Today, I ran into an old friend. I asked her how she was doing, then asked, "And your mum?" Just as the words escaped my lips, I remembered her mum died a few years ago. Trying to save face, I messed up again and blurted, "She still in the same graveyard?" FML

Today, I ran into an old friend, and she asked me how I was doing. I replied, "Still alive!" like I always do. I forgot both of her parents recently passed away. FML

Today, I was at a party and saw an old friend from college. I went up to her asking how she was and how her family was. She went on to tell me that her husband left her a month ago and started crying. I told her that he was an ass anyway and that she didn't need him. Turns out he died. FML

Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Heartbreaking

Today, I ran into a childhood friend for the first time in years. It turned out her mother died of COVID a few days ago. It was heartbreaking to see her close to tears all the time we talked, but due to distancing I couldn't even hug her to make her feel better. FML

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

Adieu

Today, I saw an old friend while out and about. Since I don't leave the house very often, my friend was surprised to see me in person. He jokingly asked if someone was dying, and I cried in response. I was in fact going to the hospital to say goodbye to my grandma. FML

Words of advice: A: Stop going to funerals drunk... B: If you're that forgetful, keep a daily log... C: Remember to look at daily log... D: If all else fails, never ask anyone ever again about a family member, friend, pet, etc...

Don't assume OP was drunk because they forgot. It's called a mental block. Ever heard of one? Obviously not. Don't assume people are drunk because they make dumb mistakes. So eliminate letter A stupid

At least it was an old friend and not a close friend.. Looks like you're not going to talk to them for a while again.. That's harsh though :/

I bet he also forgets what he's doing when he walks into a room.

It's kinda like when Michael Jackson died. The fact that he was a potential child molester just went away

Oh get over the Michael thing, was he found guilty in the courts? I guess you are one of those people who knows more than courts and juries because you're so highly educated. Lord help your country if you ever get into government. Imagine a world filled will ppl like you. *shivers*

Do your research, they later found that the little boy had actually been drugged by his father and was told to say those things. Jacksons innocence was proven but that wouldn't make for a good story line in a magazine so no one ever heard about and hopefully when you die everyone will forget how stupid and superficial you are.

I bet you said that purposely to make her feel bad. Surely you'll remember that you went to the funeral
