Today, my grandad smacked me on the back of the head, and told me to, "Act like a goddamn man and stop crying." It was at the funeral of my mum and sister, who both died in a car crash. FML

Today, I went to my grandfather's funeral. As I stood there, bawling my eyes out, my aunt came over and put her arm around me. She leaned her head close to mine. I assumed she was going to say something comforting. Instead she asked where I'd bought my shoes from. FML

Today, I overheard my daughter compliment my mother by saying "My mom is way flabbier than you, Grandma." When I told her later that she hurt my feelings, she told me to "man up." She's seven. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML

Sorry for your loss. No matter how much of a man you are, crying at a funeral does not mean you're weak. Especially if it's someone close like a grandmother.

It's okay to cry, especially under these circumstances. Whoever tells you otherwise can go to hell. I'm sorry for your loss OP

I'm sorry for your loss and sorry for you being surrounded by idiots. Men are absolutely allowed to have and use their feelings, too!

Who told you? Just punch them in the face. It's OK to cry at funerals, no matter who tells you you shouldn't

I regret not crying at my grandpa's my cousins is really judgey and they haven't cry at the hospital or at the funeral and they already made fun of my sister before the day of the funeral for crying so I stayed strong but now I wish I cried in the time period

So one person's actions make you hate 320 million completely unrelated people. Great logic there

I got so upset during my mom's funeral, I ran outside to collect myself. My dad's mom, one of my grandmothers, came outside and told me I was embarassing her before marching me back inside. If I hadn't been so out of it, I would've slugged her. Cry all you need to, don't listen to that asshole, you're not less of a man for crying.

Today, my boyfriend and I were having sex. Feeling goofy, I thought it’d be funny to try to reenact that horrible sex scene from the movie Showgirls. I threw my body back, but completely lost my balance and smashed my head on the headboard. I ended up with a bad concussion and a huge hospital bill. FML

Today, working as a waitress, I was asked by a customer, yet again, how my baby was doing. I don't have a baby, but I do look very similar to my 25-year-old coworker, who's a new mom. People confuse us all the time. Unfortunately, my crush, who was standing nearby, doesn't know that. FML

Today, after I wore a pad last night, I woke up this morning, took off my underwear to use the bathroom, and a huge period glob flew hit the rug and splattered everywhere. The globs got on every piece if clothing I wore. I then had to clean what looked like a crime scene. FML
