Today, I got a knock on my door at 3AM. Turns out, if I ignore my mother long enough she will assume I have died and will call the cops. FML
I agree, your life sucks (25338) - you totally deserved it (8222)

True..."at least she cares" is of course a good thing but it CAN be annoying. :D When I was in the States last year visiting my in-laws, my Mom would keep on calling me at 3 or 4 at night. Even though I explained to her a million tims how she has to do the time difference thing...and then she bitched at me for never picking up (I always put my phone on vibrate only at night.)

I'm going to say YDI for ignoring your mother, only because he said "if you ignore her long enough" so obviously he had been doing it for a while

#59: dude it was some1 knocking at 3am. for all he knew it could have been a total stranger.
*wakes up cuz of annoying knocking.* *looks at clock.* 3am!?!?!?!? oh it must be mother..............

dude, it's your mom. of course she's gonna worry about you.. the real FML would be if she DIDN'T worry about you
#2 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:09am by ThatDopeKid
I agree, if she didn't do anything you would probably have wrote about how your life is fucked cause your mom doesn't care about you. She is your mom, you shouldn't ignore her!
not really. it'd be nice if i could go more than a week without my mom pestering me about some insipid bullshit.
although i'm guessing at some point OP's mom asked if he was okay, in which case he should have given her a quick "i'm fine" before continuing to ignore her.

My life got a lot less stressful when my mom stopped worrying about me. Freedom tastes like sweet delicious nectar.
Okay, I know OP means the person who wrote it, but what does it actually stand for?
#67 - On 08/29/2009 at 12:27pm by HMac2006
Well, don't ignore your mom. That's pretty easy, right?
#4 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:12am by DamienTheRabbit
When did she call the cops? Why would they show up at 3am? I mean, if you were really dead, you'd still be dead, at lets say... Nine. In the afternoon. (;
#5 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:13am by redbluegreen
Nine in the afternoon? They have one of those? That must be like these fabled "Sunday mornings" I have heard of but never experienced.
#15 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:25am by Intoxicunt
It's sorta like, eight days a week.
Sunday mornings remind me too much of Veggie Tales. x-x
#17 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:31am by redbluegreen
Oh, I didn't think anyone was going to get it! Thank you #57. And #5. (Unless #57 was referring to Veggie Tales. I was referring to Nine In The Afternoon. It made my day, redbluegreen.)
OP: Your mother sounds like an overprotective one. Very. She went to great lengths to make sure you were safe. Show some love for your caring mother.
Yes, I was referring to Nine in the Afternoon. I'm glad someone got it and that I made your day HeyLady42. :D
#83 - On 08/29/2009 at 11:37pm by redbluegreen
Yeah, moms are like that.
Which is why, if my mom calls, I at least pick up and say "I'm alive, gotta go."
Also I agree with the first comment,
Some parents don't even give a shit about their kids. And some kids don't even have a mom. So be grateful for your overprotected mum

you r right. that was infact the original problem...
#54 - On 08/29/2009 at 9:28am by orchids_torturer
Where does your mother work? At the movie theatre. Oh? As one of the screens.
#11 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:20am by NaziZombie
I take it you don't live with her because
1-she would've just busted the door down if it was your room in her house,
2-you would've just yelled "shut up".
Sooo, why was she at your house at 3 am?
Did she have a bad dream and need to crawl into bed with you???
#14 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:23am by Intoxicunt
Haha, she knocked on his door from her house? Gives new meaning to "long arm of the law"...
You love me? Sweeeet. :D
#36 - On 08/29/2009 at 4:45am by Intoxicunt
Pretty sure it is implying that the Cops knocked on his door. BTW, will you marry me?
#39 - On 08/29/2009 at 5:03am by passtheleino
At least your Mom cares! My Mom cut me off from all birthday/christmas money/gifts because I "don't call her anymore". It's total bullshit because I call her and text her a lot, trying to have a casual conversation, and she's too damned busy with her Farm thing on Facebook to pick up the damned phone.
At least my Dad is a decent enough man to pick up the phone or to call back.
oh ouch, that farm app on FB is retarded... your mom sucks for being addicted to a fb app...
anyways, OP, your mom needs to tame her overactive imagination, it might get her in trouble
The hypocritical irony is the fact that she used to throw a fit and ground me for spending 'too much' time on a virtual pet site instead of doing something 'constructive'. If I had the balls, I'd give her SO much crap for her Facebook farm addiction right now.
Dude, do it. She's already cut you off. You've got nothing to lose.
#30 - On 08/29/2009 at 4:27am by DameGreyWulf
Don't want to lose the privilege to actually visit once in a while! XD I'm born and raised a coward anyways. I'll say I wanna do it, but I'll never actually go through with it.
Even Dad's getting pissed off at her obsession. I don't see the marriage lasting much longer.
Next, on Divorce Court!
That's awful. Really. What site were /you/ on, just curious?
#33 - On 08/29/2009 at 4:38am by redbluegreen
HOLY SHIT! NO WAY!
I played it too. For about six years. I'm not ashamed either.
I had a feeling though. Seriously.
Be my new best friend?
#37 - On 08/29/2009 at 4:56am by redbluegreen
Hell yea!
I still go actually. Been there since 2003. Why bother leave? I have nothing better to do when I have spare time.
If you still go there, mstr_dark is my user.
I stopped playing when someone hacked my account about a year ago. D:
But seriously. No one gives it any credit, especially when we all know a bunch of us played it as a kid.
#40 - On 08/29/2009 at 5:05am by redbluegreen
Most people have forgotten that the site started out as a place for really bored college students to hang out at. They even had beer and wine items at one point! It just attracted a lot of kids, so Adam and Donna turned it into a family site.
I been hacked and frozen in the past.....doesn't keep me away though. XD
Adam and I have the same birthday. I always felt we had a connection. Hahaha. Yeah, I remember all that. The history. I remember when Maraqua was nothing. I still miss my guild. Oh and finding avatars.
Very addicting website. Seriously.
Ahahahaha, I love how we're discussing NeoPets. So great.
#44 - On 08/29/2009 at 5:12am by redbluegreen
cops at the door at 3 AM for me lead to thinking 'Oh shit what did i do... think, play it cool, remember ur mariott rights and the fifth ammendment, and im pretty sure that the 1st and 2nd ammendments apply to minors'
You're in desperate need of a civics course, my friend. Btw, the Marriott is a hotel chain.
#43 - On 08/29/2009 at 5:10am by Triumvirate
Actually, the second Amendment (the right to bear arms) doesn't really apply to minors.
#93 - On 08/31/2009 at 1:55am by moonlight_daze
this sounds like something my mother would do, although shed probably do it more out of spite than out of actual worry for me
LMAO... My mom did the same exact thing... Worst part is i was the last to call her a few days before and she said she would call me back because she couldnt talk at the moment... next thing i know my university's PD was knocking at my door... smh... lol... but u guys are right... its better to have parents that care
#32 - On 08/29/2009 at 4:33am by smooth5590
hold onto this and annoy her constantly with things like "and yes mom im alive" also will be funny if u have kids
3 a.m.? It remind me of the lyric[it's 3 a.m. in the morning, put my key in the door,bodies laying out all over the floor...'(= =)
What is it with mothers and calling the cops? I had tonsillitis a few months ago and my mom was afraid I was going to die, so when I fell asleep one afternoon and didn't answer her call she called the cops to come and make sure I wasn't "bleeding to death on the bathroom door".
I'm torn here. YDI for ignoring your mother, she cares for you and wanted to know you were safe. But that is a bit drastic for her to do. Still, it's your fault.
#61 - On 08/29/2009 at 10:57am by itissoyourfault
You realize "3am in the morning" is completely redundant, right?
#69 - On 08/29/2009 at 12:36pm by EireGoBragh
This really depends on how long OP was ignoring his mom...i mean if it was like a week or something that he just ignored her calls, then way overreaction on the mom's part. But if it was like a REALLY long time that he never talked to her, then it's a YDI....I mean, just talk to her from time to time and she won't worry! But I don't have enough information to actually make a decision here lol
FYL. yea, she cares. but there is a point where someone can care too much, and she definatly crossed that line... if someone doesnt pick up the phone.. stop calling.. because they are either busy or dont want to talk to you..
#76 - On 08/29/2009 at 3:18pm by Sverstelle
YDI hands down. Your mom is your mom is your mom. Idgaf, you don't ignore her.
#81 - On 08/29/2009 at 10:26pm by liveandletlive89
wow this is really fake. why would she call the police at 3am? even if you had been ignoring her for some time, she wouldn't pick the middle of the night to freak out,
this just makes no sense lol
#85 - On 08/29/2009 at 11:51pm by ghostgirll
At least she didn't assume you were dead and not call the cops.
No offense, but besides the fact that she's overprotective, she also seems pretty stupid. Shouldn't she have first assumed that you were possibly sleeping at three AM?
Oh, and for everyone saying "You deserve it for ignoring your mother," I don't think you're empathzing with the OP. I dont know how many of you have annoying mothers, but I do and at times it's better to ignore her than snap at her from vexation.
lmao wow that really sucks, but my mom is the same way.. I was sleeping and she called like 5 times at 7am and came all the way home from her work downtown because I didn't answer 0_o

That's what you get for breast feeding until the age of 17.
#92 - On 08/31/2009 at 1:31am by Mister_Kitty
"she will assume I have died and call the cops" LMAO!! Funny how that's the only thing she thinks of.
sounds like boyfriends crazy russian mom, all i have to say, make her stop before it puts stress on a relationship
#95 - On 08/31/2009 at 5:48pm by lukeecharms90
at least she cares because some people who dont have a mom who would call. let along call the cops to make sure their child is ohkay, i mean u cant blame her shes the one who brought you into this world. its bettter that shes over protecting then not caring at all.
#96 - On 08/31/2009 at 10:35pm by Miss_Makay
Since I moved away, my mother has done that same thing twice.
#97 - On 09/04/2009 at 5:09pm by Violet_Grace
why didn't the OP's mum just go to his/her house and check for herself?!
