Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was pulling into my driveway, I hit my fence. The same fence that I had repaired last week because I had run into it. FML
Today, I found out that the peaceful rain I'd been listening to all night was really a broken water-main flooding my entire yard. FML
Today, I woke up to a repairman at my door who was simply supposed to turn my water back on in my apartment. Two hours and 5 repairmen later, all I have now is a large hole in my ceiling. Still no water. FML
Today, I paid $5000 for a new fence in my backyard for my dogs. My dog escaped three hours after the contractor finished the fence. FML
Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML
Today, I met my new neighbors. The first thing they did was build a fence. FML
Today, after months of delays, my home renovation is nearing completion. Well, it was nearing completion. Last night, a pipe burst, flooding the entire house. The water damage will cost more to repair than the entire renovation. FML
Today, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. FML
Today, workers came to my house to fix residual moisture damage in my walls left behind by Hurricane Irma. Said workers then burst a water pipe and flooded my entire apartment in the time it took figure out how to turn it off. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my house was flooded from a broken pipe under the sink. My house had just recently had new wood floors, carpet and electrics installed because 6 months earlier my house had been flooded by the same pipe breaking. FML

Tell them that if this water pipe isn't affecting you specifically, they can put the fence back up when they're finished.

I dislike people like #2. They can't understand that an FML is just a way of sharing annoying things that have happened to you. Posting an FML does not mean you are in tears about it or anything like that. I haven't seen a single FML where some retard hasn't something with the theme of "This isn't an FML..." What has to happen for it to be an FML? Do all your family have to die in some unbelievably ironic way to submit an FML? God...

Well then I hope you don't mind having no water service.

@38: As in my response to #35, there's probably utility easements on the OP's property deed giving the water company the right to tear up that chunk of his property to make repairs. You'd get laughed out of court very quickly.

I don't know if that's legal, but if they do take the fence down, you should make them pay to have it put back up.

Umm unless it's your pipe, pretty sure they can't do that without your consent
