Jumpy

Today, my mom made me clean. I was dusting in the living room and heard gunshots outside the apartment. I dove on the floor and started crying and screaming. My mom walked in and informed me that the sound was her making popcorn. FML

Today, I was home alone and tried to make some popcorn so I could watch a movie. Thirty minutes later, my parents came home and found me talking to the firemen. FML

Today, I heard something that sounded like a series of gunshots outside my house. My Dad screamed, "Get down!" at the top of his lungs. The whole family immediately dropped to the floor, my sister whimpering and trembling, only moments later to hear my Dad cackling uncontrollably over us. They were just fireworks. FML

Nice…

Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. FML

Today, I was over at my boyfriend's house and I heard a strange sound. I laughed and said, "It sounds like a dog throwing up!" He listened for a second and said "That's my mom crying downstairs." FML

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML

Private freakout

Today, the neighbors called the cops on us because they heard a series of loud screams. No, no one was being murdered, but my mom found one of my socks in the laundry room. FML

Today, I was babysitting for my usual. After putting the baby to sleep I put some popcorn in the microwave and went to the bathroom. When I came out the whole kitchen was filled with smoke. One of the neighbors saw and called 911. I'm out of a job. FML

Today, I woke up to a blood-curdling scream from the living room. I jumped up and went running, only to find out it was my mother, who'd screamed at some dramatic plot twist in a Sex and the City episode. FML

I'm a bit torn on this one. Not over FYL/YDI, as it's definitely YDI, but on whether this person lives in the ghetto or not. On one hand, the only reason I can see for being so paranoid is if you live in an area with a lot of crime, but on the other hand, if you live in an area like that, I would think you would know the difference between popcorn and a gun. Either way you're still a moron.

#32, Think about it -- their first assumption was gunfire. It has to be a pretty damn shitty neighborhood for that to be the case.

If your first assumption is gunfire, and you live in the ghetto, you should be used to hearing it. When I lived in the unsavory part of town it was "oh gun shots again" (except for the time the crack house two blocks down got raided and there was a lot of automatic gunfire heading in our direction). Otherwise you just have a very overactive imagination.

either you have really sensitive hearing, or you've never heard a gun fired/popcorn being popped. Either way, i think this shows signs of deep emotional distress and grounds for months if not years of expensive therapy.
