Today, the neighbors called the cops because they heard "gun shots". My girlfriend and I were popping bubble wrap. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that the loud "firecrackers" I heard the night before were actually shotgun blasts by my neighbor murdering his girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were house sitting. We were a little on edge because we'd heard noises. We were starting to get intimate, and suddenly the house alarm started going off. We locked ourselves in the room, called the police, and they told us that we were the ones who'd set it off. FML
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
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, my girlfriend and I were getting it on, and listening to loud music when she suddenly looked worried and asked if I heard something. I said no and continued. Moments later, three firemen opened the bedroom door and told us to get dressed and go outside because the building was on fire. 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
Today, I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's house. Since her husband has a history of abusing her, I called the cops. After they left with him in custody, she called to yell at me because they were "working things out" after "having a few drinks". FML
Today, I awoke to the sound of my neighbors attacking my car with a baseball bat accusing me of calling the cops on them. I did call the cops on them, after they screamed at me last night, drunkenly, to call the cops for them because they thought they were being robbed. FML
Today, I was singing while unloading my dishwasher. I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it only to find the police telling me they received noise complaints from my neighbors. I live next-door to my parents. FML
Today, our children were playing in the apartment, and I guess it made too much noise for the guy below, because he started banging on the ceiling. My boyfriend got so pissed that he grabbed his gun, stormed off, and threatened the guy below with it. He's on parole so I'm praying he doesn't report it to the cops. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You know it's pretty unusual to shoot bubble wrap

Your neighbor is an idiot. A gunshot is way louder.

I guess the neighbours jumped the gun.

Yeah I was going to say, you'd have to have your ear unusually close to your neighbors of you could hear them popping bubble wrap, seems like a pretty nosy thing to do

Not nosy. Eerie.

Surely popping bubble wrap cannot be as loud as gunshots...

What were the size of the bubbles and how close were they to each other? You can either sound like a handgun or a machine gun...

@24 The decibel rating between bubble wrap and a gun firing ate nowhere near on the same playing field. Even suppressed firearms are way louder than bubble wrap popping. Sources: I'm in the military

only thing I can think of is it wasn't bubble wrap but those huge ones. they're pretty loud but the neighbors still over reacted ?

Oh REALLY??????

Unless you have a silencer. Then maybe it would be close to the same popping sound. Neighbour must have super sonic hearing aids!

Yeah... I actually call BS on this one. It depends if he lives in an apartment or not, but bubble wrap is not loud enough to be heard in a house next door. Ive also seen way too many of these FML's.

#33: I don't know if you've ever seen or used a silencer, but unlike on TV, they aren't very silent at all. They're just a lot quieter than a real gun. Point of the story is that OP has found the world's loudest bubble wrap. Either that or his neighbors are idiots.

Which is why what people call a silencer is actually called a "suppressor" But how awesome would it be to have something that actually did silence the gunshot? Kinda like the sonic pulse mine thing on advanced warfare. If I were OP would pay for something like that... Then that nosy neighbor would call the cops all worried cause he couldn't hear anything.

If you said "BANG" everytime you popped one..it could be misunderstood
