Today, while I was working my shift at the store, my girlfriend appeared and asked to talk to me. Once we were alone, she burst into tears and started sobbing. Turns out someone's dad died in her favorite TV show and she wanted some comfort. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I walked in on my mom drenched in tears, barely able to speak. I ran to get her some tissues and a nice cup of tea to calm her down. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I asked her if she wanted to talk about what happened. She watched an episode of Gossip Girl. FML
Whiter shade of pale
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Gene Cusano
Today, I was trying to get drama students to attempt to make themselves cry. I was not having any luck, until suddenly a girl burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. I jumped up to applaud, saying what a wonderful thing it is to have such expressive kids. Turns out her grandma just died. FML
Today, I was rushed to the hospital because I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. Why was I crying? My favorite anime character died. FML
Safe space
Today, my girlfriend got into a huge fight with her mom over the phone. After the fight, she looked ready to cry so I went over to comfort her. She went straight past me, and started confiding in her creepy, extremely expensive dolls instead. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML
Today, I went into work and noticed one of my fellow colleagues had a large bunch of flowers on her desk. As soon as I saw her, I immediately said, "Happy Birthday!" Everyone went quiet. It wasn't her birthday; her father had died. FML
Alexa, play "Don't Go" by Yazoo
Today, my girlfriend is on her period. She hugged me, crying because she was going to miss me. Where was I going? To the store down the street and back. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me by text for another man while I was at work. While I worked the drive-thru, a customer noticed me choking back my tears and said "I'd be cryin' too if I worked your dead-end job." FML
Today, my girlfriend whom I'm crazy about broke up with me out of the blue. After pleading with her unsuccessfully, I called my mom for comfort and advice. She informed me that my dog had died. FML

It could be worse, like my ex cried at the sight of pickles...

I bet it was True Blood or something stupid like that.

OP. get out while you can...
loloalltheway 23
Sometimes you just get really into a serie and you can't help it but to feel a personal connection to the characters...:/

68, Yes but you should also have the common sense to separate reality from fiction. Stable people don't go visiting their boyfriends at work to seek support because a fictional character died. If you want to get upset over it, go ahead, but don't go dragging other people out of their jobs just to console you over it. I'd politely tell you to go home and keep my eyes open for other signs of emotional instability.
loloalltheway 23
Well i agree With that she seems a bit unstable and she Did overreact, but i completely understand why she was so sad.... She probably just went to her boyfriend to get it off her chest and he is her boyfriend, he is suppose to help her feel better, what ever the reason.
zumbazam 4
RUNNNNNN before its too late!!
lonkite101 14
Why? If she was really interested in it, then she would be obviously sad. Btw F her life, OP. for having a boyfriend who instead of wanting to comfort her, writes it on FML. You don't deserve her.
lonkite101 14
2- Failed first comment.
tehcyberman 9
thats true 30. I don't know why everyone is siding with OP. I mean sure this is a bit ridiculous, but OP owes it to his girlfriend to be a little more comforting. People get upset about silly things, and I'm sure OP has cried about something even more trivial throughout his life.
lonkite101 14
33- yeah, exactly. I guess this is one of the many reasons relationships don't work out as well as other generations did..
lonkite101 14
Before I said fail first comment because it was 2's first commentZ
Viciously_Me 1
Why couldn't she wait til he was off work? Things like that get ppl fired. She seems like an idiot OP. I don't see how this is at all his fault. Besides who's to say he didn't comfort her. My bf would have told me to cut the crap, and it'd help me realize how silly I was being. Also, I don't do that
fromthesuck 8
I know women can be an emotional mess, even the most head strong. But this is far too dependent. It'd be one thing to call you when you're not busy or even to bug you while with friends. But to drag you out of work because she can't understand the priority of that over a sad tv show has no excuse that doesn't involve therapy at some level.

#26 every single one of your comments on this thread have been fails... Well you are only 13 so you have absolutely no idea what the real world is yet
lonkite101 14
64- you would have no clue. So stop hatin please.
HairyPunisher 27
Yeah lonkite101 your comments seem to have no rational basis at all. 26 is right. I'm sorry but there is no possible way that you, a 13 year old, has the life experience to back up comments like your generation comment. Just stop while you're ahead please. As evidenced by the bazillion thumbs down you've gotten, that's a sign to shut up.
fourth_line_dust 20
It's a fuking tv show why would someone get sad about something that is not real

You're telling me that you have NEVER cried at a movie or tv death?

I cried when Jirayia died on Naruto.
brianjman14 23
To tell you the truth, I can't remember ever crying over a movie or tv show. I've felt a lot of emotion and I've been close a few times, but have never cried.
nadnerbz 6
^^ Don't lie, you know you cried at the end of marley and me
SammyS2012 21
Not even for Marley and Me?!?!?! D':
tehcyberman 9
I didn't cry at the end of Marley and Me. I bawled. Then I went bed, woke up, and when I walked over to my TV and saw the disc case for the movie I started sobbing again. Let it all out OP's girlfriend!
MagicGiraffe 12
That animated horse movie Spirit made me cry. Poor horsies...

36 I was actually thinking that before I saw your comment. It's a touching movie, especially when I had a dog that was very old and he had a tumor.
hahasooo 2
I've never cried for any movie, show, pr anythin!:)
Bekll 31
Many cried over J.T.'s stab to the death on Degrassi.

I cried so hard when Sam (the dog) died in "I Am Legend"
moneybagz131 6
I have NEVER felt sad about a tv show person dying. The only time I ever feel sad is when an animal dies in shows and movies=
letmehavemytea 21
Same here bro, same here
xleanne_aLly 23
Awww haha the only time I reallly cried when a fictional character died was when Prim died in Mockingjay :/

Why would you spoil mocking jay noooo

I cried when The Emperor died in Return of the Jedi :(
Quinn32 16
I won't watch that movie ever again because the dog dieing was too sad.
SpottedZebra42 14
The Tenth Doctor's death and regeneration on "Doctor Who" was one of the saddest things I've seen on a TV show.
RICEandPUDDING 3
I cry every time when Mufasa dies in The Lion King :(
beatlegirl27 20
The Lion King
SammyS2012 21
Marley and Me made my sister, my brother, and me cry all on separate occasions. Our dog now is almost 9 and is starting to climb up the stairs really slowly; not to mention that he fell down them once and got a seizure. It will be one of the saddest days in my house when our dog passes </3 I also cried in Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Won left Anakin in the lava :( THEY WERE LIKE BROTHERS.
rocketshock 8
I cried hard when watching the almost fiery death scene in Toy Story 3.
Hershey903 5
Obi Wan was like "Not sure if to save him cause he was my apprentice, or let him die because he murdered everyone i know and almost me....."
mxpklx 12
Cried at the last episode of battle star galactica. Best show ever made :')
azndecoy 2
I cried when ash turned to stone and pikachu was trying to wake him up with his thunder shock in the first Pokemon movie
j_cat187 20
I can't cry, for I am a ginger and have no soul.

I cried when Michael died in prison break :( RIP
sirsquab 12
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER As #10 said, she should have found a better way to deal with it then bug her bf at work. P.S. I see nothing wrong with crying because something really, really sad happened in a tv show or movie.
jellycorn 13
I cried in Harry Potter, when Fred died.
laughsalot1993 2
When the iron giant flies into the bomb at the end of the movie and says "superman", I cry. Every time. I you don't understand this reference, watch the movie. It's a good one.
BrittanyChayanne 14
GAAAH!! Spoiler alert!
heilheather 7
I cried watching the Spongebob Squarepants Movie when spongebob and patrick are dying, singing and crying :(
ChattyKathy0502 2
I've cried at the end of a few movies can't say I have for a tv show but regardless that's slightly ridiculous. Wait til he gets off of work or I don't know be a big girl and suck it up? After all it IS just a tv show. Just saying...

She's lying to you, so find out what she really wanted. This one sounds promising, no sarcasm intended.

....wut?
Roley4498 14
Quite the idiot you've got there
lottievaughn 5
Because she cries? Sure, a little dramatic or super emotional...but that doesn't make her an idiot.
outoftown 27
I cried at tv/movie deaths more easily after a family member of mine died. But I never would have gone to a boyfiend's workplace over it.
Roley4498 14
Nothing wrong with crying at a film , but to travel to someone's job for a shoulder to cry on is way too extreme :)
theluckyones 10
I agree, I think that would definitely be a deal breaker. Going to someone's job? Seriously that's a little extreme and clingy.
evilplatypus 39
Not gonna lie; I cried when Hedwig died.
unknown_user5566 27
Me too! I at least took comfort in the fact that he died a valiant death while protecting Harry.
thatKidzmOm 10
I cried when dumbledore died in the book. I also cried when Denny died on Grey's Anatomy.
lonkite101 14
Or when goerge died!! Actually not really..
fuzz97 23
It's a shame that none of you can distinguish fantasy from reality
lonkite101 14
37- how? It's just when people get mentally attached to characters- real or not real- they care for them.
missathegirlwond 19
Too bad it was Fred, #32...
lonkite101 14
71- oh ! Your right, I haven't read the books for a while..
Hiimhaileypotter 53
Really, #37? We "can't distinguish fantasy from reality"? Haha. Um, actually it's called enjoying something so much that you can't help but get emotional over it. As you can see from my username I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I'm also an emotional train wreck of a teenage girl when I reread the books or re-watch the movies. (The same goes for other books, like LOTR). Just because we enjoy something doesn't mean we can't separate fiction from reality.

Or when Walter White is going to die in Season 6 :[

Fred died, George lost an ear.

Am I the only one that feels like they kind of rushed his death in the movie? I barely had time to cry! They should of made it longer!
