Today, I found out that my parents changed the code on our alarm system while they were out of town. The police could not verify I was their son, despite spending hours trying to get hold of them. They thought it was just another telemarketer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I received a message from front desk that my concerned father is trying to contact me. I call only to hear that my parents were freaking out that I wasn't answering my phone. They saw me 9 hours ago. They were going to call the police. I'm in college and also don't live with them anymore. FML
Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, I accidentally set off an alarm at the school I work for. No one was there, I didn't have the code or password the company needed, my boss wouldn't answer his phone, three policemen interrogated me and asked for ID, but realized I left home without my wallet. There was nothing I could do. I cried. FML
Today, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as "Dad" to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in, or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML
Today, I threw a party while my parents were gone. I forgot that our alarm automatically turns on at 11 pm, so when people opened the door, it went off. I couldn't find the number for the alarm company, so the cops showed up. Everyone started cheering because they thought they were strippers. FML
Today, out of nowhere, several spam calls started calling my cellphone number. Every single one of them about health insurance. I didn't know why they were calling me or how they got my number. After a bit of questioning, it turns out my dumb dad used my name and cellphone number while trying to look for info. FML
Today, my mom and dad went off somewhere for some alone time together. My mom had apparently turned her phone off and my dad left his at home. In that span of time, my brother had accidentally locked himself out of his house, and my sister was also trying to get a hold of them, and now are asking me where they're at. FML
Today, I found out that my parents are in trouble because they left me home alone for almost two weeks (I'm 16) and my Karen neighbor found out and called social services. FML
Today, at around 11 p.m., the police made a visit to my house, explaining how my neighbors had thought I was using a universal remote to change their television channels. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your parents sound like they're not very good at being parents. I feel sorry for you.

The police should've been able to run your name to find out where you live. Or they could've asked the alarm company, who should have the occupants listed. Or they could've asked the alarm company for homeowners information, and then questioned you to match the answers.

Well if the son at least produces an ID I'd think that would help. After all, a state-issued ID will have your address on it..

After the first time I read this post I only really thought that it just sounds like it clawed balls having to go through that for over 8 plus hours! But now after thinking about it for a second, I'm guessing you are really young...? I mean, no permit or Drivers License with your address and full name? The cops could've looked up the homeowners names and info. Also, if you w

I hope you didn't go to jail. What an irresponsible thing for adult parents to do. How the hell could you just forget you had a child that needed in the house and how do they not have caller ID or something on their phones knowing its your number. Sounds like they're stupid and selfish.

Lol something similar happend to me once, I was lock outside my own house. After a 2hrs of bitching and pissing about it I climb to the top of the house and break in to a window. I done it so well I couldn't believe it, maybe I should consider this my permanent job. Lol

Can't they just check who lives in the house? Even if your name is not listed, shouldn't it be a terribly simple thing to look for your parents names and see if they match the house owners'?

Has anyone considered that the son is an adult who lives elsewhere now and was only watching the house or feeding animals while his parents were away? That's how I read this FML. Not that the parents locked their teenage son out of his own house. Which would also then explain how they could forget to tell him the new code.

That's how I read it as well.
