Today, my mom made me clean. I was dusting in the living room and heard gunshots outside the apartment. I dove on the floor and started crying and screaming. My mom walked in and informed me that the sound was her making popcorn. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was home alone and tried to make some popcorn so I could watch a movie. Thirty minutes later, my parents came home and found me talking to the firemen. FML
Today, I heard something that sounded like a series of gunshots outside my house. My Dad screamed, "Get down!" at the top of his lungs. The whole family immediately dropped to the floor, my sister whimpering and trembling, only moments later to hear my Dad cackling uncontrollably over us. They were just fireworks. FML
Today, I saw a gun on my dad's bedside table. I knew it wasn't real, so I picked it up and posed like a badass. Then I shot a hole in their bedroom TV, blew out my eardrums, and my mom flew in and started screaming at me. FML
Today, I tried to make popcorn in the microwave but forgot to remove the plastic wrapper. The kitchen filled with smoke, the fire alarm went off and my neighbors came knocking to see if I was alright. When they asked what caused it, I had to admit that it was “Erm… popcorn.” FML
Today, I wanted to do something nice for my mom. So, while she was sleeping, I cleaned the whole house for her and even made her breakfast. A few minutes later, she came downstairs and yelled at me to keep it down because she was trying to sleep. FML
Today, I was over at my boyfriend's house and I heard a strange sound. I laughed and said, "It sounds like a dog throwing up!" He listened for a second and said, "That's my mom crying downstairs." FML
Today, I was on a Zoom call with my therapist and we were discussing my PTSD. He assured me that I was safe and no one would burst into the room. Just then, my mom burst into my room and started screaming about dirty dishes. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, the neighbors called the cops because they heard "gun shots". My girlfriend and I were popping bubble wrap. FML
Today, the neighbors called the cops on us because they heard a series of loud screams. No, no one was being murdered, but my mom found one of my socks in the laundry room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

@#37 If someone lives in the ghetto and hears a gunshot, you'd best believe they're going to be ducking. Because it happens so often, you don't know where that bullets going to land up.

I'm #5 and #17 I think this quote will suffice. "Willfully ignorant it's like they loved to be prisoners". If he/she lived in the ghetto they would not be posting this due to the fact that they can identify the difference of sounds.

Idiot! How do you confuse popcorn with gunshots? You must have never heard a real gunshot in your life. FAIL!

Has anyone heard of PTSD? (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). If this person witnessed something extremely stress provoking that involved gun shots, the sound of anything that could be even slightly corrolated with a gun shot could freak the person out. Considering they said they started crying and screaming, I would wonder if this is what happened. If that's the case, it's totally a FML.

Cry more. and #61 Stop jumping to conclusions. Use the information provided and use your best judgment on that. They didn't put anything in about PTSD or any traumatic experiences. Maybe they are just a puss and should grow up and not post retarded things like this

#7 and #12 are dumber than the OP. If they lived by your ridiculous stereotypical assumptions they would know what gunshots sound like. And if you grew up and learned the value of money you would know how ridiculously insensitive and immature "move out of the ghetto" sounds.
