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

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.

Congrats, moron. You got robbed.

Your neighbor clearly didn't have her thinking cap on, because if she had, she would have realized that she would have been tasked with feeding the fish, being that she already held the key and all. When I'm gone, I try to minimize the amount of people going through my stuff, whether I know them or not.

There was already an FML like this one a long time ago, except the landlord let in the poster's "boyfriend". My sympathy to the OP here, though.

Actually, your wrong to say that. My family and I have a very incredible neighbor who we have known for many years ,but both my family and the neighbors don't really know all that much about each other. Even so we have watched his house and he has watched our house.

When my family goes on vacation, we give our key to our neighbour who we've known and trusted for 18 years... I wonder what op did. And we ask the neighbour to feed the fish, not someone else.

Hope your insurance will cover your neighbors mistake.

You didn't tell your neighbour not to let anyone inside without asking you first? Also why did he call you after he let your "mum" in and not before? :/ Not the smartest thinker I guess...

Maybe the neighbor robbed you and made up the story
