Keep cool
Today, I received a phone call that started with, "Now stay calm… Your house is on fire." FML

Yep OP, Stay calm. Don't break into a sweat. This is very regular.

Ummm...I'm assuming at least you're not in your house? I mean, better safe than sorry, right?

-sarcasm-Oh yeah, no big deal. Just... losing everything material you own. But I mean, come on, who cares about that? -end sarcasm- They really need to make a font for this.

Definitely need a special font for sarcasm.

Your "-sarcasm-" declaration ruined the effect.

If you don't write SOMETHING to declare sarcasm, you either get thumbed down into oblivion, get raged at, or both. I've been reading the comments for more than long enough to know this.

I know and agree with you. But then writing -sarcasm- made me read it as a part of the text the first time.. it was a bit confusing. Though, we do need a FONT for it. Then i guess more than 90% comments will be in that font.

Do any of you *actually* believe that OP posted this while *inside* a burning house?! So many people are saying "get out of there." Seriously guys! If you got a call that your house was on fire, I would hope your first thought wouldn't be "this would make an awesome post on FML!" Also, how big must OP's house need to be for them to be inside it & not know it's on fire & need someone to call them to inform them? I'm certain OP wasn't at their house! OP, I'm very sorry about your house. I hope you didn't lose everything. & I hope you had insurance.

So many people are saying get out? Read every single comment and there is one and its obviously a joke even with that one...

The house can be big - like a villa or even a normal house. OP might be on the top floor and the kitchen caught fire, sleeping, anything..lots of explanations for that. But yes, we do express our grievance for the house's fiery demise.

I was assuming their comments were like "is your refrigerator running, go run after it" I don't think anyone was serious

Why wouldn't the person calling you just call the Fire Department?...

They could already be there

Well you should be extremely concerned in case it's not a prank call

Yes because being calm is the natural reaction to being told their house is on fire. Who needs to be told they have to be concerned with that kind of news?

So... was your house on fire or was it just a horrible prank call?

We need a follow up OP! I hope it was just a joke. If not then I hope everyone was okay.
