Love, Health, Fire and Miscellaneous: Easily distracted

Easily distracted

By Jeanine - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I returned to my apartment to find everything reduced to ashes, hidden in black clouds of smoke. Turns out there was a blackout, and my fiancé lit a candle on top of a stack of all our wedding papers. When he smelled the smoke, he got hungry for a taco and left instead of calling 911. FML

Today, I woke up to my apartment filled with smoke, fire alarms blaring. My roommate set my kitchen on fire while making hot dogs. This is the fourth time this has happened. FML

Today, we were having a little bonfire. At some point, while I was inside, my stupid roommate filled a beer can with lighter fluid and threw it in the fire, resulting in it spewing 5-foot flames, catching the pile of wood and the chair next to it on fire. FML

Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML

Happy New Leg

Today, instead of spending New Year's Eve having a romantic night out with my fiancé as we'd planned, I'm spending it sitting beside him in the hospital because his friends convinced him to go off-road ghost-riding in the dead of night. FML

Today, I got a ransom note saying, "We have kidnapped your husband and won't release him unless you postpone the wedding." The wedding is tomorrow and it was in his handwriting. FML

Today, after coming home from surgery, I discovered that the heating in my entire building had failed. I called my mom asking if I could come and stay with her for a few days. She told me to "think warm thoughts." FML

Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML

Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting to surprise him when he got home from work. I was laying in his bed when he called to tell me we were over. I couldn't leave before he got home. FML

Wow, sounds like you snagged a keeper. Run while you can! Heck, if he burned the wedding papers it sounds like he made it easier for you!

@#7 & #32 Lets try not to stereotype people please. We all agree that the person that the OP was talking about is stupid.

Agree with #37. There are idiots in both genders, I can't tell you, as a man, I would sit a candle on my wedding papers, smell the smoke and go get a taco. (I hate tacos) :)

At least now you know what an idiot he is. Don't marry someone that stupid.

the guy deserved it for putting a candle on an unstable location. a stack of wedding papers is a very creative location! (Y)

Well, my first instinct would be to say you should dump him, but... ... if only there were clear signs of his asshatness... ... like if he'd passive-aggressively "accidentally" set your wedding plans on fire ... ... of if he'd done something clearly demonstrating that you mean less to him than a taco ... ... hm, it's a tough call.
