Today, my neighbor called me on vacation to tell me that she let my mother into my house to feed my fish. I don't have fish, and my mother passed away 3 years ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML
Today, I was making the daily commute to work when suddenly my mother calls me, crying that there's been a death in the family, then abruptly hangs up. I speed home, to find my mother holding the tiny corpse of a fish that she got 2 weeks ago. I got fired for being late to work. FML
Today, my 9 year-old little sister is coming back to town with the rest of my family. She specifically asked me to feed her fish. I totally forgot until she called me 10 minutes ago to tell me she was on her way home and couldn't wait to see her fishie. He's dead. FML
Today, my friend is furious with me because while I was watching her various fish for two weeks, I failed to feed her favorite fish and it died. The reason I didn't take care of it was because she never told me she had it, that it was in her room unlike the rest of the fish, so I never saw it. FML
Today, I called my mother who is vacationing in Florida with my dad and sister. Before they left I told them I would be very responsible and that they could trust me. The first thing she asked me is if all the animals were still alive. I said yes. I lied. Her favourite cat drowned in the pool. FML
Today, I was speaking to an old friend and I asked her how her mother was. She replied, "She passed away, you came to her funeral last month." FML
Today, I came home after having traveled abroad for the last two months. Before I left, I'd asked my dad to take care of my fish, and he promised they'd be safe with him. I found them all decomposing. FML
Today, I went to see a fortune teller. She said one of my closest friends will die soon because of me. Frightened I hurried home to avoid meeting anyone I know. At home I found my goldfish floating on its back. Apparently I forgot to feed my closest friend for the past 3 days. FML
Today, I listened to a voicemail from my mom about how she misses me and can't wait to see me when I get back from vacation. Thinking she hung up, my mother then had a conversation with my aunt about how quiet the house is without me and how she'd be blessed if I didn't come home. FML
Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML

Her story sounds a bit... Fishy.

That "mother" of yours was definitely fishing for something, and it most definitely wasn't for fish o.O.

That neighbor is an idiot. Calling you before letting a stranger in your house might have been more logical than waiting till after a potential robbery has been committed. This is a warning me to though, now I'll be careful to make sure I leave neighbors in charge who know my family.

I feel like I read a super similar, if not the same fml a couple weeks ago. But ya I would be pissed! It's odd that your neighbor has access to your house...and that this random women knew to come to your place? Hmm

I would've called BEFORE I let her in...

First, how did your neighbor let someone into your house unless you gave them a key? Sounds to me like you set yourself up for that one. I would also be keeping a closer eye on your neighbor as well, they might have been in on it and been trying to cover their ass.

So #1, why would you give your house key to a random neighbour who knows nothing about you? Generally if you give someone your key while you're away, it's so they can look after your house and any pets you might have, right? In which the neighbour should have at least known you don't have fish, and should have used common sense to realize that if you don't have pets, and he/she is the one watching your house, then there's no reason for "your mom" to be there so obviously something is up. Which leads to #2, if they had your phone number, why the **** didn't they call before letting the woman in, to make sure it was okay, rather than calling after to let you know they'd already let her in? I think you and your neighbour are both dumbasses.
