status will resolve the issue

'hey guys I'm not dead, my sisters an idiot' comment #1 ' YOU'RE A ZOMBIE????'

Take advantage of the situation! You now have a way to miss taxes!

Wow OP.. Calm down, it looks like a common mistake.

Why do you think OP is mad?
SweetasCandy0609 28
#9 a mistake yes a huge one but common I don't think so, yes it could be cleared up quickly however I understand why OP is upset I would be to, I can only imagine what I would feel like had it been my mother.

Mother? I don't see a gender symbol, but everyone assuming it was OP by the sister referencing "buddy", I would think the OP was a man.

Aww sorry for your dog but lol

#10 it wasn't OP'S dog it was OP'S sisters dog.
