Thanks mom
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML

Today, the phone kept ringing so I picked it up and answered. When there was no response, it took a minute to realize that I was still in bed and talking to my hand. FML

Today, I had misplaced my cell phone. I decided the best course of action would be to dial the number from my house phone and wait for it to ring to locate it. Somebody answered when I called. It wasn't the wrong number and I had a brief conversation with the man that stole my phone. FML

Wish you were here
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, my parents left for work before I had to leave for school and I decided to skip. I stayed by the phone, expecting the school to call so I could pose as my parent and excuse my absence. The phone rings and I pick up. It's my Mom, calling to leave my dad a message on the machine. FML

Today, even though I was very clear before I went on holiday that I was going completely zero contact to de-stress, my mother rang at least twice a day. When I stopped answering the phone, she found the direct number of the local police station in a foreign country and sent them to find me. FML

If it was a robber they clearly aren't very smart

Best call the police, and in the future, perhaps consider someone house-watching.

Well, if this was a robber, it clearly wasn't a smart robber. We all know you're supposed to let the phone ring, and then disconnect it and steal it too.

Because robbing someone's house secretly is just too easy now a days they answer the phone

Why on Earth would an intruder answer the phone?!

Because being secretive is too mainstream

Hopefully this incident will motivate you to have an alarm system installed once you return.

The awkward moment when you call a number actually wanting to speak to a machine and you get a real person. When you get back (providing you're on good terms with you neighbors) ask around to see if anyone noticed anybody unfamiliar, or suspicios loitering around your house

I have no idea what i would do if that happened to me. You might wanna hire Liam Neeson.

What I found most shocking out of all this is not just that you have a home phone, but that you didn't forward it to your cell. This is 2013 you know..

I'm really curious about the follow-up!
