Today, my neighbor called me on vacation to tell me that she let my mother into my house to feed my fish. I don't have fish, and my mother passed away 3 years ago. FML

Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML
Today, I was making the daily commute to work when suddenly my mother calls me, crying that there's been a death in the family, then abruptly hangs up. I speed home, to find my mother holding the tiny corpse of a fish that she got 2 weeks ago. I got fired for being late to work. FML
Today, my 9 year-old little sister is coming back to town with the rest of my family. She specifically asked me to feed her fish. I totally forgot until she called me 10 minutes ago to tell me she was on her way home and couldn't wait to see her fishie. He's dead. FML
Today, my friend is furious with me because while I was watching her various fish for two weeks, I failed to feed her favorite fish and it died. The reason I didn't take care of it was because she never told me she had it, that it was in her room unlike the rest of the fish, so I never saw it. FML
Today, I called my mother who is vacationing in Florida with my dad and sister. Before they left I told them I would be very responsible and that they could trust me. The first thing she asked me is if all the animals were still alive. I said yes. I lied. Her favourite cat drowned in the pool. FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML
Today, I came home after having traveled abroad for the last two months. Before I left, I'd asked my dad to take care of my fish, and he promised they'd be safe with him. I found them all decomposing. FML
Today, I went to see a fortune teller. She said one of my closest friends will die soon because of me. Frightened I hurried home to avoid meeting anyone I know. At home I found my goldfish floating on its back. Apparently I forgot to feed my closest friend for the past 3 days. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML

Her story sounds a bit... Fishy.

That "mother" of yours was definitely fishing for something, and it most definitely wasn't for fish o.O.

Why would you let your neighbor watch over your house if she barely even knows anything about you? I'm sure you would tell your neighbor these details of you guys were close..

Maybe OP is new in town or either neighbor or him are shy and didn't introduce themselves.

24- Possibly.. personally though, I wouldn't let anyone I don't trust enough to have the key to my house and if OP left the key in her hands, I assume she would've told her about any pets she may/may not have.

Holy shit that's terrifying! Call the cops and have neighbor describe the woman. I hope it all works out for you.

FYL and YDI! I really hope you get your key back from that neighbor when you return home from vacation...next time you hand your key out it might be smart to let that person know who and who not to let inside your house...

Learn to spell correctly, idiot.

Capitalization, punctuation and spelling skills are not strong in this one.

If the OP trusted the neighbor enough to give him a key, wouldn't he of had some knowledge about OP's private life?

Not everyone wants to discuss their deceased mother...

If you were close enough to your neighbor to let them watch over your house while you were on vacation, he/she probably should have known your mom died..just my opinion.

Sorry OP, I hope nothing valuable was stolen!

Well no shit somebody stole something. Someone doesn't deceive their way into a house to admire their interior decorating.

ah yes, that wonderful moment when your vacation stops being fun and instead turns to days filled with dread...truly sorry about that OP, hope you called the cops immediately. (sorry about your mom too T_T )
