Miscellaneous: Nice timing

Nice timing

Today, I went to my grandfather's funeral. As I stood there, bawling my eyes out, my aunt came over and put her arm around me. She leaned her head close to mine. I assumed she was going to say something comforting. Instead she asked where I'd bought my shoes from. FML

Today, I was standing in the parking lot with my sister, after my aunt's funeral, when my grandma walks up and says to my sister, "You're the one going places in life, I'm proud to have you as a grand daughter." She then looked at me, and walked away. FML

Today, at my grandparent's funeral, we were waiting for the pastor. He was fashionably late because he couldn't find his sunglasses and had gone to buy new ones. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, at my grandmother's funeral, my senile grandfather kept asking me "Where's granny? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her." FML

Today, it was my grandfather's burial. As the family was about to leave, a great aunt came up to my skinny, tall and pretty cousin and told her, "Stay beautiful and kind." Then, she walked to me and said, "And you, Stay kind." FML

Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out for a romantic dinner, since we can't see each other this Valentine's Day. Halfway through, my aunt called, telling me my grandma had died. I had to leave because I was crying so much, leaving my girlfriend with a very pricey bill. FML

Shit, at least she didn't say something like "He never really liked you, you know." Sorry about your grandpa.

When I started reading this, I though the aunt was going to say something like, "You know, that old son-of-a-bitch molested me during my whole childhood." Now, there's your FML!

I'm not sure what to click here....b/c "i agree your life sucks" is true b/c your grandfather died, but your aunt's comment (which is the focus of the post) isn't comparatively a big deal. I can't put "you deserve it" b/c nothing has actually happened (outside of your grandfather dying, which was not your fault)...although, it is your fault for having a good sense of style?

How exactly does her life suck because an old person died?? If anything her life was the opposite of suck because she got to know her grandfather and form a relationship with him (assuming that from the way she was crying, though granted she could have just been set off by someone else crying). Besides, I don't know about anyone else but I would rather my grandparents died while they were still in use of most if not all of their facilities. Having to watch someone go senile or waste away from some disease or other is not something I would wish on anyone.

The site NEEDs another 'button' for entries like this where neither FYL nor YDI are appropriate!! If pressed to choose one, I'd click YDI for her being so self-centered. As the OP gets older, she'll realize that people become desensitized to funerals after going to so many over the yrs. The Aunt could write a FML; 'I quietly asked my niece where she got her lovely shoes at a funeral and the damm bitch copped an attitude on me and wouldn't tell me where she got the shoes.'

Aww I'm sorry about your grandfather. That sounds exactly like every family funeral I go to except that my aunt asks me when I'm going to join the Daughters of the Confederacy instead of my shoes. =P It's so horrible.
