Today, my mom made me clean. I was dusting in the living room and heard gunshots outside the apartment. I dove on the floor and started crying and screaming. My mom walked in and informed me that the sound was her making popcorn. FML

So if there were a person in your house shooting, it's good to know you'd be lying on the floor bawling. In other words, an easy target.

Aww, it happens. You get scared by small things. No worries. (:

what kind of gun did you think it was? that's what im wondering... sadly though i can't think of a handgun that sounds remotely like popped corn. w/e that is hilarious though, thanks for sharing.

Are you serious, I live in the ghetto and I don't even hit the deck for gunshots lol

#91, that doesn't make you badass, that just makes you stupid.

#92 fml didnt let me edit my comment, I knew youd come along, argh you They never shoot in my street but a few streets behind me, thats why I don't get scared. =/

The term for this is Hoplophobia. It's an irrational fear of weapons and it is treatable. Get counseling before it becomes debilitating.

ps. its rare that a gun would fire as many times as it takes a bag of popcorn to pop. how long was it popping before you realize this.

..you need to go outside into the real world
