Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML

Today, after applying at over 30 businesses over the past 6 months, I have had not one single call. I later find out that I was using my old phone number on the applications, and my secondary phone was my mom's. She thought they were telemarketers. FML

Today, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone call. They were impressed with me. That's when my son decided to throw a tantrum asking for food. After some silence, the caller told me they were looking for someone who wasn't juggling little kids at home and hung up. My son is 20. FML

Today, I got a call from "No Caller ID", which usually only shows up when someone calls from my house phone. Thinking it was my kids, I answered imitating a cartoon voice. It wasn't my kids. It was the district attorney's office calling about the job I applied for. FML

Today, I got a call from my parents' divorce lawyer. When I answered the phone, she thought I was my mother and told me the details about my parent's divorce. I'm a 13-year-old boy who sounds like a woman and just learned that my parents are separating. FML

Today, I found out that my parents changed the code on our alarm system while they were out of town. The police could not verify I was their son, despite spending hours trying to get hold of them. They thought it was just another telemarketer. FML

My mom is in here 30's and takes advantage of that. She says my parents aren't home try calling later and they stop calling. You should use it toward your advantage. Use the force

Better than people sternly asking you "Shouldn't you be in school, young lady?" Good ol' middle finger always helps clear up that misunderstanding.

It's fairly easy, whether or not the person on the other end is able to see it...... Well, there lies your problem.

Blah, I meant "At least people don't tell you to your face that you're younger than you are in a condescending tone. The appropriate answer to that would be presenting your third digit to them in irritation." Like, not on the phone. When that happens on the phone, I just pretend I'm mentally ill and threaten kitchen appliances.

Tell the telemarketer you're a police officer and both the people they were trying to contact have been murdered. After that, say they were spouse swappers and ask the telemarketer if he/she was one of the dead people's lovers then continue 'interrogation' until they hang up. I did that at my friend's house, the guy never called back.

That's not as bad as having to say "Hang on let me get my parents," at age 25.

Today, my daughter wanted to show me the tooth she had just lost. As I was in a rush to leave for work, I quickly picked up and swallowed my pill that was on the kitchen table. It was only until I looked back down at the table did I see not only my pill, but one extremely angry daughter glaring at me. FML
