Hands off parenting
Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML

Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom decided to follow me during my driving test. She rear ended me. FML
Today, I faked a sore throat for the school nurse so I could go home early. It took my dad the rest of the school day just to get there to pick me up. FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, my boss made me work a longer shift than usual. Not because he needed me in, but just so I'd finish at the same time as his brat of a son, and give him a lift home. FML
Today, I wanted to spend the day cleaning my room. My mom thinks that I was lying just to stay home, so she yelled at me to go to her shop. At the shop, she yelled at me for not being any help. When we got home she yelled at me for having a messy room. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, I wasn't allowed to work from home, despite being ill enough to just take the day off anyway, all so there could be "someone to answer the phone." The phone didn't ring once all day. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML

Even parents are still scared of teachers it seems.

Did you remind her? Maybe she forgot or something, or she thought it wasn't that important.

at least op got a ride though.. none of my teachers would have even offered. they would have been like, "well alright then, see you at school!"

the teacher part was a good thing, but people are forgetful. you can't tell me you honestly remembered something without being reminded at least once.

neither of my parents have ever purposefully made a nearing with my parents and forgot, if they cant make it to something for me they let me know beforehand, it's not hard to put an appointment in ur phone

OPs mom must've been busy entertaining herself and lost track of time.

Be lucky you didn't have to stay alone. I was in the same situation once and the teacher said "Goodbye, have a great weekend. Projects are due Tuesday." -_-

my school knows if they don't please me they'll hear from my mom, so I have it pretty easy ;)

wow u seem like a fag who can't fight his own fights I would like to kick ur ass o wait you'll probably call ur mom to fight for u
lonewolf6613 4
wow u seem like a fag since ur gay enough to hit a girl who has done nothing to you. dumbass I can't argue with a teacher even though most of mine are assholes who will give u a failing grade and refuse to tutor you if u have red highlights. those are the cases when I call my mom so don't speak if you don't know. and for the record if you were to so much as lay a hand on me I'd kick your ass. I don't care if you are a girl or a guy.

I think what they meant was "what if your mom had the teacher when your mom was a child?"
fanceh 10
yeah, my bad. I was joking that maybe the mom was in her class when she was younger.
