Today, eight tornados hit the town where I live. The only person who tried to get a hold of me and see if I was OK was my World of Warcraft guild leader after I didn't show up to raid. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's been more than 3 days since a tornado ripped through my neighborhood. Several were injured, and there is millions of dollars of damage. Not a single family member has called, texted, or stopped by to see if I need help or got injured. FML
Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML
Today, I've not had any contact with my mother for years, and when tornadoes came through our hometown and wiped out most of our downtown area, she didn't contact me at all. I finally contacted her myself. Her reason for not contacting me? She had "watched the news" and "knew I was OK." FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Today, I went to help a friend move into her new apartment. We were half-way through when it started to rain, and in my anger I yelled that it's like these things happen just to annoy me. Then we heard the tornado sirens. FML
Today, we had our busiest day at work all year with lots of angry people calling, and a co-worker called in sick. I went to my local game shop after work, exhausted and upset, and guess who was at his usual table running a Dungeons and Dragons group, apparently not too sick to go out. Yeah. FML
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. FML
Today, my fiancé nervously sat me down for a "serious chat". The chat wound up with him asking if we could postpone our wedding, because his World of Warcraft guild had a raid scheduled for the same day. FML
Today, it was my two year anniversary with my boyfriend. As we were about to exchange gifts, he got a call and said he had to go home immediately. What was the emergency? His guild leader couldn't find another healer to finish a raid and promised my boyfriend gear if he would step up. FML
Today, I lied when my therapist asked why I preferred Tuesday morning appointments. It's actually because World of Warcraft is down for regularly scheduled maintenance. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Perhaps your local friends and neighbors had more pressing duties to get to, like their own families and their own lives to sort out before they could get around to seeing that you were ok.

Either that or he needed a healer :)

This is oddly relevant. The guild I'm in raided on Wednesday, and one of our guildies got caught in this tornado mess. And she was one of our healers.

At least someone checked still.

Holy crap, eight tornadoes is a lot. Hopefully you and everyone around you is okay, and hopefully there wasn't too much damage

There was a total Of 35 tornados between Indiana and Ohio yesterday evening/ night. I live close to the Indiana state line.

Starbucks was destroyed. It was scary. Tornados like this don't usually come to Indiana

Pretty sure he was saying his family didn't call.

Exactly. He clearly wasn't referring to the other people hit by the tornados.

If they live somewhere else, perhaps they hadn't heard the news yet? I don't really check the news, so I often don't know what's up (even big events) until a few days later. This is especially true if they live far away and are unlikely to hear reports from OP's area. That being said, since OP made the FML, it's seems more likely he knows his family just doesn't care :(

Remember too, if someone doesn't hear the news and has no idea the tornados even happened, you won't receive the call either!

And hey, at least you know that you're guild leader cares about and values you! They are a good friend to have

And how many people did you reach out to, to see if they were okay?

Hey that's still pretty cool atleast it shows that your guild leader truly values you as a member
