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

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

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

@#37 If someone lives in the ghetto and hears a gunshot, you'd best believe they're going to be ducking. Because it happens so often, you don't know where that bullets going to land up.

I'm #5 and #17 I think this quote will suffice. "Willfully ignorant it's like they loved to be prisoners". If he/she lived in the ghetto they would not be posting this due to the fact that they can identify the difference of sounds.

Idiot! How do you confuse popcorn with gunshots? You must have never heard a real gunshot in your life. FAIL!

Has anyone heard of PTSD? (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). If this person witnessed something extremely stress provoking that involved gun shots, the sound of anything that could be even slightly corrolated with a gun shot could freak the person out. Considering they said they started crying and screaming, I would wonder if this is what happened. If that's the case, it's totally a FML.

Cry more. and #61 Stop jumping to conclusions. Use the information provided and use your best judgment on that. They didn't put anything in about PTSD or any traumatic experiences. Maybe they are just a puss and should grow up and not post retarded things like this

#7 and #12 are dumber than the OP. If they lived by your ridiculous stereotypical assumptions they would know what gunshots sound like. And if you grew up and learned the value of money you would know how ridiculously insensitive and immature "move out of the ghetto" sounds.
