Made his day, probably

Today, I was at Walmart when I saw my grandpa in the next aisle looking at magazines. Wanting to surprise him, I ran up behind him and hugged him around the middle. Up close, I realized he wasn't my grandpa. FML

I had the same thing happen to me at my daughter's high school graduation. I came up from behind to hug and congratulate her but it wasn't her. Fortunately, it was one of her friends and she had a good sense of humor about it.

I thought you were going to say you hugged him then saw he was holding a **** magazine, now I'm all disappointed.

don't worry, you probably made his day ;)

Well, you hugged a random stranger. Nothing wrong with that, especially at this time of the year! :)

you should probably be more carefully next time

Everybody makes mistakes everybody has those days

Here I thought he was going to be looking at one of the 'top shelf' magazines!

As Noor and a few other people have said.

In other words, u saw someone @ Walmart who looked like your grandpa. Fascinating!

In other words, you re-worded the FML as your comment. Fascinating!

How exactly can you be @ Walmart on Xmas day, considering (myself having worked for them before) I'm pretty sure Xmas is the ONLY day of the year they are CLOSED?

FML is a very selective peer-reviewed publication, so it may take a day or more for an FML to show up.
