Today, I got mad at my parents and threatened to run away. Things got so bad that I packed a bag and left, planning to hide in my front yard to teach them a lesson. It's been two hours, and I'm still standing behind a bush in front of my house while they make no effort to look for me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parents started fighting at a restaurant. Embarrassed, I went to the restroom to get away and stayed in there for about 15 minutes, knowing how long their fights can last. When I came back, they were gone. They'd ditched me, and left me to walk several miles back home. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my mom, and stormed out of the house. I walked two blocks before realizing that I have no place to go, and no friends to vent to. FML
Today, I overheard my parents planning on how to get me to move out of the house. It's my house. They only came to visit and forgot to leave. FML
Today, my parents were out and about, leaving me alone in the house. They said they would leave some lunch for me. I couldn't find it. After telling them when they got home, my mom got huffy and showed me that it was in a place I would have never thought to look. She then got even more mad when I was annoyed by this. FML
Today, I slipped out my bedroom window at night in an attempt to rebel against my parents. Then I realized that I have no friends and nowhere to go, so I tried to climb back in. I fell, broke my ankle, and laid in the dirt until my parents found me in the morning. FML
Today, my parents and I went to the movies for my mom's birthday. After the movie, my mom and dad got into a fight, and left me at the movies. My cell phone was dead, and my house was about 12 miles away. They finally came and picked me up, hours later. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my parents by coming home from college for Spring Break. I arrived to find a dark house, with all the doors bolted shut. After calling them, I found out that they have gone on a vacation to Hawaii for a week. I am now locked out of my own house, with no where to stay. FML
Today, I finally decided to stand up for myself and quit my crappy job working for my abusive father. I gave him a few insults too, to which he reacted by calling the police and claiming I'd threatened to murder him. I spent three hours in jail before they finally let me go. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, I decided to tan naked in a secluded part of my yard, so I wouldn't get tan lines. I even felt adventurous enough to leave my bikini and towel inside. This idea backfired however when my mom stopped home from work, assumed I wasn't home, and locked all the doors before she left again. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's okay, I'll look for you

They're not going after to you because they know you'll be back when it's dinner time.

OP, if you start your FML with, "I got mad at my parents and threatened to run away," that's an automatic YDI.
starman02 12
They will eventually look for you, parents are sneaky and they probably seen you go to your "hiding spot". My mom always used to tell me that she had eyes on the back of her head.

1 - You forgot the ******* period at the end of the sentence, dumbass.
BeforeItWasCool 12
Shut the **** up, 37. That's such a pointless correction.

Shut the **** up 39, your life is pointless.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
#37 There was really no need for that "correction". I think we all know the sentence stops when there are no more words to read… Edit: never mind. Lol, he deleted his comment.
Pandacupcakelove 26
They probably know... That's a terrible thing to do anyway, OP! YDI

Sorry. I knew I was wrong but I hit send anyway. I grew up with sesame street too. Shame on me.

Sounds more like "I don't know who you are, but I will find you and kill you." instead of 'It's okay, I'll look for you.' lol!
tjv3 10
Hahaha . They def know that you are just looking for attention, and they also know that you have no intention of running away. They probably figure you are somewhere close and have no way of taking care of yourself so you will be back. YDI
LolFMLnot 10
I just had a huge argument with my mom myself. I never threatened her to run away because thats very childish and stupid YDI OP
Nabee143 3
So let me see if I'm understanding this correctly. You threatened your parents to run away and hid in your bushes. And apparently while still standing in the bushes, decided to post it on FML. Wow! FYL
GypsyRover 0
Go on then. Run away. I bet you didn't even pack a toothbrush,so you could scrub the turd out of your mouth. Which I'm sure you let your mouth overload your ass,and now you will be eating crow when you are done "teaching them a lesson."
matthew3 2
Looks like you ended up learning a lesson, brat.
Rosicles 8
I won't. Did u at least pack some cookies?
mrshutcherson123 3
I bet Pedo bear will find you first
ScotsLassie 6
Unless you are younger than maybe 11 (which I'm guessing you're not), why would they look for you when it's only been 2 hours? Time to grow up
anothermaria 9
this sounds creepy
t_raw1234 11
You should never run away or fake run away unless you have the worst parents in the world.
Petepoop 6
have a threesome
Zomg_Okay 27
You're not used to the word 'no', are you, 56?
AwsumShyGuy 12
56, No, that means that you're a spoiled brat. Parents: "Happy Birthday." Kid: "An iPhone, thank you so much, wait, this isn't the iPhone 5, this is the iPhone 4S, I TOLD YOU I WANTED THE IPHONE 5, I HATE YOU, I'M RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU FOREVER AND NEVER COMING BACK." See how stupid you'd sound if you ran away just because you didn't get what you wanted?
evilplatypus 39
Whenever I see FMLs that are very blatantly YDI, I wonder if the other party posted it pretending to be that person so they can show them how stupid they are. I bet the parents actually posted this.
sadistmonkey 19
Guys, I'm pretty sure 56 was being sarcastic. Evilplatypus - I agree.
kiwienne 21
#103 - Agreed. Too many people on here are too quick at spilling the beans. ;) It really ruins reading the comments. Such as the 20 comments saying "how old are you? 10?" and "idiot". Sad times
gc327072 31
I think Petepoop should just leave FML. He's always poppin' up, saying dumb shit, and getting buried. Not saying you should kill yourself, buut... please leave. Right now.

If OP was throwing a temper tantrum, he probably isn't be old enough to have a phone so how did he put this up on FML?! :O
Zomg_Okay 27
158 - Family computer, maybe. You don't have to have your own phone to use the Internet.
gummy_bears1492 0
159- he said that he was still hiding behind the bushes...maybe he's lying!!!
vhivfe 3
Maybe OP does have the worst parents in the world
afropuffjake 9
I hadn't thought about that, good point... But some people really are so self-absorbed that they think they're completely justified. It can just as well be one or the other. I wanted to run away from my house a few times so i can't say i was more mature as a child but I had an alcoholic father and a mother with dementia so I'd like to think my feelings were at least partially justified then XD
turkturkington 13
You lads need to learn how to read sarcasm...
Zomg_Okay 27
160 - FMLs are rarely written during the actual event. Usually, they're written afterwards and put in the present tense to match up with the "Today..." format. He likely submitted it a while after admitting defeat and slinking back in the door with his tail between his legs.
Annis_x3 7
224- If this was submitted after he went crawling back into the house, I don't think OP would say he is STILL hiding behind the bushes.
Zomg_Okay 27
"I'm still standing behind a bush" sounds better than "I stood behind a bush". Or maybe it's just me.
0RedPenguin0 8
160 - You have excessive punctuation here, bud
Zomg_Okay 27
Never, ever make such a threat unless you're prepared to go through with it. Clearly, you weren't prepared.
Futacy 30
And along with that, OP's parents probably saw him get behind the bush, worst hiding spot ever.
expertsmilee 26
YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

You should have at least went to a friends house but don't say stuff unless your gonna follow through or you'll just look stupid

My little sister threatened to run away once. My mom helped her pack her bag XD She didn't go anywhere, it became too real after that and she realized she had no where to go.
missalkali 8
same thing happened to my friend only she actually left and a neighbor called her mom going "your daughter is walking down the street with a suitcase and a backpack" her mom was like "I know" but she came back because he felt too bad running away… :P
marshmelo17 5
I was thinking they're not looking because OP wasn't hiding in a great place. Behind a bush? They can probably see OP perfectly and are laughing their asses off.
rsunshine2020 13
Maybe their worst punishment is you staying, therefore you should make your way back inside (:
klx125cross 9
Smartest comment ive seen all day:)....
sorrowsangel89 1
Haha awesome!
nictransitglory 4
Seriously, this OP sounds like a punk ass crybaby bitch. Parents are probably loving the fact they are gone.
Mauskau 36
People like you are the reason why we can't have nice things. I'm guessing you've done this before and your parents know you're an attention seeker. Luckily, they are wise enough not to give you the attention. YDI all over.
onlychildFTW 34
OP shouldn't run away unless there parents are really bad. YDI OP.
ALlamaOnFire 20
And what happens when they find you behind the bush? What will you say then? YDI, everyone's parents piss them off but running away is a little extreme.
thewiseguy13 0
To extreme, no way I ran away from my parents... when I was 8. At least I was smart enough to hide under the porch. behind a bush really ? YDI
humorizer 14
He probably hid on the side of the bush that was closer to the house.
kitkat2014 6
Wow OP, way to pussy out. I'm sure your parents know that you're behind the bush and are in fact teaching YOU the lesson.
ntd309 14
No, theyre prob just having sex…enjoying their alone time.
RedPillSucks 33
that's right OP,they're in the bedroom making a new and improved you.
saffy66 34
Just what I was thinking :)
MissMess 12
You idiot, give your parents some credit. They clearly know you are just attention seeking, which you have proven by hiding behind the bush! Typical 'look at me' teenage behaviour!
ambear26 14
Agreed. The parents probably realize this and that's why they aren't looking.
sarah6786 14
Fool.
