There are stories upon stories about kids calling the cops on their parents for ridiculous—but very real to them—reasons. There’s the nine-year-old in Ontario who called 911 “because her parents told her to pick up her room.” Even better is the tween who called twice (an emergency is an emergency and should be treated as such) because his parents served him salad for dinner, according to the New York Post. My absolute favorite is the anecdote a college professor once told our class. The gist of it was: his daughter wanted a Smurf piñata for her birthday party, she did not get one…and the story tells itself from there.
Nobody is perfect, but if you’re with someone (or are someone) who does any of these things listed below, it might be time to face the fact that your relationship isn’t meant to be.
