Today, I put my headphones on and laid down to relax to some music. I fell asleep, and woke up later to a police officer busting into my house. My neighbor had been knocking on my door, then looked through my window and saw me on my couch, and was convinced I'd died. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up at three in the morning when two cops busted in the door to my apartment and a frantic voice on my cellphone saying "Sir? Sir? Are you all right? Sir?" Turns out I had been having a nightmare and dreamed I called 911. I actually did. FML
Today, I slipped as I was about to take a shower, knocking myself out cold. I woke up to someone banging on my door. It was a cop checking to see if I was okay. When I asked how he knew to come, he said he was notified by "a male neighbor who called anonymously." I guess I have a peeping Tom. FML
Today, I stopped by my elderly mother’s house to drop off some groceries. I decided to clean the place while I was there, just to be nice. In true Three Bears fashion, I fell asleep on the couch. I was awoken by a police officer pointing his gun at me. My mom woke up and thought I was a burglar. FML
Today, while I was cleaning, listening to music and sometimes singing along, I heard a knock on my front door. I turned off the music and opened the door to the police, who stated they had to investigate reports of "repeated female screams" coming from my apartment. I'm a 23 year old man. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I fell asleep in my living room. When I woke up, I saw a man leaving my bedroom wearing my pajamas, and I started screaming as he casually left. The cops came and apparently he's mentally ill. He truly believed it was his house. FML
Today, I took a nap on my couch. I woke up three hours later to my neighbor knocking on my door, asking if I was OK because looking from the outside in, they thought I was dead. Guess I sleep like I’ve been hit by a truck. FML
Today, I decided I'd take a nap in my car because I got to work very early. As I was waking up from my nap, I saw a cop looking right at me. Turns out, a lady who'd parked her car right next to mine after I was asleep had called the cops on me because she thought I was dead. FML
Today, I lost my house keys while staggering home drunk, so I decided to climb through an opened window and promptly went to bed. Twenty minutes later the police wake me up while attempting to search my place. The neighbors thought I was a burglar and called the cops. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to find that I had slept through my house getting robbed. FML
Today, I had a rough day and was extremely tired. I took a nap on the couch, and woke up to a guy robbing my house. I pretended I was still sleeping, waiting a chance to grab him or run out safely. I ended up falling back asleep. FML

Look at the bright side OP, your neighbour cares about you enough to check if you're alive.

At least someone cares enough to do that..even your neighbour!

Huh? I accept everyone. Adam5858, I love you.

What is actually going on
XxDevilxXGt 26
The neighbor didn't really check anything, he just assumed OP had died. Maybe he was excited and waiting for the moment so he can rob OP right after. :p
cryssycakesx3 23
op was really relaxed...

This had the opposite effect of Weekend at Bernie's...

Now let's see if they care enough to pay for your new door...

FYL since the neighbour jumped to the worst conclusion too soon. And bless your life for having a caring neighbor.

I agree. I've read FMLs where people pretend to be dead and even their pets don't care, let alone their families. Shout out to vigilant neighbours! Keep being nosy one day we'll need it.
MrConcise 35
I wouldn't notify anybody. OP couldn't care about a cop busting in if he were dead, but he would mind if he were just asleep. Perhaps I'm just a bad neighbor. Maybe that's why my rent is double everybody else's in my area...
Brandi_Faith 34
65, So you would just leave a dead body to rot until someone else found it?
MrConcise 35
That's what they do, don't they? Besides, there's a point where you can't confuse dead for sleeping.

Look on the bright side, at least you're not dead
Adam5858 17
Thats one way of puting it!
nlm92 15
Yeah, thankfully the cop didn't shoot him lol
Edumcg 24
#82 In what scenario would he shoot him? ....Oh I get it! To make sure he's really dead?
myoukei 31
I think the bright side is that op gets a new door :)

Were you, by any chance, playing "Let the bodies hit the floor"?

No neighbor was bring a dick, OP should've burnt down their home a while ago, therefore YDI OP.
sydstoomuch 19
Definitely not an fml IMO. It's a good thing he cared enough to call for help just incase
Adam5858 17
You would think he would have seen your headphones
JJ_86 22
Probably not if it was the In Ear buds model.
Adam5858 17
Yea thats true
JunglePanfa 11
If it was an 'in ear buds' model, then they'd be earphones, not headphones :)
91hayek 31
Well people can die with headphones on.
DanielleinDC 34
If OP has long enough hair, it may have hidden the headphones.
Brandi_Faith 34
Or maybe he saw the headphones but it didn't look like he was breathing. Plus the neighbour probably banged on the door a few times really loudly and thought there was no way he wouldn't be able to hear that even with music on.
lil_miss_simran 15
at least your neighbors care about you

At least they called the cops. I woulda said **** it.
pureportedpear 27
Sound rough man, I'd die of embarrassment if I was you.
qdawg06 23
I would think the neighbour would be more embarrassed...
Axipiter 24
I dunno, I'd be pretty embarassed for, you know, taking a nap.
