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

Same thing different taste

Today, I received a message from front desk that my concerned father is trying to contact me. I call only to hear that my parents were freaking out that I wasn't answering my phone. They saw me 9 hours ago. They were going to call the police. I'm in college and also don't live with them anymore. FML

Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. FML

Bad day

By Anonymous - 12/11/2010 05:37 - United States

Today, I accidentally set off an alarm at the school I work for. No one was there, I didn't have the code or password the company needed, my boss wouldn't answer his phone, 3 policemen interrogated me and asked for ID but realized I left home without my wallet. There was nothing I could do. I cried. FML

Thanks mom

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, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML

PARTAY!

By Life of the party - 19/08/2009 05:13 - France

Today, I threw a party while my parents were gone. I forgot that our alarm automatically turns on at 11 pm, so when people opened the door, it went off. I couldn't find the number for the alarm company, so the cops showed up. Everyone started cheering because they thought they were strippers. FML

I don't know, leave me alone

Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML

Blame game

By Anonymous - 05/04/2024 05:00 - United Kingdom

Today, my dad tried to blame me for ringing an out of network number for two hours, which charged his bill by the minute. I rang the number, which turned out to belong to one of his business pals who lives abroad. He punished me anyway for having an attitude when I proved the call was his fault. FML

Today, I got a knock on my door at 3 a.m. Turns out, if I ignore my mother long enough, she will assume I have died and will call the cops. FML

Your parents sound like they're not very good at being parents. I feel sorry for you.

The police should've been able to run your name to find out where you live. Or they could've asked the alarm company, who should have the occupants listed. Or they could've asked the alarm company for homeowners information, and then questioned you to match the answers.

Well if the son at least produces an ID I'd think that would help. After all, a state-issued ID will have your address on it..

After the first time I read this post I only really thought that it just sounds like it clawed balls having to go through that for over 8 plus hours! But now after thinking about it for a second, I'm guessing you are really young...? I mean, no permit or Drivers License with your address and full name? The cops could've looked up the homeowners names and info. Also, if you w

I hope you didn't go to jail. What an irresponsible thing for adult parents to do. How the hell could you just forget you had a child that needed in the house and how do they not have caller ID or something on their phones knowing its your number. Sounds like they're stupid and selfish.

Can't they just check who lives in the house? Even if your name is not listed, shouldn't it be a terribly simple thing to look for your parents names and see if they match the house owners'?

Has anyone considered that the son is an adult who lives elsewhere now and was only watching the house or feeding animals while his parents were away? That's how I read this FML. Not that the parents locked their teenage son out of his own house. Which would also then explain how they could forget to tell him the new code.
