Today, my grandfather showed up at my house in a panic. He rushed over, with a gun, because I wasn't answering his texts and he thought something had happened to me. I was asleep. FML

Today, while having lunch with my grandparents, my grandpa's eyes glazed over, his head fell and he slumped in his chair. I started panicking and almost cried, thinking he was dead. Then he laughed and said "Just kidding. I'm fine." FML

Today, someone knocked on my door. I yelled "Yeah?" while getting up, since it was locked. My grandpa walked in, as I apparently didn't actually lock it. I was naked. FML

Today, I received a phone call from my 91-year-old grandpa. He was lost driving somewhere in my town. I then spent the next few hours trying to teach him how to send his location until his phone died. FML

Today, I woke up at three in the morning when two cops busted in the door to my apartment and a frantic voice on my cellphone saying "Sir? Sir? Are you all right? Sir?" Turns out I had been having a nightmare and dreamed I called 911. I actually did. FML

Today, my phone rang while I was home alone. When I picked up, all I could hear was heavy breathing. Convinced it was one of my friends playing a joke, I said loudly, "Get off the phone, you fucker, and don't call back!" It turned out it was my grandma. She had been having a stroke. FML

Today, I told my dad I couldn't make the trip to see him this weekend because I had to work. I surprised him by driving ten hours, and while he was out, I let myself in with my key and hid behind the couch for when he came in. He walked in. I jumped out. I then had to call 911. FML

No better alarm clock than a crazy old guy with a gun!!! You'll be out of your bed and out the door before you can say "Don't shoot me Gramps!"

I can totally relate to the situation. After having lunch with my family in Long Beach California many years ago we each drove our separate ways back to our respective homes over two hours apart. After not answering my cell phone for a couple hours my mother had called every police station California Highway Patrol and sheriffs department between Long Beach and San Diego. I know the feeling.

Hey, guys, OP here. Didn't think this would be posted. Thanks for the awesome comments. I'm definitely grateful I've got a grandpa who thinks about my safety, but his concerns can become a little irritating as was this incident. He's always been a nut about his guns and isn't afraid to threaten to use them. I usually don't stay up past 10 or 11 P.M unless I'm really busy, and he barged into my room around 1 A.M., lecturing me (Bonus: while I had no pants on) on how I should turn my phone's volume up. He knows I always have my ringer on so I can hear it if I'm in a different room, but he's just paranoid about the crime rate in surrounding communities. He apologized through text after getting back home, so everything's good now.

I'd say overreaction and over protective on his part still...u need to speak to his son/daughter(your parent) about him

Why was he calling you that late? Unless it was an emergency, he shouldn't be calling you when he knows your asleep, let alone charging into your room with a gun and lecturing you for not returning a text. I'd have an extra talk about boundaries, and the concept of "not available right now." What the heck did grandpa do in the time before cell phones? Follow everyone around all the time just in case he needed to get in touch with them?
