Today, while visiting family, we went to a restaurant to eat. Towards the end of the meal, I went to use the restroom. When I came back, everyone was gone. Everyone had actually gotten into their cars and left without me. I have no idea where I am and no one is answering their phone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, our family went out to a restaurant at night. My cousin and I needed to go to the restroom, so we told everyone before going. Less than three minutes later, we came out to find them gone, along with the cars. They forgot about their own kids. FML
Today, my family and I drove to a mall an hour away. We split up, and I went into a store by myself. A little later, I get a call from my brother asking me where I am. They had already left to go home and didn't notice me missing from the car. They were already halfway home. FML
Today, my parents started fighting at a restaurant. Embarrassed, I went to the restroom to get away and stayed in there for about 15 minutes, knowing how long their fights can last. When I came back, they were gone. They'd ditched me, and left me to walk several miles back home. FML
Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML
Today, I asked my mother if we were eating supper soon so I could take a nap. She said no so I went into my room and fell asleep. When I woke up, everybody was gone. My entire family of 6 went to Olive Garden while I was sleeping. FML
Today, I did a "dine and dash" and left my phone in the restaurant. The owner answered my phone call. FML
Today, and after a lot of effort to reconnect with my family after a while of limited contact, I found out from the family group text that my mom, sister, and grandmother went on a vacation without me, and I didn’t even know about it until they posted some airport selfies. FML
Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML
Today, I got lost in a foreign city while on vacation and couldn't communicate with anyone, because I didn't speak the language and no one seemed to be able, or even wanted, to speak to me in mine. FML
Today, I went to visit my parents after 4 years of not seeing them. They'd moved without telling me. FML

Hey, buy yourself a desert. You deserve one, Fyl.

I'm not sure how good that would taste. That would be quite sandy for my liking

Yeah, all that Sand and Cacti. I'd love to buy the desert in Arizona!

When you do get home, give them the BIGGEST bitch-out of your life.

If they're anything like my family, they'd make sarky jokes like "no one missed you anyway, we should've just left you there."

...they did leave him there

Oh Mauskau and to think how normal you turned out. My family wouldn't be like that. Except my mom - she actually makes it look sarky because her concern is over the top. "Oh baby you were lost and we were going to call the cops!" "Ma, I drove us here, calm down."

It's not a great or even okay prank either way.

I'm glad you got out of this one alive. I've seen enough horrer movies to know this could have taken a turn for the worst.

What really happened is you broke the time-space continuum and entered the alternative reality! Your family just never existed here.
