Today, my landlord came over while I wasn't home. My friend and her pets were thrown out by her husband. I'm the only person she knows in this state and she begged me to stay. I reluctantly told her fine; just don't answer the door. She did, with the animals, and told him she was living here. FML
I agree, your life sucks (17199) - you totally deserved it (3268)

That's what I was going to say, Alex.
OP, you're friend is an idiot. She's not wort it.

Wow... That sucks! I'd kick her ass out and try and kiss your landlord's ass.

So....?
I have never heard of a lease that prohibits house-guests. Pets, yes, but not house guests or roommates.
#7 - On 11/03/2009 at 2:25pm by ozymandias
I've had leases that prohibited guests for longer than so many days. (A week, I think.)
#8 - On 11/03/2009 at 2:31pm by trogdor_ca
By telling him that she lived there, that implied the pets lived there too (and she wasn't just visiting with them).
She deserves it. Why is it FYL? She was stupid enough to open the damn door.
Now you know why she was stuck with youm becayse she's an idiot!
#12 - On 11/03/2009 at 2:35pm by whatxthexeff
It's not really FYL, unless your lease gets broken because of her stupidity...then yes, FYL indeed. Sorry you have dumbass friends who don't know how to listen.
Some landlords prohibit 'roommates' who are not paying their share of the rent. Some landlords also prohibit animals without a cover payment. I'm guessing this landlord prohibits both.
Yeah, FYL dude. Kick her ass.

Kick her out, and send her to a woman's shelter. That's what they're there for. Explain to your landlord what happened, and that she was only supposed to be there temporarily while she got back on her feet, but apparently your friend thought it was more permanent. Maybe he'll cut you some slack.
My landlord has a strict policy about pets. if they find out one is in your house, not only do you immediately have to pay the deposit, you have to pay extra as like...a fine. Plus, she said there's a good chance you'll lose a lot of your deposit when you move out! That's even if someone is just VISITING with a pet.
FYL! Kick her out!
As mean as it is, I think you have to kick her out. She did the /one/ thing you asked her not to do and therefore she does not deserve your friendship and help.
I think your friend would benefit from a few semesters at Hard Knock University. Maybe it'll teach her some sense. Enrolling her is easy: just kick her out of your apartment. Hopefully you can explain things to your landlord and avoid getting evicted.

I second this notion.
If I were OP, her ass would be gone. I wouldn't give a shit if I was her only friend in the state. FUCK that shit.
#46 - On 11/03/2009 at 5:29pm by Boxingsweets
YDI if your landlord says no animals then that means no animals if you get kicked out then oh well you broke the rules now pay the consequences.
#36 - On 11/03/2009 at 4:29pm by bullshitdetector
Your friend is a total fucking idiot. You should kick her the fuck out too!
#37 - On 11/03/2009 at 4:31pm by noshitsherlock
To the people saying it is poorly written, the fact that you cannot understand english isn't exactly the fault of the OP. I can understand it just fine. Then again, I'm not 12.
It isn't that it is hard to understand, it's that the wording is very poor. And if you can't see that, then you must have the writing skills of a 12 year old.
#40 - On 11/03/2009 at 5:00pm by GreenHacker
This is poorly written, end of story. When you have to guess why it's an FML, it's poorly written. The fact that your damaged brain finds it logical doesn't change anything.
Probably only kids who are still at home and have never had a rental agreement would have trouble figuring out why this is an FML. It's pretty straight forward...
#75 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:09am by Twinklestar
It's not irrelevant. You said it's poorly written because people have to guess why it's an FML. I pointed out only children who haven't lived on their own would not find this self-explanatory, and even then you'd have to be a bit slow. Clearly you have trouble seeing obvious links if you can't see the relevance of my post or the OPs problem. This isn't really anyone elses problem sorry. One day you're going to move out of home and be in for a shock when your realise you have to be responsible for your own short comings.
#77 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:11am by Twinklestar
First off, there's no debating the fact that it's badly worded. Second, she seems to have just written down whatever popped into her head without being overly concerned about conveying the information in a sensible way; we're left to guess at exactly what happened here. It was obviously bad that her retarded bitch of a friend told the landlord that she lived there with a shitload of cats, but why? No pets allowed? No bitches allowed? What? It's not all that hard to connect the dots, but it's still written by someone with a tenuous grasp of the English language (her mother tongue). Actually, it's not explicitly stated that she got in trouble with the landlord, there is a remote chance that it could be something else.
Crappy writing, end of story. Your posts were, and are, irrelevant. You'll also be happy to know that I moved out the Autumn after graduating from high school. No great shocks yet, at least not any that would be relevant here. Maybe because I have the brains not to do stupid shit like this? Of course, I've never been homeless after moving out of my parents' house; that would probably make life more shocking. Still, I yet again fail to see the relevance.
You can't just say "there's no debating the fact" and make that true. It's worded fine which is the reason it got through the moderators and that the majority of the people in this thread get exactly what happened. A tenuous grasp on the English language? Ignoring the fact you're just assuming it's her first language, would you care to point out exactly what part of her FML is grammatically incorrect or awkward? FMLs have a word limit and are quite often left with ambiguous endings. Although this is hardly that ambiguous anyway; her friend announced to the landlords face that she was breaking her tenancy agreement after being told not to even answer the door. A tenancy agreement states how many people can live in the house and generally whether or not pets are allowed. Honestly, this isn't a very difficult concept and hardly a matter of connecting the dots. Stop embarrassing yourself by repeating that you didn't get it straight away like everyone else so it must be "badly worded".
#80 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:36am by Twinklestar
If you have taken any higher level English course at any university, you would know that the wording of this FML is very poor. It doesn't have to be hard to understand to be poorly worded. It isn't a grammar issue. The wording is just awkward.
#81 - On 11/05/2009 at 2:09pm by GreenHacker
Thank you GreenHacker, my point exactly.
Twinkle my dear, where do I "keep repeating" I didn't understand it? Her friend told her landlord she lived there. This was apparently bad. We get it, ok? My point is that not only is the story unclear as to exactly why this was bad, it's jumbled and awkward. By the way, my tenancy contract does not state the exact number of people who can live here, nor does it forbid house guests. It does say that I can't keep pets unless I clear it with the landlord, but it wouldn't exactly be a major crisis if something like this happened. There's no universal standard for these contracts, you know...
Oh, and I'm assuming her first language is English because she's from Wisconsin. Weird, right? There are numerous grammatical errors in the text as well, but I don't really care; this is the internet, I've come to expect it. Just for fun, I'll let you try to find them yourself, should keep you occupied for a while.
whats so hard to understand about this post? those who are saying its hard to comprehend are basic.
anyways, fyl indeed
I must be stupid cause I read it perfectly the first time. then the second I read it I did not get one bit of it lol
ok honestly, I have no idea what she is talking about and maybe I'm just tired... but can someone please just rewrite it in understandable english??
#49 - On 11/03/2009 at 6:16pm by tornado4327
I FIGURED IT OUT!!! It took me several minutes, but I think I figured out what the OP is trying to say!
1. Her friend was kicked out by her husband.
2. Friend, with animals, needed a place to stay; OP agreed to let friend stay with her.
3. OP probably has a rental agreement which states that only OP is allowed to live at the home, with no pets (I'm guessing).
4. OP was not home today, when the landlord came to visit.
5. Friend answered the door and told the landlord that she lived there.
6. Landlord is now possibly upset because of a violation of OP's rental agreement.
Unfortunately the OP started the story at the end (landlord came to visit) and then jumped back to the beginning and finished it in the middle.
#50 - On 11/03/2009 at 6:24pm by FerrariCake
Thanks for the fuckwit-to-English translation there Ferraricake. I read it as follows:
The OP's friend was thrown out by the landlord's husband. The landlord didn't know anyone else who was in such a state, and begged the OP to stay. The OP told the landlord that the OP would stay, but the landlord should not answer the door. The landlord answered the door with animals, and told the door she was living with the OP.
FML indeed.
LMFAO... yours is the literal translation of the original post, but as you pointed out, it was written in Fuckwit. I've found that if you read enough FML's day after day, you get pretty fluent in Fuckwit and it's not too difficult to interpret.
#62 - On 11/03/2009 at 9:19pm by FerrariCake
Thankyou FerrariCake, I honestly had no idea what OP was talking about...

Revised FML:
Today, my friend was kicked out by her husband and she was forced to take her animals with her. I am the only person she knows in the state, so she begged to stay with me. I let her stay, as long as she
promised not to answer the door because my landlord has a rule forbidding pets. While I was out, the doorbell rang. It was the landlord, and my friend let him in. FML
#55 - On 11/03/2009 at 6:48pm by iFruit
Wife thrown out by her husband? I can't think of many reasons I guy would get so pissed at his wife that he kick her out of the house.
Suggest your friend live with the guy she cheated on her husband with. She obviously knows more than one person in the area. (Yeah, I know, being a presumptuous douche.)
#56 - On 11/03/2009 at 6:51pm by Nakedsquirrel
No wonder you're her only friend in this state. FHL for being such a dunce.
#59 - On 11/03/2009 at 8:31pm by CyclonePsycho
Wait, what? This was so convoluted and confusing I don't even know what you're trying to say. Can someone clarify exactly what happened?
EDIT: Okay, I think I understand now, after about 6 re-readings.
#61 - On 11/03/2009 at 9:11pm by wrenched
Landlords suck...mine caught me and my boyfriend screwing. He entered my apt without notice. A$$hole!
I clicked on YDI because you had to learn the hard way. It's ok, I did, too, as do most people. You should never have pets in your place. It's always a horror show. You could have invited your friend in, but told her to put the pets in a kennel or at somebody else's house or whatever, but forgetting the landlord, just for your own benefit - don't bring pets in, it always ends up in a horror show. I understand that some pet-owners have no-problem pets, but trust me, they're only no-problem pets for the pet-owner. not for anyone else. The only exception I would make is if the friend had a working dog because she was sight impaired. Then I would do it, but with the knowledge that it would probably be a horror show, but I would do it anyway.
damn even after you told her not to answer the door she did AND with the pets! what an ass FHL
#69 - On 11/04/2009 at 12:46am by iplayrugby18
no wonder her husband kicked her out, she's stupid as fuck. Every once in a while, a woman really deserves to be punched or beaten, I picture this as one of those times.
#70 - On 11/04/2009 at 2:38am by FlaminYawn
YDI, that's what you get for having retarded friends. Now please, redeem your own stupidity by punching her in the ovaries like she deserves.
that was a long winded message. you could have edited that down by not saying the same thing over and over again.
