Helicopter Parents
Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.
Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

Missing
Went to Thailand for a month, inbox got full on email and had no mobile phone (this was back in 2000).
I wasn't recieving email replies due to unaware inbox was full, so stopped sending emails after a week into a month long trip.
Parents reaction to lack of email replies from me = report me missing to the UK consulate in Thailand, and phone up my girlfriend asking if she'd heard anything - making her also a bit concerned.
They were a nice suprise waiting for me at the airport, and then I had to go to a Police Station and take myself of the national missing persons list.
That is all.

How do you do that?
"Uh, hi there... I think I'm on the National Missing Persons register."
"So?"
"Well... well, I'm no longer missing. Look, I'm right here."

My parents were probably within their rights to overreact. I am a fuckwit.
