Today, my mother shared my phone number with my brother, despite my explicit wishes that she didn't. He immediately went and put it on Craigslist and several other websites. This is the fourth time I've had to change my number for that very same reason. FML

Today, someone posted online a listing for a bicycle for sale, and accidentally put my phone number instead of their own. I have received more calls in one day than I have from friends and family in a week. FML

Stop calling

Today, I've changed my number twice already. When I asked why the insurance agent gave my contact details away without my consent, she replied, "But he seemed so concerned about you!" I suddenly wish there was a serial killer list I can upload her personal information to. Not that I'll actually do it, but fuck you. FML

Today, after I had changed my number to get away from my abusive ex, my mom decided to give him my new one. She insists that I need to give him another chance. FML

Today, my friend put my phone number on Craigslist. I still can't find the ad, but obviously everyone else can because I still haven't stopped receiving naked pictures. FML

Today, I had to change my mobile number because I was getting abuse from a guy, so I sent my new number to all of the people on my contact list. Including him. FML

Today, I found my mother wandering the halls of my fraternity unescorted and asked why she was here, she told me she was concerned when I didn't pick up my phone for two days. She then informed me that she had also moved to the same city I live in. My mother moved over 600 miles to stalk me. FML

Today, my mother yet again chose to put my brother's junkie of an ex-girlfriend's needs and happiness above mine, despite the fact that she's stolen thousands of dollars and anything else of value from my mom's house. FML

I would do the same thing back to him. May not be the most mature approach but he'll probably learn his lesson.

Change your number again and don't give it to them this time.

You don't need a new number. You need a new family.

Unfortunately, she can't change her family, so she'll just have to settle for a new number. *sigh* If only, if only...

Or just pretend to have amnesia and try to forget, and whenever you're confronted just deny deny deny!

You probably should have got the idea that she would have done it the second time around.

It's your fault. If this has happened before you shouldn't give anyone your phone number.

What's the point in having a phone number if you don't give it to anyone? It's pretty likely that it went something like - the first time she changed the number even she wouldn't have known it was coming and wouldn't have likely expected him to do it again, she just wanted people to stop calling her. She probably wasn't even trying to keep her new number a secret then. But then when he did it again she might have told her mum not to give it to him again, but not necessarily why. But he convinced her it was okay somehow and did it again - that's the third time. Then probably she explained to her mother that she really, seriously, did not want her brother to have the number, and trusted that now that she had explained properly her mum would keep it to herself. You know, because it's her mother, and most people trust their parents. But her mother sucks and gave it to him again anyway, and now OP is posting on FML, having only just learned that her mother is in fact a dick rather than just didn't understand the situation.
