Today, I was having coffee with an old friend I hadn't seen since university. I asked about her husband; she replied, "He died" and walked off. I was confused, so I stood up and took off after her. She then reminded me that I was at his funeral, and then slapped me in the face. FML

Lame attempt at humor. Poorly written and worded. I'm order to make up a humorous anecdote you need a bit of creativity, my friend. If you really wish to amuse people I suggest you attempt another venue, perhaps reading Dr Seuss to pre-schoolers.

college and university are the same thing. most people in the states say college where as people from other countries, such as canada where op lives, say university.

College and University are not the same thing. Not only here in Canada, it's not the same thing in a lot of places :)

In Canada, you get degrees at University, diplomas at college, and technical diplomas at technical schools. You go to school for things like chemist at University, interior design at college, and plumber at technical school.

Not even in the US is university the same as college. A university contains several colleges such as the College of Liberal Arts.

Most people in America still aspire to go to college though. Can't think of the last time I heard an American talk about going to uni.

In Australia, college is the same as university.

Why would OP write University if they meant college? (Sorry if this is obvious to some) how do you know they meant college?

I hope somebody used that Memory eraser thingy Men in Black use on you.

They should use it on OP's friend so she forgets how insensitive OP was. Then again, OP deserved it very much!

Man. That must have hurt you physically, and her mentally.

I guess you are not too good of a friend. I'd slap you too !

Just because OP's memory isn't great doesn't mean she's a terrible friend. I'm pretty sure we've all forgotten something important before.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say either you have a twin who attended the funeral, or you just have horrible memory problems. That's the only way I could see this as a FML...

Some of you people have obviously never forgotten something before. We don't know how long ago the funeral was or when OP was at university.

@52 for some people it doesn't matter how important the event is, a bad memory is a bad memory. I forget important stuff all the time and often need my husband to describe things we allegedly saw/did/heard. (And no, I'm not an OAP with Alzheimer's - far from it).

No, you're not the only one - I thought they were sitting there having coffee at the reception or something.
