Today, I received a phone call that started with, "Now stay calm… Your house is on fire." FML

Today, I saw a firework show. In my kitchen. When my stove blew up. FML
Today, I washed all the dishes that had been piling in the sink over the week, and set them in the drying rack before I left for school.

Today, I received my first compliment in a really long time. It went, "Hey, you don't look like crap today." FML

Today, I tried to get something out of a vending machine. It got stuck. I tried getting something else to knock it down. That got stuck too. I tried a third time… take a wild guess. One massive tirade later, someone came and tried to help me out. Stuck. Four times in a row. How is that even possible? FML
Today, I tried to stage an intervention for a friend who abuses drugs. I ended up with my hair on fire. FML

Today, I found out that our smoke detector doesn't work when my roommate turned on the wrong burner while trying to cook. Our air fryer was on said burner, and it started to melt. It sat there for who knows how long until I noticed smoke everywhere and went to investigate. We don't have an air fryer now. FML
