Today, I'm stuck in a ramshackle house that my aunt bought and moved everyone out to. Only one bathroom works, and she won't let us flush it because the house keeps flooding. Four people are stuck here with just one toilet filled with poop and urine, while she's been staying at a friend's house. FML

Today, my entire family, myself included, has been turned into a collective diarrhea fountain after going out to eat. We only have one bathroom. FML

Today, I'm stuck at home waiting on a plumber to come fix the flooding in my basement. The flooding happens when any sink, shower, or toilet in the house is used. Today is also the day that I started my period. Without water. FML

Today, I had to pee in the kitchen sink because my bathroom is being completely revamped, and the only other toilet in the house is my parents'. They refuse to let anyone use it. FML

Today, I traveled to my hometown for a funeral. I'm staying with my family in the house I grew up in. My dad told me they'd "completely renovated" the house. There's still only one bathroom for the seven of us and I'm sleeping on the floor for the entire two weeks. FML

Today, a cyclone hit my city. Though everywhere else is flooding, my house is fine. Well, that was until the toilet decided to overflow and regurgitate the entire town's sewerage. So now my only bathroom is covered in sewage, and I can't go anywhere else because of the flooding. FML

Today, I took a big, smelly, satisfying dump when I woke up. When I tried to flush, nothing happened. None of my four roommates bothered to tell me we didn’t have running water. FML

Today, the toilet on the top floor of my house burst, soaked the bathroom, and water dripped down into the kitchen and the basement for hours when nobody was home. Eight blowers and a dehumidifier later, the house is about 90 degrees and I can't leave. FML

Overreach

Today, I'm banned from the only working bathroom in my house because my mother is cleansing for an upcoming colonoscopy. My options are either a bucket in the basement, or wetting myself. FML

Cringe

Today, there was a potluck at my girlfriend's house. I had a sour stomach, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I flushed, nothing happened. They had to call a plumber to fix the toilet filled with my crap. The whole family watched, noses plugged and faces cringed, looking at me. 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

Just keep using the bathrooms, including the one that's broken, until she gets back. Then she'll have to deal with the consequences of her absence.

Seems like a shitty situation urine. But really you should try to find another place.

I'm assuming you're a minor who can't just leave? Take this opportunity to learn inexpensive/free home repair. If you break it... oh well.

what a bitch!! i'd put her face first onto the toilet before shit gets that bad.

I am amused by the fact that you said poop and urine. Like you used the slang for solid waste but the medical term for liquid.

Haha, I actually thought about that when I submitted this. I just didn't like the way the other terms sounded when I read it back to myself, so I left it. Nice catch. x

if you can't even flush it because it makes the house flood I wouldn't really consider that bathroom "working"

If you have no other options in the house, I would utilize public bathrooms as much as possible.

Who the hell buys a house where the only bathroom doesn't work properly? Don't you get that checked out first? Regardless, that's pretty insensitive of your aunt to just leave everyone there knowing what the problems are.

Go to the hardware store and get a toilet plunger, a plumbing 'snake' pipe cleaner, and new latch/lock hardware for all the exterior doors. Use all of those to make the house livable for you and to keep auntie hypocrite out.

This is a violation of the health and safety code. You can call the Dept. of Family and Children Services for your area and they will come and make her fix it if anyone in the home is under 18. The problem is if she refuses to fix it, they will take the family members under 18 and place them with another relative or in foster care, so really think it over.
