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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

People who say ydi, she never said she was on Facebook, it could've been a friend or the owners being weird and creepy.

That did not mean get off Facebook and get on FML, that means take the dog out

That's super creepy and I don't get why everyones being so negative. Maybe she wasn't even on facebook. I say you quit

Some people actually have small cameras placed throughout their houses & can view them on a computer elsewhere or even their phone...I know because I use my iPhone to see who (if anybody) is @ my house while I'm away & I can bring up any 1 of the 6 I want from a grid on my screen. YDI OP, YDI!

This is even funnier for me to read right now since I happen to be dog sitting for my neighbor too :)

In my opinion, I don't see how OP really deserved it. I don't understand why some of you think that OP should have been basically stalking the dogs around the house and doing nothing but that 24/7. Lets say the dog was just laying down resting; why shouldn't OP be allowed to do something else in the meantime?

Wait if there owner said the look like the need to go out, wouldn't that mean that they are somewhere close? Why would you have to dog sit then?
