Today, while housesitting my neighbor's dogs the phone rang. I answered it and a voice said, "Stop checking your Facebook and take care of my dogs. They look like they need to go out." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML
Today, my neighbor let me know that they've been taking care of my cats while I was away, including letting them in and out of my house. I don't own a cat. FML
Today, I heard someone calling my name. It was my neighbor. Turns out they named their dogs after my mother, my sister, and me. FML
Today, while on vacation, I called my home phone to check the messages. Someone answered. FML
Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML
Today, I found my dogs freezing outside. My neighbor was supposed to watch them while I was away, and on my way home I called to let her know she should let them have a quick walk. She thought I'd be home soon enough that she wouldn't have to let them back in. It was minus 10°C out. FML
Today, my pregnant wife paged my emergency line at work. Thinking she was in serious danger, I raced home and found her hysterically crying. When I asked her what was going on, she replied, "The dogs won't stop barking!" FML
Today, I came home to find a window broken and my neighbours searching inside my house. Apparently, they'd heard a small child asking for help inside my house. I recently taught my dog to "talk." FML
Today, my dog was barking at a squirrel in the yard. I opened the door to let him chase the squirrel. I went to look at the dead squirrel and found out it was the neighbor's chihuahua. FML
Today, my dog somehow figured out how to open the sliding glass door while I was taking a nap. I woke up to a text from my neighbor, saying, “Your damn dog is running around at the park annoying a bunch of strangers for food. You might want to come and grab her.” FML

Their money, their house, their rules.

Even if you were on Facebook who gives a crap?! They're dogs not kids ...the creepy part here is that this person knew you were on Facebook at all...

That's creepy that they knew. It's their house and their rules but it's not like they are kids where they need to be watched constantly.

What do you guys expect her to do? Stay over there 24/7. You don't know the whole story. She could've checked on them, didn't need anything and went back and got on her computer for awhile.

Honestly, regardless of whether you're paid or not, it's obviously cheaper to pay you than to kennel, and so you're doing them a favor... So as for the camera, I can understand then not wanting their house destroyed, but watching your personal habits and calling you on it while you're helping them is unacceptable. I would not only take the dogs to a kennel and charge it to them, but never speak to them again. I have an anti-stupidity policy.

That isn't true. I'm paid more a day to dog sit for my neighbor's at their house then it would to take them to a kennel. But I do an amazing job, and don't just sit there playing on the computer or watching TV the entire time. The OP is more worried about talking to people on Facebook then to take care of the dogs SHE is gettig paid to do. YDI

Aw the world is full of tards... I've seen dogs eat a dead dog, they'd be fine without supervision, so paying that much is dumb.

133, you can't just take other peoples dogs to a kennel & charge it to them, unless you want a lawsuit for abandoning your job (& their pets)...amazing that you claim to have an "anti-stupid" policy...especially since your comment proved exactly the opposite.

You're "house-sitting" your neighbours "dogs"?

And nobody thinks it's creepy the neighbor is watching the housesitter? OK.

140, nope...don't think that @ all...why should I let someone rummage through my house, boogers on my couch, possibly steal from me (yes, I have cameras in my house & I let sitters know before hand) & why waste good money I've paid them only to find them on FB & my house full of poo cause they didn't walk my dogs? Some people on here just seem to have no real logic...if they're doing what they are there for then there shouldn't be an issue.

Stop submitting FMLs and go take care of my dogs; they look like they're hungry.

If it is immensely hard for you to understand what she's saying then maybe you're just stupid. It wasn't that poorly written.
