Today, while working as a paramedic, we got called to an assisted living home. The medical emergency? The woman had a leak in her bathroom and wanted it fixed. FML

Today, I was taking a dump at work at a nursing home. While reaching for the toilet paper, I accidently pushed the emergency button. The nursing supervisors broke into the washroom to help. FML
Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML
Today, while working at my job at a nursing home, I slipped and fell. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just water. No, one of the residents had just had an "accident". FML
Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes. FML
Today, I had to use the bathroom really badly in a drug store. After I did a #2, just as I realized the handle on the toilet was broken, a knock came at the door. I tried fixing it for ten minutes, before slipping out the door, to come face to face with two employees coming to fix the toilet. FML
Today, after disappearing for an unusually long period of time, my boss called the store phone while sitting on the toilet. Turns out she'd started bleeding uncontrollably from the arse, and as the only other female staff member, she needed me to go help her. FML
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML
Today, I received a call while at the dispatch station for the Naval hospital I work at. It was a woman having a panic attack. Apparently, she couldn't plug her vacuum in, and was more or less freaking out. I had to take her in anyway. FML
Today, while I was working a customer notified me that the men's restroom need some attention. Thinking that there was just a small mess, I walked into the restroom only to discover someone had taken a crap in the sink. Guess who got to clean it. FML
Today, when I got home from work, my fiancé was finishing up with the plumber who had just installed new fixtures for our shower. I decided that I was going to be the first to break it in. I went to the bathroom, got undressed and went to start the water. The OTHER plumber was still in there. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What the hell was she thinking when she called you? Can someone be that dumb?

Well, if she had to use the bathroom but couldn't because of said leak, that could be considered an emergency I guess.

Still not her right at all when she was completely fine and could have called anyone else like a Plummer.

This must be "Make a Bad FML Comment Day"....every one I've read this morning has like twenty downvotes.

Actually, all she needed to do was call a nurse at the facility and they would have taken care of it. Sadly, as an Emergency dispatcher, I get calls like this all the time... We have no choice but to send somebody to help...

sadly yes

If she's in an assisted living home, I'm guessing she has some mental issues. So to her, it probably seems like a valid number to call.

Unfortunately yes. You'd be surprised what people will call 911 for
RedPillSucks 31
Yeah, but typically the staff at those places are also alerted. They should have responded first and known enough to call off the paramedics. One can't expect someone at an assisted living facility to always respond rationally. That's why its an "assisted" living facility.

#36 You are so right. I work at an assisted living facility and it is for this season that the residents have to have permission from staff to make a phone call, even from their own cell phones!

I've had people call me to report possible stalkers. I work for a cable company.

You are joking right? He's a paramedic not a plumber.
MidnaLink 33
She's talking about the old lady, not the plumber.

What would have been even funnier is if it were a 'leek' in her toilet
noobsatin 19
leaks are dangerous. she could have drowned.
SmuggletheBudgie 15
I remember being afraid of leaving taps running as a kid I thought every room was water tight so if left unatended the room would fill up in 5 minutes and I would drown.

Now I'm only curious as to whether there was a leak in the bathroom, or whether the woman had a leak, in her bathroom.

Obviously there was a leak in the bathroom that needed fixing..

I hope you went immediately...god knows what would've happened otherwise :-P

Sounds like ****. But I know your feeling, worked as paramedic too...
Enslaved 36
WTF! What type of **** do you watch?! You worked as a paramedic and if you were called to an "assisted living home" you would think about getting laid? :P

Some one has over used rule 34

Something similar happened to my cousin. They got called to an elderly woman's house because she couldn't figure out how to fix her computer.

One time I answered the phone at my grocery store and they asked, "do we turn the clocks back tonight?" I dunno, why'd you call the GROCERY STORE?!
