Backfired

By Telemistake - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, a telemarketer called for my dad. Jokingly, I said, "I haven't seen him for like five days… I'm starting to get worried," in my best child-like voice. Apparently the telemarketer called Child Protective Services. I'm 20. FML

People are calling you an idiot? No. You are my hero.

I know somebody that has a child-like voice. She does stuff like that all the time.

Good for her, I'm glad she's actually doing her job right, unlike some people.

I always just tell them that the person they are looking for don't live here anymore.

do you Americans actually move out before you're 20?! ha! no wonder you're all a bit silly!

To #19 im in college and have had my own place since I was 18 its not that hard you just have to work. I give this dude props next time use sound board dot com good stuff on there to

The fact you are 20 means nothing. You were pretending to be a child, and it worked. If anything that just means you know that you're good at prank calls.

That's what I was thinking, #73. Even if it was a child, s/he could still have another parent at home.

aww. It's ok, the telemarketer's an idiot for thinking anyone takes telemarketing calls seriously.
