Today, my grandpa took out the family for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turn around without thinking and give him a big hug and say thanks for dinner Grandpa. It wasn't my grandpa. FML

Today, I went to a nice restaurant with my grandfather, who kept telling me to be kind towards our waiter, as he was probably just starting his summer job. The same waiter who, as my granddad had probably forgotten, had brought us our food six months ago and was now standing four feet away. 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, my grandparents took me out for dinner for my birthday. After singing, "Happy birthday dear..." they froze. I had to say my own name because they'd forgotten it. FML

Today, my grandfather sent everyone in my family an email thanking them for the photo we got him. I'd bought the frame, edited the picture, and delivered it to him. All everyone else did was show up and complain while the picture was being taken. I'm the only one who didn't get a thank you email. FML

Today, I bought lunch for my grandparents, aunts, and uncles. My uncle apparently felt uncomfortable at the restaurant, because he got up and flipped the table over before leaving. The bill tripled because of the broken glass, and my uncle called me up later for a ride. FML

Today, I spent all day at the hospital with my grandma for some tests. When I drove her back home she decided to thank me with $50. Knowing she is unemployed, I told her I couldn't take a whole $50. She replied with "Ungrateful, just like your mother", then took the money and left. FML

Today, my greatgrandpa came over for dinner. Halfway through the meal, he pooped himself. My family went through the rest of the meal acting like we hadn't noticed to avoid embarassment. As it was coming to an end, my sister came home and immediately yelled, "Ew! Did someone poop?" He cried. FML

Today, my grandpa took my face in both hands, kissed me on the lips, said "Now you can tell all your friends you've had your first kiss," and walked out of the room. FML

Today, my friend took me and a bunch of other guys out to a nice dinner. This was his way to say thank you for helping him move to a new apartment. He got the cheque, excused himself to go to the restroom and never came back to pay. FML

Today, my grandparents came over for a family dinner. I'm somewhat overweight, and my grandma kept making sound effects in time with me doing pretty much anything. When I complained to my dad after she made a long farting sound as I sat down, he told me to suck it up. FML

Yea we need more info... Was the guy you hugged a creeper? Did he somehow manage to get your number and has left 57 messages asking to continue what you started at the restaurant? Did he follow to your car and stare as you drove away? Did he cop a feel before releasing you? DETAILS PEOPLE

Today, I gave a random stranger a hug by accident. He probably liked it. FML

How is this not an FML? Why do people insist that everything isn't an FML? Seriously people...

Because giving hugs to strangers is just awful, right?

Why don't so many people look before they eat something or hug someone? Is it really that hard to open your eyes and think for 1 second? On: no FML :p

Since when does an FML have to be awful? Most of the FMLs are pretty petty, which is what makes them amusing. If they were truly awful, nobody would read them. Nobody wants to read "Today, I found out I have cancer and have 6 weeks to live. FML." That's just sad. FMLs are supposed to be funny, they're usually just awkward things that happen to people. So someone tell me how this is NOT an FML, and don't just say "shut up, it's not a FML." because that doesn't answer my question.

OH MY GOD! NO! You accidentally hugged a stranger and it was slightly awkward. A more appropriate FML from you would have been: Today, I still haven't learned proper grammar. FML
