Today, I found out that a water pipe at my work had burst over the weekend. There is absolutely no water in the building, including the bathrooms. It's a 9-hour day, and I took a laxative this morning before I came in. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my apartment management notified me that my water was going to be shut off all day so they could fix the plumbing. I took a laxative last night. 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, a pipe leaked in the store I work at. I had to smell sordid waste for more than 8 hours. FML
Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML
Today, I returned to work after a restful week-long holiday. Before I left, I'd finished a huge assignment which is due this week. I walk in to find a water pipe has burst just above my desk, flooding our office with water and ruining my computer. Happy New Year to me. FML
Today, I woke up to find that there has been a water main break in my neighborhood and there is no running water until the break is located and fixed. I had chili with beans late last night and it is wreaking havoc with my lower gastrointestinal tract, and the toilet won't flush. FML
Today, at work I had to spend two hours cleaning up stinky toilet water. Why? Because yesterday, I forgot to turn on the septic tank pumps. The tank overflowed, and so did all the toilets. My boss is not happy. FML
Today, my apartment building shut off our water for a short period of time because the pipes were being worked on. It was also the morning my dog had diarrhea on my cream carpet. Not only did I have to clean it up without water, I couldn't wash my hands afterward. FML
Today, I took a dump at work. When I went to flush the toilet, it clogged and began to overflow. I left the bathroom as it was and as I walked out, my boss came in. FML
Today, while using the bathroom I gave the toilet a courtesy flush, only for it to overflow and soak my pants. That would've been bad enough even if I hadn't been at work, with five hours left on my shift and no change of clothes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you take laxatives at all? Well that's just me. Besides it IS illigal to be forced, no matter where you live, to work in a building where there is no running water because of the poor hygiene, and everything it can cause

I suggest you go buy you a bucket with a tight-fittin' lid. Or mosey on out to the woods when nature calls. By the way, we're having record cold temps here in Texas, so there are lots of pipes freezing because we usually don't have to deal with such cold.

YDI for taking laxatives in the morning because your too lazy to excersize to prevent from getting any fatter then you are now, should you become fat.

Taking laxatives first thing in the morning will not keep you from getting fat. Models and other people who take them to keep their weight down take them right around the time they eat, in hopes that the laxatives will kick in before their body has a chance to process the food they just ate.

Honestly, this seems more like the janitor's FML. You calmly shit and walk away while noone is watching the bathroom, later the janitor is the one having to work his ass off to clean it up.

Wow, that does suck. I feel sorry for you. The same thing happened at my job today (minus the ex-lax). Hope everything goes alright!

Why would you take a laxative before work? You wanted to get paid for pooping?
