Today, I was taking a dump in the bathroom. The lights turned off and I was too embarrassed to come out of the stall. The janitor walked in, turned the lights on and asked If anyone was there. I stayed quiet. He turned the lights back off and locked me in the bathroom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was using a public restroom when the lights suddenly turned off. Panicking, I waved my arms around, trying to trigger the motion sensor, but nothing happened. I had to finish in the dark, and as I was leaving, the janitor noticed me, turned the lights back on, and said, “Yeah, I turned those off earlier to save power. Hope you were OK in there.” FML
Today, while at work I went to use the public restroom because I had a severe case of diarrhea. All went well until the timed sensor lights went off and I couldn't leave my stall to get them back on. I sat there for thirty minutes in pure darkness. FML
Today, at work, I was on the toilet for so long the motion lights turned off. I stood up, pants around my ankles and began waving my arms above the stall to get them to turn on again. At that exact moment, my boss walked in. FML
Today, I went to the restroom at work, but I forgot the press on the button/timer because the lights were already on, then the lights turned off while I was in the stall. I had to finish my business and exit the pitch-black restroom while trying not to bump into anything or anyone. FML
Today, I stayed late at work to finish a project. The lights are motion-sensor activated, and they turned off while I was in the bathroom. I stumbled out in total darkness and screamed when I saw a shadowy figure. It was the janitor. He screamed too. We both apologized to each other for way too long. FML
Today, I was in the bathroom at work when I ran out of toilet paper. There was another guy in the restroom so I asked him if he could hand me a roll. He laughed, called me a dumbass, turned off the lights and walked out. FML
Today, I had to go to the bathroom, but the door was closed. I waited until I was pretty much about to explode, and eventually yelled, "Are you okay?" and my roommate replied, "What are you talking about? Oh, sorry. I left the light on." How do you close the door and forget to turn off the light? FML
Today, I was in a public toilet, enduring an extremely awkward silence between myself and the person in the next stall. In my rush to get out of there, I managed to get my ass stuck in the toilet seat, and ended up being pulled out by the maintenance men. FML
Today, I was in my family's hotel room taking a dump. The lock to the bathroom was broken so we had made a deal: when the door is closed, someone is using the toilet. The maid didn't know that. She punched me in the face because she claimed I scared her. FML
Today, I was using a public toilet stall when the lock gave way, and the door swung open halfway. I froze, and the person who was washing his hands at the sinks looked at me in the mirror and awkwardly said, “I see you.” I muttered, “I’m sorry,” as he walked out looking like he'd seen a ghost. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah, everybody poops. There's even a book about it. The only reason you'd be that embarrassed is if you were really masterbating in that public washroom..

Those are some angry questions...no need to yell #1...
whY402Jay 12
Those are technically not questions.
fml121785 14
Ha! What a pussy!
Bakarra 22
I can see how the second sentence is a hypothetical question but the first one isn't? "Why are you embarrassed?" Could easily have an answer and is therefore a question
Sekkaichi 12
Mods fix the post: * too embarrassed
Bakarra 22
Excuse me, rhetorical* not hypothetical
tswizz 13
21 technically they are questions. Any sentence that begins with who, what, when, where, why and how is a question. Inb4 no shit Sherlock.

"WHAT I want to do on the other side with WHO I want and WHERE I want is none of your business. WHEN I go I don't want you to know HOW, or even WHY I decided to cross the road." - The Chicken Yeah those weren't questions

Bakarra- Your order has arrived. One swift kick in the nuts.

Those were very much in fact questions...not our problem he forgot to use correct punctuation.
simplysarcastics 26
Cool and yeah I forgot two silly questions marks!! Goodness gracious, please tell me how it affected your life so greatly. Everyone still knows what I meant. But technically I was stating facts not asking, simply because I already know the answers to my questions.
Bakarra 22
Nobody here was upset, you just used exclamation points so I said not to yell...a joke...
simplysarcastics 26
Lol I wasn't talking to you Bakara.
Marmarfarfar 25
Why wouldn't you respond OP?
Marmarfarfar 25
Nothing to really be embarrassed of we all gotta go sometimes! Better responding then getting locked in!
doodlecloud 27
I don't think it's so much the embarrassment of being in the loo (though that is embarassing enough for some people) as it is that OP was in the loo long enough for the light to turn off. That IS embarassing, even when it's the light's fault for being on a ridiculously short timer. Plus, it doesn't actually say that the janitor said 'I'm the janitor and I want to lock up'. I'm assuming he literally just said 'anyone in there?' otherwise OP would have said something. So he wasn't really to know what consequences not answering would have - he was probably just trying to ignore what he thought was a random bathroom creep.

OP, YDI big time. don't go running to people saying FML when you PUT YOURSELF in that situation.

shitty
Bakarra 22
Your comment belongs in the toilet man. So overused, it's dead and needs to be flushed away...

We can kill it with fire as well!

spaboolly 26
Seriously? I can understand it being awkward, but come on. All you had to do was say "yes." What, was the janitor going to hang around waiting for you to finish just so he could make fun of you for executing a simple bodily function that everyone does when you came out of the stall?
ambitiousnygrl 17
Exactly! I have social anxiety, but I'd be more worried about getting locked in and having to draw attention to myself by having to call for help or being discovered when the Janitor unlocked the door the following morning.
RedPillSucks 33
I'm confused as to why the janitor would lock the bathroom door, unless OP was in the bathroom well after closing time.

Dude, everyone takes dumps no need to be embarrassed... these people always seem to be in the dark about this.

Well, what did you expect was going to happen?
brewmasterg 34
You had difficulty formulating a one word response where you could retain anonymity. How do you function on a day to day basis?
maryiah 21
Well, at least you didn't get locked in some place without a toilet.
ironichalibut 24
And there's water, so you'll be good for just under a week at least OP.
RodzillaX 30
Nothing like good ol toilet water to keep you going!

The sink, genius.

Sarcasm, genius.

OP, what did you expect to happen? Obviously if he thinks there's no one in there, he is going to lock it up. YDI.
