House hunting

By ohboy - 06/03/2009 00:51 - United States

Today, I was supposed to see an apartment. Thirty minutes after I was to meet the owner, she still hadn't shown. I called her. When I got no response, I was annoyed and kept calling. Finally, she answered, said, "I'm in the hospital with my father. He just died. Please stop calling me," and hung up. FML

Today, my roommate called me, but she's a cunt so I ignored her. A few hours later, I found out her mom and dad were in a serious car accident and she needed a ride to go see them at the hospital. FML

Today, I was hit by a car. I called my girlfriend from the hospital and asked her if she could pick me up. She responded by saying "Fuck you, you aways tell me what to do!" and hung up. FML

Understanding

Today, it was my dad's 60th. I was planning on calling him early, but due to a client (I'm a social worker) ending up in hospital because her husband beat her up, I couldn't call him until 2:30. My mum phoned me in tears, yelling that I was a bad daughter and obviously didn't care about my dad. FML

Thanks mom

Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML

Today, I'm terminally ill, in a foreign country for treatment, and I was feeling hurt and sad inside, so I rang my parents to just talk, to feel warm and protected. My father told me on the phone with an indifferent tone, "Son, we're out for some shopping and getting groceries, Mom will call you back." They never did. FML

Sorry for your loss

Today, I got a call from my optometrist. I ignored the call, because I already knew I had my appointment tomorrow. When I listened to my messages later, I found out it was from his secretary, saying all of his appointments have been canceled due to him passing away last night. FML

Today, while out to lunch, my sister called me and asked me to pick her up from the mall. I told her she'd have to wait. She got pissed off and started cursing at me, so I hung up on her. She called me back 37 times until I answered and yelled "WILL YOU LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE?" It was my boss. FML

Today, I received a random phone call from an unknown number. Three times. After the third time, the person started yelling at me viciously. Then I suddenly heard a different voice, saying, "Terribly sorry, sir. My poor sister has dementia and thinks you're her husband. Her dead husband, I might add." FML

DOA

By Nasu Johi - 06/09/2018 00:00 - United States - New York

Today, as a CNA, I had to go through the belongings of a patient. His phone rang and I answered - it was his boss. As I explained, he cut me off and said to "drop the act" and "he better be there now or he's fired". He was pronounced dead-on-arrival. FML

It's all too much

Today, I took a day off from work for a doctor's appointment. It ended up taking a lot longer than I expected, because while I was on my way, my mom called to inform me that my great aunt passed away this morning. As a result, I showed up extremely late and was berated. And the worst part? It's my birthday. FML

thats not really a fml, how were you supposed to know? most people would do the same if someone didn't show when they were supposed to. Don't feel bad!

She was very rude considering you had no idea what had happened and she was still the one breaking her appointment without notification.

I can see why she'd be upset, but the least she could've done is call u and let u know she couldn't make it today... That sucks OP

Yeah, exactly. The owner of the house should've contacted OP to tell him that she couldn't make it.

Not your fault OP, even though death is tragic. She could have at least texted you, if not call.

Plus, a lot of people don't like to leave messages, because a lot of people don't listen to them/answer them.

Who wouldn't be annoyed if this happened ?! When you've been waiting somewhere for over 30 minutes you call ONCE and leave a "Detailed Message" I think not . you call mutiple times cause your so pissed .

Right. You call once. Then wait there for god knows how long until they finally listen to the message, if they even do that and call you back. That leaves you waiting there because you don't know where they are, and are afraid that if you get too fed up and leave they will show up. Yeah no. You keep calling until they answer and you know what the heck is going on. And the person should of called the OP to tell them that their father had died and told them they needed to reschedule.

It's not OPs fault, how was she supposed to know the father died?

That's terrible for her, but still... if she KNEW that she had an appointment with you, why would she ignore your calls? It would have saved you time and saved her the irritation if she'd just picked up the phone the first time and said, "Sorry, not today."

#6 It's not harrassment; the OP did have an appointment with her. Are you honestly telling me you'd only leave ONE message and then just sit there waiting? FHL...she's at her father's deathbed and she doesn't turn off her phone? I can only guess that maybe she had some other relatives needing to get in touch.
