Today, after heavy rain my street flooded. While in my living room, I looked outside to see that my elderly neighbour was outside splashing in a knee deep puddle. He was butt-naked and wearing a snorkel and flippers. FML

Today, I decided to go for a swim in a river to cool off. Not having a bathing suit, I went in nude. After a refreshing swim, and coming back to shore completely naked, I was greeted by a shocked young woman walking her dog. FML

Today, I went skinny-dipping with my best friend. We were on the beach and it was fairly crowded but we got in the water at this really secluded area. While we were swimming I looked up to see a homeless man wearing my clothes, walking away. FML

Today, I discovered my elderly neighbour likes to roam around his yard naked and wash his balls with the sprinkler. I'm never going to grab a snack in my kitchen again. FML

Today, I got up from bed after a good night's sleep, and walked outside. The first thing I saw was my 60-ish year-old neighbor bent over, picking up a newspaper. He was wearing nothing but a way too short bathrobe and a pair of rubber boots. FML

Today, my friend and I decided to go skinny-dipping in her pool just after we'd finished watching a scary movie. While we were in the pool, I heard something move in the bushes so I freaked out and ran onto the deck, slipping and falling flat on my back. Her dad saw the whole thing. FML

Today, my neighbour decided to get high while leaving his bathtub running, resulting in passing out and starting a flood in the hallways. FML

Today, it's raining pretty hard and there are a bunch of puddles everywhere. I’m in a full rain suit and great boots, so instead of walking around the puddles, I decided to walk through the biggest one, only to drop down 4 feet, all because the city didn’t cover up a massive manhole. FML

Today, it's been two days since my upstairs neighbour's toilet started flooding both our apartments. I have to go to the bathroom with an umbrella. FML

Today, a neighbour called to say my water tank burst. A colleague followed me home to help, took off his shirt so it wouldn't get wet and climbed through my window to get to the roof. My boyfriend unexpectedly came home as we were emerging from the bedroom. My colleague was still buttoning his shirt up. FML

At least he's making the best of it. Maybe you should follow his example.

Elderly people seem to understand, that since they are old the might as well have fun. It may be a disturbing sight, but at least he is making the most of his life. I think you might need some brain bleach though.

Sounds like the neighbor has the right idea. Maybe you should join? Bet you would make his day if you did.

Yes, strip down and go play in contaminated water. When the street is flooded, so is the sewer

63 - I think you mean storm drains. Storm drains do not equal sewer (sewage) drains. Sewage drains do not "overflow" when it rains unless the pipes have ruptured. Sewage drains are completely sealed and go to treatment plants. Storm drains are (usually) not required to get treated and in many areas simply drain into the nearest large body of water. In CT or MA, if you go to the beach you're playing in the same water that came from the storm drains.

I agree. I thought that was awesome! Funny as all get out and maybe a bit strange but this would make me chuckle and remind me to live a little. Neither FML or deserved rather, think different.
