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

Place in the world fades away

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

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

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

Wow, how insensitive. Her father just died and you guys are calling her a bitch cause she couldn't deal with work stuff at the same time? Maybe it would have been more professional to call, but from personal experience when a family member dies you don't really give a shit about anything and focus on, you know, helping the rest of your family through it and dealing with the loss. Besides that, you aren't supposed to have cell phones in hospitals assholes.

So she was probably lying, considering her phone was never off and she was apparently in a Hospital. I know from experience in hospitals around where I live that cell phones do not work at all in them. They've put up machines that block the signals because the cell phones kept screwing with machines.

When one of your family members dies, you'll see just how much of a **** you give about a random customer, douchebags.

Does anyone else realize that there is a possible explanation for her not being a bitch? You're not supposed to have your cell phone on in a hospital. Perhaps she had it on vibrate, and while a doctor was in the room, her phone started vibrating and the doctor didn't hear it. Then, when the doctor left the room, she answered it and then turned it off. Try to think the best of people.

Anyone who owns apartments is bound to b a bitch anyway. Find yourself a house with a yard. Life is better that way.

Seriously? I hope SHE dies. Click the thumbs down all you want, but people need to start thinking about others.

FYL. Not because of the akward moment, but because she didn't even call to tell you she wasn't going to come. I know she wouldn't be thinking about it since her father died, but it's still her fault. Don't feel bad about it. You didn't know, and she had more important things to think about.
