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.

That`s really dumb. The least she could do was call and tell you she couldn`t make it, so you weren`t left waiting for her and calling her like an idiot.

She might've been making it up, I say that kind of stuff when I want people off my back semi-often. Either way, she left you hanging you there and you had the right to be informed she couldn't make it. She has a responsibility, dammit!

she shouldn't have been so rude damn. she could've at least called you and cancelled or answered the first time you called and said i can't make it.

#6.. thats stupid. yea, i agree its polite to call once, but after 30 minutes your telling me you wouldn't call once or twice more before you leave? and come on, they had an appointment, its not harassment. jesus. overall its just a bad situation.. he had no idea what was going on, and the woman was understandably pissed, her father just died.

She shouldve sent a text message at least. Business is business and clearly the lady was getting her personal life mixed in with her job.

It's should have been her responsibility to tell you that she couldn't show you the apartment. Granted, how many times did you call? Her response was rude, but it is understandable. However if you were calling really often, no one likes that.

If she answered the first or second time or simply sent a text saying "Sorry family emergency happened will call to plan"

Not to sound insensitive to her.. but this confrontation could have been avoided had she hired a professional such as a realtor in the first place or at the very least, leave you a note of cancellation. Her personal life wasn't your business yet she felt she needed to share with you to 'get this person to stop calling her' this is likely the kind of state of mind she was in at the time and she simply emotionally reacted without thinking. You're not in the wrong here.. and don't feel any of it is about you or that you caused her the distress. You just happen to be caught up in a series of events, reacted logically as a person would knowing what you knew at the time, which just happened to plant you smack dab in the middle of a person experiencing one the worst moments in their life.

ok thats really rude of her. yes, i understand she's in a tragic situation, but she should be professional enough to notify you that she cannot make the meeting.

yo dont feel bad at all, it was completely her fault, she definitely shoulda called you, you can yell at her but thatll just make her feel worse, even though she deserves it. She expected you to waitlike 2 hours at an appointment while she was somewhere else
