Today, I heard a baby crying while I was walking down the street. I walked around until I found it. In a dumpster. I immediately called the cops, completely freaking out. When the cops came, they pulled the baby out of the dumpster. It was a plastic baby doll. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my class got baby dolls for the week to teach us how to be good parents. After school, I went to the store with my mom with the baby doll. When I got home, I realized that I left the baby doll in a shopping cart. FML
Today, I was found out when I was a baby, I was abandoned in a dumpster. FML
Today, I saw a lady with a stroller in the park. She stopped at the water fountain and got a drink, then left without her baby. I ran to the stroller and started rolling it after her. Two grown men attacked me, accusing me of trying to steal said baby. Turns out it was a baby doll. FML
Today, I found a baby in a cradle on my doorstep. I was shocked that someone would do this, so I picked it up and uncovered the baby. It was actually a rudimentary stink bomb that went off in my face when I uncovered it. FML
Today, I saw a shady looking customer carrying a very suspicious looking baby stroller with a blanket on top of it. Thinking they were shoplifting, I stopped them before they walked out of the store and snatched it. The attachable car seat came off and there really was a baby in there. A real live crying baby. FML
Today, I passed a car, and heard a baby crying in the back seat. It was hot and no one was around. All the doors were locked so I broke it with a rock, cutting my arm and setting the alarm off. Only to find out that it was a realistic baby doll. I have to get 7 stitches and pay for the window. FML
Today, I was babysitting to make a few extra dollars. While changing one of the kid's diapers, I turned around to find the other kid gone. I turned back around frantically, only to get poop flung at my face. I guess I found him. FML
Today, when I went to pick my kid up from daycare, I found out that he had run away. The rest of my afternoon consisted of me screaming his name, looking for him. I then returned to the daycare center. He thought it would be funny if he hid in the trash. FML
Today, I was babysitting a 5 year old boy. When I was on the phone with my mom, he called 911 and started to cry. When I got off the phone the police were at the door. It turns out that the "emergency" was that the VCR was not working. FML
Today, it was an unusually hot day and I saw one of my friends walking down the street carrying a large bag. I stopped and asked if he needed a ride. When he got in, I noticed a horrible stench. He then told me he'd just been dumpster diving. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have looked inside because if there really was a baby I would have went straight in, not wait for the cops.

You should've checked mate, but your heart's in the right place. I think. If it was a real baby, it could've died between the time you heard it and the time the police came in.

Wtf? First you couldn't tell the difference between a fake baby and a real baby, THEN you just left it in there and doodled around until the police showed up. Nice of you to help, but this is either total fail (and YDI) or fake.

YDI - like others have said: YOU LEFT IT IN THERE!!! You call the cops, tell them there's a baby in a dumpster....and then leave it there for someone else to get!!!

cracking up. it sucks for you because you were just trying to help and now you look like a jackass but still hilarious. FYL because 1.) The sound of a baby crying from a dumpster is enough to make anyone panic 2.) Those new baby dolls so friggin realistic 3.) It would be terrifying to pull a baby out of a dumpster and I'm sure you were just afraid something would happen. Calling the police was the right thing.................kinda

1) Maybe the baby doll was underneath some stuff and not clearly visible. 2) like mentioned above, maybe underneath stuff and the cry was muffled and not distinguishable between doll and real 3) doll cries are very realistic these days. My daughter has one and If I wasn't so used to the sound (she plays with it everyday) I could possibly think it was real.4) maybe the OP doesn't have a whole bunch of experience with babies crying and when you don't the 2 can sound a lot alike. 5) If the baby was burried and the OP climbed in the dumpster it could easily hurt the baby more. Like if the baby had a broken neck. So give the OP a break they did the right thing!
