Today, I began to choke on a large pill while my mom was in the room. Hoping that she would help me, I began to make a lot of noise. After she completely ignored me, I threw my body over a chair, saving my life. At this point my mother asks me to shut up because she can't hear her friend. FML

Today, I had one of the worst panic attacks in years. I was worried nobody cared about me and that I had completely messed up my life. I was hyperventilating and crying hysterically. My mom walked by my room, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make those noises, at least shut the door." FML
Today, while sitting next to my mom at a restaurant, she told me to stop moving and making so much noise because, "It's distracting." The noise I was making was me breathing. I'm not even allowed to breathe. Guess I'll die. FML
Today, I crawled into my mom's room to tell her my stomach was in massive pain. She ended up throwing me out of the room while spraying me with Lysol. My appendix was about to burst and I needed surgery. FML
Today, while my friends were over, my mom took too many of her pills and walked around the house nude. She then bit me. FML
Today, I went to Walmart with my mom. At the checkout line I was eating a bag of chips as my mom bought her stuff. I inhaled while eating and I started to choke. The cashier asked me if I was OK. My mom just waved her hand, and said, "Sometimes she does that for attention, ignore her." FML
Today, I was singing while lying upside down chewing gum. My dad was trying to focus on the current football game and hushed me. I yelled, "No!" resulting in my gum becoming lodged in my windpipe. I shut up after all. FML
Today, I was drinking from a water bottle while in a lecture. The water caught in my throat and it felt like I was choking to death. Instead of asking me if I was okay or trying to help, the guy sitting next to me told me to shut up. FML
Today, my daughter wanted to show me the tooth she had just lost. As I was in a rush to leave for work, I quickly picked up and swallowed my pill that was on the kitchen table. It was only until I looked back down at the table did I see not only my pill, but one extremely angry daughter glaring at me. FML
Today, I choked on oatmeal, watered-down soupy oatmeal. It seemed to get stuck halfway down. I chucked up several spoonfuls. My wife was oblivious to all the noise I was making because she had her over-the-ear headphones on, listening to some stupid YouTube video. FML
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to assume that by "making a lot of noise," you meant banging on stuff and maybe throwing something, because if you were vocalizing, you weren't really choking. But still, I know how scary that feeling is, and it sucks your mom was a bitch about it.

One day I was basically choking on a pill and my mom asked if she should call 911 and I nodded and she said oops sorry I can't, the dogs would get upset, and walked out of the room. I (obviously) got it out myself.

If you were making noise by coughing loudly, then you weren't really choking in the first place.

You can't make noise if you're choking. Tool.

Oh, something like that actually happened to me once. I was taking a calcium pill, and I choked on it. I got it out, but it's traumatic! LOL. I'm sorry that your mom didn't help you :( At least you got it out!

o.0 I find it hilarious that the paramedic and nurse who commented here are so stupid.

Your insult to qualified medical professionals giving correct information and terrifyingly willful ignorance are both enraging and saddening. I think, with one short comment, you've actually made the world a worse place.

well, he's right. They just blabbered the same "you can't make noise" like all the other morons here without thinking for a second. If I ever have a medical emergency, I hope my life's not in the hands of those idiots.

No they didn't. And even if they had it's a valid comment. The idea that someone makes a lot of noise through coughing and spluttering whilst choking is a common misconception and one that they probably have to hear a lot more than the rest of us. I wouldn't be surprised if they were on autopilot to correct it.

you could have grabbed your throat or something to show your mom your choking. I hope she apologised later for almost letting you die
