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

Wild Nights Out
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't really have anything to say about the asking if you have swine flu thing.. cause it is serious but she shouldn't have hung up on you for no reason, could have atleast made an excuse to get off :/ FYL

#6 - There actually has been quite a few cases now and its spreading pretty quickly. This is why they've actually shut down quite a few schools all over the country.

SWINE FLU IS SRS BZNS. This made me laugh, but your mom obviously wanted to know about how you are doing with the swine flu going around.

if this flu wasn't so serious why the hell would there be so much coverage on it the only reason it keeps spreading because uncaring people like half of you that have posted here don't care if they spread around the disease or not i bet you are those people that don't cover their mouths when they cough ******* gross

There was something amost exactly like this other week, except the daugter was in Australia. I doubt she hung up on you. Get over yourself. And to #26, there's so much coverage on the swine because the media likes to exagerate what they don't understand and blow things completely out of proportion. End of story.

okay that's pretty harsh of your mom. Can I just say: Swine flu is just like any other flu, it spreads incredibly easily and it can kill you if you don't treat it quickly enough...like with any other flu! But it's not a big deal like this media is making out. I'll tell you what they're doing The Gvt has stocks worth millions of dollars of Tamiflu which is a vaccine used to treat this flu. They're using this virus and the media to sell out this drug. don't worry people, you're not gonna die. If you contract the virus, you will know and you'll get the vaccine because of the hissy-fit the media is having.

AHAHAH! omg that's so funny because my mom did the SAME thing to my brother who's in college. she called him to ask if anyone of his roommates or friends has the swine flu. apparently he was joking around and said "yes" and my mom FLIPPED out!...she tends to over react a lot...

Maybe you should call your mom more often so that she doesn't think the only reason you have to call is something wrong.
