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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

You gave your neighbour a key to your house. I'm assuming that if you trusted your neighbour with a key, you would also trust them with the knowledge that you had fish. Why would they not think it strange that your 'mom' would come over to feed your fish and not have a key herself? My neighbours don't have a key but they know where my spare is hidden (in case of emergency) and when I leave for more than a day, I tell them that Soandso will be popping by periodically for whatever reason and no one else is to be inside my house. What a daft neighbour you have.

You should invest in a Warning: Gaurd Dog sign, whether you have one or not. It really helps out...sometimes. At least you weren't in the house like I was when people tried to rob me at gunpoint....-_-

How the hell could she let someone in your house? Was she house-sitting and had an extra key? If you know her well enough for her to have access to your apartment, how could she not know your mother died?

The neighbor should have called you to check! They meant well but...

Don't be surprised if it was the actual neighbor that burglarized your place and then blamed it on your non existing mother!
