Today, I had a police officer come to my house because I've been reported missing. My friends online decided to call the police because I haven't signed in for 6 days. FML
I agree, your life sucks (18774) - you totally deserved it (3514)

In what way does it suck?
Holy shit, you have friends that actually care about you. Your love sucks! I clicked FML because you don't deserve your friends.

Seriously! It's not even that he doesn't deserve them, it's that he is so boring that he can't see how this is an amazingly funny story that his life sucks.
it sucks because her friends assume she has no life, obviously.
If i dont log on for a week, no one cares. because i have real life friends.

come to think of it, i haven't seen allmidnighteyes lately. has anyone else?
omg let's call 911 and tell them "allmidnighteyes is missing, he hasn't commented in days, something must be wrong"
Agreed, you probably deserve it for spending your life on the internet. Actually, i take that back, since im religiously reading updated FMLs every day :)
Get a life?
Gee, that sounds like a good idea! Maybe she should not log on for 6 days-Oh wait.
She probably just quit. And got a life.
Theory fail.
#48 - On 11/07/2009 at 1:07pm by Ohnothingreally
LOL i understand them. i was starting to get really worried cuz my friend is in a bad relationship and hadn't logged in for a week xD
So they knew enough about you for a cop to come to your door but they couldn't find your phone number to just call first?
I think if they know the full name and the city they live in, age, and so on the cops can figure out the address easily in an emergency.
#6, thats what I was thinking. I guess maybe your right though 22. Though who gives out the city they live in to random people on the internet?
#39 - On 11/07/2009 at 11:00am by Sun_Kissed18
Well Facebook list the person's current city. And they may have had where they live come up in conversation.
not much of an FML, it sounds like you just need to get a life. At least thay noticed, som people wouldn't from the FML's I've read previously.
#11 - On 11/07/2009 at 6:08am by haha_ydi_bitch
They care enough that they were worried about you but were stupid enough to not try to contact you another way before calling the police?
Not really an f my life, more like f my friends for lacking common sense.
I'd guess it's more likely they were worried for some reason (did the poster leave stupid messages on myspace or facebook before vanishing?) and they got no responses to regular contact (phone/text/email/fb)
#17 - On 11/07/2009 at 6:36am by georgiepie
I think they were probably only online friends so they didn't have any other contact info. Judging by other FMLs people sometimes make and keep friendships through the internet alone...
#40 - On 11/07/2009 at 11:07am by pikantna777
I don't know about other people, but I do have a large group of online-only friends and the ones who would do this for me all have my cell number along with e-mail addresses. Some have house phone number. So the OP fails at having online friends...
#49 - On 11/07/2009 at 1:09pm by LemonFairy
Sure, it's embarrassing to have the police show up looking for you, but at the heart of the matter is the fact that you have people who care about you.
You have some idiot friends. You should've told them you were getting laid for 6 days.
#14 - On 11/07/2009 at 6:21am by SenGaeriel
Sounds like something that might happen to me. Last time I spent three days or so without logging in, when I came back I found out my friends thought I'd gotten in an accident or something and were all worried. (This shows you how much I'm normally online...)
It's cute, but it's definitely fml-y in a situation like the OP's.
Sounds like half a story honestly, who gives a shit if people cared enough about you to get worried. YDI
#16 - On 11/07/2009 at 6:34am by georgiepie
how is that fuck my life? you're friends like you =____________________=
thats more like
love my life
How is this an FML? You have friends who care about you and you obviously have a busy life, which is good! WHat do you want no friends or friends who do not notice you're gone? Or no job/school/whatever it is you do?
#21 - On 11/07/2009 at 7:26am by capricaz
they must have been scared that u actually have/got a life....
this is not a fyl..
xx
#23 - On 11/07/2009 at 7:43am by kravitzz1990
I like how a lot of people associate being online everyday for any amount of time is the equivalent of having no life at all.
at least they didn't report your car as stolen so next time you get pulled over you get yanked out of your own car at gunpoint. :-o
#29 - On 11/07/2009 at 8:43am by Butcher_1419
Haha. You're friends are quite amusing. Be thankful that they care. Give me a break.
#33 - On 11/07/2009 at 9:23am by blastvortex
Atleast your friends care about you, and since you weren't online they were with you. And atleast that you ACTUALLY HAVE friends, most people on FML complain about not having nice friends, or friends period.
Noo Thisd only be a FYL if you WERE missing and NO ONE cared!!!
So yeah you got feiends who cares THATS rare in life!!
#36 - On 11/07/2009 at 9:45am by Cristaderzi
Pfft at least your friends care. Oh wait, see if they care anymore after they see this. Good luck with that. ;D
#42 - On 11/07/2009 at 11:49am by YarMyNameIs
Today, I realized I have friends who care about me. FML
Sounds like you spend too much time on the web, and that's just not healthy. FYL indeed.
#45 - On 11/07/2009 at 12:31pm by JoeDotPadilla
Damn. They are super lucky you didn't have your indoor grow system partly detectable through the basement window.. thanks to that gust of wind that moved the curtains ever so slightly. Your online friends could have busted you in real life :]
A similar situation actually happened to me before. It's really annoying. People are stupid.
#54 - On 11/07/2009 at 1:50pm by GriefBacon
Well, maybe next time you should;
a. Answer your phone.
b. Text people back.
c. Not leave cryptic suicide messages like an attention whore.
d. Leave a site like a normal person.
e. Understand that they did it because they cared.
Oh and you should understand that they won't care again. Just remember that.
It's much funnier when you know the whole story.
#55 - On 11/07/2009 at 1:52pm by Anobodyohai
I'll be the first to apologize for even thinking of doing such a horrific thing, and those people will make sure they never do it again considering you've spread it all across the internet. FML.
I'm done. Goodbye.
At least they cared about you enough to find out enough information about you to actually *call* the cops :/ If all you can do is say that your life sucks just because your online friends care about you, then you probably don't deserve them in the first place.
#62 - On 11/07/2009 at 3:23pm by the_redQUEEN
Don't worry, the next time you leave vaguely-suicidal comments before vanishing for several days and being unreachable by phone or email, we'll just forget about it.
People cared enough about you to get worried, that's not a FML. That's a YDI for completely destroying your friendships. Because I know I'm done with you.
Peace out.
#65 - On 11/07/2009 at 4:13pm by jungleman42
not an fml...
your friends care about you
its' a good thing>
#66 - On 11/07/2009 at 5:38pm by vodka_hearts
Oh noes, peoples care about you!
Fuck you asshole. I've seen people turn to rot before their friends called the cops.
#69 - On 11/07/2009 at 7:44pm by FoundManyLemons
Taken literally, that last sentence is really disturbing.
#71 - On 11/07/2009 at 7:57pm by unpossible
Lawls. DRAMA. OH NOES, THE COPS WERE CALLED TO YOUR HOUSE BECAUSE PEOPLE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD.
It's funny how you are spreading the falsity of what really happened. You gave out your phone number to us freely because we all did become friends. You disappeared after freaking out and leaving a suicidal message. Then you said you were too busy to answer people, but yet you weren't that busy to log onto a mule and view your own profile to see who all was leaving you concerned messages.
Don't worry, we're done, drama queen. Go and lie to other people.
#70 - On 11/07/2009 at 7:54pm by YuufaIsDrama
People on the internet can be paranoid,thinking someone is dead just because they haven't signed on to a website for some time,but this is just taking it too far!
"911,what is your emergency?"
"I think my friend went missing!"
"What makes you think that?"
"She hasn't signed on to Facebook for about 6 days and I'm worried!"
"Miss,do you know this woman in real life?"
"No,but this is not like he-"
*911 operator hangs up*
#73 - On 11/07/2009 at 8:30pm by SGTSlaughter
GUYS!!! This is an obvious fake! 1. How would your friends think that if they knew you personally, they could visit you or call you, making sure your ok or at least talk to the neighbors. 2. No social networking site allows private information like, "This is Tchernov, he lives in Sesame street, adress is 900325." If they did they'd be sued in about 5 seconds when they go online, so they're is no way the police can know unless you know the adress of the friend, WHICH leads to number 1. 3. The police don't waste they're time on stupid evidence like that, now if you called them to arrest you for no reason, sure they'd arrest you, but if you haven't heard them on facebook or twitter for 6 DAYS, they'll say bull, and hang up, cause obviously the person could've gone on vacation (You shouldn't tell people you're vacationing anyways, that's asking wierdo internet physcos to hack your account for your adress and nuke your house.) or is readying to quit the network, or you know just busy. This is really bullsh!t.
Trust me, it's not fake. As one of those "friends" I can say it's a half-truth in order to make the poster look good. It completely misses the part about the poster leaving suicidal messages, vanishing and not answering calls/texts before the police were resorted to. In that case the cops would treat it seriously.
#76 - On 11/07/2009 at 10:44pm by jungleman42
#75 you are dumb. Here's why.
1. OP CLEARLY states that they were online friends.
2. Facebook, a social networking site, allows users to put up their address, telephone number, basically any info they want to share.
3. Police would definitely take it serious. All anyone would have to say is "I am concerned about my friend. She hasn't been heard from in 6 days and no one can find her."
4. Your reply was very hard on the eyes.
@76: Wow, just wow... if you're serious than you are fail.
@79: 1. SO WHAT if they're online friends, doesn't mean they know each other personally and know what they do all the time. 2. I think it would be f'd up to put your adress, phone numbers, etc all over the internet, you know you're screwed if you do that, and what I don't get, is that you act like you know it's Facebook this guy is on, it could be YouTube, OmgPop, Twitter, etc. 3. how would police take this serious,"Hello 911, I'm quite concerened about something, my friend has been online on (the SNS) for 6 days, I thinks he lost or dead!" I mean really... really?! 6 days is not even a week!!! That's the most ridoculous reason to execute a search mission, and if you think saying "I'm concerened," is gonna be the magic words for the police force, you're screwed. 4. If it's hard on your eyes than get some eye drops :).
/facepalm.
1. You mentioned that it was clearly fake because the OP's friends would have went to her house to check on her. I then stated that they were online friends. It's quite possible that they don't even live in the same state.
2. Facebook gives you the option to put whatever info you want on it's site. It also gives you the option of only showing your info to certain people.
And I never said that I knew it was Facebook. You said that NO social networking site is allowed to have personal info such as their address displayed or they could be sued. I was pointing out that you are an idiot and you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
3. Anywhere in that example did I put that the person has to say " My ONLINE friend"? No I didn't. Learn how to read.
Six days is long enough for the police to check up at the home of the person. And yes, if you say you are worried about your friend because no one has heard from them for six days, the police will take you seriously.
4. Maybe you should learn how not to write responses in a douchebag format. :)
So they called the police because you hadn't signed in in 6 days, right? Which sort of implies that you're normally on constantly, right? So basically your friends called the police because you thought, "What am I doing on here all the time? I should get a life."
....And your point is? Big whoop. Your friends care about you. Yeehaw let's throw a party. But seriously, okay, your friends got worried. No need to think you need to fuck your life. This site needs a "Who Cares?" Button, but until then, YDI for thinking your life is fucked up because your friends care.
#81 - On 11/08/2009 at 9:39am by iSariiLovesYoux3
Scratch the FML! "I'm glad my friends care about me so much. MLIA."
#83 - On 11/08/2009 at 12:58pm by musicguyguy
Just because you're ass doesn't sign in for six days, doesn't mean you're dead...but rather found a fucking life!
#85 - On 11/08/2009 at 10:31pm by HighLife19
words cannot describe how hilarious and pathetic this is..... Sorry.......
#86 - On 11/09/2009 at 12:14am by Guitarist45
Man this so pathetic... yet hilarious. One because the OP is a dick 'oh no, I have friends that care enough to be worried about me! What fucking terrible friends that they'd want to be sure that I'm okay!" and second because all the friends commented and the OP got dumped out for being an ungrateful cock.
"Today, I got kidnapped by a mental hobo who locked me up for a week, but my friends didn't care enough to notice. FML."
Wait, what? Why did I type that last bit?
#88 - On 11/09/2009 at 11:45am by BritishHobo
YDI for giving people you don't know your address and also being such a nerd that if your not online for almost a week they think your dead
wow. way to be ungrateful.
How old are you like 15?
according to your friends you're making suicidal comments then disappearing for 6 days?
no kidding people would worry for you.
that's awfully attention seeking if you ask me...
But I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think you'll be hearing from them anymore from what I've seen of their comments...

#93 - On 11/10/2009 at 8:21am by sickofdrama
This is why im not on crap like facebook... or myspace.. or hi5... or friendster.. or bebo.. or xanga.. or livejournal.. or any of that. I was tired of people going "are you dead?!" after I didn't sign on for a week, and the way people live their lives on them, if you're not on there 24/7, you don't exist. I would just rather not exist to those people or find better ways to interact with people. I remember when I was first going online, these sites weren't really popular and I used aim for my friends. Other then that we talked on the phone, IMed, emailed, and *gasp* hung out and talked face to face. So I remember what it was like just before and right after all of these social networks become huge... and I MUCH prefer the before =/
#94 - On 11/10/2009 at 12:57pm by primogen18
so it was your wow account that you haddent sighned into in a few days...these things do happen when you ignor your giuld....
