Today, I took my dogs to an empty park. While they were running around, I laid down in the grass to read a book. Someone thought I was a dead body and called the cops. The police and paramedics showed up. This is the second time it's happened. FML

haha WTF who sees someone reading and assumes it's a dead body without even going closer or yelling "hey! you okay over there?" or...something? were you in a really bad part of town where people find dead bodies frequently?

I think he must just look like a homeless hobo and no one wants to walk over and see if he's ok...

How were you positioned for this person to think you were dead? They must have been far away and didn't bother to investigate. If they did they would have at least been within earshot for you to hear them call the police

Not just move but... How were you positioned for them to think you were dead? I really wanna see this.. Somehow I feel like you deserve this.. I'm not sure why.. But if it's happened before.. I just feel like you're causing this somehow..

No I meant as in a regular park not a dog park as I said in the original comment :)

Yeah I read dog park at first from op, and I thought the fail was going to be about laying down in a dog park. I was surprised by the ending.

Doesn't whoever make the call get in trouble for the false alarm? I've always wondered about this...

only if they knew it wasn't a dead body. accidents happen!

Yes, accidents happen, but this is not an accident. It is easy to check to see if a body is dead or breathing/moving/reading, etc.

the 2nd time?!?!?! and you're a jerkoff for letting your dogs crap all over a park.

It's called picking up after your pets, genius.

just because people should pick up after their pets doesn't mean they actually do

That isn't the point. The guy hurled an insult at the OP when that information isn't even available; it's called "giving the benefit of the doubt."

**** you matressmuncher go find someone else to shit on! We all know that almost everyone on fml is on to argue with people in the comments

How would the OP be in a position for people to mistake her for a dead body? Someone would have to notice.

The guy who called the police might not have recognized the odd collection of papers the "dead" person was looking at. There are 9 year olds who seriously don't know what bookmarks are.

Bookmarks like those in your internet browser? :D
