Today, a telemarketer called and asked if they could speak to my "Mommy or Daddy." I'm 25 years old. FML

Today, a telemarketer called my house phone and asked for my grandpa. We were in the middle of having his wake. FML
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, after applying at over 30 businesses over the past 6 months, I have had not one single call. I later find out that I was using my old phone number on the applications, and my secondary phone was my mom's. She thought they were telemarketers. FML
Today, I was so desperately lonely that I begged a telemarketer not to hang up on me. FML
Today, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone call. They were impressed with me. That's when my son decided to throw a tantrum asking for food. After some silence, the caller told me they were looking for someone who wasn't juggling little kids at home and hung up. My son is 20. FML
Today, I got a call from "No Caller ID", which usually only shows up when someone calls from my house phone. Thinking it was my kids, I answered imitating a cartoon voice. It wasn't my kids. It was the district attorney's office calling about the job I applied for. FML
Today, my phone rang with an unknown number. I answered in my professional “customer service” voice: “Hello, this is Sarah, how may I help you?” It was my mom, who immediately said, “Why are you talking like a robot? Did you get fired again?” I was on speakerphone at the grocery store checkout. FML
Today, I cleared out the messages in my voicemail. Of the 50+ messages, most were from my mother wanting to know when I'd be home. I'm 27. FML
Today, I got a call from my parents' divorce lawyer. When I answered the phone, she thought I was my mother and told me the details about my parent's divorce. I'm a 13-year-old boy who sounds like a woman and just learned that my parents are separating. FML
Today, out of nowhere, several spam calls started calling my cellphone number. Every single one of them about health insurance. I didn't know why they were calling me or how they got my number. After a bit of questioning, it turns out my dumb dad used my name and cellphone number while trying to look for info. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm almost 25 and currently living with my parents again. It's common among graduates these days as apartment/house prices are so high. It's hard to live on your own with today's economy as it is.

Try not to sound like Minnie Mouse when you answer the phone and that won't happen..
GoW_Chick 14
Wait what? Minnie mouse doesn't sound like a young child, if you ask me though she is kind of a bitch. Yeah I said it come at me Disney. Over voice- Gow_chick was never heard from again, and animated creatures danced and sung on her grave, the end

Use a voice scrambler? They are especially useful for scaring the shit out of people.

Tell them you don't know if they'll want to speak with them but you'll call your parents at their house and find out.
