Today, I walked past a church with a bunch of people standing outside waiting for the bride and groom to walk out. When the church doors opened, I yelled congratulations as loud as I could. It was a funeral. FML

Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML

Today, at my job as a funeral director, I fell ass over heels into the grave in front of a hundred mourners and an unamused Catholic priest. FML

Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML

Classic blunder

Today, I serve at church and had a funeral. As I greeted the family, someone asked how I was doing. Without thought, I responded, "Good to be alive." FML

Today, I attended the wrong funeral. I spent twenty minutes trying to hide and walk away without being too conspicuous. FML

Today, my friends and I were goofing off playing tag behind the local church, when I heard a banshee-like wail behind me. Assuming it was one of my friends, I wailed right back and ran. Turned out there was actually a funeral going on, and the wail was from one of the bereaved. FML

Today, I was walking through the park when I saw a guy getting down on one knee to propose. As I passed by, I gave a big thumbs up and loudly said, "You got this!" He was actually tying his shoe. No one else was actually even there with him. FML

Today, while driving in a funeral procession I was distracted, missed my turn and yelled "God dammit!" I'm the funeral director; the Priest was in the car with me as I led the funeral the wrong way. FML

Today, I went to my fiancé's mother's funeral. His step-sister proudly announced that she's pregnant with his baby and they are engaged. FML

#3, PWNAGE! What type of tool would yell anything to a bunch of people they do not know. You deserve to be treated as a lunatic whether it was a funeral, wedding, or any other type of celebration that you were not invited to.

Why you would yell anything at anyone? Even yelling something at a newly married couple you didn't know is really weird, in my opinion. Just don't yell, k?

sadly, i have been to a few funerals throughout my life. i don't remember ever waiting outside on the steps for the casket. for my grandmoms funeral, we filed out behind the casket as they carried it out. maybe there are different ways to hold a funeral, but if there arent, i smell bull sh*it.

#6, true that some weddings have a dress code. But since when are funerals a black tie event? As for the people being turned, I doubt every single face was turned that the OP couldn't see one of them. And the saying is to assume makes an ass of of u and me.

Something very similAR HAPPENED to me. Me and a friend were walking down the stree and saw a bunch of people in fancy clothing outside the church. Me and my friend started skipping and singing the bride song, then a herse pulled up and a tiny coffin came up. I nearly threw up I was so ashamed.
