Today, I fell asleep on the couch. My parents didn't wake me up, went to bed and set our burglar alarm. If I trip a motion sensor, a siren will go off. The motion sensor in my living room is pointed directly at me and I have to pee. It's been 2 hours. FML

Today, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to find that I had slept through my house getting robbed. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water. Groggy and disoriented, I bumped into several pieces of furniture and made a lot of noise. My dad woke up, mistook me for a burglar, and knocked me out with his fist. FML
Today, I installed motion sensor lights in my house to save on energy. When I laid down in bed, I saw the lights turn on from downstairs to the kitchen. I live alone. FML
Today, I'm staying in a hotel where the lights are automatic. They turn on when something moves and turn off when everything is still. I'm a sensitive sleeper and I move in my sleep, so the light wakes me up. It's currently 2 a.m. and all together I've gotten about 20 minutes of sleep. FML
Today, I finally managed to sleep, after two days of being kept awake by the miniature floodlights my neighbors have installed to scare off burglars. Only a couple of hours into my sleep, I woke up to the sound of their car being broken into. FML
Today, my dad reactivated a digital clock we had lying around, and accidentally set an alarm on it. For 1 a.m.. So guess who went hunting for that noise in the middle of night. And guess who banished the thing to the living room, then forgot about it, and slept on the sofa in said living room. Or tried to. FML
Today, I'm dead on my feet. My flatmate's alarm went off for 20 minutes at 5 a.m., which I heard and he didn't. A car alarm went off outside my window for half an hour at 7 a.m. My building fire alarm went off twice, at 8 and 8:10 a.m. Just let me sleep. FML
Today, after being on vacation for a week, my alarm sounded early in the morning. It scared me so badly I peed myself. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the couch while babysitting. When the kids' parents came home, they made fake crying noises to see if I would wake up. I slept like a baby, and by the time they finally roused me, I'd left a nice drool stain on the armrest. FML
Today, I woke up in a panic to what sounded like a plane about to crash into my house. I was so scared, I peed myself and passed out. It was just my cell phone vibrating under my pillow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wouldn't hold it in if I were you, it's just a siren, not a cage of lions.

Don't u have a password to shut off the alarm?...

Who sets the motion sensor on when they are at home? There is a reason alarms come with two different settings. Home and away. If they set the sensor on id trip it. Maybe they will learn the difference then.

umm hello, if your parents set it properly, the motion sensor shouldn't be on at night

Then how do they normally turn it off? I assume the control is near the door or somewhere accessible from the living room. Even if you didn't know the code, there has to be some time between it going off and you being able to get one of your parents to turn it off. Overall, I'm not impressed by your reasoning. I would have just gotten up regardless.

You have to know the code to your alarm

"MOTION sensor" would indicate that the alarm will go off if it senses MOVEMENT, not sound. Why didn't you just yell after your parents instead of sitting there silently for 2 hours? If you don't know the alarm code (which is possible) your parents do, and have a moment between the alarm detecting them and then going off, which would have saved you the pain of waiting unnecessarily in the dark ;) That's what would have happened in the morning anyway, someone should've turn it off at some point, so it's just absolutely unuseful to stay and wait ^^ I have the same type of alarm in my house, so that's what I would've done. I'm assuming OP wrote the FML in a funny way rather than the accurate version of what happened. Or at least I hope he did, otherwise, YDI for not being really smart on that one ...

Almost sounds planned like they meant to leave you there.

Just get up and go? Don't see the problem here, their fault for setting the alarm. Most motion sensors would go off with you just turning over anyway.

My houses alarm gives us a few minutes to disarm it with the password before notifying the police. I'd get up, let it scare the shit out of your parents and then shut it off before the police get notified.
