Flood warning

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

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, 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, 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, I walked in on one of my housemates pissing in the kitchen sink full of dirty dishes. 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

Today, I woke up to a strange sound that sounded like a lot of water being poured into a sink. It was actually my father in law using the bathtub as a toilet. He's staying with us, and is showing no signs of leaving any time soon. He thinks this is acceptable behavior. 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.

I find it funny how "What the ****" is a question to how or what is occurring rather than "Oh ****" is an exclamation of shit happening. Maybe hire a better plumber bro

Oh god. I remember one of our bathrooms would suddenly just overflow every other month or so and there would be sewage all over the living room. It was disgusting. This happened like 3 times before we got the toilet removed...

Wait, it's not normal to have a sewage filled kitchen? Crap.

I see a future profit in Clorox bleach stocks after this. Hopefully you were compensated for the damages by the plumber.

Mario can't always have his head in the game. I mean, after spending weeks trying to rescue some bitch who keeps getting herself kidnapped, I'd be a bit tired too if I had to return to the plumbing scene.
