Today, while cleaning the bathroom in a suite at the hotel I work at, I heard a couple come in, and then a marriage proposal. She said no, that she had been seeing someone else and left the room. I was then alone in the bathroom, listening to a grown man sob. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was in a crowded elevator and, like any sane person, eavesdropped on the couple in front of me. The guy was breaking up with his girlfriend, and she was crying. As they got off, I patted her on the back and said, "You can do better, honey." It wasn’t until the doors closed that I realized I had just encouraged my boss's wife to leave him. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML
Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML
Today, I came home to hear my girlfriend break up with me, over the answering machine, with my entire family in the room. FML
Today, I came home and heard a noise in the bathroom. I figured it was my girlfriend, so I went over and as the door closed, I told her not to close it because I'd seen her beautiful body before. Turns out it was our roommate. FML

Today, my fiancé and I met his mother for lunch to discuss wedding plans. When we got there, I went to the bathroom to wash my hands. I heard a woman talking on her cell phone in the stall about her son's "disgusting, slutty girlfriend." The toilet flushed and my future mother-in-law walked out. FML
Today, after a very long day, I needed a hotel room but the only one available was a honeymoon suite. I was so tired, I just said yes. My wife just called demanding to know why I was charging a romantic room to our joint credit card, and if I’ve got a woman with me. I just want to go to sleep. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah, but he probably wasn't finished cleaning.

Just leave him a handful of mints on his pillow. That might help?

Take the ring as a tip for cleaning and leaving mints :) Solves any money problems you might have by selling the ring and removes an object that will remind this poor man of his misfortune. It's a win-win situation :D

Ask him what's wrong. If he "nothing", just scream at the top of your lungs "Well shut up then!"

There was nothing you could do. I hope you didn't stay in the bathroom the whole night, that would be weird...

Something is wrong with him, never cry over a female.
xlord 27
Wow dude, I feel sorry for you. The whole point of life is relationships and if you never have something to cry about your entire life it must be ****** up( ur mum, girlfriend, sister....)

Sooo crying over a man would be better for u? ;)

-22 Crying shows weakness. I should've said don't cry over anything. Of course it's human, but when a tough person cries they are never looked at the same. I was going to excuse family members but some members and certain mothers are nothing to cry for (ehhm Casey Anthony)

unless it's about her ****

Crying also shows the ability of the brain to process deep and meaningful info on a lvl shown only by complex organisms

I don't understand the problem of crying here. He isn't doing it in public. He is genuinely, and has every right to be, upset. He put his heart out on the line and got rejected. I would be worried if he shrugged his shoulders and said, "On to the next."

If a guy cries it shows they care and have a heart and feelings... And some girls like that cus it shows that they arent a dick. At least in my eyes if a guy crystal it shows they aren't a dick.

dude crying doesnt show weakness... its normal, i always feel better after a couple good hours of crying (: plus if the guy was asking her to marry him then she must have meant a real lot to him ... would have been sad if he hadnt cried

-59 I don't disagree with the top part, but usually crying makes me feel shitty, My hands all wet with tears, my moans that sound like a horse. Unless that's just me.

Besides, he (thought he) was in a hotel room, alone. So his public image had nothing to do with it.

"but when a tough person cries they are never looked at the same" Oh for crying out loud (no pun intended), what are you, 5? Grow up.

Yeah never cry over a girl. That's poof shit. The trick is to bottle your emotions deep inside until you're such an unbearable emotionally damaged arsehole that no-one can stand you. Then you can take comfort in the fact that while everyone hates you and you're an unhappy person, you at least never cried over a girl like some poofy little sook.

Leave the poor guy alone. He obviously had his heart broken. There's nothing wrong with the occasional good cry, male or female. It's even healthy. As long as you don't cry ALL the time over every little thing...THAT is weak! :)

That awkward moment when you have an awkward moment :') FHL for sure.

It's hardly an FHL if by that you mean the woman who had been cheating and leading that poor man on. Surely you can't mean that, cause that would explain a stereotype I can see.

he didnt propose in the restroom! he proposed in the other room.
deathpotato 11
They weren't in a restroom, they were in a hotel suit. The OP was a cleaning lady that just happened to be doing her job in the bathroom at the wrong time.
