Today, my girlfriend's dad returned home from deployment. Being the grade A fucktard that I am, I got flustered and asked, "So um, did you make it back?" He looked me dead in the eyes and said completely deadpan, "No, obviously I died. Moron." FML

Today, I got back home from work and casually asked my dad, "What's up?" He casually replied, "Wishing I'd had a son instead." and stared glassy-eyed at me until I left the room. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend I was afraid he would no longer love me when he returned from basic training. Hoping he would reassure me his feelings wouldn't change and we'd still be together, he replied instead, "Shit happens." FML

Today, while I was on a date, I noticed my ex-boyfriend in the restaurant, and he looked sad. So I walked over to see him and jokingly said, "You look like your mom died or something!" She had. FML

Today, while grieving over the loss of my Grandpa, I called my girlfriend for comfort. After I had cheered up, she said, "Don't worry, he went to Hell anyway." FML

Today, I went to a funeral for my coworker's father. While there, my dad's cell phone rang and he left to answer it. I turned to my brother and said, "I can't believe he brought his cell phone!" He whispered, "I can't believe he's got coverage. This is a dead zone!" I laughed loudly. At a funeral. FML

Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to meet my parents. My dad thought it'd be hilarious to act surprised and ask me if I'd already dumped the girlfriend I introduced him to yesterday. She slapped me and stormed out of the house before my dad could tell her it was a joke. FML

Today, after my idiot son joined the army, flew out on deployment, he then flew straight back home again after accidentally shooting himself. His squad leader said it was the most bizarre accident he’d ever seen while still being considered an accident. As I said, my son's an idiot. FML

He respawned like in a first-person shooter.

you deserved it. at least he had some sort of humor whether it was sarcastic or not. maybe he'll forget. but you deserved that one. you even labeled yourself as a "grade a fucktard"

Well, could be worse... And at least he didn't call you worse than a moron... Good thing he made it back though, eh?

If I was him it would have been a different experience for you.

Why? I mean, it was just a fuckup in their head.

Because not everyone comes back.

Of course, obviously OP didn't mean it though. You've probably said something equally as stupid at some point too. Oh, and thank you for your service.

The most I say is welcome back. We have gold star families visit every year. So we will never speak ill of our fallen. Even if they weren't the nicest person we still show that respect.

OP didn't show any disrespect. He got flustered and said something dumb. People do that. Not a big deal.

He wasn't being disrespectful, he had a derp moment which happens to everyone.

I don't know why it would be a different experience for the OP, but I'm glad it wasn't you. It sounds like you'd further damage Military Veterans reputations on top of being in jail for assault. Sarcasm was the perfect response. I just returned from a deployment in May, I was and am still asked many dumb questions, like "What was it like in Iraq, Vietnam?" and "How many people have you killed?" but even the dumb questions are usually out of curiosity. Lighten up.
