Today, I heard a baby crying while I was walking down the street. I walked around until I found it. In a dumpster. I immediately called the cops, completely freaking out. When the cops came, they pulled the baby out of the dumpster. It was a plastic baby doll. FML

Today, my class got baby dolls for the week to teach us how to be good parents. After school, I went to the store with my mom with the baby doll. When I got home, I realized that I left the baby doll in a shopping cart. FML

Today, I saw a lady with a stroller in the park. She stopped at the water fountain and got a drink, then left without her baby. I ran to the stroller and started rolling it after her. Two grown men attacked me, accusing me of trying to steal said baby. Turns out it was a baby doll. FML

Today, I found a baby in a cradle on my doorstep. I was shocked that someone would do this, so I picked it up and uncovered the baby. It was actually a rudimentary stink bomb that went off in my face when I uncovered it. FML

Today, I passed a car, and heard a baby crying in the back seat. It was hot and no one was around. All the doors were locked so I broke it with a rock, cutting my arm and setting the alarm off. Only to find out that it was a realistic baby doll. I have to get 7 stitches and pay for the window. FML

Today, I was babysitting to make a few extra dollars. While changing one of the kid's diapers, I turned around to find the other kid gone. I turned back around frantically, only to get poop flung at my face. I guess I found him. FML

Bad boy

Today, when I went to pick my kid up from daycare, I found out that he had run away. The rest of my afternoon consisted of me screaming his name, looking for him. I then returned to the daycare center. He thought it would be funny if he hid in the trash. FML

Today, I was babysitting a 5 year old boy. When I was on the phone with my mom, he called 911 and started to cry. When I got off the phone the police were at the door. It turns out that the "emergency" was that the VCR was not working. FML

Today, it was an unusually hot day and I saw one of my friends walking down the street carrying a large bag. I stopped and asked if he needed a ride. When he got in, I noticed a horrible stench. He then told me he'd just been dumpster diving. FML

Today, I was taking a dump behind a dumpster. I suddenly heard a noise and a vibration against the dumpster. It was a garbage truck lifting it to collect the trash. The garbage men started laughing and took out their phones. FML

You should have looked inside because if there really was a baby I would have went straight in, not wait for the cops.

You should've checked mate, but your heart's in the right place. I think. If it was a real baby, it could've died between the time you heard it and the time the police came in.

Honestly people, do you not exercise common sense?! OP did the right thing by waiting for the police. If the baby had been real, jumping into the dumpster and shifting through it to find the baby could've easily caused more harm than good. He could've possibly stepped on it, fallen on it, or suffocated it by shifting plastic bags. The baby could've been injured and him shifting and moving it could mean death. He was right to be cautious.

Wouldn't you be able to tell between a plastic baby doll's cry and a real one? A Plastic baby doll's cry is recorded and usually repeats the same voice patterns over and over.

So if it would've been real you would've waited for cops to take him/her out of the dumpster? YDI

God I hate how some idiots keep saying that the OP is an idiot for not pulling the baby out or trying to look at it. If some of you would read at least some of the comments before posting you can see why: - dumpsters are huge! I sure as hell cant get in one, let alone look inside of one. The OP could be short. - so what if it was a real baby? going inside of a dumpster to pull out a live possibly injured human being could cause even more damage. Once you get inside the dumpster and get the baby, how are you gonna get out safetly? and getting in a dumspter could move stuff around and harm the baby even more or cause the harm -even if the OP could see in the dumspter, maybe they were scared? If the child could of been badly injured and it might not of been a good sight. Luckily the circumstances werent like that. -waiting for professionals to come and deal with this is the right thing to do! Want to know why? Because they would know what exactly to do in a situation like this more than some random person who just happened to walk by.
