Stories About Family Members Who Are Worse Than Strangers
The story shared is about a frustrating and unsettling situation where a woman’s mother unexpectedly involved the police because she couldn’t reach her daughter early in the morning. The daughter and her husband keep their phones on silent until at least 10 a.m. on weekends. The mother had sent a screenshot of the water meter early in the morning, but when she didn’t get a response, she assumed something was wrong and called the police, believing her daughter was missing. The husband, who also hadn’t heard the calls, only realized what had happened when the police arrived to search for the “missing” person. The woman was understandably upset by the unnecessary panic, especially given that they were both adults and well past the age where such extreme measures should have been necessary.
