Depressing

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while at work, I was told by a man who had literally just gotten back from his mother's funeral to cheer up, as I was depressing him. FML

Just imagine how depressing YOU must have looked to make that man feel he was happy in comparison.

Maybe I'm depressed because I haven't ever seen an FML that I have laughed at : (

First sentence of #14 has it right--I call fake. That is a really old line. "She/he is so boring they could depress someone who just..." Life is full of screwed moments; lets have a few real ones (like idiots that invest in Iraqi Dinars).

Depression sucks but oh well. op, you will survive even if someone tells you to cheer up.... I have a lot of people tell me to be happy everyday..... I'm still alive ad happy enough.

Well, he did just lose his mother. A bit of crankiness or depression is to be expected. Of course, this ain't your FML either. It's his.

How does one figuratively get back from their mother's funeral? I was in a good mood, but the misuse of the word "literally" instantly plunges me into a deep, blue funk and a white rage. The net result is baby-blue ennui.

Well as opposed to maybe he got back the day before or last week or something. If someone expirenced something as traumatic as their mother's death a day or week ago it would make sense to say it just happened. The "literally" here implies that he just got back from the funeral that day.

I agree with #35, I thought the OP meant "literally" as in he had JUST gotten back from his moms funeral.

Today, my husband threw a bitch-fit and made passive aggressive remarks throughout the entire day. What did I do? Call him out on commenting an eggplant, peach, and winky face emoji under a female friend’s picture. He deactivated all social media accounts and shouted, “Are you happy now? I can’t talk to anyone now!” FML

Today, and for the past month, I've been feeling lightheaded from a breathing problem. I've now been prescribed a medication to help with my anxiety and my breathing issue, which would in turn help stop me from getting so lightheaded. The side effect of said medication: lightheadedness. FML

Today, I was walking to my car from my workplace. When I was about 20 feet from my car, a guy who was clearly on drugs yelled at me and stole my keys and car. Right before leaving the parking lot, he hit a stop sign and then yelled that my car was broken and ran off. FML

Today, after telling my boyfriend I never achieved an orgasm with any of my past partners, and therefore telling him what I need to get there, he won't even touch me, let alone do anything "down there" because he has never done it on any of his past girlfriends, and thinks it's gross. I make sure to always be fresh and clean. FML

Today, I had to go to the bathroom, but the door was closed. I waited until I was pretty much about to explode, and eventually yelled, "Are you okay?" and my roommate replied, "What are you talking about? Oh, sorry. I left the light on." How do you close the door and forget to turn off the light? FML

Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended to crush on, and also can't have. For one he's married and utterly devoted to his wife. And even if that weren't true, he's so far out of my league I need binoculars to see him. And to top it all of? He's fictional. FML

Today, I was shopping with my husband. At the self-checkout, one of the items I was buying for him as a gift didn’t register. As we were walking out, I get stopped and escorted to the loss prevention office, where I was accused of stealing. FML
