Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my distraught mom called me, saying my dad had killed himself and to come home right away. After cussing out my math teacher for trying to stop me and rushing back home in a taxi, I ran into the living room, only to find my parents laughing so hard they were practically in tears. FML
Today, right before the most important final of my education, I got a text from my mom saying my house had burned to the ground, and my children were outside waiting for the firemen. I panicked, left school, and sped home… all for her to laugh and tell me it was “just a joke.” FML
Today, I was sitting in math class taking notes on my laptop when my mom texted me, asking why I wasn’t in class. She has my location for security purposes. I’m 19 and in college. FML
Today, I received a phone call at work about an emergency, and that I had to come home immediately. I arrived to find that no one had been hurt and the house hadn't burned down. The "emergency" was my mom had ran out of milk and cigarettes. FML
Today, my mom got angry that I wasn't responding to her texts. I couldn't because I was in the dentist's chair. She'd dropped me off, and after returning from errands, sent the text from the waiting room. FML
Today, my mom was on the phone while we went grocery shopping. Apparently, her phone call was more important because she just left me stranded in the store. FML
Today, my mom called 5 times and I didn't pick up due to being in class at college. I was later called to the front desk, where my mom was crying. She said she was worried about me because I didn't say "I love you" to her after she dropped me off at college. FML
Today, I noticed that my mom had left the house without her cell phone. I called her phone to let her know she forgot it. FML
Today, I asked my mom to help my daughter with Zoom school while I handled an emergency. When I got back, I found out my mom went through my laptop containing all my documents, my emails and even the journal my therapist suggested I keep. She says she was looking for a Zoom link. Yeah right. FML
Today, I received a text from my mom saying, "We need to talk." I panicked and replied, "What did I do now?" She responded, "I was going to ask what you wanted for dinner, but now I’m curious about what you're hiding." FML

YDI for leaving your phone on during an exam

Firstly, how were you able to check your phone and get up and leave in the middle of your final? Secondly, YDI for skipping your final. I don't care what emergency is happening, if you're not there and you have to take the time to drive home, it can't be all that important. Why wouldn't your mom just call you or you think to respond with "what's wrong?". I'm calling fake.

You could've asked what was wrong instead of just dropping everything. Honestly, if anyone interupts me during an exam, someone better be dead or dying.

You expect us to believe you're allowed to check your phone during an exam?

I only spent a total of five (5) minutes of training and I hang with the best of them (or at least that's what my "instructor" tells me). On the topic of the FML posted, I think the OP's mother should be taken behind the shed and put out of her misery. The Alzheimer's is a devastating time to experience... I think... and the Alzheimer's is a devastating time to experience... I think.

With everyone else. You're not supposed to have your phone ON during an exam, much less be checking it. Any test I've ever taken, you'd get the test taken away from you and ripped up, along with receiving a zero score, if you were checking your phone while it was in front of you.

Don't take texts while you're doing something important. She could have called the school office and explained her "emergency" and had them come get you. She's going to wreck your life with her petty shit.

Is your mom that stupid?

At least she didn't forget who you were like somebody's grandmother ...

If I were your teacher, I'd consider giving you an F for cheating just because you looked at your cell phone. Your mom is still incredible, though. Does she have any kind of explanation for her behaviour?
