Kids: Today, I heard a baby crying while I was walking down the street....

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.

#289 Some of us have been saying this all along. Unfortunately, most people don't bother to read comments or use common sense. They are just getting off on being nasty because they seriously believe that in that situation, they would be such big, bad heroes. I wonder how many of them would report the dead baby in the dumpster after they jumped in and the rubbish crushed the kid.

YDI for not checking if it was a real baby or not

I hate those fake babies from the high school days, but still you could have at least pulled the baby out yourself.

You never know with those parenting class babies anymore. The OP could be wayy to short to get in, or even look into a dumpster. I'm 5'5, and I can't. Plus, like others have been saying, jumping could have crushed the baby, and even pulling the baby out could rip it apart on the garbage. At least it wasn't a real baby. But you have a good heart.

I can only imagine how happy the cops must have been to see a plastic doll.

You didn't try to save the baby yourself? You're lame.

You heard a baby crying in the dumbster...ok. You called the cops...ok. You didn't pull it out or even look to see if it was ok and not suffocating, and obviously didn't check on it...U R A ******* IDIOT!!! Cops take at least 3-5 mins on average to respond unless they r around the corner even if it was 1-2 baby could have suffocated I hope the cops gave u a ticket for something for being an idiot or at least put u in the dumpster before leaving!
