Today, I found out why we've had to replace 3 washing machines this year. My sister thinks that "huge capacity" means "load the washing machine until no more clothes will fit." It blows the motor every time. She's 31. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, after spending $300 replacing a dryer and getting the vents cleaned out when our tenants complained their clothes weren't getting dry, my husband and I realized that it was actually the washing machine that was broken. FML
Today, while a very cute girl was explaining the apartment's laundry machines to me, I blurted out, "It's okay, my pants are used to handling huge loads". FML
Today, I learned that my mother counts my jeans as two pairs when she counts how many she's putting in for a load of wash. I've gotten that fat. FML
Today, I got stuck in my washing machine. When my sister saw me, she just left me there. FML
Today, I noticed that my clothes had shrunk. My mother seemed to be having trouble with the new washer and dryer so I tried to show her exactly how they work. After my explanation she said, "I know how they work. I shrank your clothes to give you some incentive to lose all that belly you got." FML
Today, I got a new washer and dryer set. It's sad when all you have to do at night is make popcorn and watch the clothes washing. I even invited friends over. FML
Today, at the laundromat. I loaded a huge load into the top dryer, put all the quarters in, and started the bottom one. I realized my mistake when I came to check on it. FML
Today, after my washing machine broke yesterday in the middle of a cycle, I went and spent $1400 on a new one. Also today, my dryer started to smoke and almost caught my clothes on fire. There goes another $1000. FML
Today, my dryer was finally repaired after not working for over a month. I did one load of laundry and my washer stopped working. Another day, another $400+ repair bill. FML
Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow! She's a special kind of stupid isn't she? Make her read the instruction manual next time. Jesus.

So does she fill her mug with coffee till it's overflowing? She's 31, it's time to grow up. Make her pay for it. She will understand real quick what the problem was

I know, three times? That is when you hand her a washboard instead, better yet just give her some rocks to beat the dirt out with.

Her motto, "Shove till you can't shove no more."

getting sick of the "special kind of stupid" comments... she's JUST STUPID. I've seen far worse cases.

Relax^ would you rather have me say the word "retarded"? Calm down.

#55 that does qualify as 'special kind of stupid' for me. To do it once is stupid, but doing it 3 times and not realising that you're breaking the machine is exceptional.

don't bring Jesus into this...

My wife does that too. I blame the manufacturers. They never explain, in simple words, the limitations of their products. And my wife thinks I'm trying to outsmart her when I explain to her!

Haha reminds me of cake boss when buddys cousin drove a diesel truck and put in regular gas in it 5 times before realizing it was regular gas lmao

82- A wife that can't wash clothes properly!? What are going to say next she can't cook or clean!? *He said sarcasticly*

#60: exceptionally stupid is the perfect word for that. Thank you for that one.

I hope she pays for the new ones other than that she's a idiot fyl op.

we know who got the brains

Hopefully they were under warrantee since it was under a year! Assuming they thought it was some mechanical malfunction, until OP found this out...
MrsDruidess 23
I got an idea, change the living situation!! She's how old and is either living with you (my guess since they way you worded it sounds like you are paying for this) or you're significantly younger and she's bringing her stuff home to mommies house. Either way she's too old for that! And you guys let it happen 3 times? You do know the saying "fool me once . . . " don't you?

Your sister is an idiot

You could say She's not the brightest crayon in the box
Catkam623 27
The biggest tool in the shed?
Wizardo 33
I think you may be looking for 'brightest bulb' and 'sharpest tool', these alternate versions aren't the brightest tools in the crayon shed unfortunately.
dawnimus 21
I've heard "brightest crayon" many times; just because you personally don't know a colloquial phrase doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Rodville 28
That one is "sharpest tool in the shed"

"Time to grow up" passed a long time ago

She must be used to the laundromat front load ones, just load them until they're full.
Ki11erC 18
What if I were to tell you almost all washing machines were front load and anything but was archaic ;)
Rawr6591 21
even those have a limit

Inform her that she is dumb. Rinse and repeat.

Unfortunatly, stupidity is a genetic stain you simply cant wash out.
RoboCunnilingus 23
I thought dumb was dry clean only.
Wizardo 33
OP's sister is a half load on an economy wash. What a washout.
ILoveMyArm 15
But I thought the washing machine likes getting wet?

I can't be mad, i hate having to do more than 3 loads max
littlemoon23 7
We all hate doing laundry but think of it this way: would you rather do more loads of laundry or would you rather pay for a new washer?
Wowxoxo 17
More than 3 loads?! How much clothes do you have..
ChibiChibi_fml 27
People don't just wash their clothes. Ideally you wash your sheets and blankets at least once a week. Plus curtains occasionally need to be washed. Really any not dry clean only fabric needs to be washed on occasion. Plus multiple people means a lot of washing to do.

Well I'm 22 and this is officially good to know before I hit my 30's.
hcollins1 18
I'm 22 and even I know not to overfill the washer. Even if I accidentally put a little more than I should, my washer will stop and will alert us if its too full or if it has any other issue. It's really not that hard of a concept.

You should get her brain replaced too.
