Today, let's just say it's not a good sign when your plumber yells, "What the fuck?!" That is, unless you actually like your kitchen being swamped by sewage. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my sink seemed to be filling up with dirty water. Concerned, I turned on the garbage disposal and plunged away. With no change in the water levels, I called a plumber. He reached in, pulled out the drain plug, and give me his bill while chuckling to himself. FML
Today, I witnessed my neighbor draining his sewage-clogged plumbing into my backyard. FML
Today, I popped into the shower hoping to come out all warm and clean. Something was very wrong with the pipes, and I came out smelling like sewage instead. FML
Today, we had to turn the water off due to a massive leak in the kitchen sink that the plumber was currently fixing. I managed to wait two hours before my uncooperative digestive tract said it couldn't wait any longer and I had to take a mega dump in the bathroom. I couldn't flush the toilet or wash my hands. FML
Today, I was cleaning, anticipating my hypercritical in-laws coming to see our new house. Literally 10 minutes before they arrived, sewage backed up the basement drain. My father-in-law spent the entire visit commenting on the smell, and how he couldn’t use the washroom. FML
Today, there was a potluck at my girlfriend's house. I had a sour stomach, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I flushed, nothing happened. They had to call a plumber to fix the toilet filled with my crap. The whole family watched, noses plugged and faces cringed, looking at me. FML
Today, I walked in on one of my housemates pissing in the kitchen sink full of dirty dishes. FML
Today, at work, I heard a weird sound coming from the ceiling. As I looked up to see what it was, a huge splash of water hit me in the face. I called mall maintenance to let them know. They told me they already knew about the leak… from the sewage line. FML
Today, my landlord refused to send a plumber over to unclog the sink. Now he wants me to pay for water damages because he didn't call a plumber sooner. FML
Today, I woke up to a fog. Literally. A pipe burst in my apartment and scalding water was everywhere. To make matters worse, when I called maintenance he told me he'd come by later, hung up on me, and turned his phone off. He did eventually show up, but it was 5 hours later, well after I'd paid a plumber $200. FML

As a Plumber, I've run into this before, and I'm guessing you have a toilet line that's above your Kitchen line, and a blockage in the stack. Which means when someone flushes the toilet, it comes out the kitchen. It's not your plumbers fault, it just means an idiot designed the plumbing in your house and didn't follow plumbing code.

It doesn't matter what you do OP, they will NEVER love you the way you love them! Trust me… On an unrelated note, I'd advise you to look up the word "agalmatophilia".

Wrong FML, bud. Also, weird username.

So, no other tubes will be plumbed?

Well that was rude, #3. I thought that was an attempt at covering up and making fun of his own mistake, it was kinda funny to me..

Who shat in your soup, #3?

Hey, that's a great idea #3! How could you possibly come up with such a master plan?... that is, unless you do it yourself?
ShirtlessWonder 17
Pretty sure #3 is also the same person. He's trying way too hard.

This, my friend, is the absolute definition of an "Oh, shit" situation.

Looks like you'll be going out to eat for a while...

Nothing like that nasty smell in the morning to get you up and ready to eat something.

Hopefully your plumber has insurance to fix your shitstorm.

Thank you FML stranger, I learned to not buy a house with this kind of pluming later in life.

WHOA! I suspect doom in your future finances. On a completely unrelated note, did he forget to pull his pants up?
