Today, my roommate called me, but she's a cunt so I ignored her. A few hours later, I found out her mom and dad were in a serious car accident and she needed a ride to go see them at the hospital. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was hit by a car. I called my girlfriend from the hospital and asked her if she could pick me up. She responded by saying "Fuck you, you aways tell me what to do!" and hung up. FML
Today, I was released from hospital after being in a car accident. I used the phone book to call people I know to get a ride home, as my wallet and cellphone were still in the wrecked car. I had called my mom to come get me, but her response was "I don't feel like it." I live with her. FML
Today, I was supposed to see an apartment. Thirty minutes after I was to meet the owner, she still hadn't shown. I called her. When I got no response, I was annoyed and kept calling. Finally, she answered, said, "I'm in the hospital with my father. He just died. Please stop calling me," and hung up. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. When I came home, I told my mom. She just got angry with me, blamed me for it, and didn't even ask if I was OK. FML
Today, it was my mother’s birthday. I was on my way to pick up her cake but I got into a car accident and ended up in the emergency room. When I call her to explain what happened, she called me an useless fuck for ruining her birthday by not bringing the cake. She’s yet to ask if I'm okay. FML
Today, I was hit by a car while riding my bike, so I called my dad for help. He blamed me for the accident, said he wasn't sure what I wanted him to do, and suggested I call my mom instead. She isn't picking up. FML
Today, after my at-the-time partner got in a car wreck with minimal injuries, I drove two hours and got a week off classes to take care of them on hand and foot, they are currently my platonic roommate and I nearly broke my foot… and they keep acting annoyed when I ask for something because I can't walk. FML
Today, I woke up to my mom calling me. I'm 90 miles away, staying at my cousin's. Someone shit on the windshield of her car, and she is blaming my friends, and is pissed at me who is out of town, and my friends who I believe were driving to a out of state concert. FML
Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML
Today, I got hit by a car. My friends left me to get to the hospital myself. The cab was double fare. FML

Usually if you don't like someone and they don't like you they wouldn't call you unless it was something important and they absolutely had to.

You shouldn't ignore your roommate because they're a ****, what if it was about the house or dorm?

Ya, the main reason I feel like op should answer her phone when her roommate calls is because it could be something about the house they live in. It could be something like someone broke in, or there was something wrong with the pipes and now there's a flood, or any other number of things that have to do with the house.

My thoughts exactly. Also OP, did she bother texting you after you did not pick up? Since it is 2015, I'm assuming this was on a mobile phone with texting capabilities.

We don't know if the roommate has a history of calling unnecessarily though. It could just be an unfortunate case of the boy who cried wolf.
ladycoco8 20
I'm going to go out on a limb and say the roommate does like OP, and OP doesn't like the roommate. That's why it makes more sense that the roommate is calling OP for something important. Idk. If it were me, I wouldn't call someone I didn't like for something critical.

73- But you would if none of your friends had a car or were desperate.

That isn't true, sometimes people who are total ***** don't even know it and think the world revolves around them. The poster could have been a pushover to how nasty she is and finally decided to not answer the phone. There is NO ******* WAY they could have known this happened, and had the FML been because they wanted a ride to the mailbox and back, rather than the hospital, you'd all say their life sucks. The reason they called shouldn't matter. FYL that sucks, you don't deserve it.

i am literally seeing your comments on every post. what is your secret!?
tlnorman 18
That's was a jerk move on your part OP
countryguy91290 16
wrong cause OP has no obligation to give "**** roomate" a ride. roommate could have called a taxi if it was that dire of an emergency.
ShleeG 23
#40 sure... so anytime you need a ride somewhere, your first thought is to call a taxi and not someone who lives with you?
icemand90 17
yes
Skoff_fml 27
Ehh don't feel too bad, you had no reasonable expectation that it would be a serious issue like that and frankly terrible people have no reasonable expectation that other won't ignore them.

Exactly. It's not OP's fault that the roommate was having an emergency. I'm sure she wasn't mad at you specifically afterwards, she just really needed to go see her parents. You had no way of knowing. The only thing you can do knowing this now is trying to be extra nice and considerate!!:) good luck

You screwed up horribly.

Seriously? Damn did you lose your heart in an elementary school bet? Did you accidentally touch the lava when crossing from the kiddy playground to the normal-sized playground? If that's the case you still suck cause you're not supposed to touch the freaking lava.
megan_login 6
what
Lalala579121 28
15 - Don't touch the lava.

Wrong FML, dude.
enginsteve 17
what in the ****?! I think bigmusclebro might have just won a bet or something..
LORDLYPSO 15
I think he is trying to say that the OP is heartless...
bigmusclebro 20
I'm glad to know someone has a functional brain in here.
odod777 28
That's not very nice of you, but you can tell her that you didn't see your phone..
thejonac 21
and that would make OP feel like a much better person?
jonomc 12
Not your fault she's a "****" no need to feel guilt. It was an accident and nothing to do with you.
ChopSuey444 20
See this is the appropriate response. I feel sorry for her and her parents, but if she's honestly a bad person, then she shouldn't have expected someone she's . . . ****-ish(?) towards to be there for her. It's not hard to maintain a professional type of politeness with people you don't like, especially if you have to interact with them often. And this just proves that you never know when you'll need them.

I wouldn't ignore anyone's call, even if I disliked them... Maybe that was a crappy move on your part but it's done now. I wish all the best for the parents.
kbecks87 16
Who doesn't screen calls? What's the point of caller ID if not to protect me from accidentally answering the calls of people I don't want to talk to? If the roommate needed a ride badly and no friends/family members were answering their phones, they could easily call a taxi or an uber. Your not obligated to answer a phone or give someone a ride.

These are college students, while you do whatever you have to when you're in college, I wouldn't make the assumption that *anyone* in college has money for things like that.. it's bad enough that this person's parents were in a terrible crash, but to also make them spend money they don't have? That's just not nice
booze_n_bitches 37
But surely OP is also a poor student and she can't afford extra fuel to the hospital? She's not gonna give her a lift and say "hope your parents are alive and all, but can you give a fiver for the fuel, please?"
Lalala579121 28
Wouldn't ignoring someone (especially a roommate) for being a **** kinda make you a **** too?
HeartYou101 31
Not really - What if the reason the OP ignores the roommate is because the roommate is a bully/nasty to the OP or robs OP's things? That's what I'd classify as a ****, not ignoring a call; most cases that's just rude, but sometimes people have their reasons. The OP probably ignored the call because they thought why should they have to listen to someone they don't like outside of the time they have to see them. And to be honest, the roommate could have text OP after they rang to explain what happened.
