Today, I called the cops on this guy who kept emailing me without revealing who he was. I had told him that if he emailed me again, I would call the cops, so I did. Turns out it was my roommate. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommate came home and instantly began raging, cursing, and threatening to kill me. While I was cowering in my bedroom, the police had to settle the situation. All I'd done was rearrange some furniture. FML
Today, I got a stern talking-to from the police about threatening and harassing people. Who had called them? None other than my stalker, whom I'd just informed about the restraining order I was filing against him after finding him in my house. For the second time. FML
Today, I had to call the police to get my crazy stalker of a neighbor out of my house. When the police arrived, I found out that she was friends with the officer. FML
Today, a guy I blocked online for sending me creepy messages showed up at my house. I have no idea how he found my address, or even my real name. FML
Today, I found out the person who's been stalking and harassing me online was actually my now ex-boyfriend. He only confessed as I finally picked up the phone to report it to the police. He basically said he wanted me to turn to him for comfort and protection, so he could "feel like a man". FML
Today, some guy I’ve been talking to showed up at my house while I was on video call with my boyfriend. I had to confess to a stupid situation I had no business being in. FML
Today, I got a call from the guy I have been seeing. I wasn't him. It was his wife wondering why I have her husband's number. FML
Today, a girl I've been talking to online for a while asked me if I wanted to meet her in person. Two hours of driving later, I end up at her house. When she opened the door, she screamed and called the cops on me. While detained, she called my phone asking why I never showed up today. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend called the cops on me and told them I wasn’t letting him in the house. His keys were in the door, he was just too drunk to unlock it. FML
Today, I was getting catcalled downtown by a guy I've never seen before. Then he told me he knows where I live, and accurately described my apartment while he followed me for 2 blocks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have just blocked their email or have it sent to the junk mail folder.

Were the emails threatening? If not, it probably wasn't worth calling the cops :/

Yea that's very much an overreaction and OP sounds like a child.

Block email 1-2 button presses. calling police 3-8 (depending if you dialed 911 from a landline or police station from a cell). Choice 1 required no further effort. Choice 2 requires all kinds of drama. Honestly never knowing it was OPs roommate would probably end up better for everyone.

I'm really wondering what these e-mails were saying. Was is stupid mindless trolling, or threatening harrassment, or something else?

wait until you get an email with details of your address and family and a threat to harm them... This may be an extreme example, but email threat is a threat nonetheless

Maybe he took that prank a little too far.

If they weren't threatening OP could have just not responded... Usually people harass others for the reaction they expect to get out of it.

He shouldn't have called your bluff about calling the cops. Even more since he is your roommate he should have know when enough was enough.

shhh. just lay down, let it happen

I think there's something really wrong with you that you can tell somebody just lay there and let it happen I think you really need some serious help

You're basically implying that it's okay for her to lay down and let whatever happen to her be allowed. What if he had darker intentions and wanted to rape her? Would you say "shh, just lay down and let it happen" now? Would you blame her for it? Next time think about what you're going to comment on and with what because you'll either get positive votes for it or negative and it's clear what this one was.

This needs a follow up!

Now you have to pay his bail.

What for? Dumbass had it coming. Let 'em rot for what they're worth. Maybe they won't pull stupid shit like this anymore.

He deserved it. Don't help him out on this one.

He will probably start taking you more seriously from now on. Sounds like this needs a follow-up, though.
