HALLO?

Today, I was at IKEA with my parents. I walked away from them and later I heard the speaker of the store call my name asking me to come to the playground because my mom and dad were worried. I'm 18. FML

Lost

Today, I got lost at Best Buy. Meanwhile, my mom freaked out, and they called out my name over the intercom. When I walked up to the desk and they saw I was 17, the employees burst out laughing. FML

Today, my mom and I went to Winn-Dixie. I told her I was going to a different isle 5 minutes later I hear my name on the intercom to go to the front of the store. As I go I see my mom crying, she comes and hugs me and tells me she thought I was lost. Im 22, I had my cell phone, and I drove there. FML

Today, I went shopping with my parents. Halfway through, I got separated from them and tried to call them only to find out my cell phone battery was flat. A few minutes later, an announcement was made for a lost child. It was by my parents. I'm 36. FML

Today, I was in IKEA, furniture shopping with my dad. He was looking at one couch that was particularly small. I said "dad that couch is for like a midget." I look over to see a midget looking at me, sitting on the same couch in a different color. He definitely heard me. FML

Today, I was in Walmart with my mom. I was looking for some CDs I wanted and saw a cute guy. Then he nodded at me and as he started to walk towards me, I hear my name being called over the intercom. Apparently, according to my mom, it was time to go. FML

Today, I was in IKEA when my friends and I thought it would be fun to play hide and seek. We all hid; I was in a good hiding spot. Half an hour later, I was still there. I texted my friends to see where they were. They all left to see a movie, and forgot about me. FML

Today, I went shopping with my mom. I went into my department and tried on some clothes. After a few minutes, there is an announcement that a child has gone missing. Staff are searching the store. I see my mom and she hugs me in tears and yells, "I found her!" I'm almost 17. FML

Get back to work

Today, I went to Ikea with my family. I was wearing a yellow polo that vaguely looked like the ones the Ikea employees were wearing. Two dozen people came up to me, complaining that I was staring at furniture instead of helping customers. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy a new lego set, only to find there weren't any left in stock. I started crying before I could make it out of the store. Oh, and I'm eighteen. FML

Maybe don't go shopping with mommy and daddy in the future. You're a big girl, right? That means you can pay for your own stuff. Cry me a river.

ever think that jsut maybe she was helping them pick out new furniture? or vise versa? sometimes its nice to have the second opinion of a family member, because theyare usualy the most honest. i may be wrong, but just a thought.

#13 They were in IKEA, If my conjecture serves me right, to get furniture so she can get out of their house. and if her folks were paying for it, they gotta know what they are paying for.

Haha. That totally happened to me when I was 16. Turned out my mom was just ready to leave and didn't want to wait for me. #13... wow. That's all I can say.

Christ when I went shopping at that age my parents would say we are leaving at such and such a time. If I wasn't there they would leave without me. Be grateful they had you called on teh speaker to take you home. My father wouldn't think twice of having me find a way home if I didn't listen to his instructions.

@15 - my point was, why isn't she paying for the stuff herself? If she's strapped for cash, there's no law requiring her to get brand new furniture. Thrift stores have great deals on used, but still clean and functioning furniture. I don't have any sympathy for spoiled brats.

No one said anything about OP not having money. They said that maybe she/he needed a second opinion on what to buy. Have you never asked a parent or relative for an opinion on something? Cause I'm sure most everyone has at least once. Please, don't be so rude for no apparent reason.
