Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML
Today, I called my mother to say hi. She spent a whole hour and a half complaining about how I never call her, bawling and calling me "a waste of human flesh." I call her at least once a week. FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I'm coming over for a visit. She answered: 'Why? What do you need? Food? Money? I'm not going to help you! You're a grown woman!' And she hung up. I just found out that I'm pregnant and she was the first person I wanted to share it with. FML
Today, I called my mom from Australia. I have been abroad for two months and hadn't talked to her in a long time. A few minutes into the conversation my moms stops me and says this call must cost a fortune and hangs up on me. A few bucks in more important to her then me. FML
Today, I texted my mom and had to explain to her that calling me repeatedly at 2 a.m. because you're bored and want to talk is not really a good idea. Seriously, nothing happened, she just wanted to chat because she had nothing else to do. Her response to my message? She started calling me again. FML
Today, while I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my phone rang. She immediately exclaimed, "I'm not calling you! Why is it going off?" She was serious. My own mother doesn't believe people talk to me. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her about my terminal cancer diagnosis. She responded with, "What makes you think I care at all?" before hanging up. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML

The point of this FML is not whether the mother was too paranoid about swine flu. The point is she hung up on her own child as soon as she knew there was no emergency. OP, that really really sucks. FYL.

OP: You sound like your annoying. Even your mom doesn't want to hear you talk about yourself on-and-on over the phone. Peter Griffin: "So... whatchya doin?, I just called to talk." // 678-tripple9-8212

This is why the media are ****. People are panicking over a mild flu which isnt even pandemic.

I agree with #18 - it may sound mean, but maybe if you were in the habit of calling your mother more often, she would talk to you.

Probably wouldn't happen if you'd call your poor mom more often. Then she wouldn't find it strange that you call, unless you (probably) want something.
