Foot in mouth

By oopsjsp90 - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, I told a lady that came into my clothing store that I thought her abstract looking necklace was pretty. She responded, "Oh… That's actually a pipe that goes into my lung." FML

Seriously, Fmylife.com really needs a "This ain't a big deal" button.

You probably just made the old lady very happy, about her pipe, so why is your life ******?

Yeah agree with #40... you probably made her day. I can see how it would be maybe a foot-in-mouth sort of thing, but not an fml. It probably made her feel better about having to wear it : )

shit happens when u party naked.

u deserved it for not knowing what a trach looks like but honestly good for you for complimenting it rather than whisper about it behind her back or stare at it

so, you complimented her, how is that an FML?

I bet she gives great head since she doesn't need her mouth or nose to breathe

To break the awkward silence that surely happened next, tell her that it really brings out the color in her eyes.

Eh, you probably just made her feel less self-concious about it. If nothing else, she probably just found it amusing and she laughed about it with her family when she got home. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
