Today, I began to choke on a large pill while my mom was in the room. Hoping that she would help me, I began to make a lot of noise. After she completely ignored me, I threw my body over a chair, saving my life. At this point my mother asks me to shut up because she can't hear her friend. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had one of the worst panic attacks in years. I was worried nobody cared about me and that I had completely messed up my life. I was hyperventilating and crying hysterically. My mom walked by my room, looked at me, and said, "If you're going to make those noises, at least shut the door." FML
Today, while sitting next to my mom at a restaurant, she told me to stop moving and making so much noise because, "It's distracting." The noise I was making was me breathing. I'm not even allowed to breathe. Guess I'll die. FML
Today, I crawled into my mom's room to tell her my stomach was in massive pain. She ended up throwing me out of the room while spraying me with Lysol. My appendix was about to burst and I needed surgery. FML
Today, while my friends were over, my mom took too many of her pills and walked around the house nude. She then bit me. FML
Today, I went to Walmart with my mom. At the checkout line I was eating a bag of chips as my mom bought her stuff. I inhaled while eating and I started to choke. The cashier asked me if I was OK. My mom just waved her hand, and said, "Sometimes she does that for attention, ignore her." FML
Today, I was singing while lying upside down chewing gum. My dad was trying to focus on the current football game and hushed me. I yelled, "No!" resulting in my gum becoming lodged in my windpipe. I shut up after all. FML
Today, I was drinking from a water bottle while in a lecture. The water caught in my throat and it felt like I was choking to death. Instead of asking me if I was okay or trying to help, the guy sitting next to me told me to shut up. FML
Today, my daughter wanted to show me the tooth she had just lost. As I was in a rush to leave for work, I quickly picked up and swallowed my pill that was on the kitchen table. It was only until I looked back down at the table did I see not only my pill, but one extremely angry daughter glaring at me. FML
Today, I choked on oatmeal, watered-down soupy oatmeal. It seemed to get stuck halfway down. I chucked up several spoonfuls. My wife was oblivious to all the noise I was making because she had her over-the-ear headphones on, listening to some stupid YouTube video. FML
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm going to assume that by "making a lot of noise," you meant banging on stuff and maybe throwing something, because if you were vocalizing, you weren't really choking. But still, I know how scary that feeling is, and it sucks your mom was a bitch about it.

By "I threw my body over a chair", I'm pretty sure she just means pressing the top of the chair against her stomach by leaning over it to force air out of her mouth. For all of you asking about that lol. You mom was reeeeeeally stupid to do that. What kind of mother wouldn't drop everything to save her choking kid? What a bitch x(

When you are choking and have to dislodge something independently, you do actually have to pretty much throw yourself over the edge of something to put enough force to dislodge whatever it is that is stuck. If you gently push a chair up against you nothing will happen. You have to use force.

13, 19, 26 ftl You can throw things, hit things, bump things, etc. Lots of noise. Let's use our heads people. 12 - that's not the point, retard. 24 - you don't exactly sit back and scope out the situation logically when your air flow is dramatically reduced. Panic sets in when you can no longer breathe. You must choke a lot.

It probably didn't happen this way at all. If you were making VOCAL noises, you were not choking, and your mom thought the same thing. Then you came here with your sob story so you can hear what a bitch your mom is. She's not, but you are

you can't make noises while you're choking i think. unless of course you hit the chairs and tables i guess. either way, FYL!!!

yeah, like everyone else is saying, you wouldn't be making noises if you were actually choking. either your mom is a bitch or shes tired of your shit for a reason.

Or maybe she just didn't notice you were really in trouble? not everything has to automatically be "mom's a bitch". Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. Next time break the pill in half.

32 - 13 here, did you completely fail to read what I said? I never assumed they were coughing, I ASKED IF THEY WERE, and said that IF they were, they weren't choking. Reading comprehension. Get it.
